Vacuum Melt Spinning Furnace with Spray Casting and Induction Melting System for Amorphous Ribbon Preparation

Product Overview

This system represents a highly advanced thermal processing solution designed specifically for materials science laboratories and industrial R&D facilities. By combining vacuum induction melting, spray casting, and melt spinning technologies into a single integrated platform, this equipment allows researchers to transition seamlessly between different material fabrication modes. It provides a highly controlled environment for synthesizing amorphous materials, nanocrystalline alloys, and high-entropy alloy structures, ensuring that critical material properties are maintained without exposure to atmospheric contaminants.

Optimized for rapid solidification workflows, this unit is widely utilized in university laboratories, scientific research institutes, and corporate metallurgy centers. Its primary design objective is to enable rapid testing cycles and precise control over the quenching process of advanced non-ferrous and magnetic materials. Whether researching novel bulk metallic glasses or developing high-performance magnetic ribbons, this system offers the thermal flexibility and atmospheric purity required to handle reactive and high-purity metals with complete operational confidence.

Engineered with durability and safety at its core, the furnace features a robust double-walled water-cooled chamber that keeps the outer surface cool to the touch even during operation at temperatures up to 2100°C. The incorporation of high-performance PLC controls, dynamic monitoring screens, and high-vacuum subsystems guarantees consistent execution of complex thermal cycles. This ensures that every test run is highly reproducible, giving researchers complete control over cooling rates, wheel speeds, and temperature ramp rates under the most demanding experimental parameters.

Key Features

• Integrated Multi-Functional Capability: This system combines vacuum induction melting, melt spinning, and injection/spray casting processes inside a single vacuum chamber, eliminating sample transfer steps and protecting raw materials from oxidation.
• Extremely Rapid Solidification Rates: The cooling rate can reach between 10^5 and 10^6 K/s, forcing molten metal into amorphous or nanocrystalline structures by bypassing conventional crystal growth kinetics.
• High-Precision Motor Drive: Equipped with a balanced electromagnetic fluid drive motor, the copper spinning wheel maintains high stability under high rotational speeds, achieving linear speeds from 0 to 70 m/s with minimal vibration.
• Advanced PLC and Touch Screen Control: An integrated PLC automation package features recipe storage, real-time data logging, and downloadable parameter curves, providing researchers with complete operational monitoring of every test run.
• Broad Operating Temperature Spectrum: Powered by high-frequency induction heating, the unit achieves design temperatures ranging from 1700°C to 2100°C (with custom setups reaching up to 2400°C), allowing rapid melting of refractory metals in under 10 minutes.
• High Vacuum and Controlled Atmosphere: Features a vacuum chamber capable of achieving an ultimate vacuum limit of 6.7 x 10^-4 Pa, supporting operations in high vacuum, positive pressure, or controlled environments using high-purity argon or helium.
• Precision Ribbon Dimension Control: Allows researchers to produce consistent metal ribbons with thicknesses between 20 and 60 μm and widths from 1 to 20 mm, highly customizable based on the specific nozzle slot configuration used.
• Double-Wall Water-Cooled Chamber: The heavy-duty stainless steel furnace chamber incorporates an integrated cooling jacket that actively circulates water, ensuring the external wall temperature remains safely below 35°C.
• Customizable Crucible Sizes: Supports a wide range of crucible configurations, accommodating custom volumes from 5 g for basic material screening up to 50 kg for pilot-scale production runs.
