Sintering furnace is an important industrial equipment mainly used for the sintering process of powder compacts to obtain the required physical, mechanical properties, and microstructure. So what are the types of sintering furnaces? Let's take a look below!
Muffle Furnaces
Features: It has a closed furnace and is usually used for high-temperature sintering. The heating elements inside the furnace (such as resistance wires, silicon carbide rods, etc.) are arranged around the furnace.
Application: Used for sintering ceramics and metal powders, as well as heat treatment of materials and laboratory research.

Atmosphere Sintering Furnace
Features: Sintering can be carried out in a controlled atmosphere environment, such as nitrogen, hydrogen, inert gases, etc., to prevent oxidation and impurity pollution.
Application: Used for sintering special ceramics, metal powders, and composite materials.

Tube Furnace
Features: Heating elements are arranged around the tube, and the sample is placed inside the tube. It can control the atmosphere and is suitable for sintering processes that require specific gas environments.
Application: Used for material research, powder metallurgy, sintering and synthesis of semiconductor materials.

Continuous Sintering Furnace
Features: The sample moves continuously in the furnace, suitable for large-scale production. Usually equipped with a conveyor belt or push rod system.
Application: Used for large-scale production of ceramic components, metal parts, and magnetic materials.
Vacuum Sintering Furnace
Features: Sintering in a vacuum environment to avoid oxidation and gas pollution. Usually equipped with a high vacuum pump and atmosphere control system.
Application: Used for sintering high-performance materials, hard alloys, and magnetic materials, especially suitable for materials that require high purity and fine structure.
