Iron & Steel / Steel Sheet Evaluation System

Easy determination of transformation point of steel sheets
The CAS series achieves high-speed heating and cooling with the use of an Infrared Gold Image Furnace, direct temperature control of the samples, and easy atmosphere production. This system makes it possible to precisely achieve thermal treatment simulations of processes for steel and iron materials that had been previously difficult. Supports general purpose heat treatment tests to process heat treatment simulation tests of materials such as steel sheets, steel plates, stainless steel sheets, and magnetic steel sheets.

Vivid observations with image heating and the latest optical system
Capable of observations of the crystal transformation, deposition, and solidification of metallic materials, capable of observations of the molten state and deposits of various materials, and capable of thermal cycle measurements of polymer materials from crystals → molten → re-solidification

This system can rapidly heat and cool metal samples in temperature ranging from room temperature to maximum 1350℃ and with curve lines of time-temperature and displacement(length) taken from the heating and cooling process, transformation point(temperature) can be measured.
The sub-zero mechanism uses the latent heat of vaporization from liquid nitrogen and allows measurements down to -150℃.

With pressing a conical indenter against a small sample, creep behavior can be measured under high temperature.
With the Micro-Indentation Tester based on new principles, this system does not require large samples like past systems.

Quantitative analysis of carbon and nitrogen in steel and iron
This system measures the internal friction of steel and iron by the free vibration decay method.
