合金炼制是金属材料研究的基础，合金前驱体的制备水平很大程度上影响着材料所展现的最终性能。理想合金前驱体的制备离不开优良的仪器设备。先进纳米孔能源材料实验室拥有多套金属材料炼制合成专业仪器，能够进行电弧熔炼、合金甩带、吸铸、喷铸、球磨等工艺过程，从而为后续实验提供从宏观到微观、从毫米级到纳米级不同尺度的前驱材料。
Alloy preparation is the basis for the research of metallic materials. The preparation qualities of alloy precursors largely affect the final performance of materials. Obviously, the preparation of an ideal alloy precursor heavily relies on the good equipments. Controllable experiments of arc melting, melt spinning, suction casting, spray casting and ball milling can be performed. Thus, precursor materials, from macroscopic to microscopic, and from millimeter-scale to nanoscale, can be provided for following experiments.
