RTP-MS Ultrafast Heating and Pressing Furnace with Up to 2900°C and 100 kgf Pressure in High-Vacuum Chamber
The RTP-MS furnace is engineered for rapid thermal processing tasks requiring extremely fast heating and controlled pressing within a high-vacuum environment. It is particularly suited for sintering small samples where traditional spark plasma sintering (SPS) may be cost-prohibitive or less efficient. The system achieves heating rates as high as 180°C per second, reaching temperatures up to 2900°C, enabling ultrafast densification and material processing.
Samples are processed inside a stainless steel vacuum chamber equipped with a water cooling jacket to maintain thermal stability. The chamber supports vacuum levels better than 1×10⁻⁶ torr, ensuring minimal contamination and oxidation during high-temperature operations. The furnace integrates a digital infrared pyrometer with a temperature range from 1000°C to 3000°C, providing precise temperature control via manual or PID-regulated modes with programmable segments.

대표적인 적용 분야
The RTP-MS furnace is ideal for rapid thermal processing tasks such as flash sintering, ultrafast densification of ceramics, and pressing small solid electrolyte pellets under controlled vacuum conditions. It is well suited for research and development in materials science, especially where cost-effective alternatives to SPS are desired.
구성 및 작동 안내
The standard configuration includes the stainless steel vacuum chamber with water cooling, graphite sheet heaters, manual pressing screw rod, and infrared pyrometer temperature control. Optional upgrades include motorized pressing with PID pressure compensation, tungsten heaters, and vacuum pumps. A water chiller is necessary for operation but must be sourced separately. Pressure may vary with temperature due to thermal expansion effects, and the pressing function can be omitted to reduce cost if not required.
