Description
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.

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
