Laboratory Furnace Selection Guide: 1200°C to 1700°C
By Dr. Vikram Singh · July 5, 2026
Selecting the right laboratory furnace is crucial for material synthesis, heat treatment, and ceramic processing. With temperatures ranging from 1200°C to 1700°C, understanding the differences between furnace types is essential.
Furnace Types
- Chamber Muffle Furnaces: Ideal for ashing, sintering, and general heat treatment. Available from 1L to 30L capacity.
- Tube Furnaces: Perfect for experiments requiring controlled atmospheres or vacuum conditions. Single, dual, and three‑zone options available.
- Bottom Loading Furnaces: Designed for easy loading of heavy samples, especially for zirconia sintering and ceramics.
- Vacuum Atmosphere Furnaces: For processing under vacuum or inert gases, essential for advanced materials research.
Heating Element Comparison
- HRE wire: Up to 1200°C, cost‑effective, good for general use.
- SiC rods: Up to 1400°C, excellent for high‑temperature oxidising atmospheres.
- MoSi₂ rods: Up to 1700°C, for ultra‑high‑temperature applications.
