Induction Melting System in Glove-box with O2 & H2O < 1 ppm - IMCS-GB1700

 IMCS-GB1700 is a 15KW induction melting system in a glovebox with the gas purification ( O2 & H2O < 1 ppm ), which is designed for melting and processing air-sensitive metallic alloys.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Structure	The 5"  quartz tube with a vacuum-sealed SS flange is built on the bottom of the standard glove box. Graphite crucible with the thermal insulation layer is placed inside the quartz tube The glovebox with a purification system and automatic purging function ensures both of oxygen and humidity less than 1 PPM in the whole system.  (Please click picture left for detail specifications of the glove-box) One KF50  flange with dead cover is installed to connect the glovebox toa 2" tube furnace for annealing 15KW induction coil surrounds the quartz tube for melting under an inert gas atmosphere with precision temperature control The solidified alloy can be taken out and processed inside the glovebox, such as cutting, ball milling, and packing to keep the sample from the air.
Induction Heating	15KW induction power supply is included  ( click picture left to see detail specification) The induction coil surrounded the outside of 5" quartz tube to heat the crucible inside the tube. The 2" graphite crucible is inserted inside of the induction coil for sample melting. The fibrous alumina layer  surrounds the crucible as the thermal insulation layer Precision temperature controller with 30 segments programmable is included with B type thermal couple, which can provide +/- 2ºC accuracy up to 1700ºC. Note: for low melting point alloy, you may choose 7 kW induction power supply
Water Chiller	The recirculating water chiller with a 16 L/minute flow rate is included for the cooling induction coil.  Digital temperature control and alert are built in the chiller. Click the picture left to see detailed specifications
Quartz Tube and Flanges	130mm(OD) x 122mm(ID) x 360mm(L) Quartz furnace tube is included, (click pic.1  for replacement ) Top Flange:  Hinged type with 1/4'' thermocouple feedthrough, needle valve, and barbed fitting. (Pic.2) Bottom Flange: Stainless steel flange with a needle valve and KF-25 vacuum port. (Pic.3) KF25 right angle valve & clamps and 1000mm long SS bellows are included for the vacuum pump. (Pic.4) The vacuum pump is not included, please click Pic. 5  to choose one Note:  The vacuum pump is not necessary because the purification system of the glovebox will make quartz tube O2 and H2O less than 1 PPM.  Pic.1         Pic.2    Pic.3          Pic. 4        Pic. 5
Crucible & Refractory liners	High Purity Graphite Crucible: 2" OD x 1.57"ID x 4" Depth (4.3'' Height) is included.   Max. sample capacity: 60% of the volume of the crucible. Three-layer special design refractory liner for thermal insulation to keep quartz temperature < 200oC      Note: Graphite crucible is consumable, please click the picture the above-right to order spare.  The customized graphite crucible is available upon request. BN liner is available upon request to avoid sample contamination from graphite.  For low melting point alloys ( MP< 600oC),  such as Li, and Al-Mg alloys, Stainless steel ( SS316 ) is a better choice, which is available upon request.
Power Regiment	220VAC +/- 10% 50/60 Hz Single phase 16KW Max 70A breaker required
Net Weight	200 kg
Shipping Weight & Dimension	Total 2 Pallets
Warranty	One-year limited warranty with lifetime support
Compliance	NRTL (UL 6101 ) Certification is available upon request at additional charges
Operation  Video
Application Notes	A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 6 bars for safe operation Regularly perform regeneration to maintain the optimum purification efficiency The O2 sensor is consumable and its expected life span is around one year. Please order O2 sensor replacement at MTI at extra cost
