Furnace type and size: Select the appropriate furnace type (such as box type, tube type, continuous type, etc.) and size according to specific application requirements. Consider the size and batch size of the sample to ensure that the furnace can accommodate and effectively heat the materials to be processed.

Maximum working temperature: Confirm the maximum working temperature range of the atmosphere furnace. Different materials and processes require different temperature levels to ensure that the highest temperature of the atmosphere furnace can meet processing requirements.

Atmosphere control: Check if the atmosphere furnace can accurately control different gas environments (such as nitrogen, oxygen, inert gases, etc.). Understand whether the furnace is equipped with an atmosphere control system and gas flow control device to ensure the stability and uniformity of the atmosphere during the processing.

Heating elements and heating methods: Understand the types of heating elements (such as resistance wires, silicon carbon rods, molybdenum wires, etc.) and heating methods (such as direct heating, indirect heating) of the atmosphere furnace. Different heating elements and methods have different impacts on temperature control, thermal efficiency, and maintenance requirements.

Temperature uniformity and control accuracy: Ensure that the atmosphere furnace has good temperature uniformity and a high-precision temperature control system. A uniform temperature distribution and precise temperature control are crucial for achieving consistent processing results.

Furnace material and structure: Check the high-temperature and corrosion resistance of the furnace material to ensure stable operation for a long time. Understand whether the structural design of the furnace is easy to maintain and clean.

Automation level: Due to the high sealing requirements of the atmosphere furnace and the complex operation process of loading and discharging, the equipment is required to have a high degree of mechanization and automation. When choosing, you can pay attention to whether the device has advanced functions such as an automated control system and intelligent operation interface.

Safety performance: There may be safety risks during the operation of the atmosphere furnace, so safety protection measures are crucial. When purchasing, it is necessary to ensure that the equipment has necessary safety protection measures such as overheating protection and leakage protection, and understand the safety training requirements for operators.

Control System: Understand whether the control system of the atmosphere furnace is easy to operate, and whether it supports programming and remote monitoring functions for easy operation and management.

Brand and after-sales service: Choose a reputable brand and understand their after-sales service and technical support situation. Good after-sales service can ensure timely maintenance and support of equipment during use.

Cost and budget: Taking into account the purchase cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost of the atmosphere furnace, ensure the selection of appropriate equipment within the budget range.
