VacuumFurnaces.com is a Q&A community where vacuum furnace product and service suppliers connect with commercial and captive heat treaters to share their practical skills and know-how and to establish valuable relationships around niche topics of expertise with vacuum furnace end-users in operations, production, training, maintenance, marketing, sales, and engineering.
How to control the current for molybdenum heating elements?
First work a little bit "feed forward" and monitor the resistance carefully, since it changes with the temperature of the element. When the resistance is somewhat stabilized: release more power. We have thyristor control units for driving Molibdenum elements. They can also drive Tungestenum, KanthalRead more

We have thyristor control units for driving Molibdenum elements. They can also drive Tungestenum, KanthalSuper, Platinum and Silicium-Carbide (SiC), as well as quartz lamps and short-wave infraled loads.

Yes there is. Check our heatmanager pro system. A flexible control system for 6 (or 12) channels. The system combines both the control & registration in 1 system. So no separate recorder needed. Used by many heat-treaters around the world. See attached the brochure.HeatManagerPro_5.01

Thermocoupe wires stripped and at the end twisted into each other: this where the metals touch is the measurement point. Then the wire is put somewhere around or on the product. Tip: use thermcouple wire with calibration certificate. See: https://cascade.net/en/thermocouple/
