Small High-Throughput Induction Melting & Casting up to 32 Samples/Batch @ 1700C - VMCS-1700-HT-S

VMCS-1700-HT-S is a small multi-sample induction melting and casting system with atmosphere control. It is designed for high-throughput research for the new generation superalloy. 2-16 rectangular (or round) samples with different compositions can be melt and cast in a single batch within 25 minutes up to 1700 ºC. The solidified rectangular samples have a smooth surface without sinkholes, which can be used for deformation processing directly.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Vacuum Chamber	A large vacuum chamber made of stainless steel Vacuum Chamber dimension:  Vacuum level: 10-2 torr by the included dual-stage mechanical pump, and 10-5 torr by optional turbopump The cover of the vacuum chamber is driven by an air compressor which is not included) Usually, the melting is conducted under Ar gas and casting is under vacuum   Included Optional  (Required)
Induction heater	High-frequency induction is installed on the bottom vacuum chamber The induction coil is inserted into the bottom vacuum chamber, which will hold and heat the rectangular graphite crucible Power: 15 KW Frequency: ~80KHz
Graphite Crucible	A rectangular graphite crucible with cover is placed on the top of induction heating plate The crucible dimension: Outside 150x55x45 mm, inside 118x55x28 Multiple cavities will be built inside the crucible according to customer requirements The standard cavity: 16 pieces of 10 mm L x 20 mm W x 10 mm Depth, which may melt 16 kinds of the composition of the alloy at the same time with a melting point of 1700ºC Max. and 32 pcs sample of 10x20x5 mm with 32 kinds of composition. The total melting amount of the crucible is 1000 g (based on stainless steel) The amount of each cavity is dependent on the number of cavities. ( if 32 cavities, 30 g max per cavity) The customized cavity is available upon request
Control Panel	Touch screen control panel is built-in to control temperature and melting/casting process Temperature is controlled by the digital controller automatically Max. working temperature is 1700ºC  Thermocouple: B type Melting and casting time: ~ 20 minutes depending on the melting point of materials
Water Cooling (optional)	116 L/M recirculating water chiller is required ( not included ) You may order KJ6300 recirculating water chillers: one for induction coil and one for bottom water cold plate for the crucible. Water-pressure interlock: the equipment can not heat without water flow
Power Requirements	Input Voltage: 208 - 240V AC, three Phases, 50/60Hz 380V or 480VAC version is available upon request Input Power: 15 KW max ( 50A breaker required
Compliance	CE Certified NRTL or CSA certification is available upon request
