This Korean company, which has been aiming at developing high-performance and high-value-added ceramic materials since its establishment, has rapidly occupied a place in the international market by its profound material science foundation and unremitting innovation spirit.

The enterprise focuses on the R&D and application of ceramic-based composite materials, refractory metals, and advanced alloy materials, and its products are widely used in many high-tech fields such as aerospace, electronic information, and new energy.

Facing the increasingly fierce market competition, the enterprise knows the importance of improving production efficiency and product quality, therefore, when seeking for a more efficient and accurate heat treatment solution, it finally chose Brother Furnace's ceramic fiber heat treatment furnace.

Why Did the Customer Choose Brother Furnace?

Ultimate Vacuum

The ultimate vacuum of the ceramic fiber chamber vacuum heat treatment furnace can reach 10Pa (double-stage rotary vane vacuum pump) or 7x10^-2Pa (double-stage rotary vane vacuum pump + diffusion pump).

This excellent performance ensures that the materials are free from oxidation, contamination, and other unfavorable factors during the heat treatment process, which guarantees the purity of the products and stability of the performance. This feature is undoubtedly one of the key factors in choosing a Brother Furnace for the development of demanding ceramic materials.

Precise Temperature Control

Vacuum ceramic fiber sintering furnaces are available with heating temperature options up to 1200°C or 1700°C to meet the heat treatment needs of different materials. Brother Furnace equips it with a programmable temperature control instrument PID regulation system, which realizes precise temperature control and ensures the stability and repeatability of the heat treatment process.

This is of vital importance for the development of new materials and optimization of material properties.

Safe and Efficient

The design of the pneumatic vacuum valve makes the operation easier and faster. Meanwhile, the equipment is equipped with multiple safety protection mechanisms, such as the upper limit alarm, deviation alarm, and automatic stop at the end of program operation, which effectively reduces the operation risk and improves the work efficiency.

In addition, the high-definition touchscreen human-machine interface and self-developed operating system enable the operator to get started easily and realize intelligent management.

Cost Reduction

The combination of alumina ceramic fiber furnace chamber and resistance wire or silicon molybdenum rod heating not only ensures heating efficiency but also greatly reduces energy consumption.

The double water-cooled design ensures that the surface temperature of the furnace shell is controlled at ≤50°C, further enhancing the safety and service life of the equipment. At the same time, the high-strength carbon steel shell and external electrostatic spraying treatment, both aesthetic and durable, to meet the customer for the appearance of the equipment and durability of the double demand.

Customer Feedback: Very Satisfied!

Since this vacuum heat treatment furnace has been put into use, this Korean company has highly evaluated its performance. They said that the introduction of the ceramic fiber chamber vacuum heat treatment furnace has greatly improved the efficiency of research and development and shortened the cycle of new products from the laboratory to the market.

Especially in the key process links of high-temperature vacuum sintering, annealing, tempering, etc., it shows excellent performance and stability, effectively guaranteeing the consistency and reliability of product quality.

In addition, the after-sales service team of Brother Furnace has also won wide praise from customers. From the equipment installation and commissioning to the later maintenance, Brother Furnace provides a full range of professional technical support and service guarantees, to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the equipment.

This customer-centered service concept further deepens the relationship between the two sides and lays a solid foundation for future cooperation.

More Applications of Vacuum Ceramic Fiber Heat Treatment Furnaces

1. Material Sintering

High-end Ceramic Materials

Oxide ceramics: such as alumina, zirconium oxide, etc.. Through high-temperature vacuum sintering can form a dense microstructure, and improve the hardness and wear resistance of the material.

Non-oxide ceramics: such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, etc. These materials are easy to react with oxygen at high temperatures, and the vacuum environment effectively avoids oxidation and ensures sintering quality.

Ceramic matrix composites: this material combines the advantages of ceramics and metals or other materials, and can achieve good interfacial bonding and performance optimization through a vacuum ceramic fiber sintering furnace.

Specialty Alloys and Metals

For special alloys that need to maintain stable properties at high temperatures, such as high-temperature alloy steel, nickel-based alloys, etc., vacuum sintering can reduce oxidation and impurity contamination, and improve the purity and performance of the material.

2. Heat Treatment Process

Annealing and Tempering

The annealing process is used to eliminate the internal stresses generated during the processing of materials and improve the plasticity and toughness of materials. Annealing in a vacuum environment can avoid oxidation and decarburization, to maintain the stability of material properties.

The tempering process, on the other hand, is performed after hardening to adjust the hardness and strength of the material by reheating and cooling it again. The vacuum environment also helps to reduce oxidation and impurity contamination and ensure the tempering effect.

Chemical Heat Treatment

Under the condition of passing appropriate medium (e.g. inert gas, reducing gas, etc.), a vacuum heat treatment furnace can also be used for chemical heat treatment, such as carburizing, nitriding, etc., to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the material.

3. Nanomaterials Preparation

High-Temperature Sintering

In the preparation of nanomaterials, a vacuum ceramic fiber heat treatment furnace can provide a pure and stable sintering environment to ensure that the nanoparticles are not oxidized or contaminated at high temperatures, to obtain high-purity and high-performance nanomaterials.

Atmosphere Control

By precisely controlling the atmosphere in the furnace, it can realize the regulation of the surface properties of nanomaterials, such as changing their chemical composition, surface morphology, etc., to meet the specific application requirements.
