The SP-MSM-VC-8 is an automated arc melting system equipped with vacuum casting stations designed for high-throughput and autonomous experiments. It features a water-cooled copper hearth with eight identical cavities for independent vacuum casting. The water-cooled tungsten electrode precisely melts each sample using pre-set current, time, and rasterizing speed under a programmable CNC stage. Moreover, the glovebox ensures a clean and oxygen-free environment for metallurgical research.SPECIFICATIONS: Features Designed for high-throughput and autonomous experiments up to 8 samples, 30 grams each. Glove-box ensures arc melting in an ultra-clean gas environment with 0.3μm during cycling. Hinged front window panel for easy equipment loading Handheld arc melting gun with KF40 feedthrough for alternative manual operation. All the feedthroughs are included. pic.1 pic.2 pic.3 pic.4 Arc Melting Power Supply 480VAC, 3p, 50/60Hz, 25kW (400VAC is also available upon request) Up to 630 A power output Water Chiller (optional) KJ-5300 recirculating water chiller (16 L/min) is required but not included for the water cooling of copper hearth Utility Requirements 99.99% inert gas 5% hydrogen gas balended with inert gas Water inlet/outlet, compression tube fittings for Ø12×Ø8 PU tubing. Compliance CE certified NRTL (UL 6101 ) or CSA Certification is available upon request at additional charges Application Notes & Warnings Regularly perform regeneration to maintain optimum purification efficiency. The O2 and moisture sensor is consumable and its expected lifespan is around one year. The use of corrosive gasses is prohibited as they will damage the water and oxygen sensors! During the arc melting operation, never allow the tungsten tip to touch the material or the copper crucible! Move the glove and hand away from the copper crucible while the sample is hot or the arc melting is in operation! Use tweezers to manipulate the sample only after the sample has been cooled down. Never do the arc melt outside of the copper crucible! It may damage the glove box and cause electrical injury to the user. The user must wear tinted goggles when operating the equipment
