For advanced metals of many types — including super alloys such as nickel titanium — the industry standard is to melt and re-melt in a vacuum. This controlled atmosphere process protects the molten metal from multiple potential impurities, making the end product suitable for advanced applications in aerospace, medical devices, and other industries.

The creation and casting of superalloys, as well as many other advanced and reactive metals, requires sophisticated vacuum or controlled atmosphere melting and remelting systems. Inductotherm Group companies design and manufacture Consarc brand systems for a variety of industries all around the world.
