Vacuum Melting Furnace
Model： Magcaster/FMI
Magcaster / FMI is a vacuum melting furnace that uses induction heating to melt functional materials. It employs the strip casting method and is ideal for producing magnetic materials.
Features
- It is possible to melt alloys including active metals such as neodymium, aluminum, titanium, and magnesium, which are rare earth metals essential for functional materials.
- The raw material addition mechanism makes it possible to produce alloys of metals with different melting points and vapor pressures.
It has a fixed amount pouring program as standard, allowing for highly reproducible tilting and pouring. - By combining a water-cooled roll cooling mechanism, a water-cooled drum cooling mechanism, and a collection container mechanism, it is possible to produce thin flakes of uniform size.
- The collection container mechanism allows the active metals to be collected in a container after melting without coming into contact with oxygen.
Applications
- Rare-earth metals : Magnets (Nd-Fe-B, Sm-Co)
- Magnetic materials
- Hydrogen-absorbing alloys
