The Working Principle of a Rotary Furnace
A rotary furnace is a barrel-shaped instrument that is rotated around its axis when performing heat treatment. These instruments are tilted slightly to allow the sample under heat treatment to be passed from one end of the barrel to the other. This sample transfer occurs as the rotary furnace rotates, and this rotation can also induce some mixing or stirring of the sample. When the rotary furnace is in operation, hot gases pass through the chamber to perform the heat treatment. Generally, the hot gases pass through in the opposite direction than the sample, but depending on the application requirements…
