A diffusion furnace is a type of furnace that is used to diffuse a material onto the surface of another material. The process of diffusion involves the movement of atoms or molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This can be done by heating the two materials to a high temperature so that the atoms or molecules can move more easily, or by using a chemical reaction to create a gradient between the two materials.Diffusion furnaces are used in a variety of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, metallurgy, and glassmaking. They are also used in research laboratories to study the properties of materials.
