7 kW Melt-spinning System with the Glove Box - VTC-200S-GB

VTC-200S-GB is a benchtop vacuum melt spinning system for preparing amorphous metallic ribbons up to 2000ºC. Air-sensitive samples can be prepared inside the glove box and transferred to the melt-spinning system without exposure to the air via a transfer tank.  With a direct couple with the glove box,  the sample collection process can also be completed inside a glove box.  During melt-spinning, metal ingots are melted via induction heating and propelled by pressurized inert gas. A thin stream of the melt is cast onto a spinning copper drum. The rapid quenching and solidification process enables the alloy forms amorphous ribbons in a few seconds.  SPECIFICATIONS:

For refractory materials, e.g. materials with high melting point (>1200ºC) or low permeability (μ/μ0<100), please consider using BN crucibles with graphite casing for the best performance The equipment also can be modified into a casting and granulating furnace
