Induction melting is an efficient and cost-effective way to raise the temperature of metals or ores to their melting points and to keep that temperature for different metallurgical processes, such as smelting, alloying, mixing, and casting.
The induction furnace is basically a coil that carries an alternating electrical current, which encircles the container with the metal. The eddy currents that are induced in the metal, will produce extremely high temperatures for both melting metals and creating alloys with exact compositions.
Melting is often the initial step when producing a useful product. Induction melting is both rapid and effective. By altering the geometry of the induction coil, the furnace can accommodate charges of varying sizes, such as the volume of a coffee mug or even hundreds of tons of molten metal. Further, with adjustable frequency and power, our company can accommodate different metals and materials such as Iron, Steel and Stainless Steel alloys, Copper and Copper-based alloys, Aluminum, and Silicon. All induction furnaces are custom-designed to ensure their efficiency.
VS Resistance heated furnace: With high heat efficiency, melting fast, small size and energy saving by 30%, the resistance or silicon carbide stock is easy to damage.
VS Coal, Gas, and Diesel Furnace: It facilitates the adjustment of solution composition and temperature, with reduced oxidation of burning. The bubble of the foundry is 1/3 to 1/4, and the reject rate is down 1/2 to 2/3, making the cast have higher mechanical strength. Moreover, induction melting is capable of melting a scrap of processing and the small pieces due to its electromagnetic stirring effect, reducing the cost of materials. This way of melting is also beneficial to environmental protection since noise caused by it is far below the towering equipment, and hence labor intensity of workers and working conditions have been improved. However, cast-iron crucibles used in Coal and gas furnaces will increase the impurity of aluminum alloy compared to graphite crucibles used in induction melting furnaces.
VS SCR or Frequency Melting Furnace: Similar to the Resistance heated furnace, the melting speed is fast, and the small size brings over 20% energy saving. The electromagnetic stirring effect is slight in this way, which earns the longer service life of the crucible. Also, by adjusting the frequency to achieve power regulation, melting speed can be fastened, material elements burning loss lessened, and better energy saving benefited. Especially for non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel, copper and silicon, aluminum, the cost for the casting is reduced.
Such as equipment 70KW melting aluminum, the cost of melting IT is 70% for a resistance melting furnace, 70% for a frequency melting furnace, 60% for a diesel melting furnace, and 80% for an SCR melting furnace.
