II. Working Principle and Core Advantages

Working Principle

The device operates in a micro-negative pressure environment (vacuum or protective gas). The high-frequency induction heating system rapidly heats and melts metal materials in a graphite crucible. During the melting process, materials can be added online via a vacuum-tight sealing system to achieve precise control of alloy composition. After the metal is fully melted, the rotary stirring function is activated to ensure uniform mixing of alloying elements and eliminate segregation. Finally, the molten metal is poured into water-cooled molds through an automatic or manual pouring system to produce high-quality alloy ingots or castings.
