FOSTER Induction Melting is clean and controlled, ideal for reactive metals like magnesium.
Precise temperature control:
Reduces the risk of overheating and ignition.
Rapid heating:
Reduces time in molten state, minimizing oxidation.
Parameters:
Melting point of Mg ~650°C
Auto-ignition temperature ~510–600°C in air (molten magnesium can catch fire easily)
Atmosphere required Inert gas (e.g. argon) to prevent oxidation and fire
Crucible material Alumina, zirconia, or special graphite crucibles with coatings (to avoid reactions)
Furnace type Induction furnace with inert gas chamber.
Safety Precautions:
1. Shielded Atmosphere: Use of argon to displace oxygen.
2. No Water Nearby: Water + molten magnesium = explosion risk (forms hydrogen gas).
3. Temperature Control: Use precise pyrometers to avoid overheating.
4. Fire Safety Gear: Class D fire extinguishers must be on hand.
Applications:
Magnesium casting alloys
Die-casting in automotive/aerospace
Magnesium-aluminum master alloys
Recommended Furnace Setup:
Medium-frequency induction furnace
Graphite crucible in a sealed chamber
Argon purging system
