Vacuum Tempering Furnace

Vacuum Tempering Furnace

The vacuum tempering furnace is a device used to temper quenched workpieces in a vacuum environment. It prevents oxidation and decarburization, eliminates internal stresses, and adjusts hardness and toughness. It is suitable for mold steels and stainless steels. It is widely used in aerospace, precision manufacturing, and other fields. Tempering is often used in conjunction with quenching processes.

Structural features of
Vacuum Tempering Furnace

Starting from the internal structure, we show you the unique design logic of vacuum tempering furnace products:

  • Chamber and heating

    Chamber and heating

    The heating chamber consists of graphite heating body, graphite soft felt and hard felt.

    The heat field can also be heated by high-temperature molybdenum strips and the chamber can be heated by molybdenum foil heat insulation screens, which are free of volatilization, impurities and pollution.

  • Air cooling system

    Air cooling system

    The rear part of the chamber body consists of a high-pressure impeller converter, a multi-stage copper heat exchanger and a high-efficiency air duct guide device.

    During air cooling, high-purity nitrogen or argon is introduced. Driven by the high-speed impeller blower, the gas is drawn into the impeller through the high-efficiency copper heat exchanger. After being deflected by the impeller, it is sprayed from the graphite nozzle toward the workpiece through the air duct guide device, ensuring uniform forced cooling of the workpiece.

  • Appearance design

    Appearance design

    The material table is composed of graphite pillars, graphite hearth, and Al2O3 spacers on the hearth. This structure can prevent the material tray and graphite hearth from sticking together at high temperatures.

  • Control system

    Control system

    PLC automatic control system, the human-machine interface adopts high-definition touch screen, and has a built-in operating system developed by us.Programmable temperature control instrument PID adjustment.

FAQ

Focus on answering common questions to provide users with clear and practical usage guidelines:

  • Q:Does the workpiece require any further processing after vacuum tempering?

    A:Typically, no additional cleaning is required (no scale or oil stains). If surface finish adjustment is required, light polishing may be performed. Important components require testing for properties such as hardness and internal stress.

  • Q:Can tempering be used in conjunction with quenching?

    A:Yes, and this is a common combination. After quenching, the workpiece can be directly tempered to avoid exposure to air and oxidation, ensuring the continuity and stability of the heat treatment process. For example, Bona Thermal's vacuum quenching furnace can simultaneously handle quenching, tempering, and annealing processes.
