A Vacuum Heating, Melting and Sintering Furnace: Its Construction, Operation and Maintenance

Abstract

Furnaces for melting small charges of metals, as well as for sintering powdered metal products under high vacuum, is described. Main components of equipment are power source with 20-kw motor generator set, inductor coil consisting of 20 ft 1/4 in. standard weight copper pipe wound into 5-1/2 turn coil, vacuum chamber and manifold of stainless steel, diffusion pump used as vacuum booster pump of 1250 cu ft per min capacity at 2 microns pressure, and dual chamber type dryer with a reactivating system.
