Vacuum Oxygen Refining Furnace
VD / VOD process reduces the gas content, particularly hydrogen and carbon, as well as reducing non- metallic inclusions by subjection the molten metal to a vacuum. VOD’s and VD’s are used when very low C-contents have to be reached.
Features :
VD
Control of Hydrogen upto 2ppm max
Substantial reduction in Oxygen and Nitrogen levels
Total slag metal interaction for ensuring cleanliness
Can maintain vacuum at 1mm bar
VOD
Control of final Carbon to 0.015%
Excellent recoveries of costly alloys
All Special stainless heats can be cast
