What are the application areas of vacuum annealing furnaces?

The application fields of vacuum annealing furnaces are very wide, mainly covering the following aspects:
1. Metal processing and heat treatment
Stainless steel products: Vacuum annealing furnace is particularly suitable for stainless steel deep drawn parts, such as plumbing equipment, water expansion parts, pins, medical equipment, stainless steel nails, stainless steel screws, riveting parts, stainless steel bearings, watch cases, watch straps, cutting tools, micro shafts, self tapping and self drilling, tableware and other stainless steel products. These products undergo continuous bright annealing, solid solution treatment, demagnetization, and stainless steel quenching treatment in a vacuum state, which can significantly improve the quality and performance of the products.
