Description
We have a selection of ovens, box and tube furnaces capable of heating and sintering, predominantly ceramic materials, between 1000 and 2200 deg C. Gases which can be used with some of these systems include Argon, Nitrogen, compressed air and Helium.
Uses / Applications
Our research focus is to examine degradation of ceramic coatings/layers in harsh environments, applications include: thermal barrier coatings for aeroengines and power generation; ceramic coatings for nuclear industry applications; ceramic layers for battery applications.
Specification
Equipment in use includes:
-
FCT Systems high-temperature sintering furnace
-
Lenton 1700 box furnace
-
Carbolite three-zoned tube furnace TZF1800
