Sealing a furnace
(OP)
I am in the design of an Argon atmosphere furnace and i need to know how can i do to seal the internal walls of the furnace to avoid the gas leak. Is it enough with the refractory cement? or should i try with another material?.
The max temp the furnace will reach is 1100 degrees celsius.

RE: Sealing a furnace
Information like:
Is this an existing furnace?
Do you plan to use a muffle?
What is the size?
What is the end use?
What type insulation?
Anything else you can think of.
RE: Sealing a furnace
My idea is an electrically heated furnace with the heating elements exposed to the inner atmosphere. The size is: 1.8m height, 2m wide, 2.5m deep, for a 9 cubic meter inner space.
The end use is to give a stress relief to titanium pieces after a welding process and to heat treat steel pieces of many shapes and sizes.
I want to use an insulation blanket of high purity alumina, silica and zirconia.
I will apreciate any help you could give me. By the way, if you know some website to get info about furnaces let me know.

I think your best bet would be to look on the surplus market for furnace and even then you are talking about large sums of money for a furnace of you dimensions.
This is one company that makes suitable furnaces for heat treating Ti.
Comeback if you have further questions.
