Casting
Vacuum Induction Melting is a highly flexible process for manufacturing an extensive range of rare earth based metal and alloy systems.
With reference to phase diagrams, vapour pressure curves and Ellingham diagrams, LCM engineers have combined materials technology with manufacturing excellence to develop production techniques for a vast number of metals and alloys.
Microstructural control is achieved by careful selection of appropriate casting conditions. In some instances, material may be subjected to post-cast heat treatments in order to give the required grain size and phase distribution.
Individual melt sizes range from 5 to 300kg using any one of seven vacuum induction furnaces at LCM. Comprehensive production control provides excellent melt reproducibility and so individual batch sizes of any quantity are feasible, with typical production batches ranging from tens of kilograms up to two tonnes and above.
