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 1400 Degree Celsius (°C) Oxidation Furnace 240 x 240 x 450 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.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 240 x 240 x 450 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 25.9 litre, approximate power load of 10.7 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 is usually the first furnace a lab installs, since it covers the broadest share of everyday heating, drying and ashing tasks before more specialised equipment is added.
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.
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.
