Quality Castings Improves Melt Quality With SPAL Argon Shielding

摘要

Quality Castings, which pours castings from fractions of an ounce to 60 lbs., invited Air Liquide, Houston, Texas, to implement its SPAL argon shielding technology on one of its 300-lb. capacity induction melting furnaces for 316 and 15-5 stainless steel alloys. An Air Liquide application specialist evaluated the induction furnace and determined the optimum cryogenic liquid argon flow rate. He also provided safety talks prior to the initial test, onsite training, engineering and troubleshooting.
