Application of Box type High temperature Heat Treatment Furnace in the New Materials Industry

The application of box type high-temperature heat treatment furnaces in the new materials industry is extensive and critical, mainly reflected in the synthesis of new materials, material modification treatment, material performance optimization, and construction of multivariate experimental platforms. The following is a detailed introduction:

1. New material synthesis
The box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace provides a stable and controllable high-temperature environment for the synthesis of new materials, and is the core equipment for the preparation of various advanced ceramics and composite materials. In powder metallurgy and nanomaterial sintering processes, the enclosed space can effectively maintain a specific atmosphere (such as vacuum, inert gas), avoiding oxidation or other adverse reactions of materials at high temperatures. For example, the sintering of alumina ceramics needs to be carried out at high temperatures above 1400 ℃. By adjusting the heating rate and holding time through a box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace, the density and mechanical properties (such as strength and hardness) of the ceramics can be significantly improved.

2. Material modification treatment
Metal material heat treatment: The box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace can optimize the microstructure of alloys and achieve a balance of hardness, toughness, and other properties by controlling temperature and holding time. For example, the application of new metal materials such as titanium alloys and nickel based alloys in the aerospace field relies on box type high-temperature heat treatment furnaces for annealing, quenching, sintering, and other processes to improve their high-temperature strength, fatigue resistance, and oxidation resistance.
Composite material preparation: Through high-temperature hot pressing or thermosetting processes, a box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace can combine different materials together to form new materials with excellent properties. For example, the preparation of high-performance composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics and ceramic based composite materials cannot be separated from the support of box type high-temperature heat treatment furnaces.

3. Material performance optimization
High temperature phase transformation research: The box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace combined with in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and other characterization methods can observe the real-time changes in crystal structure and phase composition of materials at high temperatures. This is of great significance for the development of high-temperature structural materials, protective coatings, etc.
Precise control of microstructure: By precisely controlling temperature and holding time, the box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace can promote uniform distribution of precipitation strengthening phases, thereby effectively improving the fatigue life and fracture toughness of the alloy. For example, in the heat treatment of metal materials, high-strength martensitic structures can be formed or the hardness and toughness of the material can be adjusted to achieve the desired state through processes such as quenching and tempering.

4. Construction of multivariate experimental platform
A multivariate experimental platform based on a box type high-temperature heat treatment furnace can systematically explore the behavioral patterns of materials during dynamic heat treatment processes. By adjusting parameters such as the composition of the furnace atmosphere (such as inert gas, active gas mixture), temperature gradient, etc., the phase structure of new materials under different conditions can be explored, accelerating the iteration of new material design. For example, in the process of catalyst preparation, different types and properties of catalysts can be obtained by adjusting different atmosphere and temperature conditions, which has a significant impact on the efficiency and economy of chemical production.
