GSL-1200X-MGI-6-H2 High-Cleanliness 6-Channel Hydrogen Furnace with 1200°C Max Temperature for High-Throughput Annealing
The GSL-1200X-MGI-6-H2 furnace is engineered to support high-throughput heat treatment processes requiring stringent cleanliness and precise temperature control. It is particularly suited for sintering, melting, and analysis of metals, non-metals, and their compounds under controlled atmospheres including vacuum, hydrogen, and ambient air. This furnace is ideal for research institutions, universities, and industrial labs focusing on quality testing and advanced material processing.
Featuring a stainless steel chamber insulated with high-purity alumina fiber and alumina-coated surfaces, the furnace maintains an internal cleanliness level meeting US FED STD 209E Class 100 standards. Its six independent heating channels allow simultaneous processing of multiple samples at different temperatures, enhancing throughput and experimental flexibility. The furnace tube diameter is 60 mm, with options for quartz, nickel-based alloy, or zirconium alloy tubes depending on temperature and corrosion resistance requirements.
Key Features
- Ultra-clean internal environment with stainless steel chamber and thermal insulation ensuring Class 100 cleanliness.

It supports research and development in material science, semiconductor processing, and advanced manufacturing where controlled hydrogen or vacuum atmospheres are critical.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The furnace includes six independent gas inlet and outlet systems with water-cooled flanges for safe operation under hydrogen atmospheres. Optional accessories include pressure sensors, electromagnetic pressure relief valves, hydrogen detectors (fixed or portable), vacuum pumps (mechanical or molecular), and a combustible gas treatment device for enhanced safety. The control system allows PC-based programming of temperature profiles, real-time monitoring, and automated purging cycles to maintain optimal atmosphere conditions. Proper inert gas circulation in the insulation layer prevents hydrogen accumulation and explosion risks. Users should ensure regular maintenance of seals and safety devices to guarantee reliable operation.
