Electric furnace is a heating furnace that converts electrical energy inside the furnace into heat to heat workpieces. Electric furnaces can be divided into resistance furnaces, induction furnaces, electric arc furnaces, plasma furnaces, electron beam furnaces, etc. Today, the editor will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of electric furnaces for everyone.
The main advantages are:
Compared to fuel furnaces, it is easier to obtain high temperatures.
2. The material can be heated internally to increase its temperature.
3. Easy to use in controlled atmosphere furnaces and vacuum furnaces.
4. Electric furnaces do not have the exhaust heat loss of fuel furnaces, so their thermal efficiency is high.
5. Easy to control temperature, convenient for remote control and fine adjustment.
6. Capable of rapid heating.
7. Good operational performance and no environmental pollution.
The main drawbacks are:
1. Need to increase the cost of distribution equipment.
2. High cost of electricity.
When the resistance heating temperature exceeds 1000 ℃, refractory materials may conduct electricity, and insulation issues need to be noted.
