Development history and prospect of high temperature graphitization furnace

High temperature graphitization furnace is a kind of equipment that uses high temperature graphitization technology for heating and processing. By exposing the material to high temperature graphitization environment, the graphitization reaction occurs, so as to achieve the modification, heat treatment, graphitization and other purposes of the material. High temperature graphitized furnace has the characteristics of high temperature, high efficiency and energy saving, and is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, material science and other fields.

The development of high temperature graphitization furnaces can be traced back to the 1950s. The earliest graphitization furnaces used the traditional resistance heating method, which had problems such as high energy consumption and uneven heating. With the development of electronic technology, the application of IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) technology has greatly improved the heating efficiency of high temperature graphitization furnace. In addition, the control system of the high temperature graphitization furnace has been improved to achieve more precise temperature control and automated operation.

With the development of industrial production and the improvement of material performance requirements, the development prospect of high temperature graphitization furnace is very broad. First of all, the high temperature graphitization furnace can realize the precise control and modification of the material, and improve the performance and quality of the material. For example, in the metallurgical industry, high temperature graphitization furnaces can be used to graphitize metals to improve the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metals. Secondly, the high temperature graphitization furnace has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving, which can reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency. This is of great significance for saving resources and protecting the environment.

In addition, with the continuous emergence of new materials and the increasing application demand, the application field of high temperature graphitization furnace is also expanding. For example, the high temperature graphitization furnace can be used for the graphitization treatment of carbon fiber, ceramic materials, composite materials, etc., to improve the strength, toughness and thermal conductivity of the material. At the same time, the high-temperature graphitization furnace can also be used for the preparation of graphite fossil ink, which provides the possibility for the application of graphene in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics, energy and so on.

In summary, high temperature graphitization furnace has an important position and broad development prospect in the field of material processing and modification. With the continuous progress of technology and the increase of application demand, high temperature graphitization furnaces will be applied in more fields, and bring more innovation and development opportunities for materials science and industrial production.
