1000°C high temperature stainless conveyor furnace heats iron shavings for mould pressing
2026-01-24
- Heating Stage: Iron shavings are loaded onto a high-temperature resistant conveyor belt—often made of nickel-alloy steels like 310S to withstand 1000°C—and transported through multiple heating zones.
- Material Softening: Heating iron above 912°C causes a phase transformation, making the atoms more closely packed and significantly increasing the metal's ductility and malleability.
- Atmosphere Control: To prevent oxidation of the iron shavings at these temperatures, these furnaces often utilize an inert gas (e.g., Argon or Nitrogen) or a reducing atmosphere.
- Mould Pressing: The softened shavings are immediately transferred to a pressing die. This "hot pressing" technique combines heat and pressure to achieve superior densification compared to traditional cold sintering.
