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 …
The fundamentals of all furnaces are the same, they aim to heat their contents. Many processes and manufacturing areas require thermal procedures that need industrial furnaces. However, the way these furnaces work can vary greatly between different types of furnaces. Continuous and batch furnaces both have a place in the manufacturing process. This article will …
Laboratory furnaces offer constant conditions for processing materials and samples. They are usually built from refractory materials to sustain high temperatures without breaking down. Laboratories are often set up to function for months at a time to finish processing. Key considerations for laboratory furnaces are general specifications, tube furnace features, control, and atmosphere. Laboratory furnaces …

They are lighter in weight and more compact, requiring a smaller footprint. A newfeature, a top plug provides convenient access to the furnace interior. Horizontal tube furnaces are useful for …
Resistance heated batch furnaces are a form of electrical furnace which use heat that is generated by conductors, providing resistance to the movement of a current through them. Resistance heated batch furnaces are used extensively in heat treatment for heating before pressure shaping and for melting or drying materials. This article will outline some of …
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Producing a custom furnace to meet exact specifications and requirements can be extremely beneficial for a range of applications. Many industries have exacting needs for their furnaces due to the processes they carry out or the materials that they use. This article will outline the benefits and considerations of creating a custom furnace. Why Use …
Rocking motion furnaces have been in use for many years, over time the applications have increased for both melting and processing as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. Additionally, certain chemical and other operations on both metallic and non-metallic materials have found using rocking motion ovens advantageous. How do Rocking Motion Ovens …
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 …
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thermal processes generate various particulates and gases which may be harmful to technicians in the working environment. Furnace exhaust systems are used to vent these by-products from the heating chamber to the outside air. Typically, this is done continuously while the furnace is operational to maintain an optimal working atmosphere, and throughout any programmed cooling …
Glass melt furnaces used in environmental research This photo of a researcher pouring glass that was melted in a Deltech glass melt furnace appears on the homepage for the Alfred University Center for Glass Innovation. According to the information posted there, the Center was established at the New York State College of Ceramics to “develop …
