INSTRUMENT DETAILS

The DSI Gleeble 3500-GTC is a highly specialized system for research in welding and high temperature mechanical properties such as hot formability in metals. The system can be configured for tension/compression or torsion with load capacities of 45 kN and 50 Nm, displacement rates up to 1,000 mm/s and 25 rev/s, resistive heating rates up to 10,000 °C/s to 1750 °C, and surface cooling rates up to 10,000 °C though water or gas quenching.
