5Kg Vacuum Induction Melting Furnace

Introduction of Vacuum Induction Melting Furnace

The vacuum induction melting furnace operates on the principle of medium-frequency induction heating and is equipped with a high-vacuum system. This setup allows for the melting of metals under high-vacuum conditions. The furnace is widely used to research and produce nickel-based and specialty steels, precision alloys, reactive metals, high-temperature alloys, and magnetic materials. It is also suitable for the precision casting of small components under vacuum.

Features of Brother Furnace's Vacuum Induction Melting Furnace

1. High Temperature and Efficiency: The furnace uses IGBT or KGPS medium-frequency power supplies, achieving temperatures up to 2300°C. This high-temperature range facilitates the melting of a variety of metals and alloys.

2. Advanced Vacuum System: Equipped with a mechanical pump, roots pump, and diffusion pump, the furnace achieves an ultimate vacuum of up to 6x10⁻³ Pa. This ensures a clean melting environment with minimal contamination.

3. Versatile Feeding Options: Standard alloy feeders allow for the sequential addition of materials into the crucible. An optional secondary feeding system enables continuous addition of elements in a vacuum environment, enhancing flexibility in sample preparation.

4. User-Friendly Interface: The furnace features a high-definition touchscreen interface with a custom-developed operating system and a PLC automatic control system for precise melting process management.

5. Observation and Maintenance: The furnace includes a viewing window on the lid for monitoring internal conditions. The window is covered with a shield to prevent contamination from metal vapors.

6. Modular and Convenient Design: The induction coil inside the furnace is made from rectangular copper tubes and is mounted on electrodes for easy assembly and disassembly. Pre-sintered crucibles can be placed inside the coil, or crucibles can be molded directly in the coil.
