Vacuum Induction Melting
is a highly flexible process for manufacturing an extensive
range of rare earth based metal and alloy systems.
With
reference to phase diagrams, vapour pressure curves and
Ellingham diagrams, LCM engineers have combined
materials technology with manufacturing excellence
to develop production techniques for a vast number
of metals and alloys.
Microstructural control is achieved
by careful selection of appropriate casting conditions.
In some instances,
material may be subjected to post-cast heat treatments
in order to give the required grain size and phase
distribution.
Individual melt sizes range from 5 to
300kg using any one of seven vacuum induction furnaces
at LCM.
Comprehensive production control provides excellent
melt reproducibility and so individual batch sizes
of any quantity are feasible, with typical production
batches ranging from tens of kilograms up to two tonnes
and above. |
