Application Cases：

Vacuum plasma arc melting furnace has an important role in industrial applications, the following are some specific application cases:

1. Alloy design and composition optimization:Vacuum plasma arc melting furnaces are widely used for alloy design, composition optimization and tissue regulation. This type of melting furnace is able to generate an electric arc in a high vacuum environment, which provides a high-density energy beam for the target material and realizes the rapid melting of the target material. Due to the stability of the molten pool liquid level, less splash, no oxidation, high efficiency, supplemented by electromagnetic stirring, solidification of the organization is uniform and dense, so that it has become the main tool for the development and design of new metal materials.

2. Melting of refractory metals and special alloys:vacuum plasma arc melting furnace is particularly suitable for melting titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium and other active and high melting point of the metal and their alloys. These metals are difficult to melt under conventional conditions, but in the vacuum plasma arc melting furnace, due to its high energy density and vacuum environment, it can realize the efficient melting of these metals.

3. Production of high-precision metal materials: Compact vacuum arc melting furnaces are characterized by small size, flexible operation and low energy consumption, and are suitable for small-lot, high-precision production. This kind of melting furnace realizes high efficiency melting and purity enhancement of metal materials by generating electric arc in high vacuum environment.

4. Remelting of special steel and high-temperature alloys: in the mid-1950s, due to the needs of missiles and heavy weaponry production, vacuum arc melting furnaces began to be used for remelting of high-grade alloy steel and high-temperature alloys. This melting furnace can produce products with special performance requirements, such as forging billets used in the manufacture of generator shafts and rolls.

5. Application of plasma induction furnace:plasma induction furnace is a new type of melting equipment jointly composed of induction furnace and plasma furnace gun. The high temperature heat source of this type of furnace overcomes the problems of low slag temperature and poor reactivity within conventional melting methods, creating conditions for reducing the sulfur content in the metal.

These application cases demonstrate the diverse applications of vacuum plasma arc melting furnaces in materials science and industrial production, especially in the production of high-performance alloys and specialty metal materials.
