CEMENTED CARBIDE SINTERING FURNACE
Product Introduction
CX-HSF series sintering furnaces operate with rough vacuum and protective gases such as Argon and Nitrogen. CX-HSF series can operate in an oxygen atmosphere due to graphite crucible and graphite insulation used inside furnace.
The horizontal design with double doors at front and back of the furnace, allows for easy loading and unloading. Three different sizes of this furnace are available in CX-Induction and other sizes can be customized according to client requirements.
CX-HSF series use medium frequency induction heating method. A water cooled induction coil installed inside the furnace. At the center of the coil, there is a graphite crucible as the susceptor for induction current, surrounded by carbon felt as the insulation material.
With maximum temperatures up to 1550 ¡ãC and fast cooling (quenching) system, CX-HSF series are suited for a range of sintering and heat treatment processes.
Applications
CX-HSF series sintering furnaces are batch-type induction heating furnaces which are mainly used for sintering process of cemented carbides, tungsten heavy alloys, stainless steel products, high-temperature alloys, magnetic materials, ceramic powder products, and Carbides etc.
Features
General Features
? The furnace is horizontal type with single chamber. The shell and door are water-cooled jacketed. The outer layer of the furnace shell is made of carbon steel while the inner layer is made of SUS304 stainless steel. The inner stainless steel wall features long time uses without rusting as well as less adsorption of induction eddy currents in comparison to plain carbon steel.
? Easy access to all hot zone space via double doors at front and back of the furnace. Manual clamping for doors sealing.
? Induction coil covered by high quality alumina coating in order to avoid short circuit between coil and carbon felt.
? High vacuum pneumatic valves equipped with position indicator in order to automatic control of the vacuum and gas system.
? Use of two sets of gas rotameters in order to control gas flow into the furnace.
? Equipped with pressure transducer in order to monitor pressure level inside the chamber. In case of overpressure, a relief valve will adjust the pressure inside the chamber.
? Fast gas cooling (quenching) accessories include motor, impeller fan, build-in heat sink and ventilator door in heat shield
Optional Features
? High vacuum system to achieve 10-5 mbar vacuum level
? Dewaxing-Sintering processes in one furnace: Dewaxing system including downward gas stream, hot pipeline with temperature control of pipeline to avoid wax condensation in pipes, condenser for trapping of waxes.
? Gas Purification System
? Cooling Water System
? Distributed Control System (DCS)
? Double chambers (with only one control cabinet for two chambers)
? Vertical top loading or bottom loading design
