There are several types of furnaces commonly used in research work, each with its own benefits and limitations. Here are some of the most common types:
Box furnace:
A box furnace is a type of furnace that is used to heat materials in a rectangular chamber. The furnace is usually made of a heat-resistant material such as ceramic or metal, and the material being heated is placed on a tray inside the furnace. Benefits include a wide range of temperatures that can be achieved, typically up to around 1800°C, and a large chamber that can accommodate larger samples. Limitations include poor temperature uniformity and slower heating rates compared to other types of furnaces.
