Melting and alloying metals
The Edmund Buhler AM 500 arc melter is used for melting metals up to 500 g at temperatures up to 3,500°C, typically to form an alloy.
Metals are placed in the water- cooled copper crucible mould, then heat is generated by an electric arc struck between the tungsten electrode and the metals, melting the metals to form a button or rod sample. Repeated melting is performed to improve the homogeneity of the alloy.
The Indutherm VTC 200 V tilt casting machine is used for melting metals at temperatures up to 2,100°C.
It uses induction heating for melting the metals, which are then poured into a mould to form the desired shape.Ìý The volume of the ceramic crucible is180 cm³ and the graphite mould is 145 cm³.
It provides reliable and efficient melting and casting of a wide range of metals.
