High Temperature Vacuum Induction Melting Furnace with Ultrasonic Agitation and Double Secondary Feeding

Product Overview

This advanced industrial system represents the pinnacle of vacuum induction melting (VIM) technology, engineered specifically to satisfy the strict requirements of modern material science research and high-purity metallurgical processing. By integrating induction heating with high-vacuum environments and advanced physical agitation capabilities, the system provides researchers and industrial manufacturers with unmatched control over alloy homogeneity, degassing, and solidification. The core value proposition of this unit lies in its ability to process highly reactive, high-melting-point metals and non-metal composites under sterile, controlled atmospheres, minimizing contamination and maximizing material yield.

Designed for versatile deployment, this thermal processing system serves as an essential tool in aerospace metallurgy, semiconductor development, advanced nuclear material fabrication, and specialized alloy prototyping. Whether situated in a university research laboratory or a high-throughput industrial R&D center, the equipment adapts seamlessly to diverse process requirements. Its capability to handle rapid heating and cooling cycles makes it ideal for evaluating experimental alloys, preparing high-performance superalloys, and conducting pilot-scale production runs.

Engineered for absolute reliability, the system incorporates heavy-duty componentry designed to withstand continuous thermal stress. Its rugged stainless steel structural frame, advanced dual-layer water cooling system, and intuitive digital control interface ensure long-term operational consistency even under demanding, high-vacuum operations at temperatures up to 2000°C. Operators can proceed with critical melting campaigns with complete confidence, backed by multi-layered safety interlocks and precision engineering.

Key Features

• Advanced Ultrasonic Agitation System: Integrates high-intensity ultrasonic transducers that project acoustic energy directly into the molten pool to induce acoustic streaming and cavitation within the liquid metal, actively breaking up dendritic structures during solidification, eliminating chemical segregation, and ensuring highly uniform alloy compositions.
• Double Secondary Feeding Mechanism: Equipped with dual, vacuum-isolated material addition ports that allow operators to introduce alloying elements, nucleating agents, or reactive components into the crucible during the melting process without breaking the vacuum or compromising the controlled atmosphere.
• High-Vacuum and Multi-Atmosphere Capabilities: Utilizes a robust vacuum pumping stack that rapidly achieves an ultimate vacuum level of 6.7 × 10⁻³ Pa, with support for precise backfilling and purging with high-purity inert gases or custom protective atmospheres to prevent oxidation of highly reactive metals.
• Precision Tilt-Pouring Mechanism: Features an integrated mechanical tilting system that enables smooth, controlled pouring of the molten metal into pre-configured molds directly within the vacuum chamber, preserving the purity of the cast structure and preventing thermal shock.
• Dual-Layer Water-Cooled Safety Chamber: Fabricated entirely from premium-grade stainless steel with an integrated water-cooling jacket that ensures while the internal crucible temperature reaches up to 2000°C, the external surface temperature of the furnace remains safely below 35°C.
• Dual-Mode Temperature Monitoring: Combines a non-contact, high-precision infrared pyrometer with integrated thermocouple ports to provide continuous, real-time temperature tracking and closed-loop PID control across a wide thermal range.
• Interactive HMI and PLC Control: Centered around an industrial-grade programmable logic controller (PLC) and an intuitive touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI) for programming multi-segment thermal profiles, monitoring real-time pressure, and tracking safety parameters.
• Robust Safety Interlocking System: Outfitted with comprehensive hardware and software safety interlocks that monitor chamber pressure, cooling water flow, water temperature, and power supply parameters, automatically initiating safe shutdown sequences when thresholds are exceeded.
