【Regarding such issues】 ■ In ultra-high purity oxide powders and ceramic materials, ppm-level impurities of C, H, and O significantly affect physical properties. ■ It is difficult to avoid carbon contamination and reduction reactions from furnace materials in conventional electric furnaces. ■ During high-temperature processing, we want to efficiently remove adsorbed water, CO₂, and residual organic substances generated from within the samples. ■ There are few lab-scale devices capable of reproducibly implementing high-purity processes. 【What can be addressed with a metal furnace】 ■ Degassing, dehydration, and decarbonization treatment in an ultra-high vacuum atmosphere. ■ Reduction of contamination effects from oxygen, carbon, and moisture. ■ Suppression of outgassing from graphite materials and insulation materials. ■ Atmosphere switching between vacuum, Ar, N₂, H₂, etc. ■ Examination of heat treatment conditions for high-purity powders and ceramic materials. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

【Applications and Examples】 ■ Degassing, dehydration, and decarbonization of high-purity oxide powders and ceramics - SiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, HfO₂, La₂O₃, etc. - Reduction of adsorbed water, CO₂, residual organic matter, and carbon-derived components ■ Pre-treatment of oxide target materials and ceramic components - High-purity treatment of sputtering targets, pre-sintering powders, and molded bodies - Degassing, dehydration, and reduction of residual carbon before firing ■ Purification of nitride powders and reduction of residual oxygen - Si₃N₄, AlN, BN, etc. - Examination of conditions in vacuum, Ar, N₂, and H₂ atmospheres ■ Confirmation of conditions before the introduction of high-purity materials - Verification of temperature, achieved vacuum level, holding time, and atmospheric conditions using actual samples *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
