Paint Curing and Hydrogen De-Embrittlement Bake Oven
For Paint Curing and Hydrogen De-embrittlement Bake, What type of Oven is recommended. Either an Air Circulating Convection type or non-air circulating? Is there any reference standard regarding the oven types.

It is much easier to pass an oven survey with a circulating oven and the parts will reach oven temp faster, but they do cost a bit more. Pay me now or pay me later.
Both types are used in the USA.

Mohammad,
Try AMS2750, this has become pretty much the industry standard for the type of oven and how to control the ovens.

For solvent-based paint curing the oven needs to be rated for solvents. I believe this requires a larger exhaust to recirculation ratio compared to an oven that is not solvent rated. I hope this helps.
