Arc Melt Furnace ABJ-338 is our small bell jar arc melt furnace. Instead of being loaded from the bottom as in our SA-200 or TA-200 arc melt, the chamber is hinged backwards to allow easy access to the loading area, hearth and chamber.
The 3.38“ (86 mm) hearth plate also allows for multiple crucibles vs the single crucible of the SA/TA-200.This bell jar is a complete, water-cooled, turn-key system for sustained high temperature use with safety water flow interlock, safety insulated bellows, evacuation/gas system, and a 100% duty cycle power source.
Other features include ease of operation, compact size, custom hearths, low cost, and extremely pure melts. High Vacuum Turbo pumping system and other accessories available.

Details
Chamber:
The chamber is constructed of 304L grade stainless steel and electro-polished for good vacuum integrity and appearance. The chamber is double-walled for water cooling to maintain a chamber temperature below 50°C (120 F) during normal use. The chamber is rated for vacuum to 10-6 Torr (mbar). Access to the furnace for loading and unloading is done by lifting the hinged chamber backwards, which give complete access to the loading area.
