Compact Vacuum Arc Melting System ( 208A) with Large Cavity up to 200 g (Fe) - EQ-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

SPECIFICATIONS:

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         Chamber Door    Front Window  Flashlight Insert   Manipulator
