The invention relates to a
tempering furnace. The furnace comprises a furnace body, the top of which is provided with a furnace cover, an inner container is arranged in the furnace body, an air circulating and heating device is arranged on the furnace body, and a
hearth is arranged at the bottom end of the furnace body. By properly arranging the furnace cover, the inner container, the air circulating and heating device and the like, the
tempering furnace provided by the invention achieves omidirectional
tempering of a workpiece which is suspended below the furnace cover by the process of uniformly heating,
cycling and preheating the gas in the furnace, thus avoiding tempering
blind spot in the furnace, obviously decreasing the temperature deviation in the furnace, and effectively improving the tempering quality of the workpiece in the furnace. Moreover, the tempering furnace maximally utilizes the heat created by burning the fuel, and further improves the furnace tempering effect. The tempering furnace of the invention has the advantages of reasonable and simple structure, low production cost, simplicity of operation, convenience of maintenance, high efficiency and
energy conservation, and is suitable for popularization.
