High thermal efficiency: Vacuum heat treatment furnaces can achieve rapid heating and cooling, improving heat treatment efficiency.
No oxidation, no decarburization, no carburizing: Heat treatment under vacuum can avoid chemical reactions between the workpiece and oxygen, water vapor, etc. in the air, thus maintaining the original properties of the workpiece.
Surface Brightness Purification: The vacuum heat treatment furnace can remove phosphorus chips from the surface of the workpiece and has functions such as degreasing and degassing, making the surface of the workpiece brighter and cleaner.
Small deformation: The processed workpiece heats slowly in the furnace, with a small temperature difference and low thermal stress, resulting in small deformation and improved product qualification rate.
Improving mechanical performance and service life: The vacuum heat treatment furnace has a degassing effect, which enhances the mechanical performance and service life of the product.
Good working environment and safe operation: The vacuum heat treatment furnace does not produce pollution or public hazards during operation, ensuring the health and safety of operators.
Preventing hydrogen embrittlement: The processed workpiece has no risk of hydrogen embrittlement, especially suitable for materials such as titanium and refractory metals that are prone to hydrogen embrittlement.
Good process stability and repeatability: The stability and repeatability of vacuum heat treatment process are good, which is conducive to ensuring the consistency of product quality.

In addition, the vacuum heat treatment furnace also has the characteristics of large pumping volume, high vacuum degree, uniform and controllable temperature, and no leakage. It has a wide range of applications and can be used in many fields such as hard alloys, ceramics, stainless steel materials, powder metallurgy, metal injection molding, and vacuum sintering dewaxing.
