Working Principle
Bright heat treatment furnaces operate on the principle of processing materials in a precisely controlled protective atmosphere to prevent surface oxidation, decarburization, and discoloration during high-temperature thermal cycles. Unlike conventional furnaces that expose workpieces to air, these furnaces maintain an oxygen-free or low-oxygen environment, typically using gases such as hydrogen, dissociated ammonia (a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen), pure nitrogen, or argon. This inert or reducing atmosphere reacts with any residual oxygen or surface oxides on the material, effectively cleaning the surface and ensuring a bright, metallic finish.
The process begins with loading the workpieces into the furnace chamber, which is then purged to remove air. The protective atmosphere is introduced and maintained at a slight positive pressure to prevent air ingress. Heating elements, often made of high-temperature resistant materials like molybdenum or graphite, raise the chamber temperature to the desired processing level. Precise temperature control, achieved through advanced PID controllers and multiple thermocouples, ensures uniform heating and consistent metallurgical results. After the soaking period, the workpieces are cooled within the same protective atmosphere, often using water-cooled jackets or forced gas circulation systems, to maintain the bright finish and achieve desired material properties without re-oxidation.
The integrity of the protective atmosphere is crucial. Modern bright heat treatment furnaces are equipped with sophisticated gas management systems, including flow meters, pressure sensors, and gas analyzers, to continuously monitor and control the atmosphere composition and purity. Safety interlocks are integrated to prevent operation under unsafe atmospheric conditions, especially when using flammable gases like hydrogen. The entire process, from purging to cooling, is typically automated via a PLC-based control system, allowing for precise recipe management, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive data logging for quality assurance and traceability.

Bright Heat Treatment Oven Technical Profile
Operating Principle
Bright heat treatment furnaces & ovens create oxygen-free environments through sealed chambers flooded with reducing gas atmospheres (typically H₂-N₂ mixtures). The hydrogen actively reduces surface oxides while nitrogen provides inert shielding, enabling metals to undergo thermal processing without discoloration. Precision radiant heating elements maintain uniform temperature fields across the workload, with rapid cooling achieved through controlled gas quenching that preserves metallurgical integrity.

Furnace shell has steel plate and section steel welded together, the bottom of the furnace body and the cart light rail is connected as one, users do not need foundation installation, only need to be put on the level cement ground can be used.
Furnace lining with all-fiber structure, relative to the brick hearth energy-saving 60% or so, the use of long-fiber spiked carpet as raw materials, the use of special equipment made of 300 × 300 × 300 specifications, and in the processing of the amount of compression left to ensure that the module in the completion of the masonry, each piece of ceramic fiber blocks in different directions of the expansion, so that the modules squeezed each other into a gapless whole, to achieve the effect of complete heat storage, but also the construction of the products Convenient and quick, can be directly fixed to the furnace shell steel plate stainless steel anchor round nail.
Compared with other products, it has the advantages of low thermal conductivity, low heat capacity, excellent corrosion performance, excellent thermal stability and thermal shock resistance, adiabatic, and the anchors are set on the cold side of the furnace body, which improves the fiber's high-temperature strength.
Heating element using high-temperature resistance alloy wire wound into ribbons and spirals, respectively, hanging in the side of the furnace, the door, the back wall and placed on the cart shelves on the wire tiles, and high alumina ceramic nails fixed.
The trolley is equipped with a pressure-resistant and high-temperature cast steel furnace floor, above which a vacuum furnace canister is set aside to place the workpiece. In order to prevent the oxidized skin generated by the heating of the workpiece through the gap between the furnace floor falls into the heating element around the heating element and cause damage to the heating element, so the furnace floor and the furnace body contact with the insert contact. In order to ensure normal use, it is necessary to often blowing cart furnace bottom plate below the skin of oxidation, generally once a week to blow, blowing the furnace bottom plate lifting, compressed air will be the resistance wire groove of the oxidized skin debris blowing clean, pay attention to prevent the oxidized skin stuck in the wire caused by the short-circuit.
Furnace door is installed on the trolley, integrated with the furnace tank, using cart power compression type, this structure of the compression device so that no friction between the fiber plane on the door and the mouth of the furnace cotton, and a limit device to control the stroke, with good performance, long mission characteristics.

Inside with refractory brick masonry, easy to collision parts and load-bearing parts with heavy brick masonry, to enhance the structural strength of the furnace lining, the walking cart adopts the self-propelled structure, driven by the speed reducer drive sprocket wheel walking on the track.
The sealing of the trolley adopts automatic labyrinth structure and soft-contact double sealing, the cart enters into the furnace through the action of cam and roller inclined surface, and then automatically rises up to be sealed. When the cart is opened, the sealing groove falls down automatically, and the sealing sand in the sealing groove does not need to be added frequently after it is filled up. Cart open out, furnace door lift are electric control, equipped with electromagnetic brake, can prevent inertia impact furnace, and chain control, that is, slightly open the door, automatically cut off the heating element, and at the same time to restore the cart walking mechanism power. After the door is closed in place, the power supply of the traveling mechanism of the trolley is automatically cut off and the power supply of the heating element is restored at the same time.
