The furnace supports a maximum use temperature of 2400℃.
Multiple high-temperature volume options are available: 12 L, 45 L, 375 L, 540 L, 3500 L, and 10000 L.
The furnace supports working atmospheres including vacuum, hydrogen, nitrogen, and other inert gases. Proper gas handling and safety systems are required for reactive gases such as hydrogen.
Temperature is measured using infrared optical temperature measurement (pyrometry). Temperature measurement accuracy is specified as 0.2%–0.75%, and the temperature control accuracy is ±1℃.
Temperature uniformity is specified as ≤±10℃ across the controlled working zone, subject to load geometry and thermal mass of the charge.
The system supports temperature measurement ranges of either 800–2400℃ or 0–2400℃ depending on configuration and sensor selection.
The furnace supports both program (automated ramp/soak profiles) and manual control modes for flexible process control.
The limit heating rate is 75℃ per minute. Actual achievable rates depend on furnace size, load, and process conditions.
Typical applications include sintering cemented carbide materials, powder metallurgy for various metal compositions, R&D in materials science, and high-temperature testing of new materials.
The furnace requires a 380 V electrical supply (consult manufacturer for phase and amperage). Note the listed weight is 2 T (approx. 2 tonnes), so floor loading and rigging must be planned accordingly.
Follow standard high-temperature and gas-handling safety: train operators, use thermal PPE, ensure proper ventilation, implement hydrogen safety protocols (leak detection, purging, explosion prevention), maintain vacuum/gas lines, and follow lockout/tagout and emergency procedures.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting seals and insulation, checking and calibrating temperature sensors, servicing vacuum pumps and gas lines, verifying controller and software operation, and replacing worn heating components per supplier recommendations. Keep a log of cycles and service actions.
Yes — the furnace is designed for high-efficiency sintering of cemented carbide and is suitable for a range of powder metallurgy materials, provided process parameters (temperature, atmosphere, time) are properly controlled.
Sample size, batch mass, and placement affect temperature uniformity, heating time, and final properties. Smaller, evenly distributed loads yield better uniformity and faster cycle times. Always validate profiles for your specific charge geometry.
For spare parts, optional accessories (vacuum pumps, gas handling, quench systems), technical support, and field service, contact the furnace manufacturer or authorized distributor. They can provide compatible parts and qualified technicians.
