Casting of (special) alloys by various techniques

Listing Description

Our facilities allow to melt metals and alloys under high-purity conditions and to realized high solidification rates in the casting process. In addition, our devices are suitable for the processing of reactive and high-temperature alloys (max. 2200°C).

Offer Details

Specifications and Deliverables:

  • Cold crucible casting
    • special device manufactured in-house ; development of IFW-Research Technology Department 
    • Contact-free inductive melting under protective gas or vacuum – no crucible
