The Reactive Annealing Process Simulator is a flexible simulation tool for optimising existing annealing treatments and for exploring new (continuous) annealing treatments where an accurate control of the gas-metal reactions is required both in inert as well as reactive atmosphere.
The RAPS is a vertical chamber system, equipped with sample loading and cooling station, an infrared furnace and a servomotor driven sample displacement unit. In combination with a mass flow controlled gas mixing station for different gasses, this type of simulator allows a wide variety of (continuous) annealing treatments.
