About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Quintus Technologies for the replacement of a molybdenum load basket assembly for its hot isostatic press (HIP) furnace.
The furnace experienced a catastrophic failure during a routine commercial cycle due to an improper combination of materials supplied by the client, damaging sections of the load basket beyond repair.
The new load baskets are required to enable furnace operation up to its maximum temperature of 1450°C, as without them the furnace is limited to 1200°C, precluding the processing of refractory metals such as tungsten for nuclear manufacturing research.
The contract value is £133,737.
