The advantages of vacuum atmosphere tube furnace mainly include the following aspects:
1. Strong atmosphere control ability
Accurate adjustment: The vacuum atmosphere tube furnace can control and adjust the atmosphere inside the furnace as needed (such as inert or reactive gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, etc.) to meet the strict requirements of specific material processing for the atmosphere environment. This is very advantageous for preventing oxidation, conducting specific chemical reactions, and so on.
Pollution prevention: Under vacuum and specific atmosphere, it can greatly reduce the risk of oxidation of materials during high-temperature processing, as well as avoid contamination of materials by impurities and atmospheric components.
2. High temperature control accuracy
Temperature uniformity: Reasonable design (such as heating element arrangement, etc.) can achieve a relatively uniform distribution of temperature inside the tube, which is conducive to ensuring consistency in material processing.
Flexible temperature rise and fall: It can achieve a faster temperature rise and fall rate, improving production and experimental efficiency.
Intelligent control: Adopting advanced intelligent control systems, such as a 50 segment program temperature control system, various temperature rise programs can be programmed according to needs, with PID regulation control precision, fuzzy logic, and self-tuning functions to ensure the accuracy and stability of temperature control.
3. High thermal efficiency
Good insulation effect: With excellent insulation and vacuum insulation properties, it reduces heat loss to the environment and improves thermal efficiency.
Energy saving: Vacuum adsorption technology is used for furnace materials such as polycrystalline mullite fibers, which can effectively save energy and reduce operating costs.
4. Good safety performance
Overtemperature protection: It has multiple safety protection functions such as overtemperature protection (such as automatic power cut-off in case of overheating), ensuring that the equipment can automatically cut off power in case of abnormal conditions, and avoiding safety accidents.
Good sealing performance: Strict requirements are placed on the sealing performance of the vacuum system and furnace body, reducing safety risks caused by poor sealing.
5. Easy to operate
Simple structure: compact design, lightweight structure, reasonable craftsmanship, relatively simple operation and maintenance.
Easy to use: The gas path connection adopts a quick connect flange structure, which simplifies the process of material retrieval and improves operational efficiency.
6. Wide applicability
Material compatibility: Can be used for processing various materials, including metals, ceramics, semiconductor materials, etc.
Process diversity: It can be used for various processes such as high-temperature atmosphere sintering, atmosphere reduction, vacuum annealing, etc., such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
7. Stability and Scalability
Process stability: It has high stability in controlling atmosphere and temperature, which helps ensure the stability and consistency of material processing.
Scalability: It can achieve a certain degree of capacity expansion or continuous processing of multiple batches by adding furnace tubes, etc., to meet the production and experimental needs of different scales.
In summary, vacuum atmosphere tube furnaces have shown significant advantages in atmosphere control, temperature control, thermal efficiency, safety, ease of operation, applicability, stability, and scalability. They are indispensable equipment in scientific research, production, and experimentation.
