|
Please email for lead time
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.
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 (25KW) 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

Power Supply

|
- 208 - 240 VAC, single phase, 50/60Hz, 7kW
- Output DC output: 350A/24V @ 35% duty cycle (max. 3.5 min continuous operation every 10 min)
208A/21.2V @ 60% duty cycle (max.6.0 min continuous operation every 10 min) 210A/18.4V @100% duty cycle (continuous operation)

Tungsten Electrode
 |
- 6 mm Dia. tungsten electrode with water cooling
- Easy electrode tilting and height adjustment (30 mm max) for multiple-cavity melting
- Capable of melting samples < 200 g iron-based alloy in each cavity up to 3500 °C.
|
Copper Crucible

|
- Water-cooled copper crucible plate with one large capacity with several small cavities (Pic. 1).
- Round cavity: 70 mm diameter x 15 mm Depth (Included)
- Rectangular cavity: 100 mm L x 40mm W x 15 mm Depth (optional at extra cost)
- Three 25mm dia. × 12.5 mm Deep small cavities are used for Ti melting to reduce the trace oxygen inside the chamber before processing, or small samples for < 20 g
- In order to melt the alloy uniformly, double side melting is required

Application & Warning Notes
|
- 5N purity Ar gas is required for arc melting. A gas purification module is recommended to ensure gas purity. (click Pic.1 to order)
- A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 psi for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator (Pic.2)
- To avoid any damage to the mechanical pump or turbopump, please install an Inline Particle Trap (maximum 1E-4 Torr vacuum with turbopump) on the pump inlet port (Pic. 3)
- Must Wear Welder Glass or Auto Welding Shade while observing the Arc while welding.
- The unit is designed for arc melting operation under tiny positive pressure or low vacuum (0.01 – 0.11 MPa pressure, or positive 0.01 MPa to negative 0.09 MPa pressure). Never operate the unit at high pressure!
- During the arc melting operation, never allow the electrode to touch the material or the copper crucible! Do not operate the mechanical manipulator during the melting process.
