Vacuum Quench Furnace
Vacuum quenching furnace is a kind of device which is commonly used for heat treatment. It is extensively used for various steel quenching, and adjacent metal heating, according to the different metal materials to select an appropriate vacuum quenching furnace.
Vacuum quenching furnace has a wide range of applications, in metal materials heat treatment industry, vacuum quenching furnace is even more widely used. The metal materials need to be processed with the help of this furnace include high-speed steel, structure steel, tool steel, stainless steel and so on.
Vacuum quenching furnace is usually used for gas quenching, hot bending and hydrogen reduction quenching in various metal treatment enterprises.
The vacuum quenching furnace consists of a number of main parts, which are the crucible (hot zone), the heaters and the scrap collector.
The crucible is the core of the furnace. It is a kind of metal container, nice and deep enough to hold a reasonable amount of metal material in, so that the quenching temperature can be applied evenly to the metal, if necessary, a lid or a bottom can also be installed to provide reasonable air tightness to the container.
Heaters are an essential part of the furnace. During the service of the furnace, it requires more electrical energy to provide the necessary temperature. Hence, the heater must have good temperature resistance, so as to provide good temperature uniformity.
The scrap collector is also an important part of the furnace. It is set close to the entrance, which can absorb the impurities and dust in the air to reduce the pollution during the work of the furnace.
The vacuum quenching furnace has been proved to be quite efficient and reliable in many heat treatment applications. It is the first choice for many metal companies, because it provides high quenching speed and uniform temperature. Its heat conservation ability is also improved, and is unlikely to cause the metal to wear and tear.
On the whole, vacuum quenching furnace is a great invention in the history of metal processing. It has been used to effectively and reliably quenching metals for decades, and continues to be a great help for many metal companies. With the development of technology, there are several models of vacuum quenching furnace available in the market and thus providing more options for metal quenching.
