MSK-TH-04FA Flame Assisted Spray Pyrolysis Equipment with 6″x6″ Heating Plate and Motorized XY Platform for Uniform Thin Film Coating
The MSK-TH-04FA is engineered to support advanced research in improving surface coatings on metallic alloys and ceramic substrates. It enables the deposition of thin films by atomizing a chemical solution and spraying it onto a heated substrate, where thermal and chemical reactions form the desired compound. This system is particularly suited for oxide film deposition such as Al2O3, ZnO, and complex solid solutions like ZnO-MgO and ZrO2-Y2O3 on materials including amorphous silica and nickel-based superalloys.
The equipment employs flame-assisted spray pyrolysis, where the atomized solution is heated by an oxy-LPG flame before deposition. The flame size and intensity are manually controlled via integrated gas flow meters and ignition systems. The substrate rests on a 175 mm by 175 mm heating plate capable of reaching temperatures up to 500°C, mounted on a motorized XY platform that moves the substrate to ensure uniform coating coverage. The solution dispensing rate and substrate motion are controlled through dedicated software on a connected computer.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This equipment is ideal for depositing oxide thin films on metal and ceramic substrates for research in surface modification, coating uniformity, and thin film properties. It is especially suited for materials such as Al2O3, ZnO, ZnO-MgO solid solutions, and ZrO2-Y2O3 coatings on substrates like amorphous silica and nickel-based superalloys.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The system includes a positive displacement syringe pump, compressed air spray nozzle, motorized XY platform, heating plate, integrated gas flow meters, and automatic ignition system. Oxygen and LPG gases must be supplied by the user. Continuous water cooling for the flame head is mandatory to maintain safe operation. Operators must be trained in handling flammable LPG gas and follow safety protocols. The equipment allows flame-assisted and flame-free spray pyrolysis by controlling the compressed air and flame ignition independently. Optional computer hardware (laptop or Microsoft Surface Pro) with pre-installed control software is available for process management.
