Electrolysis

March 25. 2024

Electrolysis is an important process in chemistry and industry in which an electrical current source is used to trigger a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Typically, electrolysis is used to break down a substance into its components or to form new compounds. In an electrolytic cell, two electrodes are immersed in an electrolyte solution consisting of ions. One electrode is called the anode and the other the cathode. When an electrical voltage is applied, the positively charged ions move to the cathode, …

Coating

August 11. 2022November 1. 2017

Aixcon offers DC and AC power sources as well as microwave generators for a variety of coating processes. Aixcon in particular also supports processes that place high demands on the power supply, such as those with high pulse rates or special pulse shapes. Microwave Coating Microwaves (915 MHz / 2.45 GHz / 5.8 GHz) are a good source for plasma excitation. Microwaves can achieve higher plasma densities than RF or DC excitation. Aixcon’s microwave generators are deployed in various plasma …

Heat treatment

August 11. 2022November 1. 2017

Hot stretcher & warm bending Aixcon provides power sources for heat treatment. In a standard heat treatment, a material with an Aixcon current source is heated either directly using resistance or conductivity, or indirectly using radiation according to a given temperature profile. Once the target temperature is reached, the material (titanium, steel, aluminum, alloys, etc.) can be formed, hardened, and treated. aixcon PowerSystems has developed a specially automated system for heat treatments, which is precisely controlled within 0.1 percent. Hot …
