Using the IR series high-temperature observation furnace for demonstrations: <<Heating/Atmosphere Control/Oxidation Experiments>> Metals/Solders/Ceramics/Solder/Glass, etc.

▼Key Points▼ 1. Insights for investigating and clarifying the causes of issues during the heating process can be obtained. 2. Useful for analyzing the mechanisms of material reactions and behaviors at high temperatures. 3. Changes under various temperature control conditions, such as rapid heating and rapid cooling, can be confirmed. ▮What is the IR Series? It is a furnace that can heat by efficiently concentrating infrared rays emitted from a near-infrared lamp, which are reflected by the gold plating on the furnace walls, onto the heating area in the center of the furnace. (For details, please refer to the IR Image Furnace feature page.) ▮Examples of Test Subjects Metals / Filler materials / Ceramics / Solder / Glass, etc. ▮Examples of Conducted Tests Heating / Atmosphere manipulation / Oxidation experiments, etc. ▮Examples of Utilization High-temperature heat treatment / Video confirmation of behaviors during firing (microscopic level) For research and development, troubleshooting, and yield improvement. *Tests involving heating only are also accepted. The experimental temperature may vary depending on the thermal capacity of the test specimen.* *There may be variations depending on sample size and test conditions.* Other experimental examples are also available on the official YouTube channel!

"Heating and Cooling Observation Device MHO-300-2" Just place it on your microscope! Compact and slim / Atmosphere control available.

Simply place it on the stage of your microscope or micro-scope to observe changes from -100°C to 300°C in real-time. In a hermetically sealed furnace, heating and cooling can be performed under various vacuum inert gas atmospheres. 【Points】 ▮ Flexible temperature control performance With the dedicated software "TeCSS," temperature programming and monitoring can be easily done (it can also be operated independently with the temperature controller). Additionally, it displays temperature, time, and scale, and allows for in-situ image capture and storage synchronized with actual temperature records using the dedicated video recording software "HiTOS." By adding a cooling mechanism, it can also accommodate -100°C. ▮ Compact and user-friendly design This heating and cooling stage is designed to be small and thin, making it easy to reproduce special conditions. In addition to observation applications under microscopes or micro-scopes, it can also be repurposed for analytical instruments such as laser microscopes, Raman spectroscopy, and micro-spectroscopy. ▮ Atmosphere control with vacuum chamber structure Due to its vacuum chamber structure, heating and cooling can be performed under vacuum inert gas atmospheres. It also allows for the exhaust of vapors such as degassed materials vaporized by heating, and a XY slideable specimen holder makes it easy to introduce and remove prepared samples.

The "Mechanical Stitch Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
