Sealed Quench Furnace
A sealed quench furnace is an industrial furnace that is commonly used for the heat treatment of metal parts. It is designed to create a controlled environment for the heat treatment process, which involves heating the metal parts to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling them to harden them.
The furnace is made up of a sealed chamber that is designed to prevent air and moisture from entering, as this can affect the quality of the heat treatment. Inside the chamber, there is a heating element that is used to raise the temperature of the metal parts to the desired level.
Function
It provides controlled heating and cooling cycles to achieve desired material properties.
Configuration
The furnace has a sealed heating chamber, quenching tank and external cooling system. The heating chamber's high-temperature refractory material allows controlled temperatures and atmospheres.
Features
Sealed quench furnaces have improved temperature, atmosphere, and quenching rate controls. Automated loading and unloading systems can improve efficiency and safety.
Temperature Range
The temperature range of a sealed quench furnace can vary depending on the application.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of a sealed quench furnace can also vary depending on the application.
Capacity
The capacity of a sealed quench furnace can range from small units to large industrial-scale systems, depending on the application.
Heat Source
The heating sources are electric-fired or gas-fired burners.
Power Requirement
The power requirements for the furnace depend on the required technical parameters.
Atmosphere
To prevent oxidation and facilitate consistent heating and quenching, the furnace uses a regulated environment of nitrogen or nitrogen and endothermic gas.
