Precision Melting of Rhodium and Other Ultra-High Temperature Metals
The High Temperature Induction Rhodium Melting Furnace by Foster Induction is specially engineered for the melting and casting of rhodium, one of the most refractory and precious platinum group metals (PGMs). Known for its exceptionally high melting point (~1964°C) and resistance to corrosion, rhodium requires a furnace with advanced capabilities — and Foster delivers exactly that.
Built with IGBT-based high-frequency induction technology, this furnace delivers efficient, non-contact heating in a protective or vacuum environment, ensuring the purity and structural integrity of the molten rhodium.
Key Features:
Melting capacity up to 2200°C for rhodium and other PGMs
High-frequency IGBT induction system for rapid, uniform heating
Compatible with specialty crucibles like zirconia or alumina
Digital temperature controller with real-time monitoring
Water-cooled induction coil and safety interlocks for continuous operation
Optional glove box or sealed melting chamber for lab-grade purity
