Method and apparatus for moldings a titanium component, utilizes a vacuum based cold induction fusion crucible

摘要

The method utilizes a vacuum chamber (15) within which is contained a cold-induction heated crucible (1). The crucible is configured to contain the levitation of the metal in the smelt state. A mould (20) is located under the crucible and is driven in rotation in preparation to receiving the smelt metal. A coil (13) is arranged at the lower end of the cubicle such that the metal contained within it is heated through an induction process. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for forming a molded titanium component using the described process.
