EQ-SP-MSM130 is a mini-arc melter, which can be placed inside a glovebox for air-sensitive materials. It is a smart tool to melt air-sensitive alloy, refractory metal tube seals, and vacuum casting. With additional add-ons, it can also be used outside of the glovebox as the conventional arc melter.
Note: Upgrade Max current to 185A, since July 15, 2023
SPECIFICATIONS:
Features
|
- A water-cooled copper hearth has 4 small cavities for alloy melting of 4 x 8 g up to 2500ºC max
- The central tube holder allows refractory tube seals, such as Ta, Nb, and Mo.
- 6.6 " ID (168 mm) quartz chamber for observation and protection.
- Compact footprint: can put in a standard Ar gas glovebox with a purification system
- The power and water feedthrough will be provided for the glovebox version.

|
Vacuum casting (optional)
|
- The water-cooled casting mold by vacuum suction is available upon request at the extra cost
- The casting mold is made of copper and only can be located underneath one of the cavity
- The standard casting mold is for the rod of 6 mm dia x 50 mm L. Other size rods (3-5 mm) are available
- The casting mold kit includes all necessary components as the picture below for immediate use
|
For use under ambient conditions only
 
|
- For the product option of ambient condition, a few additional parts will be added.
- Valves and fittings for gas inlet and outlet.
- Stainless steel protection box with eye protection cover.
- Vacuum valve and fittings
- Feedthroughs will be removed.
|
Vacuum Pump
(Optional) |
- The vacuum pump is optional and the vacuum level is dependent on the vacuum pump used:
|
| Application Notes |
- High-purity inert gas with at least 5N purity (> 99.999%) is required (not included)
- 5% Hydrogen + 95% Argon gas may be used to prevent oxidation during the melting process.
- Combine with MTI 's MI melter, low speed saw, you can build an integrity small metallographic lab at a low cost
