Processes
Vacuum and Controlled Atmosphere Heating
Vacuum Aluminum Brazing Furnaces (VAB)
Vacuum Aluminium Brazing (VAB) is utilized to perform fluxless brazing of aluminum components in a high vacuum environment. The process demands tight control of temperature uniformity together with low vacuum leak rates and high repeatability. VAB will provide a component with very clean, high quality, high strength brazed joints. Consarc offers a wide range ofhttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/vacuum-aluminum-brazing-furnaces-vab/...

Vacuum De-oiling Furnaces (VD)
Consarc has developed a range of vacuum thermal de-oiling furnaces to remove oils by volatilization at low pressure and temperature. Unlike aqueous cleaning processes, vacuum de-oiling does not have any requirements for waste water treatment. Also, oil removed from the components can be recycled. For removal of the oil, furnaces are fitted with a speciallyhttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/vacuum-de-oiling-furnaces-vd/...

Vacuum Heat Treatment and Brazing Furnaces (VHT)
Vacuum heat treatment is a well-established practice in the aerospace (both OEM and repair), land-based turbine, automotive and tool industries. Controlled thermal processing of components is carried out in a vacuum environment to eliminate the deleterious effects of the charge reacting with the gases present in the air....

Electromagnetic Cold Crucible (EMCC)
Electromagnetic Cold Crucible (EMCC) is an innovative process utilizing a segmented water-cooled copper crucible for refractory-free induction melting within a vacuum or controlled atmosphere. Melting in a water-cooled copper crucible eliminates the possibility of contamination from the fused silica solar crucible. The copper crucible is made up of water-cooled segments or “fingers.” The magnetic fieldhttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/electromagnetic-cold-crucible-emcc/...

ElectroSlag Remelting Furnaces (ESR)
Consarc brand electroslag remelting furnaces improve the efficiency and performance of the process by combining the use of a “high fill ratio” electrode (an electrode whose diameter approaches that of the crucible) with an AC line frequency furnace design in which the main power conductors are arranged coaxially around the melt zone. The high fill ratio electrode provideshttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/electroslag-remelting-furnaces-esr/...

Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnaces (VAR)
VAR Furnaces are used for melting material that have already been melted and cast into electrodes that are near their full packing density. Consarc utilizes fully computerized controls to optimize reproducibility and ease of operation. Custom furnaces in laboratory scale or for the production of unusual geometric configurations are available upon request....

Vacuum Cap Furnaces (VCAP)
The VCAP furnace is designed for Induction Melting a solid charge in an air atmosphere (or vacuum), with final degassing stage under vacuum. The final pouring of the metal is performed in air or under protective atmosphere of inert gas. Configuration is based on the Inductotherm brand of steel shell induction furnaces which are fully adaptedhttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/vacuum-cap-furnaces-vcap/...
