This furnace is used to intentionally oxidize materials, either as a processing step (e.g., growing oxide films on silicon wafers) or to test a material's oxidation resistance. Operating at temperatures like 800°C, it exposes samples to an oxygen-rich environment. The working principle involves flowing oxygen or air through a heated chamber containing the sample. Its purpose in semiconductor manufacturing is to create silicon dioxide insulating layers. In materials testing, it is used to measure weight gain over time to evaluate alloys for high-temperature service, such as in turbine engines.

Trutherm manufactures 1000 Degree Celsius (1000°C) Oxidation Furnace 100 x 100 x 225 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1000°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 100 x 100 x 225 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 2.4 litre, approximate power load of 4.1 kW, square chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.
A muffle furnace isolates the sample from direct contact with heating elements or combustion gases, giving cleaner, more repeatable results than an open flame or hot-plate process.
Because muffle furnaces are used across ashing, drying, calcination and light heat-treatment, the chamber and controller are specified for flexibility rather than one narrow process window.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
