1100°C Small‑Scale High‑Temperature Induction Melting Furnace‑Lab‑Scale Alloy‑Sample Melting Equipment

1100°C Small‑Scale High‑Temperature Induction Melting Furnace adopts medium‑frequency electromagnetic induction heating, featuring fast heating‑up and high thermal efficiency. It is suitable for small‑batch metal and alloy‑sample melting experiments in universities and research institutes. The equipment can work under air or inert‑gas (argon/nitrogen) atmosphere; some configurations support simple vacuum environment to avoid high‑temperature metal oxidation. Interchangeable crucible types make it a benchtop melting device for preparing alloy samples in material‑science research. Zhengzhou Chengyue provides custom‑built services for power, crucible capacity and atmosphere system according to experimental requirements.

2. Applicable Materials & Application Scenarios

Within 1100 °C temperature range, this furnace is suitable for non‑ferrous metals and partial alloy samples whose melting points are below 1100 °C: aluminum, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, zinc, zinc‑based alloys, partial lead‑tin alloys for small‑batch melting and formula‑testing experiments.

Application Scenarios：Material‑science laboratories of universities, new‑material R&D institutes, alloy‑formula exploration and small‑sample casting sampling. Not suitable for high‑melting‑point metals such as ferrous steels.

3. Key Operation Notes

• For active metals such as Al and Mg, inert‑gas (Ar/N₂) atmosphere is strongly recommended to reduce high‑temperature oxidation loss;

• Graphite crucibles cannot be exposed to high‑temperature air for long‑term operation due to rapid oxidative wear; alumina crucibles are preferred under air conditions;

• Induction‑coil water‑cooling must work normally; never run the furnace under water‑shortage condition;

• Raw materials should be fed in small pieces instead of large ingots to improve melting efficiency;

• Fully cool down the furnace before opening chamber and taking samples after melting completion.

4. Configuration Selection Suggestions

• For non‑reactive alloys under air environment: Basic model equipped with alumina crucible;

• For anti‑oxidation requirement of Al‑Mg active alloys: Select gas‑path system for Ar/N₂ protective atmosphere;

• For high impurity‑control requirement: Upgrade to sealed chamber with simple vacuum system;

• For casting‑sampling requirement: Custom‑built version with manual tilting‑pouring mechanism.
