Specialized melting and dosing furnace for magnesium alloys (AZ91D, AM60B, AZ31B), designed for B2B die-casting scenarios: automotive lightweight parts (gear housings), 3C product frames, and industrial component production.
Features 50-500kg adjustable melting capacity, supporting small-batch prototype (50kg) and large-scale mass production (500kg) to match flexible production needs.
Integrates dual-core functions: high-efficiency melting (electric induction heating, 650-750℃ ±2℃ precision) and automatic dosing (±0.1kg accuracy) to eliminate manual transfer errors.
Equips multi-layer safety systems: argon inert gas protection (≥99.99% purity) to prevent magnesium oxidation/combustion, over-temperature alarms (780℃ cutoff), and leak-proof crucible design.
Constructed with heat-resistant materials: 310S stainless steel furnace body (withstands 1200℃ surface temperature), graphite crucible (corrosion-resistant to molten magnesium), and ceramic fiber insulation (reduces heat loss by 40%).
Complies with industrial standards (ISO 9001, CE, AMS 2759) and supports MES integration for real-time production data tracking (melting time, dosing volume, gas consumption).
Argon Inert Gas Protection Cuts Oxidation Loss by 80%: The furnace’s 360° annular argon nozzles (12 evenly distributed) create a dense protective layer (≥99.99% argon purity) over molten magnesium, preventing contact with oxygen. A European automotive factory reduced magnesium oxidation loss from 15% to 3%, saving 240kg of raw material monthly (worth $9,600). The gas flow rate (5-15L/min) is automatically adjusted based on temperature—higher flow at 750℃ (max melting temp) to counter increased oxidation risk. Unlike basic nitrogen protection (which forms magnesium nitride impurities), argon leaves no residue, ensuring alloy purity meets AMS 2759 standards for automotive die-casting.
Precise Dosing Ensures Die-Cast Part Uniformity: The automatic dosing system uses a load cell (0.01kg precision) and servo-driven arm to dispense molten magnesium with ±0.1kg accuracy—critical for parts like AZ91D gear housings (requiring consistent wall thickness to avoid cracking). A Chinese 3C factory producing magnesium phone frames reduced rejection rates from 10% to 1.5%, saving $6,000/month in rework. The dosing arm’s 180° rotation range fits most die-casting machine shot sleeves (150-300mm diameter), and the system stores 50+ dosing recipes (e.g., “2.5kg AZ91D Gear Housing,” “1.8kg AM60B Laptop Frame”) for quick switching.
Energy-Efficient Induction Heating Lowers Utility Costs: The dual-coil electric induction heating system (20kW for 200kg model) heats magnesium from room temperature to 650℃ in 45 minutes—30% faster than gas heating. The ceramic fiber insulation (100mm thickness) reduces heat loss by 40%, cutting electricity consumption by 25% (from 80kWh/100kg to 60kWh/100kg). A U.S. industrial component manufacturer with 3 furnaces saved $3,600/month in electricity bills. The heating system also has a “smart idle” mode—reduces power to 30% when not dosing, avoiding energy waste during die-casting machine cycle gaps.
Multi-Layer Safety Systems Eliminate Fire Hazards: The furnace’s safety design addresses magnesium’s high flammability: 1) Over-temperature alarm (780℃ automatic heating cutoff) prevents magnesium from reaching ignition point (990℃); 2) Leak-proof graphite crucible (with silicone seal) stops molten magnesium from seeping into furnace gaps; 3) Built-in dry chemical fire extinguisher (triggered by smoke sensors) for emergency use. A Mexican die-casting factory avoided a $20,000 fire incident when the over-temperature alarm shut down the furnace during a sensor failure. The furnace also meets OSHA 1910.252 standards for hot work safety, requiring no extra safety equipment purchases.
Durable Heat-Resistant Construction Extends Service Life: The furnace body uses 310S stainless steel (tensile strength 515MPa) that resists corrosion from magnesium vapor and industrial dust—no rusting or deformation after 5 years of use. The graphite crucible (density 1.8g/cm³) withstands 1000+ melting cycles (vs. 500 cycles for clay-graphite crucibles), reducing replacement costs by 50%. Our tests show the furnace operates continuously for 8,000 hours/year with only 8 hours of monthly maintenance—unlike cheap furnaces that require 20+ hours of repairs.
