Tuesday July-01 2025 16:47:10
2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace is a melting device that can heat materials to an extreme temperature of 2600℃ under ultra-high vacuum environment by electromagnetic induction principle. It is designed for high-melting-point and highly active metal materials that cannot be processed by conventional melting methods.
The "2600 degrees" logo represents the extreme operating temperature of 2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace, which can meet the melting needs of most high-melting-point metals and alloys. Compared with the conventional arc furnace, which usually has a maximum operating temperature of 1800℃, the ultra-high temperature capability of 2600 degrees makes it an ideal choice for the research and development and production of high-melting-point metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, and special materials such as titanium alloys and nickel-based high-temperature alloys.
What are the advantages of 2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace?
2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace adopts pollution-free melting design. It uses electromagnetic suspension technology to keep the melt and the crucible wall in a non-contact state, which fundamentally solves the problem of crucible material contamination in the traditional melting process. It is especially suitable for the preparation of active metals such as titanium and zirconium and high-purity materials. The equipment is equipped with an advanced infrared temperature measurement system and a PLC automatic control module, which can achieve precise temperature control of ±1%, ensuring high stability of material properties and process repeatability. Its unique electromagnetic stirring function produces a strong stirring effect through the induction electromagnetic field, effectively promoting the uniform distribution of alloy components and reducing segregation, significantly improving the consistency of material properties. The system supports a variety of environmental conditions such as vacuum (ultimate vacuum degree 5×10⁻³Pa), inert gas and reactive atmosphere, and can meet the special process requirements of various materials. Compared with electric arc furnaces, this equipment completely avoids the risk of electrode carbonization, which has a decisive advantage in the production of special alloys with extremely strict carbon content control; at the same time, its structural characteristics of small specific surface area of the molten pool greatly reduce the burning loss of alloy elements and gas inhalation, providing more favorable conditions for precise control of composition.
What is the working principle of 2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace?
2600 Degree Electromagnetic Vacuum Melting Furnace uses electromagnetic induction heating and suspension technology to achieve pollution-free melting of metal materials in a vacuum or controlled atmosphere environment. First, the metal raw material is placed in a water-cooled copper crucible, evacuated or filled with inert gas; then, high-frequency alternating current is passed to generate an alternating electromagnetic field in the crucible, so that eddy currents are induced inside the metal and the temperature rises rapidly to melt. At the same time, the electromagnetic force suspends the molten metal to avoid contact with the crucible and prevent contamination. During the smelting process, the infrared temperature measurement system monitors the temperature in real time, and the PLC automatically adjusts the power to ensure precise temperature control. Electromagnetic stirring promotes uniform composition, and finally the melt is cooled and formed to obtain high-purity, uniform metal or alloy materials.
