Open Crucible Laboratory Furnace 1200°C BF-1200-2H

This furnace requires confirmation of temperature class, usable process size, gas/vacuum package, and power supply before operation. The equipment is designed for high-temperature vertical quenching in vacuum or atmosphere using ice water or oil as quench medium.

• Temperature Class Confirmation: Verify the furnace's temperature rating and process compatibility before use.
• Power Supply Configuration: Ensure the electrical supply meets the rated 8 kW, 220 V requirement.
• Gas/Vacuum Package Setup: Confirm the gas and vacuum connections are properly sealed and leak-free.
• Quench Medium Compatibility: Select ice water or oil as quench medium based on sample material and desired cooling rate.
• Sample Handling Procedure: Use appropriate tools to transfer samples from the furnace to the quench tank to avoid thermal shock and injury.

This procedure guides the user through the safe operation of the furnace for high-temperature quenching. Follow each step sequentially to ensure proper thermal treatment and sample integrity.

Required Equipment: Open Crucible Furnace (BF-1200-2H), Integrated Sealed Liquid Storage Tank, Vacuum and Gas Supply System

1. Setup and Verification
   Confirm the furnace is installed on a stable, non-flammable surface and connected to the correct power supply and gas/vacuum lines.
2. Preheating
   Preheat the furnace to the desired temperature while ensuring the atmosphere or vacuum condition is established.
3. Sample Loading
   Place the sample in the crucible and position it inside the furnace using appropriate handling tools.
4. Heating and Dwell
   Heat the sample to the target temperature and hold for the required dwell time.
5. Quenching
   Transfer the sample from the furnace to the quench tank containing ice water or oil, using a quenching basket or tongs.
6. Cooling and Removal
   Allow the quenched sample to cool completely before removing it from the quench medium.

The Atomfair 1200°C Open Crucible Furnace is a vertical vacuum quenching furnace with a sealed liquid storage tank, enabling controlled heating and quenching of samples in vacuum or atmosphere from up to 1400°C into ice water or oil. It is designed for calcination, sintering, annealing, and heat treatment, but requires careful specification of chamber size, gas/vacuum package, and power supply before quotation.

Positive

• Vertical vacuum quenching with liquid storage: The sealed liquid storage tank allows quenching in vacuum or atmosphere directly from high temperature (up to 1400°C) into ice water or oil, significantly reducing oxidation and deformation of metal samples.
• Rated power and voltage specified: The furnace is rated at 8 kW with AC 220V 50/60Hz, providing a clear electrical requirement for laboratory infrastructure planning.

Trade-offs

• Pre-quotation configuration required: The furnace is not a standard off-the-shelf unit; temperature class, usable process size, heating-zone layout, gas/vacuum package, power supply, and accessories must be confirmed before quotation, adding lead time and specification effort.
• Temperature rating discrepancy noted: The product is listed as 1200°C but the description references quenching from 1400°C, which may indicate a higher-temperature capability or a specification inconsistency that must be clarified with the manufacturer.
