OPERATING PRINCIPLE

An automated transfer system moves the sample precisely between the heating and cooling zones. This enables an extremely rapid transition from the process temperature to the quenching stage without removing the component and while continuously maintaining a controlled process atmosphere, such as inert gas or vacuum.

This significantly improves process reliability and component quality.

Possible sample-holder materials include:

  • Graphite
  • Inconel
  • APM

PROCESS SEQUENCE

  1. Evacuation and subsequent purging of the process chamber
  2. Heating with a controlled temperature ramp
  3. Optional holding at the target temperature
  4. Quenching by transferring the sample between zones
  5. Purging of the process chamber

KEY BENEFITS

  • Combines multiple process steps in a single system
  • Fast and controlled quenching cycles
  • High reproducibility through automation
  • Suitable for different process-gas atmospheres, including reactive gases
  • Controlled process atmosphere maintained in both zones
