The SK2 series vacuum tube-type high temperature sintering furnace integrates the control system and the furnace chamber. The furnace lining uses vacuum formed high-purity alumina ceramic fiber material, and uses resistance wire / silicon carbide rod / silicon molybdenum rod as the heating element. The furnace tube traverses the middle of the furnace body as the furnace chamber. The two ends of the furnace tube are sealed with stainless steel flanges. The workpiece sample is heated in the furnace tube. The heating element is parallel to the furnace tube and is evenly distributed outside the furnace tube to effectively ensure the uniformity of the temperature field. Thermocouples (K/S/B type) with stable performance and long service life are used for temperature measurement to improve the accuracy of temperature control. It is a special equipment specially developed for the sintering, melting and analysis of metals, non-metals and other compound materials in the atmosphere or vacuum state by universities, scientific research institutes and industrial and mining enterprises.
The control panel of the furnace body has an intelligent temperature regulator, which controls the power switch, the main heating work/stop button, and is equipped with power and insurance indicator lights, voltage and current instructions, so as to observe the working status of the system at any time.

Maintenance Considerations
- After the furnace is used for the first time or not used for a long time, it should be baked at about 120℃ for 1 hour, and used at about 300℃ for 2 hours to avoid cracking the furnacechamber. The furnace temperature should not exceed the rated temperature to avoid damage to the heating element and furnace lining. It is forbidden to directly pour various liquids and dissolved metals into the furnace chamber to keep the furnace clean.
- If the corundum furnace tube is used in the furnacechamber, according to the physical properties of the corundum material, the temperature rise and fall rate of each temperature zone should not be too fast (≤5℃), and it is strictly forbidden to take the material above 100℃ in the furnace tube. It is conducive to the uniform release of the thermal stress of the furnace tube to extend the service life of the furnace tube.
- If the furnace body uses silicon-molybdenum rods as heating elements, according to the physical characteristics of silicon-molybdenum rods, it is very brittle at room temperature. Therefore, the furnace body cannot be disassembled and moved at will after the heating elements are installed. It is not advisable to run for a long time in the temperature range of 400-700℃, otherwise the silicon molybdenum rod will undergo low-temperature oxidation, which will cause component damage.
- If the furnace body uses silicon carbide rods as heating elements, the resistance will gradually increase after long-term operation. This phenomenon is called “aging”. After the furnace has been running for a period of time, due to the aging of the silicon carbide rods, the heating rate and ideal temperature of the furnace will not reach the original values. Please adjust the OPH value appropriately and observe that the main current of the ammeter is at an appropriate level. When individual components are damaged due to some reasons and need to be replaced, the components with suitable resistance value should be selected according to the increase of the resistance value of other original components at that time, and new components cannot be replaced at will. If the components are damaged or the resistance value increases too much, it is best to replace them with new components when the required furnace temperature cannot be reached.
- When the cold furnace is used, since the furnace chamber is cold and must absorb a lot of heat, the temperature rise rate in the low temperature section is not easy to be too fast, and the difference in the temperature rise rate of each temperature section is not too large. When setting the temperature rise rate, full consideration should be given to the physicochemical property of the sintered material, so as to avoid the phenomenon of spraying and polluting the furnace tube.
- Regularly check whether the electrical connection part of the temperature control system is in good contact, and special attention should be paid to whether the connection of each connection point of the heating element is tight.
- After the furnace has been used for a period of time, if the vacuum level decreases, the temperature-resistant silicone ring between the stainless steel flanges can be replaced or the stainless steel flanges can be reinstalled or the vacuum system can be replaced and repaired to improve the overall vacuum of the system.
- The temperature of the furnace is generally around 300℃ during the working process. If the control deviation cannot be eliminated, the temperature display value does not match the program setting value or the swing is too large, please check whether the parameter “M5, P, t” is set accurately.
- Using B-type high temperature dual platinum rhodium (30%-6%) thermocouple, the measuring accuracy of the meter is 0.5 grade at 0-600℃, and 0.2 grade can be guaranteed at 600-1700℃. The measurement accuracy of S-type single platinum rhodium thermocouple can be guaranteed to 0.2grade.
- 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.
- If the actual control of each furnace body does not match the picture in the manual, the actual product shall prevail, but the control operation method is the same.
Common Faults and Solutions
| Failures | Causes | Solutions |
| Turn on the control power switch LOCK, but no power indication | The fuse of control line FU1 is broken | Check whether there is short circuit, and replace the fuse after elimination |
| Meter SV alternately displays Oral | Thermocouple breaks | Replace the thermocouple |
| Meter SV alternately displays HIAL | The furnace body exceeds the upper limit temperature | When the temperature drops to the safe temperature, the meter automatically returns to normal (check the cause of overtemperature) |
| The power supply is normal but the furnace body is not working | Meter parameters are incorrectly modified | Change to the correct parameter |
| Power supply and heating elements are normal, but the furnace body can not heat up | The control circuit is damaged | Inform professional maintenance personnel |
| The temperature displayed by the meter is not consistent with the temperature of the lofting area, resulting in positive or negative deviation | The deviation of the temperature measurement point and the position of the stakeout point, or the deviation of the resistance value of the heating element in the microscopic view, is a normal phenomenon | Correct the lofting position, or notify the maintenance personnel to manually correct |
