heating furnace / induction / controlled atmosphere / vacuum

Induction furnaces offer the possibility to carry out complex processes at high temperatures (2,800°C), with a rapid rise in temperature (30°C/s). It also guarantees that the material worked on is pure (e.g. Titanium, Inconel…) or to use materials in an ATEX, corrosive or nuclear environment (Uranium, Zirconium, Glass…).

The elaboration and fusion of high added value materials or the improvement of the materials’ physical properties all take place in vacuum or controlled atmosphere furnaces. The technologies used can be a cold crucible (crucible with cooled copper or stainless steel parts), a hot crucible (graphite or other) or a susceptor or muffle radiating on the heated material. Therefore, cold electric insulating materials (ceramic, glass, enamel, silicon) can be treated in our induction furnaces. Plasma solutions can be considered as a mean to purify the materials.
