Green Energy Equipment Manufacturer Adds VIM System
A green energy equipment manufacturer has expanded its vacuum induction melting capacity with another VIM furnace for melting and casting refractory alloys. The new VIM system will be used to cast directionally solidified parts for the next generation of green energy technologies.

Retech, a SECO/WARWICK Group company, designed this system with directional solidification, a casting process used to control the crystalline structure formation in cast parts. This process precisely controls the rate and direction from which heat dissipates from a part as it cools in the mold.
Similarly equipped VIM systems melt ultra-high-purity alloys used in a diverse array of applications, including single-crystal jet engine blade casting, super alloys, shape memory alloys, and silicon for semiconductor wafers.
“This is going to help this industry partner accomplish both their production and R&D metallurgy goals,” said Earl Good, managing director of Retech, “They also appreciate that buying from us again means that their staff is already trained on this equipment.”
