The heating range of a muffle furnace typically spans from below 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit) to above 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632 degrees Fahrenheit). This broad range allows for flexibility in various applications, including ashing, heat treatment, annealing, calcination, and sintering.
The specific temperature capabilities of a muffle furnace depend on the type of heating elements used. Common models feature metallic wire heating elements, which can reach temperatures between 1000°C and 1200°C. More advanced furnaces use silicon carbide heating elements that can achieve temperatures up to 1600°C, and molybdenum disilicide heating elements that can reach up to 1800°C.
Choosing a muffle furnace with a temperature range that exceeds the required application temperature is recommended for flexibility in future applications. This ensures that the furnace can accommodate a variety of processes and materials, enhancing its utility in laboratory and industrial settings.
