What are the materials that can be sintered in an experimental vacuum muffle furnace?

The experimental vacuum muffle furnace can sinter various materials, and the following are some common types:

Ceramic materials
Oxide ceramics, such as aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O ∝) ceramics, have high hardness, high melting point, good wear resistance, and insulation properties, and can be used to manufacture cutting tools, grinding tools, electronic components, etc. Zirconia (ZrO ₂) ceramics have excellent high temperature resistance, chemical stability, and thermal insulation properties, and are commonly used in aerospace, automotive engines, ceramic cutting tools, and other fields.
Non oxide ceramics, such as silicon nitride (Si ∝ N ₄) ceramics, have high strength, high hardness, good wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can be used to manufacture mechanical parts, cutting tools, etc. Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics have high hardness, high thermal conductivity, good high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, and are commonly used in the manufacture of heating elements for high-temperature furnaces and components in semiconductor manufacturing.

Metallic materials
Refractory metals, such as tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), etc., have high melting points, high hardness, and good high-temperature strength, and have important applications in aerospace, electronics, metallurgy, and other fields. By sintering in a vacuum muffle furnace, high-performance refractory metal products such as tungsten wires and molybdenum electrodes can be prepared.
Alloy materials: such as nickel based alloys, titanium alloys, etc. Nickel based alloys have good high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, and are commonly used in fields such as aviation engines and gas turbines. Titanium alloys have high strength, low density, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, and are widely used in fields such as aerospace, medical devices, and chemical engineering. Vacuum muffle furnace sintering can accurately control the composition and microstructure of alloys, and improve their properties.

Composite material
Metal based composite material: It is a composite material that uses metal as the matrix and adds reinforcing phases such as ceramics and fibers. By sintering in a vacuum muffle furnace, the metal matrix can be better combined with the reinforcing phase, improving the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of the material. It is commonly used in fields such as aerospace and automotive industry.
Ceramic based composite material: It is a composite material that uses ceramics as the matrix and adds reinforcing phases such as fibers and particles. It has high hardness, high melting point, good high-temperature resistance and thermal shock resistance, and can be used for high-temperature components in aerospace, defense and other fields.
Powder metallurgy materials: By sintering metal or alloy powders in a vacuum muffle furnace, various complex shaped and high-precision parts can be made, such as mechanical parts, automotive components, cutting tools, etc. Powder metallurgy materials have high density, strength, and wear resistance, while also saving material and processing costs.
