These furnaces offer a number of advantages over traditional vacuum furnaces, including:

  • No surface oxidation or discoloration
  • Minimal distortion
  • Flux free brazing
  • Repeatable quality
  • Clean, safe, quiet and efficient

Principle

The vacuum furnace with ceramic fiber lining uses a heating element made of resistance wire or molybdenum disilicide to heat the furnace chamber. The ceramic fiber lining insulates the furnace chamber, minimizing heat loss. The furnace is equipped with a vacuum pump that evacuates the air from the furnace chamber, creating a vacuum environment. This vacuum environment prevents the oxidation of the materials being heated and allows for precise temperature control. The furnace is also equipped with a temperature controller that regulates the temperature of the furnace chamber.

Advantages

  • No surface oxidation or discoloration: The vacuum environment prevents oxygen from reaching the workpiece, eliminating oxidation and discoloration.
  • Minimal distortion:The uniform heating and cooling rates minimize thermal stresses, reducing distortion.
  • Flux free brazing:Vacuum furnaces allow for fluxless brazing, eliminating the need for post-brazing cleaning.
  • Repeatable quality: The controlled atmosphere and precise temperature control ensure consistent and repeatable results.
  • Clean, safe, quiet and efficient:Vacuum furnaces operate in a closed environment, minimizing noise and emissions. They also offer improved energy efficiency due to the reduced heat loss.
  • Excellent heat insulating property:Polycrystalline ceramic fiber liners provide excellent thermal insulation, resulting in reduced heat loss and energy savings.
  • Outstanding uniformity of temperature field:The ceramic fiber lining promotes uniform temperature distribution throughout the furnace chamber.
  • High vacuum performance:Vacuum levels up to 6*10-3Pa ensure effective removal of gases and contaminants.
  • Excellent vacuum pressure maintaining performance:** The low vacuum pressure rise rate (0.67Pa/h) maintains a stable vacuum environment.
  • PID programmable microprocessor temperature control system:Precise temperature control ensures accurate and reliable heating.
  • Safety interlock system:Automatic power shut-off in case of door opening, over temperature, or sensor failure ensures safe operation.

Vacuum Furnace Safety Advantage

  • Kindle Tech vacuum furnace owns over current protection, over temperature alarming function, furnace will turn off the power automatically
  • Furnace build in thermal couple detecting function, furnace will stop heating and alarm will be on once broken or failure detected
  • Power failure restarting function,furnace will resume the furnace heating program when power is incoming after failure

Warnings

Operator safety is the top important issue! Please operate the equipment with cautions. Working with inflammable& explosive or toxic gases is very dangerous, operators must take all necessary precautions before starting the equipment. Working with positive pressure inside the reactors or chambers is dangerous, operator must fellow the safety procedures strictly. Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials, especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a violent reaction to occur.

FAQ

What is a vacuum furnace used for?

A vacuum furnace is used for high-temperature processing of materials in a controlled environment without any contamination. It operates by surrounding the product with a vacuum, which prevents oxidation and heat loss from the product through convection. This furnace is commonly used for heat treatment of steel alloys at temperatures below 1200 °C. High-temperature vacuum furnaces can reach temperatures up to 3000°C and are used for industrial processes such as sintering, brazing, annealing, and heat treatment with high consistency and low contamination. The ability to achieve uniform heating across the entire workpiece is a key benefit of using a high-temperature vacuum furnace.

What is the process of a vacuum furnace?

The process of a vacuum furnace involves loading the parts into the chamber and creating a vacuum inside it by utilizing a vacuum pump. The next step is to heat the parts using temperature controls, which can reach between 1,500 and 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. This process eliminates the possibility of oxidation and contamination, resulting in a higher purity end product. After heating, the parts are cooled and finished before being removed from the vacuum furnace. The furnace consists of various components, including the vacuum system, furnace shell, electric heating element, temperature controls, power supply system, and transport apparatus.

What gas is used in a vacuum furnace?

Different gases can be used in a vacuum furnace depending on the application. In general, vacuum furnaces can work with gases or mixtures such as Argon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Helium, among others. The use of these gases allows for heat treatment in a defined, mostly non-oxidizing atmosphere, which is required for various applications such as vacuum soldering and brazing, vacuum annealing, and sintering. Additionally, it is possible to work with a defined oxygen concentration that is different from the air composition.

What is the heating element used in a vacuum furnace?

The heating element in a vacuum furnace is critical to its proper functioning, and is dependent on factors such as maximum operating temperature, power load, partial pressure and quench gases, and life expectancy. Vacuum furnaces are heated by electric resistance elements made from a variety of materials, including high-temperature metallic alloys such as stainless steel, nickel-chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, or of non-metallic materials such as graphite and silicon carbide. The choice of material for the heating element is important in maximizing its longevity, reliability, efficiency, and ultimately the process results.
