A government military defense organization, located in the southeastern United States, bought a medium-sized high-temperature box furnace for military ceramic composite development. It will also help with research and development for various other components.
The furnace, built by L&L Special Furnace Co., Inc., has a working zone of 24” wide by 18” high by 36” deep and is rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 2500°F (1371°C). It is equipped with silicon carbide heating elements for high temperature operation and sealed from the inside out for use with inert “blanketing gas."
This furnace is controlled by a Honeywell program control and corresponding overtemperature protection.
