Casting Magnesium alloys under inert atmosphere with a Topcast TVC-XL
15/03/2016
In this video you may follow the casting process of Magnesium alloy with a Topcast TVC-XL Vacuum Casting Machine. The process cycle starts with the insertion of the metal charge into the crucible and of the refractory mould into the mold chamber; then you may have a look at the monitoring system showing the process variables. Then the alloy charge is heated and melt...
Melting pure platinum

In this video you can follow the melting and pouring of pure platinum using a Topcast TMF/R Melting Furnace. The process starts with the loading of platinum sheets into the crucible and the placement of a mold (in this case another crucible) . Then the platinum is heated and melt into the crucible by induction. Then the crucible is rotated by means of an handwheel:...
Melting a steel sample by means of a Topcast 12kW induction melter
14/05/2015
In this video you can follow the melting of a sample of steel scraps using a Topcast TMF12P Induction Melting Furnace. It is a very fast analysis method to evaluate the steel content in a lot of metal scraps, coming from a container, truck or ship. The resulting ingot can be analysed in an XRF fluorescence tester. The same furnace can melt...
