The global vacuum ovens market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. A vacuum oven is an extremely versatile equipment that has applications in laboratory research, engineering, and industry. In vacuum ovens, the process of heat treatment takes place inside an airtight vessel. This enables a vacuum to be drawn inside the vessel. The entire heat-treating procedure can be initiated under vacuum or precisely controlled environments can be introduced.
Heat treating under vacuum can provide numerous advantages such as:
