Atmosphere Controlled Directional Solidification System with Optional Feeding Device - IMCS-1500RC

MTI

IMCS-1500RC is an induction melting and continuous casting furnace, which can cast rod, plate or wire continuously for various non-ferrous metals and alloys up to 5 kg at Max. 1500ºC under an Ar gas environment. This device is necessary for the preparation of metallic wire for additive manufacturing (AM).

Specifications

Max. melting capacity 5 kg (Au based)
Max. Melting point: 1500 ºC (1700ºC is available upon request at extra cost)
Casting Traction speed: 20cm/min
Types and sizes of castable profiles (please discuss with us for your application before purchasing):
Wire: φ6-φ30mm
Tube/Rod: φ10-φ50mm
Plate: Width: 2-70mm
Graphite crucible size: 160 × 220mm with an M50 thread (inner hole φ30mm)
Graphite lower mold: M50 × 150mm
Melting time: 10min
Protective Gas: argon, nitrogen with a purity of 99.99% (2L per hour needed)
Traction rod: ø8mm
Rapid cooling device: water-cooled copper mold
Casting: Traction pulling (speed adjustable), 8-10cm per minute, about 2.5KG per hour
Casting speed control is available according to customer request
Vacuum casting (5 kg or 10kg capacity) is available upon request at extra cost (an extra vacuum chamber is added)
Temperature Control Max. Working temperature 1500ºC (1700ºC is available upon request at extra cost)
B-type thermocouple allows the user to closely control and monitor the temperature with the most accurate readings
The heating is electronically controlled to minimize temperature overshoot and to hold the set-point temperature stable
Bottom-pour design of the crucible ensures minimal temperature drop in the metal casting during the crucible-to-flask transfer
Vacuum and Inert Gas Vacuum requirement: 1bar (-29.9" Hg) at sea level
The vacuum gauge and handle provide easy monitoring of vacuum pressure
Inert Gas Requirement: 5 liters/ minute @ 0.7 bar (10 psi) hi-purity nitrogen or argon
Double stage rotary vane vacuum pump is included with this casting system
Water Cooling 16L/min Flow, 6K BTU/hr water chiller is required, but not included (tap water or lab chiller water can be used)
Compliance CE certified
NRTL certification is available upon request at an extra cost
Application Notes Attention: A pressure regulator must be installed on your input gas tank and the output gas pressure set below 3 PSI at all times after opening the gas tank with the gas maintained in a continuous flowing condition. Gas build-up with pressure levels exceeding 3 PSI may cause irreversible damage to the furnace chamber.
Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages.
The flow rate for gases should be limited to < 200 SCCM (or 200ml/min)
Dimension 1000mm(L) x 500mm(W) x 1500mm(H)
Net Weight 150 kg
