A common mistake for choosing furnace #1: the furnace was used to heat samples that produced molten residue. But no proper protection was applied, the melted sample overflowed and residue leaked out of the chamber, causing:
- Burn marks and blackened inner walls,
- Rapid damage to the heating elements,
- Contamination inside the vacuum chamber.
A common mistake for choosing furnace #2: Wrong application with the wrong furnace specification
If a customer selected a vacuum furnace, although the process did not require vacuum conditions at all. This made the system unnecessarily complex and expensive to maintain. |

Tips for Selecting the Right Furnace
1. Match the furnace type to your material and process
For general materials or non-metals, use a box furnace or standard muffle furnace.
For samples that release gas, smoke, or molten residue, choose a furnace with an exhaust or ventilation system. Or an Ashing furnace, a furnace that protects the heating element behind the furnace chamber wall
For reactive metals or controlled-atmosphere applications, use a vacuum furnace or inert-gas furnace.
2. Define the required temperature and capacity
Choose a furnace with a maximum temperature about 100–200°C higher than your process temperature to prevent overloading the heating elements.
3. Use crucibles or liners for protection
Crucibles or chamber liners prevent contamination and protect the insulation and heating elements from damage.
4. Choose an easy-maintenance design
Furnaces with removable trays or easy-clean chambers reduce downtime and extend service life. |
