    摘要: A furnace for treating metal parts includes a treatment atmosphere provided at an interior of the furnace; at least one burner operatively associated with the furnace for heating the treatment atmosphere to a temperature below a melting point of the metal parts; a passageway interconnecting the interior and the at least one burner, the passageway directing at least a portion of the heat treatment atmosphere exhausted from the furnace interior to the at least one burner for combustion; and a source of oxygen in fluid communication with the at least one burner for enriching combustion of the heat treatment atmosphere portion with oxygen at said burner. A related method is also provided.
