This furnace is specifically for hardening ferrous metals, particularly steel, by heating them to a critical temperature (typically 850°C for many steels) and then rapidly quenching in oil, water, or polymer. The working principle involves a chamber that heats the parts uniformly to the austenitizing temperature, followed by a quick transfer to a quench tank. Its purpose is to increase the hardness and wear resistance of components like tools, gears, and bearings. It is a fundamental piece of equipment in heat treatment shops and manufacturing plants.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 200 x 170 x 170 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 5.8 litre, approximate power load of 5.9 kW, rectangular - wide 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.

Trutherm manufactures 1400 Degree Celsius (°C) Hardening Furnace 200 x 170 x 170 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1400°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.
Routine QC and teaching labs value a muffle furnace precisely because one unit can cover several standard test methods without dedicated process-specific tooling.
Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
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.
