Batch vacuum induction melting furnaces are designed for melting metals and alloys in vacuum. The principle of their operation is based on heating by high-frequency currents. They are widely used in scientific research and manufacturing enterprises for the production of special alloys and nickel-based alloys, precision alloys, Mb-Ee-B alloys, reactive metals, high-temperature alloys, hydrogen storage alloys, magnetic materials, research and production of non-ferrous metals. and their alloys. Variants of designs with vertical and horizontal loading are possible. The installations consist of the following units: vacuum chamber, melting system, mold transfer device, vacuum system, transformer, automatic control system, multi-position viewing window,

Description:
With the use of modern measuring instruments, thermocouples, vacuum sensors, automatic frequency control systems, control systems based on logic controllers, it becomes possible to ensure the safe operation of equipment by giving sound and light alarms in case of overheating and vacuum drop, voltage fluctuations and preventing operator errors by active locks. The vacuum system uses efficient low noise vacuum pumps with low energy consumption and high performance. The inductor is made of a material that has undergone special processing with high strength characteristics, low reactive power, and high energy efficiency. By using stepper motors, it becomes possible to pour into several different molds in one cycle.
Furnaces are simple in management, are executed in the form of a monoblock design. Loading / unloading of casting molds is carried out from the side through the loading chamber under vacuum, it is possible to heat the molds. During the melting process, it is possible to take metal samples for chemical analysis, carry out alloying, blow the melt with argon from below and oxygen from above, carry out vacuum degassing and melt purification.
