Overview
Labotemp Vacuum Furnace FVA-14 is a laboratory vacuum/atmosphere furnace with a 20 L chamber (250 × 320 × 250 mm) designed for ultra-high-temperature thermal processing and materials research. It reaches up to 1700°C (1600°C recommended working temperature) and supports vacuum heat treatment, pre-vacuum annealing, high-temperature sintering and controlled-atmosphere processing for ceramics, alloys, composites and powder metallurgy.

Heating and control
MoSi₂ rod heating elements provide rapid thermal response, uniform temperature distribution and durability under thermal cycling. The unit supports pre-vacuum operation for low-oxygen or inert-gas processing. Water-cooling protection is required at ultra-high temperatures to protect components and extend service life.

Key benefits

• Ultra-high temperature capability up to 1700°C (1600°C working).
• Large 20 L chamber suitable for larger samples and pilot production.
• Efficient MoSi₂ rod heating for fast response and thermal stability.
• Pre-vacuum operation for reduced-oxygen or inert atmosphere processing.
• Water-cooling protection for safe long-term operation at ultra-high temperatures.

Applications

• Sintering of advanced ceramics and high-temperature processing.
• Heat treatment of metal alloys and powder metallurgy.
• Composite materials development and pilot-scale prototypes.
• Crystal growth and electronic component fabrication requiring controlled atmospheres.
• Research in aerospace, semiconductors, energy technology and additive manufacturing laboratories.
