Dec 9, 2021 · Namely, my interest is, how realistic is it to have a single power supply to power an inductive melting furnace for melting a range of metals with melting temperatures up to say iron, or …

Nov 21, 2018 · The melting point of gray iron is somewhere in the range of about 2,100 -2,200 F, depending on the Class of gray iron. I have melted Class 40 gray iron without problems, and it has a …

Jun 12, 2022 · Melting cast iron with propane is possible, but you would find it to be difficult. Aluminum and copper alloys are much easier. Your furnace bore size will be determined by your required …

Mar 8, 2017 · Did you use flux when melting the powder? Flux is used to dissolve surface oxides and to prevent further oxidation. Powdered metals have a lot of surface area and often contain a significant …

Nov 21, 2021 · Here is the biggest issue for me; even though the total power required for a non-ferrous melts may be comparable between resistive and induction, all the recommendations I receive for …

Dec 31, 2018 · I need a low-toxicity, low-melting point metal (before casting), to cast hardware parts. The cast object will be approx 4" x 1/2" x 1/4". After casting, the parts must not crack under torque or …

Jan 13, 2020 · A metal melting furnace by comparison is a blunt instrument. Like I mentioned, I went quite a ways down that path (high temp electric furnace) myself and wouldn't rule it out in the future, …

Feb 4, 2004 · The sparking (and therefore melting) end of the electrode is either in a vacuum (VAR) or under the slag formed on the surface of the molten metal (ESR - Electro slag remelt)Oxide …

Oct 12, 2020 · Use electric arc melting. It goes quick (100g steel melts in about 4 minutes) and costs way less energy than a gas or oil fires furnace, because the latter barely reaches the required …
