Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnace

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.

Vacuum arc remelting furnace.

The crucible sizes range from 2 5 diameter and up to 20 diameter. Vacuum arc remelting process. Vacuum arc remelting furnace this is a consumable electrode remelting process performed inside a vacuum chamber. 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 var feedstock is consumable electrodes produced by vim or conventional air melting. Metalwerks vacuum arc remelt var furnaces have an extensive range of capabilities. This furnace is used to remelt vim or ism ingots into larger ingots for processing. Box 156 rancocas nj 08073 0156.

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. Consarc utilizes fully computerized controls to optimize reproducibility and ease of operation. The melting is controlled by a plc and the robust vacuum system creates very high purity material with low inclusion content. Vacuum casting faction fixture can be added as optional.

Exposure of molten metal droplets to vacuum reduces free gas content in the steel providing a cleaner product with little segregation. A built in mechanical manipulator is included for tilting and rotating metal ingots for the re melting process. Vacuum arc remelting var is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications. 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.

The furnace is setup to melt fe ni co ti and zr alloys.
