Description
The multi-tube furnace is a high-efficiency thermal processing system specifically engineered for the reduction of metal powders such as tungsten, molybdenum, and other refractory metals. Designed to operate under controlled atmospheres—typically hydrogen or inert gases—this furnace ensures a clean and uniform reduction environment critical for producing high-purity metal powders.
Featuring multiple parallel tubes within a single heating chamber, the furnace allows for continuous or batch processing of materials, significantly improving throughput and thermal efficiency. Each tube can be individually regulated to maintain consistent temperature profiles, resulting in precise control over reduction kinetics and powder characteristics.
This furnace is ideal for applications requiring consistent quality, tight particle specifications, and scale-up flexibility. Its modular design, combined with advanced temperature control and atmosphere management, makes it a reliable solution for industrial-scale metal powder production in the fields of powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials engineering.
