Box type atmosphere annealing furnace is a heat treatment equipment that combines vacuum technology and atmosphere control technology. It has the advantages of precise temperature control, atmosphere protection, high efficiency and energy saving, and is widely used in heat treatment processes in the fields of metals, ceramics, semiconductors, etc.
1. Working principle
The box type atmosphere annealing furnace converts electrical energy into thermal energy through electric heating elements such as resistance wires, silicon carbon rods, and silicon molybdenum rods, and transfers it to the workpieces inside the furnace through radiation and convection. Its core functions include:
Temperature control: PID algorithm is used to monitor the temperature in real time through thermocouples or thermal resistors, automatically adjust the heating power, and ensure temperature uniformity (usually with a temperature control accuracy of ± 1 ℃).
Atmosphere control: Protective or reactive gases such as nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen can be introduced to create an oxygen free or specific atmosphere environment, preventing workpiece oxidation or participation in chemical reactions.
Vacuum system: Some models are equipped with vacuum pumps, which can achieve low to high vacuum environments (vacuum degree range -0.1 MPa to 10 ⁻⁶ Pa), further improving the accuracy of atmosphere control.
2. Application Fields
Metal processing industry: used for quenching, tempering, annealing, welding and other processes to improve material hardness, strength and corrosion resistance.
Ceramic industry: supports sintering of ceramic raw materials and products to enhance material density and performance.
Semiconductor materials: suitable for silicon wafer cooling, baking, chemical vapor deposition and other processes, meeting high purity requirements.
New material research and development: used for heat treatment of nanomaterials and special alloys, promoting the progress of materials science.
Chemical and Life Sciences: Supports experimental needs such as high-temperature reaction control, cell culture, and protein crystallization.
