Retech is the industry leader in the production of PAM (Plasma Arc Melting) furnaces. The PAM Furnace uses an electric arc between a water-cooled torch and the material to be melted to add energy in a non-reactive furnace environment (usually argon or helium). Because the furnace atmosphere is relatively close to atmospheric pressure, loss of volatile elements is minimal. These furnaces melt both reactive and and refractory metals.
Plasma Arc Melting systems improve the properties of conventional and otherwise impossible-to-melt alloys. This allows for qualification and production of titanium used for rotating parts in aviation and land based turbines. Learn more about Plasma Technology.
