What are the technological uses of muffle furnaces?
Muffle furnace has a variety of process uses, including but not limited to the following aspects:
1. Ashing experiment
- Used to ash organic and biological samples to determine the inorganic components.
2. Burning experiment
- Burn various samples such as ores and soil to remove impurities.
3. High temperature annealing
- Annealing metal materials to eliminate internal stress and improve their structure and performance.
4. Ceramic firing
- Firing ceramic products to promote the sintering and crystallization process of ceramic materials.
5. Material drying
- Remove moisture or solvent from the material to achieve the purpose of drying.
6. Material decomposition
- Promote the decomposition of certain compounds at high temperatures to study their decomposition process and products.
7. Glass annealing
- Improve the internal stress distribution of glass products and improve their mechanical strength and stability.
8. Quality inspection
- For example, in industries such as coal and ore, it is used to detect the quality and composition of samples.
9. Chemical synthesis
- Provide an environment for some chemical reactions that require high temperature conditions and promote the synthesis reaction.
10. Thermal stability test
- Evaluate the stability and performance changes of materials at high temperatures.
