A vacuum sintering furnace uses induction heating to perform protective sintering of materials. Types include low-frequency (power-frequency), medium-frequency, and high-frequency induction furnaces. Medium-frequency vacuum induction sintering furnaces are commonly used for hard alloy tools, metal powders, and ceramics, designed for industrial production of hard alloys, metal dysprosium, and ceramics.
I. Daily Use Tips for Vacuum Sintering Furnace
- Inspect the control cabinet – Ensure all components and accessories are complete and in good condition.
- Secure installation – Mount the control cabinet on the foundation and fix it properly.
- Electrical connections – Connect the main and control circuits according to wiring diagrams; ensure proper grounding.
- Check movable electrical parts – All moving parts should operate smoothly without jamming.
- Insulation resistance – Must be no less than 2 MΩ.
- Valve positions – All valves on the vacuum furnace should be closed.
- Power switch – Set the control power switch to the “OFF” position before operation.
- Manual voltage adjustment – Turn the manual voltage adjustment knob counterclockwise.
- Alarm button – Set to the “ON” position.
- Cooling water connections – Connect circulating cooling water according to layout diagrams. It is recommended to have an auxiliary water supply (tap water) to prevent seal damage due to cooling failure or power outage.
II. Features of Vacuum Sintering Furnace
- Integrated compact design – Attractive appearance, tight structure, equipped with wheels for easy relocation.
- Bottom electric lift – Smooth, precise movement for convenient loading/unloading.
- Touchscreen control – High automation, intuitive operation, strong functionality.
- Pre-stored sintering programs – Dozens of processes can be saved and recalled, avoiding repeated entry errors and product damage.
- Data recording – Real-time monitoring of sintering temperature, vacuum, etc., with the ability to start/stop recording, export, and query data.
These daily practices and features help ensure safe, efficient operation and protect the equipment while improving product quality.
