  • This is a comprehensive tutorial on how to build a heat treatment oven. Heat treating ovens are extremely handy for knifes makers since they allow precise, accurate temperature control, which is required for some steels and for repeatability. The heat treating ovens on the market can be expensive, so the goal of this video is to provide you with a full guide on how to build one for yourself!

    Thank you for sharing this! This walkthrough was super helpful and the equipment list is such a great resource. I created a parallel build and found that making the channels in the fire brick with tight tolerance for my coil diameter caused my bricks to crack when the Kanthal expanded. Maybe a lesson learned that could help other viewers.

  • @martinskn
    @martinskn Před 2 lety +14

    Nice build - really excellent result, and very good and detailed description. Just a note for any one building one. There is no point in using two SSRs - one for each end of the coil, when you are on a single phase. The current you run through one is the same current you run through the other. You just get double the voltage drop over the SSRs (which is probably insignificant in this case), but main point is no benefit and twice the cost and hassle of wiring. And as noted by others, no reason to fuse the PID with a big fuse separately. The manufactorers pdf manual for the controller has a wiring suggestion for a heater build that should be followed - it uses the correct wiring with regards to fusing and using one SSR.

    • @dieSpinnt
      @dieSpinnt Před rokem +2

      Yeah, a wonderful project:) And you are absolutely correct with your analysis: The wiring is SERIAL, one net-loop, so no need for two silicon state relays.
      Just some engineering background (and advice, nobody asked for **g** ): Red Beard says something like "... a fuse to protect the PID [regulator] ...". That fuse should then be dimensioned to the max input current of the device, denoted by the datasheet. For the protection of normal devices 1.1 to 1.2 x nominal current / slow blowing fuse. Or to protect semiconductor devices (like SSRs) with 1.2 to 1.5 nominal current but with fast blowing or semiconductor rated fuse(Ballpark numbers, if present use the values specified by the manufacturer = RTFM:) ). But for such a small and relatively simple (in contrast to a complex) device? After all, also those fuses are ADDITIONAL to the ones he already wired in, which (the background part: ) are fuses to protect the WIRING! Like in your house-installation. They serve the purpose that in the event of a short circuit (heating element or regulator or the wiring itself or some dumb human juggling a screwdriver ...), the entire wiring does not turn into a fire hazard/heating element itself. The fuses must therefore be designed according to the conductor cross-section and thus the rated current. If the/a secondary fuse is dimensioned as a device protection fuse, then the correct value for the special device must also be selected. Anything in between, or "by feel" doesn't make any sense at all:) Just my (and by the basics of electrical design) 2 Amps ... I meant cents.
      About Cable Glands: I found it wonderful, that he works with cable glands. That is professional. But ... cable glands are for ONE cable, each[1]. The great thing about them is the screwable and totally sealing strain relief. If you use two cables or even three .... then you can omit those things. And please don't say anyone DUCT TAPE. We have enough plonkers here, who shoot themselves in the foot, regularly on CZcams:)
      [1] That solves also the mystery, why they come in different sizes ... :P
      About Thermoelements: Whats positive and what is negative? No needs to speculate. Red Beard has mentioned his "high quality super duper multimeter". USE IT! Use a heat gun and measure the output voltage of the element. Then you KNOW!:) (Also good advice for dogs and color blind people, hehe)

    Really great built video! Thank you for putting this up. I'm going to build an oven for aluminum casting and this will be a great help. Love the idea of using a benchtop drill press as an overhead router for the bricks - that's genius actually. If you used a regular router or router table all that silicon dioxide dust would probably completely destroy the router. But with the drill press, the motor and bearings are mostly out of the way. Such a good idea!

    Awesome tutorial, I´ve already made my own oven, but for me the main problem was the fire bricks. I can only find here in Brazil refratary bricks that were solids as a rock and to cut them were very difficult. I used only one SSR and after 10 min it melts, so I used a air cooler.

    Really nice build on that oven. I just finished building mine about 2 weeks ago and although not as aesthetically finished as yours it does the job. I built mine with inside dimensions of width 6" x height 5.5" x depth 22.5". Wanted to be able to heat treat the camp choppers I make. Was able to do it for just under $500. Most expensive parts were the bricks and the angle iron since I didn't have any angle on hand. I used an Inkbird PID which seems to work quite well. I am having issues with the crappy hinge I used for the door so will have to go with something like you used. Looks a lot more sturdy. Again great build.

    I've been doing automotive and industrial wiring for nearly 20 years now. When in doubt on wire size, always go bigger. It leaves room later to expand the part/machine and it guarantees smooth operation.

    When I made my muffle furnace, 35 years ago, I just used a Joiners hand saw to cut the bricks and the left-over pieces were useful for filling-in intricate areas of the brick-work. I did not use any cement, just used staggered gap brick laying and double brick walls. To complement the structure, I used refractory insulating blanket around the bricks and then covered the structure with 0.100" thick hot rolled steel plate with steel angle for the frame.

    Amazing video! I plan on making a control box this summer with an Arduino, and additional parts. A quick tip for those making your coils at home. For a more accurate reading on callipers, you should use the tips of your calliper’s lower jaws. That point is the most accurate due to the slight taper in the jaws.

    A tip for cutting the flashing or any sheet metal. Lay it down flat and use a straight edge and sharp utility knife and make a couple passes scoring it and then bend it and it will break perfectly. It basically looks like a factory edge. You don't have to cut nearly as deep into it as might think. I've done it with steel and aluminum. You can use a brake to bend and snap if you have one available. I do aluminum flashing on exterior trim which is how I learned this trick.
    It's amazing how you can make something like this without a bunch of super expensive tools. I thought that drill press was some really high end model until I looked it up and saw that it's very reasonably priced. I have a similar sized one from Harbor Freight but that one looks nicer to me. This looks like a lot of work, but totally worth it with the price of pre made ones.

    This is an exceptionally nice build for a DIY effort, and I could see this being ever so slightly modified for a fully professional outfit. Man, nice job!
    I also went with an Auber PID though the next stage up that has a USB function so you can program on the PC and save your ramps and cools. Doing it directly through the PID isn't impossible, but having a folder of easily accessible and swappable profiles that you can add more functionality is a nice feature to have for down the road. My oven is a bit of an oddball as it's design is for a very large crucible and a reduced oxygen environment that can heat treat specific materials, graphitize, smelt, etc.

  • @Rob_65
    @Rob_65 Před 2 lety

    Nice detailed description.
    Just a safety warning regarding the door switch. You mentioned in the beginning that you did this to prevent possible electrocution. But you may never assume that the SSR provides full electrical isolation and you should always use a relay with mechanical contacts to switch both sides of the coil off.
    For anyone building this: if you buy a PID controller that is different from the one used, make sure it is a controller with an electrical output for SSR use. I originally bought a PID controller with a relay contact and this only allows for slow switching. The SSR plug-in unit I had to buy for that PID controller enables faster switching resulting in a more stable temperature.
