Vacuum Induction Melting and Casting Furnaces

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides a comprehensive overview of Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) and Casting Furnaces, specifically the VIM 02 to VIM 100 product line. VIM is a critical process in secondary metallurgy, enabling effective degassing and precise alloy composition adjustment, essential for producing high-purity metals.

VIM Process Characteristics:

High flexibility and versatility
Fast program changes
High efficiency due to deoxidation
Close compositional tolerances
Precise temperature control
Low dust output
Removal of undesired elements

Applications: VIM technology is used in various industries, including research and development, electronics, dental, automotive, aerospace, ferrous and non-ferrous applications, and the precious metal industry. It supports processes like mold casting, continuous casting, vacuum induction distillation, and flake casting.

Standard VIM Furnaces: The VIM 02 to VIM 100 furnaces are modular systems with a range of accessories to meet specific production needs. Features include additional coils, ingot mold turntables, charging facilities, temperature measurement, and sampling capabilities.

Furnace Designs: The document details various furnace designs, including:

VIM-MT with Mold Treatment
VIM-VCC with Vertical Continuous Casting
VIM-HCC with Horizontal Continuous Casting
VIM-DS with Directional Solidification
VIM-FC with Flake Casting
VIM-HMC/VIM-VMC with separate Mold Chambers
VIM-P for Over-Pressure Operation
VIDIST for Vacuum Induction Distillation

Technical Data: The document provides detailed technical specifications for each furnace model, including crucible capacity, vacuum equipment, power supply requirements, and physical dimensions.

Control Systems: VIM furnaces feature advanced control systems with manual and automatic operation options, recipe management, and clear text displays for process monitoring.

Contact Information: The document includes contact details for ALD Vacuum Technologies' offices in Great Britain, Russia, Germany, China, the Far East, and the USA/Canada.
