This innovative, patented process utilizes a segmented water-cooled copper crucible for refractory-free induction melting. Melting in a water-cooled copper crucible eliminates the possibility of reactions with refractory crucibles allowing melting of reactive metals and alloys requiring super-clean melting conditions.

Some features of the modern Consarc ISM furnace are:

• Robust segmented copper crucible machined from a single forging
• Crucible life of tens of thousands of heats
• Frequency matched Inductotherm ISM power supplies
• Ability to superheat the molten bath
• Centrifugal casting available for thin walled sections
• Systems interchangeable with traditional induction furnaces utilizing crucibles

Consarc and its technology partners have experience in melting over 3,000 different alloys in ISM.
