Description
GeniCore tracks market requirements to drive innovation in Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) device design. Responding to evolving needs, the company developed the U-FAST Glovebox system—an integration of MBRAUN inert gas glovebox with U-FAST SPS technology. It enables continuous processing in inert atmosphere, preventing oxygen/moisture exposure for sensitive materials, achieving ultra-fast densification via <1 ms current pulses, minimizing grain growth and enhancing properties.
Key Innovations
Another advance is the U-FAST Compact PRO power supply. The upgrade delivers higher heating rates at equal power, with <1 ms pulse rise time and up to 5 kA currents. It supports DC (SPS), AC (induction), or combined modes controlled by a single PLC, blending both methods' benefits. Induction ensures efficient, rapid temperature control. Vacuum connectors prepare it for High-Voltage sintering.
Applications
Both systems target R&D and low-volume production of advanced materials like Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG), High-Entropy Alloys (HEA), transparent ceramics, and thermoelectrics. Collaborations with top research centers validate their performance, accelerating progress in electronics, energy, aerospace, and beyond. Small-scale processes scale seamlessly to industrial volumes using identical parameters on production-grade equipment.
Benefits
This future-proof platform offers precise environmental control and process scalability, marking a breakthrough in plasma sintering technology.
