Product catalog summary
Company Overview
Retech Systems LLC, a part of the SECO/WARWICK Group, has been a leader in vacuum metallurgical processing equipment since 1963. The company offers a wide range of resources, including technology and process development, catering to both laboratory-scale and custom-designed furnaces. Retech focuses on understanding customer needs and delivering cost-effective technologies.

Plasma Arc Melting (PAM)
Retech is renowned for its Plasma Arc Melting systems, which use electrically excited gases like helium or argon to melt materials in a sealed chamber. This process minimizes evaporative losses and produces high-tolerance alloys. The PAM systems are versatile, ranging from single torch lab-scale to high-volume multi-torch configurations, and are capable of producing ingots and powders.

Plasma Arc Welding (PAW)
The Plasma Arc Welding systems are designed for welding metals such as titanium sponge into electrodes or melting ingots. These multi-torch systems can operate with argon or helium and include automated welding sequences. They are adaptable for various compact geometries.

Laboratory Scale Plasma Furnaces
These furnaces are provided to various companies and institutions for development and sample production. They are suitable for processing reactive, refractory, and other metals, including silicon.

Plasma Hearth Melting
Plasma melting systems offer cost savings by eliminating the need for electrode welding and primary Vacuum Arc Remelting. They can be configured with multiple torches and feed systems for producing a variety of products from ingots to castings.

Plasma Torches
Plasma torches use an electrically excited gas to heat and melt materials, reaching temperatures over 10,000°C. These torches can be adapted to replace outdated models and are used in various applications, including alloy production and ingot casting.
