GSL-1600X-FS3KW is a flash sintering tube furnace with a 3KW programmable AC power source designed for exploring the electrical-assisted sintering for ceramic materials. The tube furnace comes with an 80mm OD alumina tube and a sliding sample fixture, which can preheat the sample up to 1600°C. The ceramic sample holder with platinum wires allows to pass current up to 208 V, 15 A.Â

Vacuum Sealing Flanges & Sample Fixture
Â
|
Vacuum Flanges are made of stainless steel, which can reach the vacuum to 10-2 torr using a mechanical pump. Left Side Flange:
- 30 mm dia. quartz observation window
- Â Needle valve with 1/4 NSP connector
Right Side Flange
- KF25 vacuum port to connect to a vacuum pump
- Two electric wires feedthrough. Wires are made of Ă1 mm platinumÂ
- Needle valve with mechanical vacuum gauge.
- The sample fixture is built into 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 voltage and current to produce an electric field, which results in a sample sintered in high density. The power parameters can be set via the included laptop. Power source specifications are as follows
- Input Voltage: AC220V±10%, 50/60Hz single phase
- Power Capacity: 3000 W Max.
- Output Voltage 20V - 208 VAC adjustable with â€1% stability
- Protection: Overload, over-temperature, and short circuit
- DC power supply is available upon request.
