Analysis Of Common Problems With The Sintering Furnace Mesh Belt

In industrial production, the mesh belt of sintering furnaces plays a crucial role.It not only carries the materials during the sintering process, but is also a key factor in ensuring the smoothness of the production process and product quality.However, as the Compound Balanced Mesh Belt usually operates under harsh conditions of high temperature and high load, its stability and durability are facing severe tests.This article will delve into the common problems that may be encountered in the practical application of Compound Balanced Mesh Belt and provide a series of effective solutions to help related industries improve production efficiency and product quality.

1. Abnormal extension and elongation

Creep is the slow deformation of materials under continuous stress, which is particularly evident in high-temperature environments.For sintering Compound Balanced Mesh Belt, creep may cause the material to extend excessively, thereby affecting its load-bearing capacity for workpieces.

2. The mesh belt deviates from the serpentine shape

Deviation occurs when the mesh belt does not run along the center line along the length of the furnace. This might be caused by installation errors, uneven wear of the support rollers, or uneven stretching of the mesh belt itself.

3. Mesh belt breakage

Under the dual effects of high temperature and high mechanical stress, the Compound Balanced Mesh Belt may break at weak points, which is usually related to material fatigue and overloading operation.

4. Unstable mesh belt structure

The structural stability of the Compound Balanced Mesh Belt directly affects its load-bearing capacity and service life.If the mesh belt is not woven evenly or the material has poor thermal stability, it will cause deformation at high temperatures.

5. Insufficient tensile strength of the mesh belt

Insufficient tensile strength can cause the mesh belt to break under high loads, which is usually related to the intrinsic quality of the material.

6. Improper maintenance

Lack of regular inspection and maintenance will accelerate the wear of the mesh belt, leading to an increase in the failure rate.

7. Heat loss caused by improper design:

If the design of the sintering furnace does not fully take thermal efficiency into account, it may lead to uneven heat distribution, affect sintering efficiency and increase energy consumption.

Solution strategy

1. The material selection is correct

Sintering furnaces usually operate in high-temperature environments, so the mesh belt material must be able to withstand long-term exposure to high temperatures without losing its mechanical properties.

SUS314 stainless steel is an alloy material containing a high amount of chromium and a certain amount of nickel. It has excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and is suitable for use in sintering furnace mesh belts.

2. Installation standards:

The installation of the sintering Compound Balanced Mesh Belt must be precise and comply with a series of strict standards to ensure its stability and long service life in high-temperature and high-load environments.This includes precise measurement of the mesh belt and furnace chamber, ensuring horizontal calibration, correctly positioning the tension, stabilizing the drive unit and evenly distributing the support rollers.At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the quality of the edge of the mesh belt and the welding points.

4. The mesh belt specifications are appropriate

To select the appropriate specification of sintering furnace mesh belt, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the load requirements, working temperature, internal dimensions of the sintering furnace and the characteristics of the sintered workpieces, and choose the mesh belt width, length, mesh size, edge type, thickness and material that match these conditions.

5. Regular inspection and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of the sintering furnace mesh belt are key practices to ensure its reliability and extend its service life.This includes establishing and following a comprehensive maintenance plan, inspecting and adjusting the tension of the mesh belt, as well as conducting a detailed review of the welding points and edge conditions.In addition, regularly clean the mesh belt and maintain the lubrication system to keep the sintering furnace mesh belt in the best performance and production efficiency.

The stable operation of the Compound Balanced Mesh Belt is crucial to the success of the entire sintering process.By adopting the correct material selection, precise installation standards, appropriate mesh belt specifications, as well as regular inspection and maintenance, we can significantly enhance the reliability of the sintering furnace mesh belt, reduce the occurrence of faults, and ensure the stable operation of the sintering furnace.This not only can enhance production efficiency, but also save costs in the long run and improve the market competitiveness of enterprises.It is hoped that this article can provide practical references and guidance for engineers and technicians in related fields.
