Pay attention to the influence of vacuum leakage in vacuum sintering furnace

Application of vacuum sintering furnace

As an important equipment for protective sintering of heated objects in a vacuum environment, vacuum sintering furnace has been widely used in many industrial production fields such as cemented carbide, metal powder, ceramic materials, etc. The reason for using vacuum sintering is that it can effectively prevent the material from chemically reacting with oxygen and other gases in the air under high temperature, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of the product to a great extent. This unique treatment method has laid a solid foundation for the quality of the product and made the vacuum sintering furnace more and more important in industrial production.

The impact of vacuum leakage

If a vacuum leak occurs, the vacuum degree inside the sintering furnace will drop significantly, making it difficult to maintain the required vacuum environment. The direct consequence of this problem is that it greatly interferes with the stability of the sintering process, which seriously affects the quality of the product. When the vacuum degree cannot reach the ideal state, the material is very likely to undergo oxidation reaction with oxygen and other gases remaining in the furnace. This oxidation reaction will cause the composition of the product to change and no longer meet the expected standards. At the same time, it will also cause the performance of the product to fluctuate and fail to meet the design requirements. In addition, vacuum leakage may also introduce other impurities, such as dust and moisture. The mixing of these impurities will further reduce the quality and purity of the product, making it lose its advantage in market competition and causing immeasurable losses to the enterprise. In order to make up for the insufficient vacuum caused by vacuum leakage, the sintering furnace has to increase the frequency and time of vacuuming. This measure will not only greatly increase energy consumption and lead to a sharp increase in production costs, but also affect production efficiency and have a negative impact on the economic benefits and market competitiveness of the enterprise.
