How to Use a Rocking Hydrogen Atmosphere Furnace for Reducing Copper Powder, Iron Powder, and Other High-Purity Metal Powders

11/26/2025 No Comments

Hydrogen reduction is one of the most important processes in metal powder production and purification. For researchers working with copper powder, iron powder, and other high-purity metal or alloy particles, achieving a stable, uniform, and safe reducing atmosphere is essential. A swing (rocking) hydrogen atmosphere furnace provides a more efficient and homogeneous heat-treatment environment compared with fixed-bed reduction furnaces, making it widely used in laboratories, pilot lines, and materials R&D.
