Abstract: Support plates for localized heating in thermal processing systems to uniformly heat workpieces are provided. In one example implementation, localized heating is achieved by modifying a heat transmittance of a support plate such that one or more portions of the support plate proximate the areas that cause cold spots transmit more heat than the rest of the support plate. For example, the one or more portions (e.g., arears proximate to one or more support pins) of the support plate have a higher heat transmittance (e.g., a higher optical transmission) than the rest of the support plate. In another example implementation, localized heating is achieved by heating a workpiece via a coherent light source through a transmissive support structure (e.g., one or more support pins, or a ring support) in addition to heating the workpiece globally by light from heat sources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for heat treating closed shape workpieces are provided. In one example implementation, a method can include imparting relative motion of the closed shape workpiece such that the perimeter surface of the closed shape workpiece is moved relative to the lamp heat source from a first position where a first portion of the closed shape workpiece is presented to the lamp heat source to a second position where a second portion of the closed shape workpiece is presented to the lamp heat source. The method can include emitting lamp heat onto the perimeter surface of the closed shape workpiece from the lamp heat source during imparting of relative motion of the closed shape workpiece. The method can include implementing a flux control procedure during emitting of lamp heat onto the perimeter surface of the closed shape workpiece.
