Description of Vacuum Arc Melting System

CY207 is a Compact Vacuum Arc Melting Furnace with non-consumable tungsten electrode and water cooled

copper crucibles. Integrated mechanical manipulator can repeatedly tilt/rotate multiple metal ingots for remelting process.

It is an excellent tool for smelting metal alloys for phase diagram research.



Features of Vacuum Arc Melting System

1.Take turbo molecular pump system, ultimate vacuum degree ≤6X10-4Pa, individual pump

empty the arc melting chamber or arc levitation melting chamber, ultimate vacuum degree ≤2X10-4Pa.

2.The arc melting chamber can finish arc melting and suction casting process.

3.The arc melting chamber can do suction casting process for 5-10g aluminum, copper, alloys materials.

4.The arc melting electrode take international structure, electronic lifting, easy to operate.

5.Copper crucible has 7 Hemi-ball shape cave, each cave can melting 10g alloy material

Features Φ120mm front door for easy sample loading/unloadingA tinted observation window is installed on the front for instant monitoring of the entire melting process.Water cooled vacuum chamber(φ300mm × 320mmH), cold copper crucible and electrodeElectrode position (height) adjustment via hand wheel turningIntegrated mechanical manipulator made of stainless steel 1Cr13 can repeatedly tilt/ rotate multiple metal ingots without breaking the vacuum Water cooled copper hearth allow smelting multiple samples without cross contamination up to 3000°C
Vacuum Pressure Gauge Please select the anti-corrosive capacitance diaphragm gauge or mechanical vacuum pressure gauge from option bar. Digital pressure gauge is used for vacuum chamberMechanical pressure gauge is used when continuous flow of inert gas inside the chamber
Power supply Input Voltage: Single phase AC 220V+/- 15% . 50/ 60Hz(Three Phase AC 380V 50Hz is available upon request)Input Power: 6.3KW, 30A Max.Output Power DC, 56V (OVC), 10 - 190A max. adjustableOptional: larger current up to 300A is available at additional cost.
Max. Temperature ~ 4000°C , almost can melt all type metal ( < 10 g )Bottom-left picture is a 4.5 g tungsten melt drop Bottom-right picture is a 10g tungsten melt drop
Vacuum Chamber &Copper Hearth Vacuum chamber: Φ200mm×350mm, made of stainless steel with water cooling jacketWater cold copper hearth with 7 crucibles of 25mm dia.x 8 mm depthSolidified sample is about 20 mm half-round button in max. and sample weight is depended on material density.Customized copper hearth is available upon requestSample weight for each crucible can be estimated as: W (g) = 2/3 π r3 d ( d= density, g/cm3)
Electrode 4 mm dia. Tungsten electrode with water coolingTop hand wheel can move electrode cycle, upward and downward ( max. 30 mm) to melt seven sample in one batch
Vacuum Pump (Optional) Vacuum Level is dependent on the vacuum pump used:o 1E-3mbar via mechanical/roughing pumpo 1E-5mbar via turbo pump. We strongly recommend you consider Turbo-molecular Vacuum Pump Station for high quality melting.
Water Chiller & Gas (Optional) Water cooling is required ( not included ) for its chamber, copper mold and electrodeHigh purity Ar gas is required ( not included ).You may use 5% H2 + 95% Ar gas to better reduce oxidation
