Synchrotron IR Furnace AIH1600-SR
Product Detail
InSitu Pro™ AIH1600-SR is a synchrotron infrared heating furnace designed for studying the microstructural evolution of materials at high temperature: phase transitions such as melting and solidification can be analyzed by synchrotron-radiation scanning, and samples of various shapes — sheets, blocks, rods — are supported. Its innovative infrared focusing heating structure achieves ultra-fast heating control up to 30 °C/s over an RT to 1600 °C range at ±0.5 °C stability, with a controllable cooling rate, on a platinum φ10 mm sample stage in a vacuum / atmosphere chamber. Transmission optics run from a φ15 mm entrance window to a φ130 mm exit window, and the core heat-source components use a modular design that supports rapid removal and replacement.
Key features
- Built for synchrotron beamlinesDesigned for in-situ synchrotron-radiation scanning analysis of phase transitions such as melting and solidification during high-temperature microstructural studies. Beamline-specific installation is confirmed at quotation.
- RT to 1600 °C infrared focusingThe innovative infrared focusing heating structure reaches 1600 °C at ±0.5 °C stability on a platinum φ10 mm sample stage.
- 30 °C/s ultra-fast heatingMaximum heating rate of 30 °C/s, with a controllable cooling rate — supporting rapid heating during melting, solidification, and other phase-transition studies.
- Transmission optics, φ15 / φ130 windowsTransmission light path from a φ15 mm entrance window to a φ130 mm exit window; entrance and diffraction windows use Kapton film, and the JGS2 quartz-glass window (transmission band 220–2500 nm) can be manually removed and replaced.
- Vacuum or atmosphere chamberThe chamber is specified for vacuum / atmosphere operation. A vacuum system is listed as an option; the intended operating atmosphere and final configuration are confirmed at quotation.
- Modular heat source, flexible samplesCore heat-source components use a modular design supporting rapid removal and replacement for maintenance; samples of various shapes (sheets, blocks, rods) are supported.

Heating in air? Plan for oxidation
When operated in air or another oxidizing atmosphere at elevated temperature, many metals and alloys may oxidize — the extent depends on material composition, surface condition, temperature, atmosphere, and exposure time. Hold a sample for an hour at a temperature within the simulator range and see:
Model: parabolic oxidation x² = k·t with an Arrhenius rate constant — an approximation for diffusion-controlled oxidation, not every material or temperature; the vacuum panel suppresses the oxidant supply. The simulator covers 200–1000 °C and does not model the AIH1600-SR operating range above 1000 °C. The AIH1600-SR chamber is specified for vacuum / atmosphere operation — a vacuum system is listed as an option, and the intended operating atmosphere is confirmed at quotation. Curves are schematic, not performance data for a specific furnace or sample.
