GCF1700.6.6.6 is the 6 x 6 x 6 inch chamber variant from Across International's GCF1700 controlled atmosphere muffle furnace series. The live Across page describes this series as using Mitsubishi (Japan) high-quality alumina fiber insulation with MoSi2 heating elements inside a double-walled steel housing to help reduce heat loss.

The furnace is controlled by a Eurotherm or Shimaden multi-segment digital controller with built-in communications port and USB adapter for PC-based remote control, monitoring, and export of test results. Across also notes that these furnaces can support multiple atmosphere processes in a single cycle, such as binder burn-out in air followed by sintering under rough vacuum or inert gas.

Features

• Multiple gas inlets and outlets with stainless steel ball valves and flow control.
• Welded, leak-tested chamber with high-temperature silicone door gasket sealing.
• Built-in stainless steel water-cooling panel to protect the door seal during heavy use.
• Microprocessor-based self-tuning PID control for stable thermal processing.
• Built-in ammeter, dual voltmeters, and computer interface for monitoring and troubleshooting.
• CE compliant on the standard listing.

Important

Across notes that GCF furnaces are not designed to be vacuum furnaces. The vacuum function is mainly intended for pre-evacuating the chamber before introducing inert or other protective gases.
