The 2DCC compounding furnace is a single zone furnace with a maximum temperature of 1250 °C that is used to compound source powders for later use in our Vertical Bridgman or one of our Chemical Vapor Transport Furnaces for bulk crystal growth. The furnace will accept an ampoule of maximum diameter of two inches or multiple ampoules of smaller diameter. This furnace tilts back and forth during compounding to improve mixing and uniformity of source materials.
