Overview
Labotemp Vacuum Furnace FVA-16 is a laboratory vacuum furnace engineered for ultra-high-temperature thermal processing and pilot-scale R&D. It features a 45 L chamber (300×500×300 mm), 1700°C maximum temperature and 1600°C continuous working temperature. The unit supports vacuum heat treatment, vacuum annealing, high-temperature sintering, vacuum brazing and controlled-atmosphere processing for ceramics, metal alloys, composites and powder-metallurgy materials.

Key design & components
MoSi₂ rod heating elements provide fast ramp rates, high thermal efficiency and uniform temperature distribution under repeated ultra-high-temperature cycles. Temperature measurement uses a B-type platinum‑rhodium thermocouple. Precise profile control is handled by Yudian or Shimaden programmable controllers. The furnace can operate under vacuum or inert gas to minimize oxidation and contamination. Water‑cooling protection is provided and the unit is compatible with external chillers for extended high‑temperature operation.
