Item Number: SP-MSM200
|
EQ-SP-MSM200 is a compact arc melting furnace with a water-cooled copper hearth to melt metallic samples up to 200g (Fe as ref.). A built-in mechanical manipulator is included for tilting and rotating metal ingots for the re-melting process. This furnace also can be used for hydrogen plasma arc melting ( please see option note at the bottom of the page ) Note: Upgrade Max current to 250A, since July 15, 2023

Features

|
- Designed for melting single samples of 200g (Fe alloy) up to 3500 °C under Ar gas.
- Water-cooled vacuum chamber, electrode, and copper hearth with one larger cavity (round or rectangular) and several small cavities.
- Powerful arc melting power supply (8 KW) enables reliable, stable arc ignition
- Easy electrode tilting and height adjustment via a handwheel
- A built-in mechanical manipulator for tilting and rotating samples without breaking the vacuum
- A tinted observation window on the front for monitoring the melting process
