Vacuum Induction Melting Services


Santoku America, Inc., Tolleson, AZ

Vacuum Induction Melting Services -Santoku America, Inc. offers a wide range of vacuum induction melting (VIM) services.  We operate a variety of VIM furnaces, which gives us significant flexibility in the arrangement of the casting setup and the size of the charge to be processed.  The majority of our customers utilize our melting services to produce exotic custom-made alloys from virgin raw materials.  However, other customers have utilized our facility for such things as specialty alloy purification, consolidation of alloys containing precious metals, scrap alloy homogenization, extrusion billet production, and off-grade alloy adjustments.  Our furnaces are specifically designed to keep oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen levels to a bare minimum and to keep other impurities from contaminating the alloy during melting and casting.   Lot sizes generally range from 25 kilos per cast to around 300 kilos per cast.
