High temperature gas vacuum tube furnaces have been widely used in various fields due to their unique ability to operate at high temperatures, vacuum, or controlled atmospheres, as follows:
1. Research field of materials science
Ceramic material preparation: used to achieve densification sintering of ceramic materials, such as alumina ceramics sintered in a vacuum environment at 1600 ℃, which can remove pores and impurities in the body, increase density, and improve bending strength.
Heat treatment of metal materials: including annealing, quenching, tempering and other processes to improve the mechanical properties of metal materials. For example, annealing treatment of aircraft engine blades under argon protection at 1100 ℃ can eliminate processing stress, refine grain size, and extend fatigue life.
Nanomaterial synthesis: It is a key equipment for preparing nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots, etc. For example, in an argon atmosphere at 800-1200 ℃, high-purity single-walled or multi walled carbon nanotubes can be generated by catalytic cracking of methane gas.
Preparation of semiconductor materials: Used for doping process of silicon wafers, introducing gaseous compounds of phosphorus or boron at 1000 ℃ can accurately control the doping concentration and depth, forming PN junctions that meet the requirements.
2. In the field of electronic component manufacturing
Electronic ceramic sintering: used for manufacturing ceramic capacitors, varistors, thermistors and other electronic components.
