VACUUM INDUCTION
MELTING FURNACE

VIM is used in secondary refining or metallurgy, to refine alloys in


fluid state and adjust chemical composition and temperature
It is also used in refining of many complex alloys in aerospace
engineering
Vacuum levels is set to be in the range of 10-1 to 10-4 mbar 
The melting process is comparatively easier in VIM, attributing
the independent control of time, pressure, temperature and
transport through melt stirring
Flexibility to control the alloy composition by sampling &
addition of required alloys

Specifications
Furnace Type: Cold wall
Melt Zone : Cylindrical
Melt Zone : Tilting / Bottom Pouring
Temperature Range: 800°C to 2200°C (furnace)
Vacuum & Vacuum System: 5 x 10-6 m.bar. rough vacuum by rotary-roots
combination, high vacuum by diffusion pump / turbo molecular pump
Instrumentation & Automation: Induction coil controller, pyrometer, PLC,
SCADA, HMI
Unidirectional
Induction Stirring 

ADVANTAGES
Batch Process
Quick change in program of
steels and alloys
Easy operation
Reduction in oxidation losses
Compositional tolerance
achieved
Precise temperature control
Low environmental pollution

APPLICATIONS
Aircraft engine components for casting
Used in making super alloys
High purity metals and alloys are refined
Investment casting
Strip casting
Atomizer in production of metal powders

Technology Advantages
Cost Effectiveness
2-3 times reduced process time 

50% less energy consumption

50 times less working gas consumption

Better Product Quality


Uniform case depth for complex shape parts

Better dimensional stability & No or Negligible

distortions, because process is performed at Lower

temperature and under vacuum

Higher surface case hardness (Increase by a factor

of 3) can be achieved  

Excellent wear resistance - the nitriding process

produces a dense, non-porous, very hard, not

brittle, and has a low coefficient of friction

Improves fatigue life, also improves corrosion

resistance.

Non toxic process and corresponds to all modern

requirements for environmental control.

Reproducible results and better accurate control
