ECM is a historical actor in the induction sector. In the early The 90s, ECM and CFEI (previously Saphymo Cell) – both members of the Dynathermic
group – proposed heat treatment installations, under vacuum and under
controlled atmosphere. During these years, ECM Technologies also proposed
revolutionary low pressure carburizing solutions for induction heating: the
TORR machine.
ECM’s mastery of high temperatures, vacuum, and controlled
atmospheres has allowed ECM TECHNOLOGIES to propose turnkey induction solutions
for various applications. Induction furnaces offer the possibility to carry out
complex processes at high temperatures (up to 3000°C), with a rapid rise in
temperature (30°C/s).
These induction melting solutions are now dedicated to the
elaboration of materials and more especially, to materials with strong added
value. Also, ECM’s installations allow the melting of materials in an ATEX,
corrosive or nuclear environment.
The elaboration and fusion of high added value materials or
the improvement of the materials’ physical properties all take place in a vacuum
or controlled atmosphere furnaces. The technologies used can be a cold crucible
for reactive materials (crucible with cooled copper or stainless steel parts),
a hot crucible (graphite or other) or a susceptor or muffle radiating on the
heated material.
Therefore, cold electric insulating materials (ceramic,
glass, enamel, silicon) can be treated in ECM’s induction furnaces. Plasma
solutions can be considered as a means to purify materials. ECM Technologies’
melting solutions such as VIM (Vacuum Induction Melting installations), CCIM
(Cold Crucible Induction Melting installations) or any other melting furnace
uses the latest technologies to propose the best solution to its customers.
Also, all these technologies open to a wide range of applications and can be
adapted to each customer’s need with the capacity to offer tailor-made
solutions.
