Melting plants

Induction furnaces are used for melting (predominantly) metallic materials in the crucible.

Induction furnaces offer the following advantages:

• short fusing times by high power densities
• high fusing temperatures at high temperature-accuracy possible
• ideally suitable for the production of special alloys - the material burn-up is extremely small
• alloy change is easily possible
• the accuracy of the analysis is very high
• the homogeneity of the melt is guaranteed by good circulation of the electrolyte
• good conditions of work for the service personnel
  

The most important function groups of an induction melting plant are:

• the crucible furnace as fusion aggregate
• the medium frequency reactive power compensation
• a frequency converter for the production of the medium frequency achievement
• the plant control and monitoring
• the cooling
• hydraulics
  

Depending upon casting processes it can be favorable, to use a:

• Tilting crucible furnace
• Stroke crucible furnace
• Stroke top hat furnace
• or several different furnaces
  

Depending upon kind of the schmelzgutes the crucible can be electrically leading or non conductive.
Fe-alloys are melted mainly in the electrically non conductive, rammed crucible tilting melting furnace.
For NE metals (often leading finished) crucibles from Clay-graphite and/or siliziumkarbid are used. If it is to be poured off directly from the crucible, the use of stroke furnaces is optimal.
It is also possible to melt with inductive heating glasses and ceramic(s); high temperature-steady special crucibles (graphite, platinum) and inert gases are used.
