VAR — The Process F A (-) E G B C H (+) Automatic Melt Controls Prior to start up, the electrode to be melted is loaded into the furnace. For specialty steels and superalloys, the electrode is previously cast in air or vacuum. For primary reactive metals like titanium, the electrode is fabricated from compacted sponge and/or scrap, or from a hearth melt process like Plasma or Electron Beam. Consarc pioneered in Automatic Melt Controls in the early 1970’s. At that time, before personal computers, melt rate was maintained using programmable calculators while operators adjusted the arc gap by...

Proprietary High Current DC power supply (Reactor or Thyristor based): Consarc is the only VAR furnace supplier that designs and builds our own custom designed DC power supplies. These units are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the VAR melting application. This provides Consarc VAR customers with a single source responsibility for the complete VAR and power transmission system. Consarc offers both its signature Variable Reactance Transformer (VRT) power supply as well as Thyristor SCR based units. Both systems are internally water cooled by a dedicated, dual pump,...

Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnaces Reactive Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnaces ‘RVAR’ Advantages of Consarc VAR furnaces A Consarc Reactive Metals Vacuum Arc Remelting (R-VAR) Furnace is a precision machine specifically designed and built for the remelting of reactive metals such as Titanium. The Consarc VAR process overcomes serious problems that have been historically associated with conventional VAR operations. Problems such as strong magnetic fields in the electrode melt area that cause uncontrolled metal stirring, uneven solidification, and alloy segregation. Imprecise positioning of the...
