5 Types of Laboratory Furnace

Laboratory furnaces offer continuous heating to samples and materials in a laboratory setting. They are usually built using high-temperature refractory materials so they can sustain high temperatures without breaking down. Laboratory furnaces are often set to function for extended periods, even up to months at a time to complete a processing cycle. This article will […]

What is an Inert Atmosphere Furnace

Inert atmosphere furnaces are devices purpose-built for heat-treating applications that need inert atmosphere protection. This protection means that the work is not subject to oxidation. This article will explain in more detail what an inert atmosphere furnace is and how it is used.   What is an Inert Atmosphere   Inert means chemically inactive, so […]

What is a non-continuous furnace?

Many industrial processes require non-continuous heat treatment. Optimal treatment conditions are easier to recreate in closed systems such as non-continuous furnaces. Some industrial applications require inert or vacuum conditions to maintain impermeability. Non-continuous furnaces are ideal for these applications because they are closed process machines. Non-continuous furnaces are best utilized for parts that are unique […]
