① Box type sintering furnace: The box type sintering furnace has a simple structure and is usually composed of a closed box and heating elements, suitable for small batch production and laboratory research. Box type sintering furnace has advantages such as uniform heating, convenient operation, and low cost.
② Vacuum sintering furnace: Sintering in a vacuum state requires the installation of a vacuum pump unit, which is costly and suitable for sintering high-temperature, high-purity ceramic materials.
③ Atmosphere sintering furnace: Sintering is carried out in a specific atmosphere, such as nitrogen, argon, etc. It is suitable for ceramic materials sensitive to atmosphere and is a commonly used ceramic sintering furnace type.
④ Hot press sintering furnace: a sintering process performed by applying pressure and heat treatment, suitable for porous and structurally complex ceramic materials.

There are also some sintering furnaces for specific purposes, such as silicon carbide pressureless sintering furnaces and silicon carbide reaction sintering furnaces. The silicon carbide pressureless sintering furnace is suitable for sintering various ceramic materials, such as boron carbide ceramics and silicon carbide ceramics, and is particularly suitable for precision ceramic sintering that requires high consistency in the density of shrinkage size finished products. The silicon carbide reaction sintering furnace is mainly used for sintering specific ceramic materials such as silicon carbide rod sintering and silicon carbide kiln furniture sintering.
