Unrivaled Technical Support and Service
Contemporary hot zone designs predominantly incorporate graphite in various forms such as sheets, felt, or board for insulation, alongside graphite components like heating elements, connectors, and furnace bases. A plethora of graphite grades and insulating components provide end-users with a diverse array of advanced material options.
The selection of appropriate materials is paramount and varies with each application. Optimal material choices enable controlled atmosphere and vacuum furnaces to operate at uniform temperatures exceeding 5250°F, minimizing contamination and power losses.
Description of Application of Graphite Rod in Vacuum Furnace
-
Red Heat Uniformity: Select graphite rods exhibiting uniform red heat distribution in the heating section. Discrepancies in red heat uniformity can compromise furnace temperature uniformity and shorten graphite rod lifespan. Over time, declining red heat uniformity may culminate in rod fracture.
-
Service Temperature Considerations: The lifespan of graphite rods diminishes with increasing service temperatures. Beyond 1500℃, accelerated oxidation rates curtail rod longevity. To prolong usage, mitigate excessively high surface temperatures of graphite rods.
