TekSiC debuts Xforge HT high-temperature induction furnace
TekSiC, based in Linköping, Sweden, has announced its new Xforge HT, a modular high-temperature induction heating furnace. The Xforge HT is designed for various high-temperature heat treatment applications, such as post processing of additively manufactured components, sintering, various diffusion treatments, material testing, etc.
“The Xforge HT represents the next step in our evolution as a company,” stated Joachim Tollstoy, CEO of TekSiC. “This product is a result of our dedication to innovation, designed with the flexibility to meet the specific needs of processes in high temperatures, low pressures, and introduction of process gases. We engineered it to provide the highest performance in the most demanding environments while offering a modular solution that can be customised to each customer’s unique requirements.”
The Xforge HT is designed for high-temperature performance, reportedly able to stably exceed 2500°C. Its pressure and gas management system is said to enable the precise regulation of the processing environment, allowing optimal conditions for complex heat treatment applications. The machine’s design is also focused on versatility, enabling the generation of high-vacuum environments while allowing the controlled introduction of multiple gases, including hydrogen. Its advanced control algorithms enable precise thermal management, making it even possible for processing refractory metals such as tungsten, niobium, and tantalum.
Throughout its development, Xforge HT underwent industrial reliability testing at customer sites over several years, demonstrating its ability to function during extreme high-temperature applications. Additionally, Xforge HT is CE-marked, certifying compliance with EU health, safety, and environmental standards.
