Retech's new VAR-S 32" design
for Special Steels & Superalloys.
» Special Tool Steels, including Bearing Steel and Spring Steel
» Nickel-based alloys
» Cobalt-based alloys
» High-Temperature Superalloys
» Double- and Triple-VAR-Melt Aeronautical Grade Specifications
- Heavy (1000mm/40") and Light (800mm/32") sizes.
The VAR-S is a new design optimized for the inherently cleaner VAR process of specialty steels and non-reactive metals.
- Value-engineered for shorter cast electrodes.
- Next-generation accessible, compact, electromechanical design.
- Free Standing, independent of building structure.
- Open & Accessible with Raised Base.
The VAR-S consists of just three (3) major sub-assembly modules, independently built and tested. This modular build approach enables repeatable assembly procedures, accuracy in making critical adjustments, performing incremental inspections, testing and greatly expedites shipment, offloading and on-site erection work. In addition, all parts are pre-finished and final inspected prior to assembly work.
- Lower Furnace Assembly Module
Consisting of furnace base, support column, head swing and lift mechanisms, and furnace head body.
- Upper Furnace Assembly Module
Consisting of furnace head's top plate, High-Definition melt view system, weigh system, outer anode frame, inner electrode support frame, ram, ram drive, gimbal pivot system and X-Y positioning system.
- Melt Stations
The two melt station water jackets are factory pre-aligned to drop-fit into the furnace base, accommodating a range of crucible sizes and matching water velocity guides. Connections and alignments off the Pit Floor are eliminated.
