It happens in a blink. You heat them up too quickly or cool them down too abruptly, the internal stress builds up, and <em>snap</em>—you&rsquo;ve got a pile of scrap. The trick is avoiding those steep temperature jumps. We handle this using shortwave infrared (IR) lamps that can change power levels almost instantly.</p>
