AI Technical Summary
Existing pit furnaces have problems with atmosphere sintering, such as difficulty in filling the cavity with gas, especially hydrogen with low density, which is difficult to utilize effectively. In addition, the contact between the furnace cover and the hot gas flow causes the rubber ring to soften and leak gas, which poses a safety hazard.
A novel atmosphere sintering pit furnace was designed, including a furnace body, furnace cover, sealing ring, and various piping systems. Through water circulation cooling and a fully ventilated system, combined with thermocouple tubes for temperature measurement, uniform atmosphere distribution and furnace cover cooling are achieved, thereby improving safety.
This approach fully utilizes the atmosphere, improves material properties, and reduces furnace cover temperature through water circulation cooling, thereby minimizing damage to rubber rings and enhancing operational safety.

[0021] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that a high-temperature resistant gasket 10 is fixedly welded to the bottom inner wall of the furnace body 9 to facilitate the placement of sintered samples or workpieces.
[0022] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the bottom end of the thermocouple tube 4 is located in the middle of the furnace body 9, and the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 5 passes through the high-temperature resistant gasket 10 and extends to the bottom of the furnace body 9 for easy use, so that the atmosphere fills the furnace cavity.
[0023] Example 5: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that a furnace lid handle 2 is fixedly welded onto the furnace lid 7 to facilitate the user in taking the furnace lid 7.
[0024] Example 6: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the surface of the high-temperature resistant gasket 10 is provided with multiple through holes, and the air inlet pipe 5 is movably inserted into the inside of the through holes without interfering with the high-temperature resistant gasket 10, which facilitates ventilation and makes it easy to install the furnace cover 7 and the air inlet pipe.
[0025] In summary, when using this novel atmosphere sintering pit furnace, the sample is placed on the high-temperature resistant gasket 10, and then the furnace cover 7 and sealing ring 8 are installed to the furnace body 9 using bolts to seal the furnace cavity. Then, before heating, the required atmosphere is introduced for 5-10 minutes to remove residual air from the furnace cavity. Subsequently, the condensation system is turned on, and cold water enters the interior of the furnace cover 7 through the water inlet pipe 6 to cool the furnace cover. At the same time, the heating program is started for sintering.
