Induction Casting Equipment

What is induction casting?

The induction casting process is an efficient way to create complex or simple designs from melted materials. After the material is melted and heated to the appropriate temperature, it is poured into a mold or cavity to retain its shape during solidification.

Casting is a manufacturing process that’s used to create parts and tools from various materials. Molds can be made from expendable or long-lasting materials. To keep the sample from being contaminated during induction casting, vacuum or protective inert gas (usually argon) is often used.

What are the main types of induction casting?

In metallurgy, induction casting is a casting method in which metal is heated by an electromagnetic field and then poured into a mold. This method of casting is often used on larger projects because it is very efficient and produces high-quality results. There are two main types of induction casting: static and rotary.

Static induction casting is the more common of the two methods. During this process, the mold is mounted on a turntable and the metal is heated by inductors placed around the mold. The metal is then poured into molds and allowed to cool.

Rotary induction casting is a more advanced method and is used for larger projects. During this process, the mold is mounted on a rotating platform and the metal is heated by inductors placed around the mold.
