What is muffle furnace used for?
muffle furnace is a laboratory equipment used for high-temperature heating of materials. It’s commonly employed for processes like sintering, calcination, drying, or burning, often in an oxygen-free or low-oxygen atmosphere. The furnace features an enclosed chamber (referred to as the muffle) where samples are placed and subjected to high temperatures, with temperature control capability. This equipment finds applications in fields such as chemistry, materials science, metallurgy, and ceramics industries.

What is the difference between a muffle furnace and an oven?
A muffle furnace is like a super-hot oven used for special jobs in labs and factories. It can heat things way hotter than your kitchen oven—up to over 1800°C! The main difference is that it has a special lining inside (called a muffle) that keeps the stuff being heated away from the heating elements. This protects the stuff from getting contaminated and ensures it heats up evenly.
On the other hand, an oven is what you have in your kitchen. It’s for cooking and baking your favorite dishes. Ovens come in different types, like conventional or microwave, and they usually don’t get as hot as muffle furnaces. They’re designed to heat up food, not industrial stuff.
Muffle furnaces are for serious heating jobs in labs and factories, while ovens are for cooking yummy meals at home.
