Retort Furnaces: Principles, Design, and Applications
A retort furnace (also called a retort oven) is a type of thermal processing equipment that heats materials in a sealed vessel known as the retort chamber.Unlike conventional furnaces, a retort furnace isolates the workpiece from the heating elements and ambient atmosphere.This allows precise control over temperature, gas composition, and pressure, which is essential in high-purity material synthesis, powder metallurgy, and advanced ceramics.
