Metal Melting Process

  1. Raw Material Pretreatment: Scrap metals are sorted, cleaned and cut into smaller pieces to remove impurities.
  2. Charging: The prepared materials are gradually added into the furnace crucible to avoid overloading.
  3. Melting: Metals are melted through electromagnetic induction heating while maintaining proper temperature control.
  4. Alloying: Alloy elements can be added and mixed evenly according to production requirements.
  5. Refining and Homogenization: The molten metal is held at temperature to remove gases and impurities.
  6. Tapping and Casting: After quality confirmation, the furnace is tilted to pour molten metal into molds.
  7. Furnace Cleaning: The furnace is cleaned and prepared for the next melting cycle.
