High-temperature furnaces (HTFs) are specialized equipment designed to generate extremely high temperatures, typically up to 3000 °C, using electrical heating systems, advanced insulation materials, and innovative designs. These furnaces are crucial in various scientific and industrial applications, particularly in clean technology, materials science, metallurgy, and manufacturing processes.
Applications of High-Temperature Furnaces:
-
High-Temperature Sintering Furnaces:
- These furnaces are used in powder metallurgy for sintering stainless steel and iron-based materials. They are essential in the fabrication of refractory metals like molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium. In the nuclear-fuel industry, they are used for sintering uranium oxide. The ceramic industry also utilizes high-temperature processing for sintering, co-firing, and metallizing.
-
Lead Melting:
- HTFs facilitate the melting of lead, which is critical in the production of various battery types, ensuring accurate composition and uniformity.
-
Label Application:
- They assist in applying labels or coatings onto battery components at high temperatures, enhancing durability and functionality.
