aboutWhat is an atmosphere gas furnace?

Oxidation and decarburization occur during heat treatment in the air, so additional processing may be required. To avoid this, gastight atmosphere gas furnaces are often used to perform heat treatment by filling the atmosphere with gas, depending on the application, to prevent post-processing and reduce oxidation and decarburization of the products. The range of gases used can be from inert gases (Nitrogen, Argon) to hydrogen and AX gas, depending on the properties of the products and the purpose of heat treatment.
Sun Furnace Co., Ltd. a manufacturer of gastight atmosphere gas furnaces, can provide custom-made furnaces to meet customer requirements.

featureFeatures

Features01

High gas tightness shall be achieved through a self-developed seal structure.

The specially designed structure prevents air infiltration into the furnace and gas extrusion from it. This seal structure can also handle special atmospheric gases.

a self-developed seal structure
Features02

Cost reduction can be achieved by reusing exhaust gas energy for preheating.

The atmosphere gas used in the furnace can be used to preheat the product, avoiding waste of heat. This results in energy savings through preheating of the product from room temperature.

Cost reduction
Features03

Total support including after sales follow-up

Sun Furnace Co., Ltd. can offer total support for design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Sun Furnace Co., Ltd. also select high-quality equipment such as heaters and thermocouples that can be used for a long time.

problemWe have solved challenges like these:

We use a furnace that generates CO gas, which can pose risks during maintenance.
We need to replace the mixing fan shaft frequently due to wear, which causes gas leakage.
There is limited contact between the powder and reaction gas, resulting in longer processing times.
