- Brother Furnace
A VHP furnace up to 2000℃ is a specialized thermal processing system designed for vacuum hot pressing and high-temperature sintering of advanced materials. By combining elevated temperature with controlled mechanical pressure under vacuum or protective atmosphere conditions, the furnace significantly improves material densification, microstructure uniformity, and final mechanical properties.
Vacuum hot press technology is widely applied in the production and research of inorganic materials, hard alloys, powder metallurgy products, and advanced functional ceramics. The simultaneous application of heat and pressure enables enhanced diffusion and reduced porosity, resulting in high-density components with superior strength and reliability.
High-Temperature Vacuum Hot Pressing Capability
The VHP furnace up to 2000℃ is engineered for demanding heat treatment and sintering processes requiring stable high-temperature performance and precise pressure control. Depending on the process temperature and vacuum requirements, different heating systems can be selected:
- Resistance heating modules for applications below 1200°C
- Graphite heating elements for high-temperature operation above 1200°C, with maximum temperatures reaching 2000°C or higher
Graphite hot zones provide excellent thermal uniformity, high heating efficiency, and reliable operation in high-vacuum environments, making them suitable for advanced ceramic sintering, refractory materials, and special alloy consolidation.
Precise Pressure and Displacement Control
The hot pressing system features adjustable pressing force, typically up to 5 tons, allowing both laboratory-scale sample preparation and small-batch production testing. Accurate pressure regulation helps optimize densification behavior while minimizing material waste during research and development.
A high-precision grating ruler monitoring system provides displacement accuracy up to 0.02 mm, ensuring stable and repeatable control throughout the pressing cycle. This level of precision is critical for controlling shrinkage behavior and maintaining product consistency during vacuum hot pressing processes.
Advanced PLC Automation System
Modern VHP furnace systems are equipped with an integrated PLC control platform that manages:
- Temperature programming
- Pressure adjustment
- Vacuum regulation
- Automatic pressure-temperature tracking
- Process monitoring and alarm protection
All operating parameters and process data can be displayed and recorded in real time through an industrial touch-screen interface. Operators can monitor temperature curves, vacuum levels, displacement changes, and pressing status throughout the entire sintering cycle.
The real-time data logging function improves process traceability and supports optimization for industrial and research applications.
Reliable Temperature Measurement System
To ensure accurate temperature control across a wide operating range, the furnace utilizes dual temperature measurement technologies:
- W-Re thermocouples for lower and medium temperature stages
- Infrared pyrometers for ultra-high-temperature measurement
During high-temperature operation, the W-Re thermocouple automatically retracts or deactivates to protect the sensor from overheating and extend service life. This dual-measurement configuration ensures stable and accurate thermal control during critical sintering stages.
Applications of VHP Furnace up to 2000℃
Vacuum hot press furnaces are widely used in:
