[0002] Vacuum heat treatment refers to the process of heating, keeping warm and cooling metal materials in a vacuum environment. This treatment method has many advantages and is therefore widely used in the processing and manufacturing of metal materials. During the vacuum heat treatment of metal materials, protective gas is used for cooling. The use of protective gas for cooling plays an important role in the vacuum heat treatment of metal materials. It can reduce the occurrence of cracks and stress concentration, control the formation of grain size and structure, and promote phase transformation and solid solution treatment. Through reasonable protective gas cooling, the performance and quality of metal materials can be effectively improved.

[0003] However, the existing protective gas generally enters the vacuum processing equipment only through one air inlet. As a result, the protective gas may not be quickly and evenly distributed to all metal material surfaces when entering the vacuum heat treatment furnace, resulting in uneven cooling, which may cause a large temperature gradient between the surface and the interior of the metal material, and further lead to deformation, stress concentration and other problems.
