Description

Technical Field

[0002] Zirconia is a high-performance inorganic non-metallic material that is widely used in dental restoration, biomedicine, aerospace and industrial fields.

[0003] Currently, the melting and sintering of zirconia requires a high temperature of 1600-2000℃. Existing heating devices mainly rely on a single resistance heating mode for melting and sintering. The heating rate of the resistance heating element is often slow, resulting in low melting and sintering efficiency of zirconia. At the same time, traditional heating devices usually require manual opening of the cover, and manual intervention is needed when sintering abnormalities occur inside the device. The high-temperature environment of the device also poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure to provide a heating device for the melting and sintering of zirconia, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.
