Heat Treatment

01

Hot Zone Capacity

Our furnace has a generous hot zone with a nominal capacity of 30.0L, and dimensions of Ø300mm x 450mm. The maximum build plate size per treatment is 280mm x 280mm x 205mm in height (inclusive of build plate thickness)

02

Temperature Control

With an operating range from 400°C to 1200°C, controlled cooling rate cycles, and fast gas quenching in argon, you can be assured of precise, high-quality, repeatable treatments.

03

Ultimate Vacuum

Achieving an ultimate vacuum of 1E-5 mbar and a nominal pump-down time of 15–20 minutes, the Specnow furnace ensures excellent processing conditions particularly for Titanium alloys where preventing oxygen pickup is paramount.

04

Robust Components

From its graphitic hot zone element and insulation to its Edwards vacuum pumps and all-metal vacuum lines, every aspect of the furnace is engineered for performance and reliability.
