TF1700 Series Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Tube Furnaces

The TF1700 series is engineered for high-temperature applications, combining Mitsubishi (Japan) alumina fiber insulation with molybdenum silicide (MoSi2) heating elements for superior thermal efficiency. Designed for flexibility and reliability, it supports advanced CVD processes with multiple atmospheres in a single cycle.

Key Features:

• Robust Insulation: Mitsubishi high-quality 1800-grade fiber alumina ensures excellent thermal stability.
• Enhanced Sealing: Dual flange design for better vacuum performance and extended tube life.
• Advanced Temperature Control: Eurotherm (UK) digital controllers offer precise 8 or 50-segment programming for ramping and dwelling.
• Flexible Process Capabilities: Supports binder burnout in air, sintering in inert gas, or under rough vacuum conditions.
• User-Friendly Interface: Built-in ammeter, dual voltmeters, and computer connectivity for real-time monitoring and data management.
• Temperature Range: Capable of achieving up to 1700°C (3092°F) for peak performance.

Safety Features:

• Overheat protection automatically shuts down the furnace in case of malfunctions or extreme conditions.
• Power failure protection allows the furnace to resume operation seamlessly after power restoration.
• Warning: Not designed for use with explosive gases such as Hydrogen, Methane, or Carbon Monoxide.
