SUMMARY:New concept of ni-superalloy scrap remelting VIM furnace of industrial scale
DESCRIPTION:Revert of superalloy scrap from investment casting is one of the most vital objectives for investment casting companies. Yielding only 20-40 % and selling back now the remaining 60-80% of superalloys to the alloy suppliers as a scrap, investment casters could improve their economy by remelting their own high-quality well-controlled scrap into barsticks at their own VIM furnace. Investment casting VIMs are not optimally designed for this, and usually fully engaged with their own program. Big alloy VIMs could easily remelt the scrap but require foundry infrastructure and are often not affordable for investment casters. DANIELI group as a full line plant supplier in the metals sector has developed a special scrap remelting VIM furnace concept: a very short cycle time, IGBT or SCR power supply parameters and a crucible geometry optimal for un-bulky charge, easy and fast automated back-charging, easy cleaning and maintenance, robust and fast vacuum system, no shop cranes needed, no scrap crushing needed. A special focus was put on operator friendly design. This new furnace concept sets a new milestone in economic and environment-friendly recycling of the high-value raw materials used and processed in investment casting. The concept is applicable for 100-500 kg casting weight.
