The Story

AM-MSM-36 is an automated arc melting system designed for melting 36 pellets per batch of metals and alloys via a revolving stage. The XYZ sample manipulator transfers samples between each location and flips sample for multiple melting cycles. In addition, the melting current, time, and distance are programmable for individual sample that allows different operation parameters for different kinds of materials. The transparent melting chamber allows for in-situ optical measurement and particle scattering during melting and solidification process. The system also comes with a visual camera to monitor the sample positions as safety interlocks. 

SPECIFICATIONS:

Power
  • 120 VAC, 15 A, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 kVA for the controller and melting chamber
  • 208-240VAC, 40 A, 50/60 Hz, 7 kVA for the DC power supply. 

General Process
  1. Place the pelletized sample on the sample stage and close the chamber.
  2. Set the melting parameters, including time, current, and the number of cycles.
  3. The XYZ stage transfers the sample to the arc-melting copper hearth, which then raises the sample to the top melting chamber.
  4. The system begins melting upon preset parameters.
  5. After melting, the hearth retracts to the original position
  6. Sample is flipped 180 degrees for remelting purposes.
  7. Repeat the steps 3 to 5. 
  8. The x-y stage repositions the sample to its original spot and prepares for the next one.
  9. This procedure is repeated for each sample until all 36 samples are melted and examined.
  10. Finally, remove the sample tray and position the next one on the stage

Melting Chamber
  • Air-tight quartz chamber
  • Water-cooled copper hearth
  • 4 mm tungsten wobble electrode

DC Power Supply
  • MSM-PS250 DC power supply 
  • 60% @ 250A, 100% @ 200A 
  • Minimum DC output: 5A

Sample Holder
  • Aluminum plate with 36 cavities (⌀ 10 mm, 1-2 grams sample per cavity)

Water Chiller

(Optional)
  • KJ-5000 recirculating water chiller or equivalent is required but not included. 

Vacuum Pump

(Optional)
  • 240 L/min rotary vane pump or equivalent is required but not included. 

Optional for Automation
  • Combining the automatic dispenser, mixer, and pellet press below with the arc melter can fully automate materials research of alloys and metals in discovery of new materials.

Auto dispenser                         Ball milling                               Pellet press
Compliance
  • CE certified
  • NRTL (UL 6101 ) or CSA Certification is available upon request at additional charges of $3500.00
