IMCS-1500RC Atmosphere Controlled Induction Melting and Continuous Casting Furnace for Non-Ferrous Metals
The IMCS-1500RC is engineered to facilitate the continuous casting of non-ferrous metals and alloys in rod, plate, or wire form under a controlled inert gas atmosphere. This system is particularly suited for producing metallic wires used in additive manufacturing processes, offering precise temperature control and atmosphere management to ensure high-quality casting results.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Induction melting with a maximum temperature of 1500ºC (optional 1700ºC).
- Continuous casting capability for wire (φ6-φ30mm), tube/rod (φ10-φ50mm), and plates (2-70mm width).
- Graphite crucible and lower mold included, designed for up to 5 kg melting capacity.
- Adjustable traction speed up to 20 cm/min for controlled casting rates.
- Inert gas protection using argon or nitrogen with purity of 99.99%, flow rate approximately 2 L/hour.
- Vacuum casting option available with additional vacuum chamber for enhanced atmosphere control.
- Electronic temperature control with B-type thermocouple for precise monitoring and minimal overshoot.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This system is ideal for research and development of non-ferrous metal alloys, preparation of metallic wires for additive manufacturing, and continuous casting of rods, plates, and wires in controlled atmospheres to prevent oxidation and contamination.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The standard package includes graphite crucibles and a double stage rotary vane vacuum pump. Optional upgrades include higher temperature capability (1700ºC) and vacuum casting chambers for enhanced atmosphere control. A pressure regulator must be installed on the input gas tank to maintain output pressure below 3 PSI and ensure continuous gas flow. Operators must monitor chamber pressure closely to avoid damage from overpressure. Water cooling is required, with either tap water or a recirculating chiller recommended but not included.
