Last week we asked: what’s the difference between air, atmosphere, and vacuum furnaces?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
-> Air furnaces: Best for general heat treating where oxidation isn’t a concern
-> Atmosphere furnaces: Use protective gas to reduce scaling and improve surface quality
-> Vacuum furnaces: Designed for highly specialized applications requiring ultra-clean, oxidation-free environments
