Edmund Bühler MSP 60 Melt Spinner

Series: Melt Spinning

Model: MSP 60

A melt-spinning system for batches up to 60 g, with a 250 mm copper wheel, adjustable ejection angle and automatic crucible positioning for process optimization.

Application / measured object:

Rapid solidification, ribbon production and medium-batch alloy process development from metallic melts.

Application area:

Product overview

MSP 60 combines high-vacuum melting with rapid solidification on a copper wheel for laboratory metal-ribbon production. Maximum charge is 60 g; an adjustable wheel drive varies the ejection angle.

Key features

  • Solid copper spinning wheel of Ø250 mm; ribbon width 1–17 mm.
  • TPS 6 automatic crucible-positioning system and touch-screen control panel.
  • Complete system includes high-vacuum chamber, rack, high-vacuum pumping system with turbomolecular or diffusion pump, and RF generator.
  • Different generator models are available; the adjustable wheel drive varies the melt-ejection angle.
  • Boron-nitride or quartz crucibles with slit or round nozzles.
  • Infrared quotient pyrometer, water-cooled wheel, casting option and recirculating chiller are optional; the water-cooled wheel is not the basic solid-copper wheel.
