vacuum furnace

We have the best Vacuum Furnace solutions for your unique requirements. Our custom vacuum furnaces are engineered to meet almost any customer requirement. We offer a range of shapes and sizes, multiple hot zone options, and manual or automatic flow controls. Our extensive portfolio virtually guarantees there is an appropriate standard solution that will meet your needs. We build vacuum furnaces operating at pressures as low as 10-11 Torr (mBar) with an operating range from room temperature to a maximum temperature of 3000 °C (5432°F) for our tungsten hot zones and 2200 °C (3992°F) for our graphite hot zones in a rough vacuum level (10-2 Torr/mbar).

Applications of Vacuum Furnace

• Annealing
• Brazing
• Sintering
• Heat treatment
• Hardening
• Tempering
• Aging
• Nitriding
• Carburizing
• Quenching

Advantages of Vacuum Furnace

• Allows heating of metals to high temperatures with minimal contamination problems due to the absence of oxygen.
• Provides uniform high temperatures and precise temperature control for producing high-quality materials with consistent properties.
• Low contamination from carbon, oxygen, and other gases due to the vacuum atmosphere.
• Quick quenching or cooling of the product is possible to shorten process cycle times.
• Computer-controlled to ensure repeatable performance for consistent quality output.
• Can heat materials up to temperatures as high as 3,000 °C (5,432 °F) with select materials.
• Commercially available vacuum pumping systems can reach vacuum levels as low as 1×10−11 torrs (1.3×10−11 mbar; 1.3×10−14 atm).
• Vacuum pumping systems remove low temperature by-products from the process materials during heating, resulting in a higher purity end product.
• Used for a wide range of industrial processes, such as heat treatment, sintering, brazing, and annealing.
• Typically made of refractory materials, such as graphite or ceramic, that can withstand the extreme temperatures and vacuum environment.

Our Vacuum Furnace is the perfect solution for your unique projects. Our extensive product line provides a standard solution to fit your needs. However, for more unconventional applications, our custom design service comes in handy. Our custom vacuum furnaces are engineered for your specific project, no matter how unconventional it may be. These furnaces are designed for multiple processes, available in vertical or horizontal loading, and come in a range of shapes and sizes. In addition, we offer automatic flow controls and multiple hot zone options. The best part? Our Vacuum Furnace is very advantageous in terms of price and offers a complete customisation service.
