sintering

Our small top loading sintering furnace is a popular choice for small batch processing. This furnace has a standard hot zone of 4″ diammeter by 8″ high with many other sizes available. This furnace has a maximum temperature of 2500°C with a tungsten hot zone, 2100°C with a tantalum hot zone, and 1650°C for molybdenum. The hot zone provides excellent temperature uniformity and longevity. This furnace comes equipped with an intuitive HMI control package providing features such as automated runs, process overviews, data-acquisition, alarms, unlimited recipe profiles for temperature control, user security, etc. Classic push-buttons and discrete controllers are also available. Specifications General specifications: Operating pressure: 1×10-7 Torr (mbar) to 2 P.S.I.G. (0.14 bar) Excellent temperature uniformity 4″ diameter x 8″ high (101 mm x 203 mm) standard, other hot zone sizes available HMI control system with data-acquisition Ergonomic space-saving design TC and/or pyrometer temperature control Turbo or diffusion pumping system Details CHAMBER AND HOT ZONE The standard hot zone material choice for sintering applications is tungsten (2500°C maximum) or tantalum (2100°C maximum). Molybdenum and graphite hot zones are also available. Layered heat shields surround the load and heating element to reduce power loss. The specimens or parts rest on a removable load assembly. The load assembly is manufactured from the hot zone material when material compatibility is a concern. The top loading hot zone chamber is cylindrical in shape and is manufactured from double-walled stainless steel. The entire chamber is welded and polished for vacuum integrity and appearance.
