TF1600X-FS3KW is a horizontal tube furnace with 3KW programmable AC power source designed for exploring the flash- sintering for ceramic materials at a lower cost. The tube furnace comes with 80mm OD alumina tube and a sliding sample fixture, which can preheat sample up to 1600oC. The Sample holder will press electric wire to the sample via ceramic screw to pass through programmable AC power source which is programmable up to 1500W power.Flash-sintering is an new technology which is used widely in the research of solid state electrolyte, SOFC and fero-magnetic amp; Thermo-electric materials.SPECIFICATIONS:

Vacuum Sealing Flangesamp; Sample Fixture	Vacuum Flanges are made of stainless steel which can reach the vacuum to 10-2 torr by mechanical pump and 10-5 torr by turbo pump.Left Side Flange: 、30 mm dia. quatz observation window ?Needle valve with 1/4 NSP connectorRight Side Flange： 、KF25 vacuum port to connect to a vacuum pump 、Two electric wires feedthrough. Wires are made of Platinium with 1 mm diameter 、Needle valve with machanical vacuum guage. 、Sample fixture is built-in the inside flange. 、This flange is slidable to make sample loading easy.
Programmable AC Power Source	The programmable AC power source is to connect the electric wire at the feedthrough at the right side flange. After pre-heating, AC power will pass a sample as programa setting to produce more heat rapindly, which results in sample sintered in high density. The power parameters can be set via included labtop. Power source specifcations ae as the below 、Input Voltage: AC220V±10%, 50/60Hz， single phase 、Power Capacity: 3000 W Max. 、Circuit Type: IGBT, PWM 、Output Voltage： 50V-300V adjustable with ≤1% stability 、Output Frequency: 50/60Hz fixed with ≤0.01% stability 、Protection: Overload, over temperature , and short circus 、PC programmable： Labtop with pre-installed software is included for program setting 、Optional : DC power source 400V/10A is available upon request at the extra cost
Optional Parts	?Anti-Corrosive digital Gaugeup to 10E-5 torr is optional for CVD application (Pic 3) 、You may order multi-channel gas delivery system for DVD or CVD operation ( Pic 4)
Dimensions amp; Weight	、1950L×500 W ×720 H, mm 、150Kg
Warranty	One year limited warranty with lifetime support (Consumable parts such as tubes and o-rings are not covered by the warranty)
