Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Desorption Analysis up to 1700 °C.

The ESCO-TDS1700 IH is a state-of-the-art Thermal Desorption Spectrometer (TDS) specifically engineered for evaluating advanced materials requiring extreme temperatures. Powered by high-efficiency Induction Heating (IH) technology, it directly heats conductive samples up to 1700 °C in an ultra-high vacuum environment, enabling the detection of deeply trapped gases that conventional heating methods cannot release.

Key Features of ESCO-TDS1700 IH:

• Extreme Temperature Range (up to 1700 °C): Enables complete desorption and quantification of strongly bound gases and trace impurities in refractory metals, ceramics, and structural alloys.

• Crucial for Nuclear Fusion Materials R&D: Indispensable for analyzing hydrogen isotopes (Deuterium and Tritium) retention and helium bubble-induced embrittlement in plasma-facing components (e.g., tungsten divertors) and breeding blanket materials. It precisely identifies trap sites and desorption behavior at extreme temperatures.

• High-Efficiency Induction Heating (IH): Rapid, localized heating minimizes background outgassing from the vacuum chamber walls, ensuring high sensitivity.

• Robust Material Evaluation: Essential for research on refractory metals (such as tungsten and tantalum), titanium alloys, additive manufacturing powders, and high-temperature aerospace components.

[Scientific Proof of Concept]

The ultra-high temperature analytical capabilities of the ESCO-TDS1700 IH are proven in cutting-edge space and advanced materials research. In a peer-reviewed study (Hanada et al., 2023) supporting a space mission for the International Space Station (ISS-ELF) by Waseda University and JAXA, the IH-TDS1700 was utilized to analyze gas desorption from Ti6Al4V alloy samples up to 1973 K (1700 °C).

The instrument accurately quantified trace CO gas emissions at extreme temperatures, successfully identifying the root cause of bubble formation during levitation melting. The ESCO-TDS1700 IH brings this research-grade, extreme-temperature analytical performance directly to your nuclear, metallurgical, and advanced materials R&D laboratory.
