VACUUM INDUCTION MELTING

FURNACE
VIM is used in secondary refining or metallurgy, to refine alloys in
fluid state and adjust chemical composition and temperature
It is also used in refining of many complex alloys in aerospace
engineering
Vacuum levels is set to be in the range of 10-1 to 10-4 mbar 
The melting process is comparatively easier in VIM, attributing the
independent control of time, pressure, temperature and transport
through melt stirring
Flexibility to control the alloy composition by sampling & addition
of required alloys
