The Phoenix High Temperature Corrosion Fatigue machine is a bespoke design, tailor-made for our customer in the UK University sector. The requirements were to design a system capable of testing in harsh environments using a silica glass environmental chamber. This included sourcing a material that could handle the high temperatures and the corrosive atmosphere, but was also available in the sizes necessary to machine the environmental chamber end caps.
Further environmental chambers were developed to suit different machine frames and heating options, these include the Phoenix stainless steel chambers with a large viewing window, which can operate with induction heating or infrared emitters and the entire chamber is filled with the gas atmosphere.
High Temperature Corrosion Fatigue
- Tailor-made design
- Suitable for corrosive gas and shield gas environments
- Fitted with accessories and instrumentation for elevated temperature testing
- Option to include Potential Drop (PD)
Phoenix has designed and built a range of high temperature corrosion fatigue machines to suit the accurate control of corrosive gas and shield gas environments.
Overview
Materials & Tests
This application requires accurate control of the corrosive gas and shield gas environments, as well as selecting and designing fixtures and instrumentation that will operate and control the system at elevated temperatures in the harsh environment.
Specifications
This bespoke system is fitted with a traditional three zone split furnace and a silica glass environmental chamber. An alternative design has a smaller silica glass annulus within an external framework that holds infrared emitters for heating. This framework can be modified to hold different infrared assemblies to suit varying specimen geometries or instrumentation, whilst minimising the amount of corrosive gas required at the sample.
Potential Drop (PD) can also be fitted to the corrosion test systems if required.
