<strong>Vacuum</strong> <strong>Arc</strong><br />

<strong>Remelting</strong> (<strong>VAR</strong>)<br />

<strong>ALD</strong> is one of the leading<br />

suppliers of vacuum<br />

melting furnace technologies<br />

for engineered metals<br />

12 ton <strong>VAR</strong> furnace from <strong>ALD</strong><br />

<strong>VAR</strong> is widely used to improve the<br />

cleanliness and refine the structure of<br />

standard airmelted or vacuum induction<br />

melted ingots (called consumable electrodes).<br />

<strong>VAR</strong> steels and superalloys as well as<br />

titanium and zirconium and its alloys are<br />

used in a great number of high-integrity<br />

applications where cleanliness, homogeneity,<br />

improved fatigue and fracture toughness<br />

of the final product are essential.<br />

Fields of Application<br />

OOAerospace<br />

OOPower generation<br />

OOChemical Industry<br />

OOMedical and nuclear industries<br />

<strong>VAR</strong> Applications<br />

OOSuperalloys for aerospace<br />

OOHigh strength steels<br />

OOBall-bearing steels<br />

OOTool steels (cold and hot work steels)<br />

for milling cutters, drill bits, etc.<br />

OODie steels<br />

OOMelting of reactive metals (titanium, zirconium<br />

and their alloys) for aerospace, chemical industry,<br />

off-shore technique and reactor technique<br />
