Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnace

The var feedstock is consumable electrodes produced by vim or conventional air melting.

Vacuum arc remelting furnace.

During var vacuum furnace an electric arc is struck at the tip of an air melted ingot known as an electrode melting the material within the vacuum container. Vacuum arc remelting process. Vacuum arc remelting var is another secondary refining process that enhances the quality of metal that had undergone primary air melting and or was melted or remelted in arc vim or esr furnaces. The crucible sizes range from 2 5 diameter and up to 20 diameter.

Vacuum arc remelting furnaces var furnaces for melting material that have already been melted and cast into electrodes that are near their full packing density. As the melting electrode drips into the bottom of the vessel the surface area of each falling drip is exposed to the environment of the vacuum which removes any residual gases from the alloy. Eq sp msm207 is a compact vacuum arc melting furnace with a non consumable tungsten electrode and water cooled copper crucibles. Vacuum arc remelting var is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications.

Exposure of molten metal droplets to vacuum reduces free gas content in the steel providing a cleaner product with little segregation. The melting is controlled by a plc and the robust vacuum system creates very high purity material with low inclusion content. The furnace is setup to melt fe ni co ti and zr alloys. Metalwerks vacuum arc remelt var furnaces have an extensive range of capabilities.

Box 156 rancocas nj 08073 0156. This furnace is used to remelt vim or ism ingots into larger ingots for processing. Vacuum arc remelting furnace this is a consumable electrode remelting process performed inside a vacuum chamber. The var process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry and has made possible incredibly controlled materials used in the biomedical aviation and aerospace fields.

Vacuum casting faction fixture can be added as optional.
