CHAMBER AND HOT ZONE
The Top Loading Hot Zone chamber is cylindrical in shape and is manufactured from double-walled stainless steel. The entire chamber is welded and polished for vacuum integrity and an ergonomic appearance.
Numerous chamber ports are supplied for sensors, vacuum, gas, hot zone power and a sight window. The standard hot zone is made from Tungsten and Molybdenum (different materials available), with 7 shield layers to reduce power loss. The specimen rests on a tungsten hearth. Power connections to the heating elements are secluded on the bottom of the chamber and are water-cooled
This furnace system was designed to operate in several positive pressure gas environments as well as partial pressures (below atmosphere) of gas such as dry or wet Hydrogen, Dissociated Ammonia, Nitrogen or Argon
