Description

Vulcan is a thermal fatigue testing chamber for new aerospace material components,

compatible with the Electroforce LM1 Testbench and designed for Digital Image Correlation

measurements. A custom induction coil rapidly and linearly heats ferromagnetic samples while

cooling and gas ports give the user freedom to adjust heat and environmental cycles. The

aluminum chamber is sealed with silicone gaskets and metallic bellows and incorporates

a sapphire window for viewing test samples with no light interference.
