Series Start: The Power of Small Carbon Furnaces

Explaining the capabilities of small carbon furnaces from a practical perspective! We will also introduce challenges and benefits.

"Although the temperature can be achieved, the targeted reaction site cannot be created." We will overcome that barrier with a small carbon furnace. In this series, we will explain the capabilities of a small carbon furnace that can reproducibly handle extremely low oxygen atmospheres (O2 ppm level) and ultra-high temperatures (2,000-3,000°C range) from a practical perspective. Do you face these challenges? ■ Heating can be done, but slight oxygen contamination causes variations in properties ■ Large furnaces have slow ramp-up times, making it difficult to establish conditions ■ Temperature unevenness and undercooking lead to instability in crystallinity and pore structure Benefits of miniaturization × extremely low O2 × ultra-high temperature ■ Reach target temperatures quickly → increases the number of trials per day ■ Ensures uniform heating even with small samples → improved reproducibility ■ Balances oxygen management and thermal history → achieves desired crystalline phases, conductivity, and microstructure In this series, we will sequentially introduce the development background, heating principles, application-specific know-how, safety design, specifications & expansions, mini case studies, and FAQs. *For more detailed information, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.
