Tubular furnace

annealingoxidationgas

This furnace has been specifically designed for oxidizing wire to work in conjunction with our wire annealing furnaces. The furnace has up to twelve open ended tubes to feed wires and features a gas system that allows control of the wire tube atmosphere. A unique temperature gradient is created by three independently controlled hot zones and water cooled entrance and exit tunnels. The tunnel outer flanges adapt to a wire feed system. General specifications: Specifically designed to complement our wire annealing furnaces 3 separate zones for custom temperature gradient Twelve open ended wire feeding tubes Gas system to control tube atmosphere Encapsulated Ni-Cr heaters with ceramic shields End flanges adapt to a wire feed & pick-up system Chamber and Hot zone The chamber is designed to accommodate up to twelve feeding wires. The wires pass first through stainless steel guide tubes located on the right. After exiting this zone the wire will move into the 1200°C (2200°F) maximum temperature heated section. The heated section consists of three separately controlled heating zones with their own controls and sensors, allowing for a custom and unique temperature gradient. Once the wire has passed through this temperature zone, the wire exits the cooling zone at the left. The furnace chamber is horizontally split and hinged for access to the heating elements and shielding. The Hot Zone is a round design using encapsulated Ni-Cr wire heating elements and ceramic insulation. The usable hot zone is 6″ ID X 36.0″ long (other sizes available) and is designed to easily reach a temperature of 1200°C.
