Isothermal Annealing Furnace

Home  /  Our Products  /  Furnaces  /  Isothermal Annealing Furnace
An Isothermal Annealing Furnace is used to heat treat metals (especially steels and alloys) at a constant temperature — held isothermally — to refine grain structure, reduce hardness, and improve machinability or ductility.
Why Use Isothermal Annealing?
It allows for:
  • More uniform microstructure
  • Better control of mechanical properties
  • Shorter cycle times than full annealing
  • Reduced distortion and residual stress


How the Furnace Works
  • Load the metal workpieces into the furnace.
  • Heat rapidly to the austenitizing temperature (e.g., ~850-950oC for steel).
  • Cool down quickly to the isothermal soak temperature (e.g., ~600-700oC).
  • Hold at that temperature for a defined time (to complete transformation).
  • Cool slowly in the furnace or controlled environment.
Features
  • Precise temp control - Maintains tight isothermal ranges (±2-5oC)
  • Rapid heating - Often with fast-acting burners or coils
  • Controlled cooling - With fans, baffles, or inert gas
  • Insulated chamber - Minimizes heat loss and improves stability
  • Programmable logic controller (PLC) - For temp curves and timing
