Vacuum Induction Melting Strip Casting Furnaces

Used for the production of rare-earth magnets and metallic glasses, Strip Casting involves the induction melting of metal under vacuum or inert atmosphere. The alloy is then poured onto a water-cooled spinning copper wheel which rapidly quenches the metal, solidifying it into thin strips. A water-cooled material collection system breaks up the metal strip further, facilitating the cooling that yields superior magnetic properties.

Consarc Strip Casters are custom-designed for high-quality metallurgical processing, with an emphasis on high product throughput and industrial design for process flow, ergonomics, and safety.
