TECNALIA’s GLEEBLE 3800 system is a physical simulator of thermo-mechanical processes in metal alloys, such as hot rolling, forging, hot stamping, HAZ in welding and the mapping of forming.

Its main characteristics are:

    - “Direct resistance” heating thermal system (heating speed up to 10,000 ºC/s)
    - Mechanical system with precise control of mechanical variables (axis movement, applied force)
    - Transverse isothermal planes. Axial temperature gradient.
    - Process simulation: hot rolling, forging, hot stamping, HAZ in welding and the mapping of forming, etc.
    - Materials testing: thermal cycle tests, hot tensile tests (ductility), hot uniaxial compression tests (true stress-deformation curves), susceptibility cracking (SICO) tests, post-deformation dilatometry tests, thermal fatigue tests, fusion and solidification, etc.

Equipment

  • Mobile conversion unit.
  • Transformer.
  • Test chamber (vacuum and controlled atmosphere).
  • Mobile axis.
  • Servo-hydraulic system.
  • Hydraulic pump.
  • Water cooler.
  • Channels for thermocouples.
  • Load cell.

There is also an external hardening system, and axial and diametral strain gauges.

It has a tool for anchoring the different clamps (cylindrical and flat test specimens) for hot tensile tests, SICO tests, post-deformation dilatometry tests, thermal fatigue tests, etc. As a secondary tool it has an adapter for compression tests.

Zerbitzuak
  • Thermal cycle testing.
  • High-temperature tensile and compression testing.
  • SICO (cracking susceptibility testing).
  • Post-deformation dilatometry.
  • Thermal fatigue testing.
  • Support for numerical simulation and process design.

Aimed at:

  • Companies devoted to manufacturing or transforming metal alloy products by means of thermo-mechanical processes. In particular, foundry and steel processes.
