Process development
Research process equipment designed on campus.
Forming, sintering, finishing and magnetizing form one controlled chain in magnet research. ISIT’s process equipment is organised around that chain.
- 01 Feed
Rare-earth conversion and powder preparation.
- 02 Form
CIP to 2,500 bar. Green bodies up to Ø250 × 400 mm.
- 03 Sinter
Vacuum 3×10⁻⁴ mbar, 1,200 °C, molybdenum heaters for SmCo and NdFeB.
- 04 Finish
Grind, coat, magnetize, laser mark.
Vacuum sintering
1,200 °C. 3×10⁻⁴ mbar. Chamber Ø280 × 300 mm. Mo-wire heaters.
Tube furnaces
To 1,250 °C. Hot zones 250 mm and 500 mm. Programmable controllers.
Pulsed power supplies
Magnet charging and discharging. Documented bank energies: 6 kJ, 10 kJ, 24 kJ, 50 kJ and 500 kJ.
Metallic powders
Highly spherical powders, nano to micrometre, aluminium (660 °C) to tungsten (3422 °C). Spheroidization of atomized, sponge, crushed and spray-dried feedstock.
Powder metallurgy
Powder-metallurgy development of parts using CIP of green compacts and vacuum sintering. Sample size depends on geometry.
Precision casting
Ceramic shell moulds and vacuum investment casting. Grain sizes below 10 µm achievable.
Coating
Ni, Cu and Zn electroplating. PVD on machining and surgical tools.
Machine shop
