Our High-Temperature Oxidation Laboratory is equipped with a state-of-the-art suite of furnaces and gas-delivery systems for static and cyclic oxidation, controlled-atmosphere exposures, and high-temperature heat treatments up to 1700\u202f\u00b0C. These capabilities enable reproducible testing of oxidation behavior, scale adherence, and material performance under realistic service conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cyclic Oxidation Testing<\/h2>\n <\/summary>\n

\n \n\n

We offer automated, computer-controlled cyclic oxidation experiments using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Carbolite vertical tube furnace<\/strong> \u2013 1-zone, up to 1600\u202f\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lindberg three-zone vertical tube furnace<\/strong> \u2013 Up to 1200\u202f\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Both systems allow programmed thermal cycling with dwell periods, automated specimen handling, and controlled cooling, providing highly repeatable conditions relevant to turbine and propulsion environments.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n\n
