The installation allows to grow (through the Plasma Arc Melting by the modified Verneuil method) large single crystals and molded polycrystalline ingots of the refractory compounds. The raw material for melting can be used in form of long-sized rods or powder.

Device allows producing highly uniform compacts from the powder and powder mixtures pressed into long-sized shells. The method of subsequent portion-by-portion pressing is realized.

The installation permits to study a macrokinetic of processes of burning and explosion in heterogeneous condensed reactable mixes. High speeds of self-heating permits without preliminary models to receive quantitative significances of thermodynamic parameters from a non-stationary equation of the thermal balance.
