Heat Treatment Mesh Basket | Custom Fine Mesh Furnace Fixture – FH® Alloy
Fine Mesh Heat Treatment Fixture for Small Parts & Precision Components

FH® Alloy, a brand of Wuxi Junteng Fanghu Alloy Technology Co., Ltd., manufactures custom heat treatment mesh baskets and furnace fixtures for industrial high-temperature applications.

This rectangular heat treatment fixture combines a reinforced outer frame with a fine metal mesh loading surface, making it particularly suitable for small components, precision parts, and workpieces that require secure containment during heating, soaking, and cooling.

Each fixture can be customized according to the customer's part size, furnace dimensions, operating temperature, furnace atmosphere, loading weight, and heat treatment process.

Designed for Small & Precision Parts
Conventional open-grid furnace trays may not be suitable for small workpieces because parts can fall through large openings or move excessively during handling.

The fine mesh structure of this fixture provides more complete support for small components while maintaining sufficient open area for heat and furnace atmosphere circulation.

Typical advantages include:

• Secure containment of small parts
• Reduced risk of parts falling through the fixture
• Better separation from larger supporting structures
• Consistent workpiece distribution
• Efficient loading and unloading
• Suitable for batch processing of precision components

Fine Mesh Structure for Heat Circulation
The metal mesh bottom provides a dense supporting surface without becoming a fully closed plate.

This structure helps balance two important requirements:
Workpiece Retention + Furnace Atmosphere Circulation
Potential benefits include:

• More uniform heat exposure
• Improved furnace gas circulation
• Faster heat transfer than solid trays
• Better drainage or cooling medium flow, depending on process
• Reduced fixture mass compared with solid plate structures

Mesh opening size can be customized according to the minimum workpiece dimensions.

Reinforced Peripheral Frame
The outer frame provides the main structural support for the mesh section.
FH® can customize:

• Frame thickness
• Overall dimensions
• Mesh size
• Mesh wire diameter
• Supporting ribs
• Corner structure
• Locating points
• Stacking features
• Lifting or handling points

The structure can be optimized according to total loading weight and thermal cycling conditions.

Stackable Heat Treatment Fixture Design
The fixture shown is suitable for stacked storage and can also be developed as part of a multi-layer furnace loading system.

A stackable structure can help:

• Improve furnace capacity
• Maximize usable furnace volume
• Keep layers properly separated
• Simplify workshop handling
• Improve repeatability of loading arrangements

The stacking height and positioning structure can be customized according to the furnace chamber and workpiece dimensions.

Typical Applications
FH® heat treatment mesh baskets can be used for:

• Small automotive parts
• Fasteners
• Precision castings
• Springs
• Small gears
• Pins and bushings
• Hardware components
• Precision machined parts
• Small forged parts
• Other compact metal components

Suitable furnace processes may include:

• Carburizing
• Annealing
• Hardening
• Normalizing
• Tempering
• Other industrial heat treatment processes

Heat-Resistant Alloy Options
Material selection depends on actual service conditions.

FH® can manufacture heat treatment fixtures using different heat-resistant materials according to customer requirements, including commonly used grades such as:
1.4848 / 1.4849 / 1.4852 / 310S and other heat-resistant alloys

Selection should consider:

• Maximum operating temperature
• Furnace atmosphere
• Heating cycle
• Cooling method
• Workpiece load
• Fixture weight
• Oxidation resistance
• High-temperature creep resistance
• Required service life

Technical Specifications

Custom Designed Around Your Parts
