IMCS-1700VC Atmosphere Controlled Induction Melting and Continuous Casting Furnace with Secondary Charge and Vacuum Capability, Up to 1700ºC
The IMCS-1700VC is engineered for precise continuous casting of metallic rods, plates, and wires, accommodating various alloy compositions. It operates under controlled atmospheres, including vacuum and high-purity inert gases such as argon or nitrogen, to prevent oxidation and contamination during melting and solidification processes. This furnace is particularly suited for preparing metallic wire feedstock for additive manufacturing and other advanced material applications.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This furnace is ideal for producing high-purity metallic wires, rods, and plates for additive manufacturing feedstock, advanced alloy development, and research requiring controlled atmosphere casting. It supports continuous casting processes for stainless steel and other alloys sensitive to oxidation or contamination.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The system includes a standard graphite crucible with thermal insulation and an air-tight pulling chamber. Users should consult with engineering support to select appropriate castable profile sizes and types. The furnace requires a high-purity inert gas supply (argon or nitrogen) at specified flow rates and pressure. The included vacuum pump and water cooling system must be operated according to manufacturer guidelines. An optional automatic winding device is available for efficient wire collection. Safety precautions for handling high temperatures, vacuum, and inert gases should be strictly observed.
