Arc Melting Furnace

The Ants Arc Melting Furnace is a precision-engineered system designed to melt, alloy, and refine high-purity metals and advanced alloys using an electric arc generated between a tungsten electrode and the metal charge. Capable of reaching temperatures up to 3000°C, this furnace operates in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere to prevent oxidation and contamination, making it ideal for applications where material purity and compositional control are critical. 

Engineered for Precision & Purity

Using water-cooled copper crucibles and an arc generation mechanism, the system ensures fast, clean melting with excellent homogenization. The arc process enables small batch production of custom alloys or rare metals for research, prototyping, and specialty material development.
