Induction furnaces in the aluminium industry

摘要

For 53 years, the Marx Group in Germany with its approximately 100 employees has been working in the furnace industry. The company's activities include planning and manufacturing of induction furnace plants, engineering, development, renovation, modernization and retrofitting of induction furnace plants, service and customer support. The company has thus gained extensive experience in working on almost all types of induction furnaces. Nearly every type of furnace has been serviced, repaired, retrofitted or modernized in its facilities. The company's sites in Iserlohn, Hennigsdorf, Donauwoerth, Germany, and in Youngstown, Ohio, USA provide well-aimed proximity to their customers in Europe and the US. Marx gives an overview of the different types of induction furnaces being used for melting, holding, and holding/casting of aluminium. Applications of the induction equipment will be described. The advantages of using an induction furnace, such as high melt quality, high flexibility, environmentally friendly, high power density, quick melting, homogeneous melts, etc. will be explained.
