Technical Capabilities & Thermal Processing Standards
High-temperature laboratory and industrial furnaces provide controlled thermal environments for materials characterization, loss-on-ignition ashing, sintering of technical ceramics, stress relieving of alloys, and chemical vapor deposition. Manufactured by group company Elite Thermal Systems Ltd. (UK) and Orbit Technologies, these systems integrate multi-layer graded ceramic insulation, silicon carbide or MoSi2 heating elements, and programmable digital ramp-and-soak controllers for uniform temperature distribution up to 1850°C.
Measurement Principles & Technology
- Advanced Heating Element Technology: High-grade Kanthal resistance wire for up to 1200°C; Silicon Carbide (SiC) elements up to 1550°C; Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) for temperatures up to 1850°C.
- Graded Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Low thermal mass vacuum-formed ceramic fiber insulation delivers rapid heat-up rates and minimizes exterior chassis heat loss.
- Controlled Gas Atmosphere: Hermetic quartz or alumina work tubes paired with gas mixing manifolds enable processing under nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, or high vacuum.
- Programmable PID Ramp/Soak Controllers: Multi-segment digital microprocessors ensure precise temperature ramps, dwell times, and controlled cool-down profiles.
