Note: Melting of Ni based alloy samples
Objective:
Superheating molten metal for a different sample mass.
End Product:
Ni mass
Equipment:
Ambrell EASYHEAT 10 kW, 150-400 kHz solid state induction power supply with a workhead and coil specifically designed for this application.
Materials:
Ni based alloy between 10 - 18g (0.35 - 0.63 ounce)
Temperature:
2642 - 2912 °F (1450 - 1600 °C)
Frequency:
268 kHz
Testing:
A single-position nine-turn helical coil was used to generate the required heating for the application. The 16-gram slug of steel was placed into the coil and supported with a ceramic rod. When the sample was melted the part changed shape to an inverted tear drop.
The customer was looking for repeatable superheating of the molten metal for a different sample mass. They were holding parts on a copper hearth with a central hole. The testing met the client's objectives.
Benefits:
-
Hands-free heating
-
Involves no operator skill required for manufacturing
-
Even distribution of heating Fast, controllable temperature ramp
-
Consistent results
