Air Jet Erosion Tester AJ-1000
Perform repeated impact tests with the AJ-1000. The tester utilises a jet of gas loaded with abrasive particles and as a result, the AJ-1000 is capable of measuring the precise erosion of samples. With temperature control up to 900°C, the tester comes with closed-loop temperature. Additionally, the AJ-1000 ranks the erosion of various materials and coatings by subjecting samples to different abrasive particles of a variety of shapes, sizes, temperatures, and impact speeds. Conforms to ASTM G76 and G211-14.
Manufacturer
Rtec Instruments
Rtec Instruments develops and manufactures advanced mechanical and surface testing and measurement solutions for research and industrial applications. They specialise in combining techniques that provide a unique perspective in material testing. Their testers include tribometer, profilometer, scratch tester, high-temperature indenter, and corrosion testers. Furthermore, their testers provide the most robust and versatile platform in the market for testing friction, wear, adhesion, hardness, roughness, and film thickness from nano to macro-scale.
Key Features
- Conforms to ASTM G76, ASTM G211-14
- Automatic in-line sample and particle velocity measurement
- Open platform allows mounting real samples and test coupons
- Fully automatic – run and test data with a click of a button
Features
Automated Positioning Stage
An automatic stage moves the sample for ease of use. Meanwhile, the velocity measurement system provides precise measurements.
Uniform Temperature
The AJ-1000 can go up to 1200 °C temperature (multiple ranges available). As a result, study the effect of temperature with in-line temperature monitoring and PID closed loop control.
Closed loop High Speed Double Disc Velocity Measurement
The time-of-flight of the particles is determined over a controlled path length between two rotating disks. Servo controlled rpm, high speed double disc velocity for precise process control in real time.
Mixing and Impingement Angle
Software parameters control the mixing of hot air and erodent particles. In addition, the angles of impingement change to various positions – from 0 to 90 degrees.
Erodent Particle Feed System
Stainless steel hoppers and vibrator with programmed motorised screw conveyor.
Erodent feed rate– 1 -10 gm/min (higher range available)
Particle hopper capacity– up to 3 litre (multiple ranges)
Particle speed– 30-200 m/sec (multiple ranges available)
A Look Inside
Each AJ-1000 includes an air pressure controller and a pressure gauge. Standard or user selected abrasive media are capable of evaluation.
