What is Vacuum Furnaces?

Vacuum furnaces offer a number of benefits over traditional furnaces, chief among them being the ability to operate at much higher temperatures. This allows for a number of industrial and metallurgical processes that simply cannot be carried out using traditional furnaces. In addition, vacuum furnaces offer a number of other advantages. https://thermic-edge.de/en/home/vacuum-products/vacuum-furnaces/

  2. What is Vacuum Furnaces? A vacuum furnace is a type of furnace that can operate at very high temperatures and pressures, and can be used for a variety of different applications. One of the most common uses for a vacuum furnace is in the manufacturing process of semiconductors. In this process, a silicon wafer is placed in the furnace and heated to extremely high temperatures. The high temperatures and pressures allow for the atoms in the silicon to rearrange themselves, which creates the desired semiconductor material. www.thermic-edge.de

  3. Application Of Vacuum Furnaces Vacuum furnaces are used in a variety of applications, including heat treating, brazing, annealing, and sintering. Heat treating is a process that alters the microstructure of a material to achieve desired properties, such as increased hardness or improved ductility. Brazing is a process in which two pieces of metal are joined together by melting a filler metal at a temperature below the melting point of the base metal. Annealing is a process in which a material is heated to a temperature above its melting point and then cooled to alter its properties, such as increasing its ductility. Sintering is a process in which a material is heated to a temperature below its melting point and then cooled to create a strong bond. www.thermic-edge.de

  4. What Types Of Heating Elements Are Used In A Vacuum Furnace? There are two main types of heating elements used in vacuum furnaces: resistive and electron beam. Resistive heating elements are typically made of tungsten or molybdenum wires. They work by passing an electric current through the wire, which then heats up and emits thermal radiation. Electron beam heating elements work by firing a beam of electrons at the object being heated. The electrons collide with the atoms in the object, causing them to heat up. This type of heating element is often used for high-temperature applications. www.thermic-edge.de

  5. Benefits of Vacuum Furnaces: Vacuum furnaces offer a number of benefits over traditional furnaces, chief among them being the ability to operate at much higher temperatures. This allows for a number of industrial and metallurgical processes that simply cannot be carried out using traditional furnaces. In addition, vacuum furnaces offer a number of other advantages. They are much more efficient than traditional furnaces, meaning that they use less energy and generate less pollution. They are also much cleaner, since there is no air or other atmospheric contaminants present in the chamber. This makes them ideal for a number of sensitive applications. www.thermic-edge.de
