1. Clearly define production needs and objectives
Material type: Consider the type of material that needs to be sintered, such as metal, ceramic, etc., as well as the shape and size of the material.
Batch size: Determine the batch size for each sintering based on the production scale.
Sintering temperature: Determine the required sintering temperature range, and the heating temperature of a vacuum sintering electric furnace is generally between 1000~2200 ℃.
Sintering atmosphere: Consider whether special atmosphere control is needed, such as inert gas, nitrogen, etc.

2. Choose the appropriate heating method and furnace type
Heating method: Electric sintering furnace has the advantages of high energy utilization and good environmental performance, and is suitable for sintering with small batch and high-precision requirements.
Furnace type selection:
Box type sintering furnace: simple structure, easy operation, suitable for sintering various materials.
Tube sintering furnace: suitable for sintering slender rod-shaped or tubular materials.
Bell type sintering furnace: suitable for large-scale and continuous production.

3. Pay attention to the performance of the vacuum system
Vacuum degree: Choosing equipment with high vacuum degree can ensure the quality and performance of sintered materials. The ultimate vacuum degree and leakage rate are related to the sealing of the furnace.
Vacuum extraction time: The time it takes to reach the ultimate vacuum is related to the quality of the mechanical pump and Roots pump. The time for the vacuum sintering furnace to reach the vacuum degree should not be too long.

4. Control system and degree of automation
Control system: Modern vacuum sintering furnaces are usually equipped with good control systems, which can achieve precise control and real-time monitoring of process parameters such as temperature and vacuum degree.
Automation level: Choosing equipment with high automation level can improve production efficiency and reduce manual operation errors. The control system should have data recording and traceability functions to analyze and optimize the production process.

5. Auxiliary devices and safety measures
Auxiliary devices: Based on actual needs, consider whether it is necessary to equip some auxiliary devices, such as atmosphere control devices, cooling systems, etc. These devices can further enhance the performance and adaptability of the equipment.
Security measures: Choose equipment with comprehensive security protection functions to ensure the safety of operators and the stable operation of equipment.

6. Consider the manufacturer and after-sales service
Professional level and technical strength: Choose manufacturers with good reputation and after-sales service to ensure the quality and long-term stable operation of equipment, and provide timely technical support and training.
After sales service: Ensure that the manufacturer can provide comprehensive after-sales service, including equipment installation, debugging, maintenance, etc.
