vacuum induction melting furnace

Vacuum Induction Melting Working Principle

(1) Coreless induction melting furnace is used for heating (vacuum melting furnace with less
than two tons usually adopts medium frequency power supply of 500-4000Hz, and large
electric furnaces mostly use triple frequency or power frequency power supply);
(2) Furnace is packed in one vacuum chamber. Furnace charge is melted in vacuum or inert
gas. Vacuum system uses primary vacuum pump and booster pump to extract vacuum. It
consists of vacuum valve and measuring instrument. For the vacuum system with oil booster
pump and Roots pump in parallel, the vacuum degree can reach 0.06Pa.
(3) Cooling the induction heater and the mould under water-cooling conditions;
(4) Melting and casting the metal melt under vacuum conditions.

Vacuum Induction Melting Characteristics

(1) The purification effect is good, because the gas content of smelting metal or alloy is low.
(2) The oxidation loss of alloying elements is small and the oxidation inclusions are small.
(3) The melt is not easy to be oxidized without covering agent.
(4) It can improve the mechanical properties and plastic forming ability of metals or alloys.
