Melting for both investment and sand casting is performed using electric induction furnaces. Two 400 pound capacity box furnaces handle the larger pours. A smaller lift coil with a 200 pound capacity is used for alloys with lower melting points such as aluminum and brass. It is also used for smaller pours of non-ferrous alloys to reduce waste. All alloys are QC checked on our spectrometer prior to pouring and adjusted to insure conformance with specifications.
