Fixed Furnace
In metallurgy, a “fixed furnace” generally refers to a stationary or permanently installed furnace used for specific metallurgical processes. This type of furnace is not portable and is typically designed to serve a specific purpose within a manufacturing or processing facility.
A fixed furnace usually consists of a rectangular box made from heat-resistant materials in which are embedded electric resistance elements. Doors open at each end a traveling bogle allows for loading and unloading of the charge. Furnaces are capable of heating to 1200°C and can normalize and anneal as well as stress relieve. This method is traditional and well-known to most people in the fabrication industry.
