1100C High Pressure Rocking Tube Furnace with 2 Inch Super Alloy Processing Tube for Material Synthesis

Product Overview

This high-performance thermal processing system is engineered for advanced material science applications requiring the simultaneous application of high temperature, high pressure, and mechanical agitation. By integrating a three-zone heating architecture with a specialized rocking mechanism, the equipment ensures exceptional homogeneity during the melting of alloys or the synthesis of compounds that are prone to evaporation under standard atmospheric conditions. This makes it an indispensable tool for laboratories focusing on volatile material synthesis and specialized crystal growth.

Designed for rigorous industrial R&D environments, this system excels in processing materials under both inert gas and oxygen environments. The core of the equipment is a high-strength super-alloy processing tube capable of maintaining structural integrity at temperatures up to 1100ºC while under significant internal pressure. This unique combination of capabilities allows researchers to explore phase diagrams and material behaviors that are impossible to reach in conventional tube furnaces, providing a significant competitive advantage in advanced metallurgy and chemical engineering.

Reliability and consistency are the cornerstones of this equipment's design. Featuring a split-able furnace body for easy tube access and a separate control console for operator safety, the unit is built to withstand the demanding cycles of industrial heat treatment. The inclusion of high-precision PID controllers and a robust mechanical drive system ensures that every process is repeatable and documented, meeting the stringent quality standards required for modern material certification and pilot-scale production.

Key Features

• Nickel-Based Super-alloy Tube: The processing chamber is constructed from GH747 super-alloy, specifically selected for its superior creep resistance and oxidation stability at high temperatures, allowing for safe operation under high-pressure conditions.
• Precision Three-Zone Heating: The furnace involves three independently controlled heating zones, enabling the creation of precise thermal gradients or an extended constant temperature zone of 280 mm with ±1°C accuracy.
• Automated Rocking Mechanism: An integrated 150W DC gear motor facilitates a rocking angle of -30º to +90º, ensuring mechanical mixing of the melt and preventing sedimentation or segregation in complex alloy systems.
• High-Pressure Capability: Engineered for extreme environments, the system supports internal gas pressures up to 40 bar at lower temperatures and remains operational at 8 bar even at the 1100ºC peak limit.
• Advanced Thermal Regulation: Utilizing FA-YD518P-AG digital controllers, the system offers 30-segment programming with auto-tune functionality for precise ramping, dwelling, and cooling cycles.
• Separated Safety Control Unit: For enhanced operator protection, all pressure, temperature, and rocking parameters are managed via a remote touch-screen panel, isolating the user from the high-temperature zone.
• Dual Flange Integration: The inclusion of both high-pressure CF flanges with copper O-rings and constant-pressure KF adaptors provides flexibility for different sealing requirements and gas handling configurations.
• Integrated Gas Filtration: A core funnel filter and external cold trap protect the exhaust system and maintain high purity levels by capturing condensable vapors before they exit the processing zone.
• Robust Mechanical Stability: The rocking stage is built to support the furnace weight while maintaining smooth, adjustable frequency ranges from 0.1 to 1 time per minute for consistent processing.
