1200C Large chamber furnace (LCF)

• For long term ageing of nickel based super alloys ranging from 25 - 800mm in length
• Process is carried out at temperatures between 700C and 1000C depending on size & specification of the component
• The furnaces are heated by heavy-gauge wire spiral elements located in the roof and below the hearth
• Temperature uniformity within the chamber is better than 10C
• Specially designed retort constructed from 4mm thick inconel, which is 490mm (w) x 325mm (h) and 890mm (d)
• A sand seal provides a gas-tight fit between the base and the lid
• Atmosphere inlet/outlet pipes protrude from the base & through an aperture in the furnace door for connection to the inert gas supply
• The retort is lifted in/out of the furnace by a charging machine
• Maximum power rating 36kW
• Accurate temperature control is provided by a Eurotherm 2416 programmer with one programme and eight segments
  

1200C Large chamber furnace (LCF)

• Maximum operating temperatures of 1200C and 1400C
• Chamber capacities range from 125 to 675 litres
• 1200C models are heated by heavy gauge spirally wound wire elements, located in the roof and under the hearth
• 1400C models are heated by silicon carbide elements, located in the same positions
• Manually operated vertically sliding door is fitted as standard and keeps hot face insulation away from operator
• Pneumatically and electrically operated doors can be fitted as an option
