The IMCS-1700GB is an induction melting furnace integrated with a glove box. It consists of an induction power supply, a temperature control system, and a glove box. Utilizing electromagnetic induction heating, the system can quickly achieve the desired experimental temperatures. IMCS-1700GB is designed for melting and processing air-sensitive metallic alloys

SPECIFICATIONS

Feature	Combined with VGB-6 glove box with gas purification system and automatic purging function to ensure both oxygen and humidity to be less than 1 PPM in the whole system with Max. Vacuum Level of 100Pa (Please Click the picture left for glove box detail specification)w 15KW induction power supply is included to surround the quartz tube for melting under an inert gas atmosphere with precise temperature control Graphite is used for crucible and insulation layers Quartz Chamber Dimension: ∅130 mm (OD) × ∅122 mm (ID) × 280 mm
Structure	The 5" quartz tube with a vacuum-sealed SS flange is built on the bottom of the standard glove box. Power Supply: AC 220V, single phase, 50HZ for VGB-6 Output Power: 1.7KW for VGB-6 304 stainless-steel is used for shell material with two HEPA dust filter (filtering particles ≥ 0.3 um) Purification Cylinder: equipped with BASF deoxygenation material and UOP dehumidification materials Water Probe: MICHELL (USA) brand, 0–1000 ppm, touch screen display, accuracy: 0.1 ppm Oxygen Transmitter: Bosch (Germany) brand, 0–1000 ppm, touch screen display, accuracy: 0.1 ppm Pressure Sensor: Setra (USA) brand, -2500 to 2500 Pa, touch screen display, accuracy: ±1 Pa Equipped with a two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump (with oil mist filter)
Induction Heating	15KW induction power supply is included Power Supply: AC220V, three phases, 60HZ Max. Output Power: 15KW Insulation Layers: Three-layer structure (graphite felt – alumina – high-temperature felt) The induction coil surrounded the outside of 5" quartz tube to heat the crucible inside the tube Coil Dimensions: 156 mm (OD) × 140 mm (ID) × 90 mm (H) Protective Shield: Three tempered glass panels encasing the quartz chamber for safety Cooling Fans: Four fans for enhanced heat dissipation Cooling Water Requirements: ≥ 0.2 MPa, ≥ 6 L/min
Quartz Chamber and Sealed Flange	∅130 mm (OD) × ∅122 mm (ID) × 280 mm Quartz furnace tube is included Lower Flange: Stainless steel flange with a needle valve and KF-25 vacuum port fixed on the furnace frame Upper Flange: Hinged type with 1/4" thermocouple feedthrough, needle valve, and barbed fitting Note: The vacuum pump is not necessary because the purification system of the glove box will make quartz tube O2 and H2O less than 1 PPM
Crucible & Refractory Liners	High Purity Graphite Crucible: 50.8 mm (OD) × 40 mm (ID) × 115 mm (H), with lid, maximum capacity: 50% of crucible volume the 2" graphite crucible is inserted inside the induction coil for sample melting. The fibrous alumina layer surrounds the crucible as the thermal insulation layer Three-layer special design refractory liner for thermal insulation to keep quartz temperature < 200oC Note: Graphite crucible is consumable, please click the picture above to order spare The customized graphite crucible is available upon request BN liner is available upon request to avoid sample contamination from graphite For low melting point alloys (MP< 600oC), Stainless-steel (SS316) is a better choice, which is available upon request.
Temperature Control System & Thermocouple	Precision PID-controlled digital temperature system with Max. programmable 28 segments is included with C type thermocouple(∅6.35 mm × 400 mm L) Protection Features: Overheat and thermocouple failure safeguards Temperature Accuracy: ±3 °C Heating Temperature Range: 800°C–1600°C (continuous); 2000°C (up to 30 minutes) Heating Rates: Room temperature to 1000°C (≤1°C/s), 1000°C to 1600°C (≤1°C/2s), 1600°C to 2000°C (≤1°C/4s)
Recirculation Water Chiller (optional)	The recirculating water chiller with a 15L/min flow rate and 12 L capacity is available upon request Digital temperature control and alerts are built into the chiller Click the Picture left to see more details
Vacuum System (optional)	The NRTL Certified 156 L/min Double Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump with Exhaust Filter is available upon request Communication Port: KF25 connection Click the Picture left to see more details
Compliance	NRTL (UL6101) Certification is available upon request at additional cost
Application Note:	A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 6 bars for safe operation Maximum internal pressure: 0.02 MPa Regularly perform regeneration to maintain the optimum purification efficiency The O2 sensor is consumable and its expected life span is around one year. Please order O2 sensor replacement at MTI at extra cost Avoid using flammable, explosive, or toxic gases unless proper safety measures are in place. MTI is not responsible for issues arising from hazardous gas usage. During experiments, ensure inert gas protection to prevent damage to the graphite crucible and thermocouple.
