RACS25 – MDSD — Materials Design Systems & Devices LLC

RACS25 (DEVICE)

A breakthrough in material sintering, using proprietary RACS technology.

SIMPLIFIED SPEC.

Sample diameter

up to 25 mm

Pressing force

up to 40 kN

Max. temp.

2 000 °C

Heating rate

up to 500 °C/min

Power

up to 18 kW

As in the SPS method, the energy for sintering is provided in the form of current pulses, but these are high-frequency alternating current pulses generated by a resonant power supply coupled to a matching transformer.

This method enables efficient consolidation of materials by sintering, particularly ionic materials, due to the AC current not causing ion migration and component segregation.

Optionally, the RACS25 device is available in an extended version, RACS25-hybrid, with an additional 50/60Hz AC power source.

Main advantages

Higher efficiency in energy transfer between power supply and sintered material.

Possibility to sinter materials containing highly mobile elements (like e.g. superionic conductors).

Lower electricity consumption.

Lower power connection requirements.
