Gleeble - Model 3180-GTC -Physical Simulation System
The Gleeble 3180-GTC is designed to provide precise physical simulations for researchers in need of a reliable and affordable system. It excels in applications such as weld HAZ simulations, hot tensile tests, thermal cycles, and heat treatment studies. The system offers versatility with options for uni-axial compression and low-force tests. It features a flexible thermal-mechanical simulation configuration and supports a variety of grips for uniform temperature zones and diverse specimen configurations. Notable for its melting and solidification capabilities, the Gleeble 3180 allows for in-situ thermal and mechanical testing to determine properties like ductility dip regions. Its Strain Induced Crack Opening (SICO) procedure aids in optimizing thermomechanical processes in forging and forming operations. Key performance specifications include a maximum compressive and tensile force of 8 metric tons, a maximum stroke rate of 1000 mm/sec, and a maximum operating temperature of 1700ºC. The system integrates a closed-loop direct resistance heating system, servo mechanical system, and Windows based digital control for data acquisition, making it a robust tool for advanced material research.
The Gleeble 3180 provides a physical simulation system for researchers who require the quality and accuracy of a Gleeble system on an affordable scale.The Gleeble 3180 is ideal for weld HAZ simulations, hot tensile tests, thermal cycles,heat treatment studies, uni-axial compression and low force tests.
The Gleeble 3180 is a flexible thermal-mechanical physical simulation system which can be configured for the following applications:
- Weld HAZ simulation
- Melting and solidification
- Heat treatment
- Hot tensile tests
- CCT and CHT with deformation
- Continuous casting simulation
At the heart of the 3180 are the features for which Gleeble systems are internationally renowned: a closed-loop direct resistance heating system, a closed-loop servo mechanical system, and a Windows® based digital computer control and data acquisition system.
Deformation Dilatometry: The 3180 can be equipped to perform CCT work including CCT after deformation.
Weld HAZ Cycles can be accurately replicated and analyzed to test material weldability and to improve welding procedures.
