How a Dutch Lab Improves Materials Research Efficiency with Atmosphere Furnaces

In materials science worldwide, precise heat treatment and atmosphere control are key factors in ensuring the quality of research results and production.

A laboratory from the Netherlands has a long history of exploring and optimising the properties of semiconductors and high-performance materials. To further enhance its research capabilities, the laboratory decided to purchase a chamber atmosphere furnace.

With its excellent technology and service, Brother Furnace successfully won this trust and provided strong support for the lab's research work.

Customer Background

This Dutch laboratory is one of Europe's leading materials science research organizations, specializing in the research and development of semiconductors, ceramics, and high-performance materials. Known for its innovative research and high-precision experiments, the lab needed high-performance lab equipment to support its scientific work.

At the beginning of the cooperation, the Dutch laboratory explained in detail their requirements for an furnace, including the high-temperature range, the precision of the atmosphere control, and the selection of the furnace chamber material.

The technical team of Brother Furnace carefully analysed their needs, provided detailed technical solutions and product introduction, and solved the customer's doubts about equipment selection.

After sufficient technical communication and program adjustment, the customer finally chose the high-temperature atmosphere furnace.

Advantages of Atmosphere Furnace

The atmosphere furnace is a key piece of equipment used for the heat treatment of materials in a controlled atmosphere. Its core function is to provide a controlled environment to meet the special needs of the material heat treatment process.

Precise Regulation of the Gas Composition

Atmosphere protection furnaces maintain a specific atmosphere environment by precisely controlling the gas composition in the furnace chamber. This includes the use of inert gases (e.g. nitrogen, argon) or reducing gases (e.g. hydrogen). By regulating the gas flow and ratio, the atmosphere furnace is able to prevent oxidation or other undesired chemical reactions of the material during the heating process.

Ensuring Consistency in Heat Treatment

Atmosphere furnaces are equipped with a high-precision temperature control system to ensure uniformity and stability of the temperature inside the furnace.

Advanced temperature controllers precisely regulate the heating elements to ensure that temperature fluctuations are minimized throughout the furnace chamber, thus ensuring uniform heating of the material.

Advanced Furnace Chamber Materials

Atmosphere furnace hearth materials must have excellent high-temperature resistance and chemical stability. Commonly used chamber materials for Brother Furnace include alumina, polysilicon carbide, etc. These materials can maintain structural stability in high-temperature environments and reduce contamination of the material.
