Metal Specific Melting

Precision Solutions for Global Metal Industries

In modern metallurgy and industrial manufacturing, Metal Specific Melting is a critical process that ensures each metal type—whether aluminum, copper, iron, or precious metals—is melted under optimal thermal and chemical conditions. For manufacturers, foundries, and recyclers around the world, investing in the right metal-specific melting furnace can significantly improve production efficiency, product quality, and energy utilization.

As a global supplier of metal heat processing equipment, we specialize in customized melting systems engineered for specific metals and alloys. This article explores the concept of metal specific melting, common furnace types, applications, and how to select the best system for your industrial needs.

🔍 What is Metal Specific Melting?

Metal specific melting refers to the controlled melting of different metals using dedicated furnaces and process parameters tailored to each metal’s physical and chemical properties.

Each metal has its own:

• Melting point (e.g., Aluminum: ~660°C, Copper: ~1085°C, Steel: ~1425°C)

• Thermal conductivity

• Oxidation sensitivity

• Alloying behavior

A generic melting system cannot deliver the precision and efficiency required. That’s why metal-specific melting equipment is essential in modern industrial applications.

🔧 Types of Metal Specific Melting Furnaces

🟡 Aluminum Melting Furnaces

Used in die casting, extrusion, and automotive industries. Aluminum requires a clean melting environment to avoid hydrogen porosity and dross.

• Recommended Furnace Types:

  • Crucible melting furnace

  • Electric resistance furnace

  • Tilting induction furnace

• Available Capacities: From 300kg to 10 tons

• Key Features: Low oxidation, energy saving, fast melting rate

🔴 Copper Melting Furnaces

Copper’s high melting point and oxidation sensitivity make induction melting an ideal method. Applications include electrical wire production, plumbing, and bronze casting.

• Recommended Furnace Types:

  • Medium frequency induction furnace

  • Graphite crucible furnace

• Advantages: Excellent temperature control, reduced material loss, uniform melt

⚪ Steel and Iron Melting Furnaces

Widely used in construction, heavy machinery, and shipbuilding. Melting steel requires very high temperatures and slag control.

• Recommended Furnace Types:

  • Arc melting furnace

  • Coreless induction furnace

  • Cupola furnace (for cast iron)

• Features: High-temperature resistance, slag removal systems, automatic charging

🟣 Precious Metals Melting (Gold, Silver, Platinum)

Used in jewelry, electronics, and refining industries. Requires precise temperature and purity control.

• Recommended Furnace Types:

  • Mini induction melting furnace

  • Vacuum melting furnace

• Capacity: 1kg to 50kg

• Optional Add-ons: Inert gas chambers, digital temperature control
