If you want to do casting at home, you’ll need a way to melt metal. [Jake]’s DIY foundry furnace gets hot enough to melt aluminium, and is built out a mix of scrap parts. The chamber of the ...

Arc melting furnace can melt metals and alloys at over 3000°C with the aid of the electric arc between the non-consumable tungsten electrode and the copper crucible. Therefore, the arc furnace is a ...

The furnace is also able to produce the alloys of some reactive metals such as Ti and Zr in a water-cooled copper crucible using the ISM coil. By controlling the chamber pressure and the temperature, ...
