Equipment Overview
This equipment combines a “high-temperature atmosphere furnace” and a “gas displacement type glove box apparatus” to melt glass in a reducing atmosphere or vacuum, then remove high-temperature samples, cast them, and prepare samples in a glove box (inert atmosphere) separated from the atmosphere.
feature
- Sample removal (rapid cooling) at temperatures up to 1700°C in an inert atmosphere is possible.
- Suitable for prototyping non-oxide glass (halide glass, chalcogenite glass, etc.)
- In addition to glass, it can be applied to the development of materials affected by water vapor partial pressure.
configuration
- High-temperature atmosphere furnace
- Tabletop Purge Glove Box
- Furnace bottom lifting mechanism
- control panel
