DIY Heat Treatment Oven

Finally made a proper heat treatment oven capable of reaching 1000°C (1800°F) drawing "only" 1.7kW.
Links to amazon products can be found here in my affiliate store:
www.amazon.com/shop/blackbear...
Components list:
Isulating bricks J23 rated to 1260°C. (230x110x64mm).
Premixed refractory mortar.
Kanthal A1 wire 20ga (10m).
PID controller.
K-Type Thermocoupple rated to 1250°C.
Solid state relay with heatsink.
12V computer case fan with power supply.
Random steel pieces from the steel scrapyard.
The Kanthal wire I bought is meant to be used in vape pens and has a resistance (R) of 30Ω for my lenght and thickness.
The power draw can be calculated knowing the home mains voltage (225V in my case).
Power draw: P = V x I
Where I is the current flow in ampere: I = V / R = 225 / 30 = 7.5 A
P = 225 x 7.5 = 1687.5 W
Control box designed in Fusion360 and printed with PETG.
Inside dimension are 105x115x450 mm (4x4.5x17.5 inch).
I made the oven this small so that it's easier to heat up and there is no need for more heating element, considering also that my home has a power draw cap of only 2kW.
Now it's time to work some stainless steel!

Black Beard Projects where can I get one of those knives that cut bricks like butter?

[@anticholos196]

Nice work ,im studying mechanics and tools in high school.

[@THEOGGUNSHOW]

Clayton Firth He's cutting high temp fire bricks. They'd cut like that with a butter knife. The bricks aren't very dense and are very fragile.

[@lelearmi6186]

quale è il nome di quei mattoni ?

[@kirvam99]

any saw with a thin kerf will work great on these IFB's (insulated firebrick). I've used olfa knives, files, heal of my trowel etc. to cut them, Once cut , if the cut is ugly just get a scrap piece of brick and rub the two together, just make sure to protect yourself from the dust. Not healthy to breath.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I see more safety concern than usual, let me address some! The frame is grounded and all connection are nice and tight. Someone suggested a door switch to cut power to the heating element with the door open, I will do it asap. Some sort of box around the heating element terminals would be better too. Anyway, I'm the only one using my homemade tools so I'm not worried at all even as is!! Thank you all for the suggestion and preoccupation. Be safe :)

[@oneshotme]

As long as your happy with it is all that matters!! lol

[@xj9779]

Yeah I recommend a door switch, you don't want to touch the life wire with the non insulatet thongs. By the way is the input line cold or does it heat up very much?

[@7duser10]

Hey dude you should consider a fuse inline with the wiring. Because if you short to the frame which you say is grounded.... Just my 2c.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

7dusedr10: if he shorts to the grounded frame, it will trip the trip switch (aka residual current device, ground fault interrupter) in his fuse box, which is designed specifically for this purpose. Now, a trip switch only protects against shorting live to ground/earth, not against shorting live to neutral. The fuse in your fuse box protects against that, but is usually overdimensioned in regards to what your device realistically consumes. So your point is valid: having an appropriately sized one on the device itself is always a good idea.

[@7duser10]

Yes, good point about the RCD, but you assume that he has an RCD, unless you know where he lives :-D. Not all countries mandate them and most only mandated their use in the last 20 years or so. In some places installation is infeasible ie: the UK is a death trap. If he doesn't have one he should buy a plug in one for the garage or wherever he needs it. Fuse will also take the burden off the earth wire gauge. It must to be rated to handle the fault current for the duration it may take to gaurentee that the breaker in your fuse box trips. Normally earth bond testing is something like 20A or 30A for 30s and total impedance must be

[@michaelscott7963]

I have had heating coils break on different things like hairdryers and the such. The hole through the bolt connector you made had never crossed my mind to do. I live with 3 daughters and a wife which means we have a budget item for at least 3 to 4 hair dryers a year. 90% of them fail at the rivet connection at the board. Thanks for the fix.

[@erniew5805]

our clothes dryer heating element the nichrome wire broke . really wore out. i just wrapped the broken ends together a couple times. then i broke down and spent the $30 for a new element

[@evaderknives]

The oven came out nice. I've been thinking about building a smaller oven myself. The one i have now, I built about a year and a half ago, it is AMAZING, but it is so big(9"x9"x18")it takes forever just to heat up. I will say having your own oven opens so many possibilities... Great video, take it easy...

[@ashscott6068]

There's a REALLY detailed build video somewhere that covers everything. It's like 10 parts long and a good few hours. I don't wanna advertise anyone else's channel on this guy's vid, and I don't even know the name of the channel offhand. I THINK it was a big Scandinavian guy, but I don't remember for sure.

[@jandastroy]

That is a really great design, great job man! I was thinking of making something like this but a bit shorter someday but I haven't been able to decide on a PID controller yet. I hope it lasts a long time and is nice and efficient for you. Even at that size it must be pretty heavy once fully assembled.
