Introduction to Vacuum Annealing

Vacuum annealing process refers to the process of slowly heating the workpiece to the specified temperature under the condition of less than one atmosphere, holding it for a period of time, and then cooling the workpiece to room temperature according to the cooling method specified in the process. In recent years, with the development of cutting-edge industries such as aviation, aerospace, nuclear power and national defense, there has been a higher requirement for the quality of rare metal materials such as titanium and zirconium. Vacuum annealing is an important process for processing rare metal and alloy materials such as titanium and zirconium. Vacuum annealing and heating can prevent metal oxidation and decarburization, and degassing and degreasing can make oxides evaporate to improve surface brightness and mechanical properties.

The main application scope of vacuum annealing includes: annealing of active metals and heat-resistant metals; Bright annealing of copper and copper alloys; Stress relief annealing of magnetic materials; Degassing annealing of vacuum tube materials Annealing of stainless steel.

If you want to realize the vacuum annealing process, you need to use a professional vacuum annealing furnace. Take the RVA series vacuum annealing furnace produced by SIMUWU as an example to introduce the basic composition of the vacuum annealing furnace.

Composition of vacuum annealing furnace:

RVA series vacuum annealing furnace is mainly composed of furnace body, vacuum system, heating system (furnace liner), forced cooling system, water cooling system, electrical control system, etc. The main function of the vacuum annealing furnace is to vacuumize the furnace body. Its working process is to heat the workpiece when the vacuum degree in the furnace meets the heating requirements of the materials, and heat the workpiece according to the process requirements of different materials. After the heat preservation process, inert gas is filled into the furnace as the cooling medium, and the forced cooling system is started to cool the workpiece (or the workpiece is naturally cooled under the action of circulating water), When the temperature in the furnace reaches the conditions for discharging, the workpiece can be discharged to complete a process.

Role of vacuum annealing:

(1) Reduce hardness and improve machinability.

(2) Reduce residual stress, stabilize size, reduce deformation and crack tendency.

(3) Refine the grain, adjust the structure and eliminate the structural defects.

(4) Unify the material structure and composition, improve the material performance or prepare for the subsequent heat treatment.

(5) The surface structure of the alloy was improved by vacuum degassing.

Introduction to vacuum annealing process:

In production, vacuum annealing process is widely used. According to different purposes of workpiece annealing, there are many kinds of annealing process specifications, including complete annealing, spheroidizing annealing, and stress relief annealing. It should be noted that the vacuum degree during vacuum annealing must be considered according to the oxidation characteristics of the treated materials. Some rare metals will evaporate when heated in a high vacuum environment, so low-pressure gas should be introduced for protection. The degassing effect of vacuum annealing depends on the heating temperature, vacuum degree, operation time and other process conditions of the vacuum furnace, as well as the physical and chemical properties of the gas and metal oxides.

The RVA series vacuum heat treatment furnace produced by SIMUWU is a high-quality product for vacuum heat treatment process. Good temperature control accuracy and uniformity ensure the effective implementation of vacuum annealing process. SIMUWU focuses on the manufacturing of vacuum furnaces, has more than ten years of relevant experience, and has a good reputation in the field of vacuum furnace manufacturing. The product line includes vacuum gas quenching furnace, vacuum oil quenching furnace, vacuum brazing furnace, etc., which are widely sold in developed and developing countries.
