Abstract
Vacuum sintering furnace is a kind of equipment for heat treatment of materials under high vacuum or specific atmosphere, which is suitable for the sintering process of many kinds of materials. Its main purpose is to make the combination between the powder particles occur through heating to form a dense, strong overall structure, while reducing or avoiding the material and oxygen and other reactive gases contact, to prevent the occurrence of oxidation or other adverse reactions.
Materials suitable for sintering treatment using vacuum sintering furnace mainly include:
Metal powders and their alloys: these include stainless steel, titanium and titanium alloys, and nickel-based superalloys. These materials are commonly used in areas such as aerospace, medical devices and high performance mechanical components. Sintering in a vacuum environment ensures material purity and improves product performance.
Refractory metals: such as tungsten, molybdenum and tantalum. These metals have high melting points and are difficult to process and shape in the atmosphere. Vacuum sintering effectively solves this problem and helps to manufacture parts for use in high-temperature environments.
Ceramic materials: especially advanced technical ceramics such as alumina, silicon nitride and silicon carbide. These materials are widely used in electronic, chemical and mechanical fields due to their excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance and good insulating properties. Vacuum sintering can promote the densification of ceramic materials and improve their mechanical properties.
Cemented Carbide: For example, composite materials consisting of tungsten carbide and cobalt are commonly used in the manufacture of cutting tools, molds and dies. Vacuum sintering helps to improve the hardness and toughness of Cemented Carbide and prolong its service life.
Magnetic materials: permanent magnetic materials such as NdFeB are also often prepared by vacuum sintering. This method helps to control the composition of the material to ensure the consistency and stability of the magnetic properties.
Composite materials: For some composite materials containing elements that are easy to oxidize, such as composite materials containing aluminum, magnesium and other light metals, vacuum sintering is one of the ideal preparation processes to avoid oxidation problems at high temperatures.
By choosing the appropriate sintering temperature, time and pressure conditions, and adjusting the process parameters according to different material properties, the best sintering results can be assured in vacuum sintering furnaces. In addition, in order to meet the specific application requirements, sometimes also need to introduce hydrogen, argon and other protective gases in the sintering process. In short, the vacuum sintering furnace for the preparation of many high-performance materials to provide an effective solution.
