High temperature transport belt for materials treating furnace

摘要

In a materials treating furnace, a belt is provided for transporting articles to be treated through a high temperature treatment zone. The belt comprises a succession of interwoven links, each of which is made up of a length of tungsten wire which has been heated and wound around an elliptical mandrel to provide a link which is in the form of a slightly flattened helix having no sharp bends. The interweaving of the helical links provides a large number of interlocking contact points between successive links.
