The Mentor Vacuum Furnace
Hot Zone
Hearth: molybdenum support pins and rails
Heating Elements: curved, segmented graphite bands
Insulation: six layers of 1/2″ thick high purity rayon graphite felt with a Flexshield hot face
Insulation and heating elements are mounted on a heavy duty (0.105″) stainless steel support structure
Power Supply
MSI SCR power supply rated at 40 KVA 460 volt/3 phase/60 Hertz
Vacuum Chamber
All stainless steel, double wall, water cooled, horizontal front loading vacuum chamber
Hinged and bolted front door permits the furnace to safely quench at positive pressures up to 2-bar
Oversized water inlets and outlets assure maximum water flow
Gas Quenching System
The internal gas quench system provides the lowest resistance, highest efficiency gas flow at positive pressures up to 2-bar.
A 7.5 HP motor drives a high-speed turbine fan to recirculate the quench gas straight through the water-to-gas heat exchanger and then into the hot zone at high velocity.
The tapered graphite gas nozzles are specifically directed at the work load for optimum cooling.
Vacuum Pumping System
Mechanical Pump: High capacity, 2-stage, rotary piston pump
Diffusion Pump: Varian VHS-6 6″
