Advanced Gradient Heating Facility(AGHF)... The AGHF supports the production of advanced semiconductor materials and alloys using the directional solidification process, which depends on establishing a hot side and a cold side in the sample(a temperature gradient). It provides an extremely stable temperature environment of up to 1, 400°C, high-temperature gradients of up to 100°C/cm in the solidification zone, slow movement of the gradient across a sample to provide slow growth rates, efficient cooling through the use of a liquid metal cooling ring attached to the sample container, and Peltier pulse marking capability. The AGHF consists of three modules mounted in one side of a Spacelab double rack : the Core Facility Module contains the processing chamber with the furnace inside; the Electronics Module contains the controls and equipment necessary to operate the furnace; and the Gas Storage Module contains argon for chamber repressurization and sample cooling.  2, record 1, English, - advanced%20gradient%20heating%20facility

Dans les conditions de microgravité de l'espace, il est possible d'éliminer nombre de ces imperfections produites sous l'effet de la pesanteur. Les chercheurs LMS [Laboratoire de mécanique des fluides] ont produit dans le Four perfectionné à gradient (GHF pour Gradient Heating Facility) des matériaux et des alliages de semiconducteurs de pointe selon la technique de la solidification directionnelle qui repose sur l'établissement d'une portion chaude et d'une portion froide à l'intérieur d'un échantillon (gradient de température).  3, record 1, French, - four%20%C3%A0%20gradient%20%C3%A0%20haute%20temp%C3%A9rature

advanced gradient heating facility : In the area of microgravity sciences and materials processing, six individual experiments, some with many separate runs, were conducted in the Advanced Gradient Heating Facility, a furnace for solidifying alloys and crystals. These experiments yielded information on the physical processes involved in solidification, and the results may help drive the production of advanced semiconductor materials in space and on Earth.  2, record 2, English, - small%20advanced%20gradient%20heating%20facility

[The] Gradient Heating Furnace(GHF)... is allocated the entire resources of Materials Science Rack I and consists of the Material Processing Unit and Sample Cartridge Automatic Exchange Mechanism. The Material Processing Unit is a zone-type 1600°C(2912°F) furnace with vacuum capabilities that accepts cartridge-type sample. In order to conserve crew resources on orbit, the sample cartridge is automatically exchanged by the Sample Cartridge Automatic Exchange Mechanism.  2, record 3, English, - material%20processing%20unit
