The principle and structure of high-temperature box furnace
The high-temperature box furnace mainly consists of the following parts:
Furnace body: usually made of high-temperature resistant materials (such as ceramic fibers or refractory bricks) to ensure uniform and stable temperature inside the furnace.
Heating element: located on the inner wall of the furnace, commonly used materials include resistance wires (such as crucible heaters) or silicon carbon rods, and suitable heating elements are selected according to different temperature requirements.
Temperature control system: including temperature sensors (such as thermocouples), temperature controllers, and control panels. Modern high-temperature box furnaces are usually equipped with precise PID temperature control systems to achieve precise temperature control.
Atmosphere control system: Some high-temperature box furnaces are equipped with atmosphere control devices, which can perform heat treatment in specific atmospheres (such as inert gas, oxygen, or vacuum) to prevent material oxidation or promote specific reactions.

Application instance:
Material synthesis and preparation: High temperature box furnaces are widely used for synthesizing new materials, such as ceramics, metal oxides, and high-temperature superconductors. By controlling temperature and time, materials with specific structures and properties can be obtained.
Annealing and sintering: In the processing of metal and ceramic materials, annealing and sintering are important heat treatment steps. Annealing can eliminate the internal stress of materials and improve their toughness; Sintering is used to densify materials, improving their strength and hardness.
Heat treatment research: used to study the phase transition behavior, diffusion mechanism, and microstructure changes of different materials under high temperature conditions. By precisely controlling temperature and atmosphere, industrial heat treatment processes can be simulated to optimize material properties.
Powder metallurgy: In powder metallurgy technology, high-temperature box furnaces are used for powder sintering and material densification to prepare metal components with complex shapes and excellent properties.
