1200C High Temperature Atmosphere Controlled Vertical Quenching Tube Furnace with 4 Inch Quartz Tube

Product Overview

This high-temperature vertical quenching system is engineered for advanced material science research, specifically designed to facilitate the rapid cooling of samples from temperatures up to 1200°C. By integrating a vacuum-sealed 100mm diameter quartz tube with a specialized liquid quenching tank, the equipment allows researchers to freeze microstructures at specific thermal equilibrium states. The core value of this unit lies in its ability to provide a controlled environment—whether under vacuum or a specific atmosphere—ensuring that sample integrity is maintained from the heating phase through the instantaneous quenching transition.

Primary use cases for this equipment include the study of material phase transitions, microstructure evolution in advanced alloys, and the simulation of extreme service conditions for industrial components. It is an essential tool for R&D laboratories in metallurgy, aerospace engineering, and energy sectors where understanding the high-temperature behavior of materials is critical. The system's vertical orientation and split-furnace design maximize operational efficiency, making it suitable for both fundamental academic research and demanding industrial process development.

Built for reliability and precision, the system features a double-layered steel structure with forced air cooling to maintain a safe exterior casing temperature even during prolonged high-temperature cycles. This robust engineering ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions, providing the repeatability required for sensitive experimental data. Operators can rely on the integrated safety features and precision PID control to maintain strict thermal profiles, positioning this unit as a cornerstone for high-end thermal processing and quenching applications.

Key Features

• Automated Electromagnet Sample Release: The system utilizes a full automatic electromagnet flange mechanism. A hinged plate hooks the sample cable and drops instantaneously when the electromagnet powers off, ensuring precise timing for quenching and eliminating the variability associated with manual intervention.
• Integrated Vertical Quenching Architecture: The equipment features a split-able vertical design that facilitates easy installation and sample positioning. The bottom flange is connected to a dedicated quenching media container via a manual gate valve, allowing for seamless sample transition from the heating zone to the liquid agent.
• Precision PID Thermal Management: Equipped with an advanced temperature controller offering 30 programmable segments, the unit provides meticulous control over heating rates, cooling rates, and dwell times with an accuracy of ±1ºC.
• Superior Atmosphere and Vacuum Integrity: The 4-inch high-purity quartz tube is vacuum-sealed, capable of reaching vacuum levels down to 0.05 Torr. This allows for quenching under inert gas or vacuum conditions, preventing oxidation or contamination of sensitive specimens.
• High-Performance Heating Elements: Utilizing Fe-Cr-Al alloy doped with molybdenum, the heating elements are designed for longevity and consistent thermal output across the entire 440mm heating zone.
• Enhanced Safety Framework: The double-layer steel housing keeps the shell temperature below 65°C. Built-in alarms for overheating and broken thermocouples allow for unattended operation while protecting both the equipment and the laboratory environment.
• Versatile Quenching Media Compatibility: The integrated 400 x 400 x 200 mm quenching tank is designed to accommodate various agents, including ice water or cooled oil, providing flexibility for different cooling rate requirements.
• Advanced Data Communication: Features a built-in RS485 communication port, enabling remote monitoring and data logging, which is essential for audit trails in industrial R&D environments.
