Vacuum melting and degassing furnace

Typical Vacuum Degassing Furnace (VCAP) processes can be:

• Melting metal in air (vacuum melting optional)
• Fusion starting from a solid charge under controlled atmosphere
• Bath homogenization and analysis
• Vacuum degassing (of hydrogen and removal of nitrogen)
• Reduction of vaporizing elements or low pressure like Pb, Cd, Bi, Zn
• Vacuum deoxidation according to the CO reaction equation
• Decarburization – intensified reaction of CO reaction under low
  pressure allowing an excellent level of decarburization
• Ability to inject argon through a porous plug

Important advantages of using a degassing furnace:

• In the general case, significant improvement in
  mechanical properties of the treated material, such as the elastic limit, resilience, resistance, fracture under stress or by fatigue under high temperature
• Improved technological characteristics, such as hot
  hot malleability, weldability and machinability
• Better metal purity due to carbon deoxidation and smaller residual inclusions
• Significant reduction in dispersion in product properties and
  features.
