heat treatment oven
heat treatment oven
(OP)
i am attempting to build a heat treat oven and i am have some difficulties.
i am looking at it to be 13"^3 that can reach 1800 F. i found that Kanthal wire that can go up to 2300ish F, but it says not to use it in an area greater than 12."
should i need to worry about this?
and is there a good way to determine what temperature i will get inside the oven?

RE: heat treatment oven
2. Get the Kanthal handbook
3. wind your own elements using a 1/4" rod in a variable speed drill - wear leather gloves
4. Ceramic kilns use cones - cone melts and shuts the oven off
5. We used to use thermocouples and meters - not very accurate and the ends burned off the thermocouples. Try an instrumentors supply somewhere.
Call if you have questions - We used about 15 of these for close to 20 years.
