サーモニックENG

Corresponds to the exploration of firing conditions in the research and development and prototype stages.

Are you considering firing tests of small sample sizes in the research and development or prototype stage? In the early stages of material development, there are often cases where large sample sizes cannot be prepared. Even in such cases, by using small samples and varying factors such as temperature, holding time, heating rate, atmosphere, and pressure, you can identify issues related to firing feasibility, reactivity, recoverability, and equipment implementation. At Thermonik ENG, we select the appropriate type of furnace from options such as multi-atmosphere furnaces, tube furnaces, metal furnaces, carbon furnaces, and chlorine furnaces based on the sample size, shape, and processing purpose, and connect the test results to the consideration of equipment specifications. - For exploring conditions in the research and development or prototype stage - For firing evaluation of small powders, molded bodies, substrates, jigs, and components - For initial considerations of temperature, atmosphere, and processing time - For confirming firing feasibility before equipment installation

Applications/Examples of results

Recommended for such considerations. ■ Firing tests of small quantity samples in the research and development or prototype stage ■ Initial evaluation of powders, molded bodies, pellets, substrates, jigs, and components ■ Exploration of conditions for firing, heat treatment, debinding, reduction, oxidation, nitriding, degassing, and impurity removal ■ Confirmation of reactions in special atmospheres such as Air, N₂, Ar, H₂, NH₃, vacuum, humidified environments, Cl₂, HCl, etc. ■ Verification of the feasibility of firing at stages where sample quantities are limited ■ Selection of furnace types, specification considerations, and scale-up decisions before equipment installation ■ Confirmation of weight changes, color changes, reactivity, adhesion, and recoverability Consultations are also possible in the early stages of consideration, such as "Can we test with a small sample quantity?" and "Which furnace type and atmosphere should be used for evaluation?"
