Used after hardening, this furnace heats already-hardened metals to a lower temperature (e.g., 400°C for many steels) to reduce brittleness and relieve internal stresses while retaining most of the hardness. The working principle involves precise temperature control at these moderate temperatures to achieve the desired balance of toughness and hardness. Its purpose is a critical second step in the heat treatment of tools, springs, and structural components, making them less prone to catastrophic failure in service. Temperatures and times are carefully selected based on the steel grade and application.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 810 x 810 x 870 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 570.8 litre, approximate power load of 37.7 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.

Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
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.
