The temperature of a tube furnace can vary depending on the specific model and its design, but it can reach up to 1800°C (3272°F) for certain high-temperature models. For example, the "Three Zone High Temp Tube Furnace 1400°C" mentioned in the reference is designed to operate at a maximum temperature of 1400°C, suitable for heat treatment of various materials including metal, ceramic, nano, and semiconductor materials.
The temperature capabilities of tube furnaces are influenced by the type of heating element used. For instance, furnaces equipped with Fe-Cr-Al or Ni-Cr-Al alloy heating elements can operate between 250 to 1250°C, those with SiC heating elements between 1300 to 1600°C, and those with MoSi2 heating elements between 1600 to 1800°C. The choice of the heating element determines the maximum and continuous working temperatures of the furnace.
Additionally, the selection of the processing tube material is crucial as it must withstand the furnace's maximum operating temperature without undergoing unwanted chemical reactions. For example, quartz tubes are suitable up to 1200°C in atmospheric conditions, while alumina tubes can withstand up to 1800°C.
In summary, the temperature of a tube furnace can be tailored to specific needs by selecting the appropriate heating element and processing tube material, ensuring optimal performance for various industrial and research applications.
