RHF-1500S is a bench-top atmosphere-controlled rapid heating furnace ( ACRHF) with a max working temperature of 1500 °C. The small furnace is designed for simulating a big kiln to find suitable sintering processing, and it is excellent for making single-crystal cathode powders for battery materials.

Vacuum Level and
Gas compatible
|
- Limited by the vacuum pump
- 10^-2 torr can be achieved by the mechanical pump
- 10^-4 torr can be reached by molecular pump
- The pump is not included. (Please click the picture left to order )
- The furnace is comparable to oxygen and inert gases ( not for flammable gases)
- For use with H2 gas, you must get a permit from MTI, and the furnace must be modified
