Introduction to High Temperature Furnace Universal Testing Machine

High temperature furnace universal testing machine is a precision equipment that combines high-temperature environment simulation and mechanical performance testing. It is mainly used 

for testing the mechanical properties of materials such as tension, compression, bending, and shear under high temperature conditions.

1. Core functions of the device

High temperature mechanical testing: testing the strength, elastic modulus, creep, fatigue and other properties of materials in the range of room temperature to 1600 ℃ (or even higher).

Multiple load types: Supports testing modes such as tension, compression, bending, and torsion (depending on fixture configuration).

2. Key components

(1) High temperature furnace system

Temperature range:

Conventional type: Room temperature~1200 ℃.

Ultra high temperature type: can reach above 1600 ℃.

Uniform temperature zone: a uniform temperature zone within the furnace (± 2~5 ℃) to ensure even heating of the testing section.

Heating rate: usually 5-10 ℃/min, rapid heating type can reach more than 20 ℃/min.

(2) Mechanical loading system

Load range: 1kN~1000kN (selected based on material strength).

Actuator: servo electric or hydraulic drive, accuracy ± 0.5% FS.

Deformation measurement: High temperature extensometer, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1200 ℃.

(3) Control system

Temperature control: PID regulation, supports multi-stage program heating.

Data collection: synchronously record parameters such as temperature, load, displacement, strain, etc.

Security protection: power outage due to overheating, overload protection, abnormal alarm of cooling system.

3. Typical application materials

Metal materials: creep properties of high-temperature alloys, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys.

Ceramics and composite materials: High temperature strength testing of zirconia and silicon carbide.

Coating and Welding Joints: Evaluating Bond Strength in High Temperature Environments.

4. Maintenance and safety

Regular calibration: High temperature thermocouples and load sensors need to be calibrated periodically.

Cooling system: The water-cooled furnace shell or circulating cooler needs to prevent blockage.

Operation protection: The outer wall of the high-temperature furnace is insulated and equipped with an emergency cooling system.
