In Shanghai's automotive gear factories, Qingpu agricultural machinery parts workshops, and Songjiang precision hardware bases, the core value of iron-based powder vacuum sintering furnaces has never been limited to "vacuum extraction + heating" — iron-based gearboxes for automobiles require "stable vacuum below 1Pa throughout the process"; even a 0.5Pa fluctuation may cause oxidation on the gear surface and reduce load-bearing life. Iron-based bearings for agricultural machinery need "precise constant temperature of 900℃ + furnace temperature uniformity of ±2℃"; otherwise, uneven density will accelerate wear during field operations. Not to mention the common constraints of narrow doorways (within 3 meters) in Shanghai's old workshops and energy consumption requirements under the "dual-carbon" policy, general-purpose vacuum sintering furnaces often trap enterprises in dilemmas such as "equipment getting stuck in space upon delivery" and "batch scrapping of gears due to oxidation".

With over 10 years of in-depth experience in the iron-based powder thermal engineering field, Shanghai Guanding Industrial Equipment does not regard iron-based powder vacuum sintering furnaces as "variants of general-purpose vacuum equipment". Instead, it takes the characteristics of "iron-based powder being sensitive to oxidation and having high density requirements" as the core, and combines the constraints of Shanghai's industrial scenarios to create customized Shanghai Iron-Based Powder Vacuum Sintering Furnaces featuring "stable vacuum control + precise temperature control + flexible space + environmental compliance". This enables the equipment to proactively adapt to the production of iron-based parts, rather than forcing production to adapt to the equipment.

I. Three Core Requirements for Iron-Based Powder Vacuum Sintering: Why Are General-Purpose Furnaces Unable to Meet Standards?

The sintering quality of iron-based powder depends on three core requirements: "oxidation prevention, density control, and scenario adaptation" — which are exactly the shortcomings of general-purpose vacuum sintering furnaces. Their "one-size-fits-all" design completely ignores the characteristics of iron-based powder and the particularities of Shanghai's industry, leading to prominent production contradictions:

1. Requirement 1: Oxidation Prevention — Need for "Stable Vacuum Throughout the Process" Rather Than "Instant Ultimate Vacuum"

Iron-based powder is highly prone to reacting with residual oxygen in the sintering temperature range of 850-950℃, forming an Fe₂O₃ oxide layer that directly affects the hardness and load-bearing performance of parts. Technical Specifications for Powder Metallurgy Sintering Furnaces (JB/T 10966-2010) clearly stipulates that "the fluctuation of vacuum degree throughout the sintering process of iron-based powder shall be ≤ ±0.5Pa", and the vacuum holding time must cover the entire cycle of "temperature rise - constant temperature - temperature drop".

2. Requirement 2: Density Control — Need for "Precise Constant Temperature + Uniform Heating" Rather Than "Single-Section Fixed Temperature Control"

The density of iron-based parts (such as gears and bearings) directly determines their mechanical properties. Technical Requirements for Metal Powder Sintered Parts (GB/T 19078-2009) specifies that "the sintered density of iron-based gears for automobiles shall be ≥ 6.8g/cm³", which requires the sintering furnace to meet "precise constant temperature of 900℃ ± 5℃" and "furnace temperature difference ≤ ±2℃".

II. Shanghai Guanding Iron-Based Powder Vacuum Sintering Furnace: Customized Design to Address Iron-Based Pain Points

Taking "iron-based powder characteristics + Shanghai scenarios" as the design anchor, Guanding creates customized solutions for the three core requirements, ensuring that each iron-based powder vacuum sintering furnace "guarantees quality immediately after installation":

1. Stable Vacuum Control System: From "Instant Compliance" to "Oxygen Isolation Throughout the Process", in Line with JB/T Standards

To meet the oxidation prevention needs of iron-based powder, Guanding optimizes the vacuum system:

• Dual-Stage Pump Set Linked Pressure Control: Adopts a "roots pump + molecular pump" dual-stage vacuum unit with an ultimate vacuum level that meets industrial requirements. Equipped with a high-precision vacuum sensor, when the vacuum fluctuation exceeds the limit, a backup pump is automatically activated for supplementary pumping, ensuring stable vacuum throughout the "temperature rise - constant temperature - temperature drop" process;

• High-Temperature Resistant Sealing Structure: The furnace flange uses a copper-clad graphite gasket, and the furnace chamber interface is treated with "double sealing + high-temperature sealant" to prevent leakage at high temperatures;

• Oxidation Early Warning Protection: A pre-installed online oxygen content monitoring module automatically shuts down the equipment and triggers an alarm when the oxygen content in the furnace exceeds the limit, avoiding batch oxidation of parts.

2. Precise Temperature Control Module: Constant Temperature + Uniform Temperature to Ensure Iron-Based Density

To meet the density control needs of iron-based powder, Guanding builds a "double-precision" temperature control system:

• Programmable Constant Temperature Control: Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, it can store multiple sets of iron-based exclusive sintering curves. The heating rate is adjustable, and the constant temperature precision meets the requirements, in line with GB/T 19078-2009 for density;

• Multi-Zone Uniform Heating: The furnace body is divided into 3 independent heating zones (upper, middle, and lower). Each zone is equipped with a Class A platinum resistance sensor, and the furnace temperature difference is controlled through PID intelligent temperature control. A high-temperature circulation fan and an annular deflector are installed inside the furnace to optimize the hot air path and avoid local overheating.

III. Shanghai Local "Iron-Based Exclusive Services": Full-Cycle Guarantee from Powder to Parts

The "quality guarantee" of iron-based powder vacuum sintering furnaces is inseparable from in-depth understanding of iron-based characteristics and rapid response of Shanghai local services. Relying on its production base in Songjiang, Guanding provides "iron-based exclusive" services to avoid disconnection between equipment and production:

1. Pre-Sales: Iron-Based Characteristic Research to Accurately Identify Needs

The technical team visits the site within 24 hours. They not only measure the workshop space (doorway, floor height, load-bearing capacity) but also collect the customer's iron-based powder samples (such as Fe-Cu-C, Fe-Ni-Mo), analyze the powder carbon content and alloy element proportion, and issue the Shanghai Iron-Based Powder Vacuum Sintering Furnace Adaptation Report in accordance with JB/T 10966-2010, clarifying vacuum parameters, temperature control curves, and environmental protection configurations.

2. In-Sales: Iron-Based Test Sintering Verification, Production Only After Meeting Standards

In Guanding's Songjiang laboratory, "small-batch test sintering" is conducted using the customer's iron-based powder: standard gear samples are pressed, and the oxidation rate, density, and hardness after sintering are tested. The Iron-Based Powder Sintering Test Report is issued, and equipment production is only initiated after the customer confirms that the results meet expectations.

3. Post-Sales: Local Rapid Response to Avoid Production Delays

Shanghai-based customers enjoy on-site services. If failures occur in the vacuum system or temperature control module, engineers arrive quickly for repairs; "iron-based equipment health checks" are provided, including vacuum calibration, heating zone temperature difference detection, and gasket aging inspection.

When selecting a Shanghai Iron-Based Powder Vacuum Sintering Furnace, the key is to "find a partner who understands iron-based characteristics and can adapt to local scenarios". For 10 years, Guanding has only focused on "iron-based exclusive" vacuum sintering furnaces, rather than making do with general-purpose models. From oxidation prevention of iron-based powder to density guarantee of parts and space adaptation of old workshops, each piece of equipment is tailored to the needs of Shanghai enterprises.
