High vacuum high temperature Centorr furnace

This multi-purpose furnace has wide range of options to carry out heat treatment, powder sintering and annealing under high (10^-6 torr) vacuum and up to 1-3 psig positive pressure of argon, nitrogen or hydrogen atmosphere. The system can be operated at high temperature up to 2000 degree C. The system is equipped with forced gas quenching setup for rapid cooling of the charge/sample(s) under inert gas within the furnace chamber after completion of the heat treatment. The system is fully automated with PLC control and has remote operation capability.
