助记提示
1. 音：麻缚，麻覆，用麻布包裹起来；
2. muffle 音“马蜂”→用头巾裹住头躲避马蜂
3. 马弗炉是英文Muffle furnace翻译过来的。Muffle是包裹的意思，furnace是炉子，熔炉的意思。马弗炉在中国的通用叫法有以下几种：电炉、电阻炉、茂福炉、马福炉。马弗炉是一种通用的加热设备，依据外观形状可分为箱式炉、管式炉、坩埚炉。
4. 马弗炉(muffle furnace)的通常有一层厚厚的耐火层和保温层。本来马弗炉是烧气的，燃烧部分和方形炉膛部分是分开的，这种分开或隔焰结构，及其闷的严严实实的炉腔，这个结构叫muffle，所以叫马弗炉。后来虽改为电加热，但始终保留了这个名字。
