GSL-1600X-FS3KW is a horizontal tube furnace with a 3KW programmable AC power source designed for exploring the flash- sintering for ceramic materials at a lower cost. The tube furnace comes with an 80mm OD alumina tube and a sliding sample fixture, which can preheat sample up to 1600oC. The Sample holder will press electric wire to the sample via a ceramic screw to pass through a programmable AC power source which is programmable up to 1500W power.
Flash-sintering is a new technology that is used widely in the research of solid-state electrolyte, SOFC, and magnetic & Thermo-electric materials.

Vacuum Sealing Flanges & Sample Fixture
|
Vacuum Flanges are made of stainless steel which can reach the vacuum to 10-2 torr by mechanical pump and 10-5 torr by turbopump.(Please check the installation instruction at the Operation Video column) Left Side Flange:
- 30 mm dia. quartz observation window
- Needle valve with 1/4 NSP connector
Right Side Flange
- KF25 vacuum port to connect to a vacuum pump
- Two electric wires feed through. Wires are made of Platinium with 1 mm diameter
- Needle valve with mechanical vacuum gauge.
- The sample fixture is built-in in the inside flange.
- This flange is slidable to make sample loading easy.
|
Programmable AC Power Source
|
The programmable AC power source is to connect the electric wire at the feedthrough at the right side flange. After pre-heating, AC power will pass a sample as a program set to produce more heat rapidly, which results in a sample sintered in high density. The power parameters can be set via included laptop. Power source specifications ae as the below
- Input Voltage: AC220V±10%, 50/60Hz single phase
- Power Capacity: 3000 W Max.
- Circuit Type: IGBT, PWM
- Output Voltage 50V-300V adjustable with ≤1% stability
- Output Frequency: 50/60Hz fixed with ≤0.01% stability
- Protection: Overload, over-temperature, and short circus
- PC programmable Laptop with pre-installed software is included for program setting
- Optional: DC power source 400V/10A is available upon request at the extra cost
