The general purpose annealing furnace can be used for "dirty" processing over a temperature range of 400-1025C **Run time is charged at the general equipment rate for the first hour of the run plus $10 /hr for time exceeding one hour. Standard gases plumbed to the furnace include: oxygen, forming gas, nitrogen and argon. To ensure the best use of this tool and to minimize cross contamination please consult with a staff member before using the furnace.

A small muffle furnace plumbed with the same gases is co-located is with the 4” furnace. It is used for ZnO work. The rate for this furnace is the same.

If you plan to bring external materials into the lab, please notify the FabLab staff to ensure proper safety protocols and any equipment arrangements can be made ahead of your reservation. Please submit an External Materials Request form for each material you will bring.
