2 in 1 Vacuum Melt Spinning System with Melting-Casting Function - EQ-VTC-500
|
|
Please email for lead time
Item Number: VTC500
|
EQ-VTC-500 is a lab-scale vacuum melt spinning system for preparing amorphous metallic ribbons. In this technique, metal ingots (<50g) are melted via the induction heating method and then propelled by overpressurizing the crucible. A thin stream of molten is then dropped onto a fast-moving surface of a scold copper drum. This causes rapid quenching & solidification of the molten and thus forms the liquid metal alloy.
One extra swingable induction coil is included in the vacuum chamber to make the melting casting sample small ingot ( < 500 g)
SPECIFICATIONS:
Features
 |
- The complete system consists of the stainless steel vacuum chamber, turbo & mechanical pumps, 25KW induction heating system, rack system, and one meter long discharging tubular collector
- 300mm diameter copper flywheel with max. 45 meter /sec. spinning speed
- Lab-scale system for melting metallic samples up to 50 grams per batch (material melting point < 1000°C)
- Crucible to copper wheel distance adjustable 0~10mm (manual adjustment)
- TC insert to the bottom of the crucible can measure the temperature above the melt (direct contact between the TC and melt should be avoided)
- Featured a position adjustable "scraper" can prevent ribbon spin-off to the inside of the chamber
- Vacuum casting attachment is optional as a great add-on feature of the melt spinning system. (Please refer to the picture to the left to see the setups for vacuum casting and melt spinning. Casting crucible and mold is not included.)

| Application Notes |
- For better melt spinning, the sample shall is > 5 mm diameter bulk. If the sample is powder and smaller particle, must be pre-melt and casting into a > 5 mm diameter bulk
- Please be advised that it is not every material that can be spun. In order to melt-spun successfully, material melton must match suitable viscosity. It is the customer's responsibility to find the right composition, crucible size, and power supply
- For the materials that can not be heated by induction well, you may add a graphite heating ring outside BN crucible to enhance temperature higher. Please contact the MTI team for details
