Description

The muffle furnace is a universal heating equipment, which can be divided into box furnace, tube furnace and crucible furnace according to its appearance.

The muffle furnace is a cyclic operation type. It is used for the element analysis and determination of laboratories, industrial and mining enterprises, and scientific research units and for heating during the quenching, annealing and tempering of general small steel parts. The high-temperature muffle furnace can also be used for the sintering, dissolution, analysis and other high temperature heating of metals and ceramics.

Working Principle

The working principle of the box-type high-temperature sintering furnace (SX2 series): After the temperature measuring element thermocouple converts the temperature into an electrical signal (voltage), it is connected to the microcomputer temperature controller. The temperature controller compares this signal with the programmed value, and then the microcomputer generates a control signal that reflects the temperature change of the furnace after calculating the difference, the positive and negative values, and the time. Use this signal to drive electrical components (power modules, solid-state relays, AC contactors, etc.) to achieve the purpose of controlling the furnace temperature. The high-precision PID program is used to automatically control the entire process and digitally display the furnace temperature and process information.

According to the different heating elements used, three temperature ranges are reached, namely 1200℃ 1400℃, and 1700℃. At 1200℃, molybdenum-containing resistance wires are used as heating elements. At 1400℃, silicon carbide rods are used as heating elements. At 1700℃, silicon molybdenum rods are used as heating elements.

Installation Precautions

1. Do not place it on an uneven or vibrating site, otherwise it will easily cause the equipment to be unstable and tip over.
2. Do not put flammable and explosive materials near the furnace body, otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
3. Do not drop screws, gaskets and other metal objects into the equipment, otherwise it may cause a short circuit or fire in the equipment.
4. Do not place it in a place where water is easy to splash. If water enters the product body, it may cause fire and electric shock.
5. The equipment should be installed in an environment where there is no gas or steam that is conductive, dust-free, and does not damage the insulation performance.
6. The place of placement should be a place with air circulation, no vibration, no impact, and no high dust.

Safe Operation and Maintenance

1. Because the refractory contains moisture, and in order to generate an oxide layer on the heating element, when the muffle furnace is used for the first time or is not used for a long time, it must be heated and dried in an oven to prevent the furnace from cracking due to the rapid temperature changes after being damp. The specific operation is: open the oven door and bake for 2-3h at 20～200℃, and close the door for 2-3h at 200～600℃.
2. The furnace temperature should not exceed the rated temperature, so as not to damage the heating elements and the furnace. It is forbidden to directly pour liquid or molten metal into the furnace. Frequently remove the metal and oxidation residues in the furnace to keep the furnace clean.
3. Please lock the furnace door before heating. It is not recommended to open the furnace door when the temperature in the furnace is greater than 400℃;
4. Regularly check whether each electrical connection part of the temperature control system is in good contact, especially the connection of each connection point of the heating element;
5. Recommended heating rate: <1000℃, 10℃/min; 1000-1500℃, not exceeding 5℃/min; after 1500℃, not exceeding 2℃/min, otherwise the furnace and heating elements will be damaged.
6. When the equipment is cooling down, please use the program to cool down and set the cooling program. It is not recommended to directly “stop” to cool down. For a high-temperature furnace of 1800℃, the cooling rate is recommended not to exceed 3℃/min, otherwise the furnace will be damaged. Please do not turn off the power of the device if the temperature of the device is above 500℃ to prevent safety problems.
7. After several cycles of heating, the insulating material in the furnace may crack. This is caused by thermal expansion and has no effect on the quality of the furnace.
8. The equipment must be reliably grounded when connected to the power source, otherwise there is a danger of electric shock.
9. The power supply of the equipment must be connected to the corresponding air switch.

Maintenance Precautions

Note: After the power is supplied, you should hear the “wheezing” sound of the cooling fan. If there is no such sound, immediately stop the machine and check and replace the cooling fan. Fan specifications: Axial fan AC220v/120×120mm.

When the furnace is used for the first time or left unused for a long time, or the working environment is relatively humid, the furnace chamber of electric furnace should be dried first to avoid cracks in the furnace, which will affect the heat preservation effect. Open the oven door and bake for 2-3h at 20～200℃, and close the door for 2-3h at 200～600℃.

1. When the furnace is in use, the input power must not exceed the rated power, and the furnace temperature must not exceed the rated temperature, so as not to damage the heating element and the furnace lining. It is forbidden to directly pour various liquids and dissolved metals into the furnace, and keep the furnace tube clean.
2. The heating rate of each temperature zone is not easy to be too different. When setting the heating rate, the physical and chemical properties of the sintered material should be fully considered to avoid the phenomenon of material spraying and polluting the furnace.
3. Regularly check whether the electrical connection part of the temperature control system is in good contact.
4. This furnace is suitable for the following working conditions:

(1) The ambient temperature is between -10 and 75℃.

(2) The relative humidity of the surrounding environment does not exceed 85%.

(3) There is no conductive dust, explosive gas or corrosive gas that can seriously damage metals and insulating materials around the furnace.

(4) There is no obvious tilt, vibration and bumps.
