Since the first unit was produced in 1957, ULVAC has delivered over 200 vacuum induction melting furnaces to customers in Japan and around the world. These furnaces are contributing to a wide range of industry applications such as specialized steel, electronics materials and new materials. They have been used in developing new technologies such as high-vacuum degassing and refining using cryopanels, and multi-element alloys created by single-direction agitation systems. ULVAC can also provide equipment lines and production technology for rare-earth magnet manufacturing.
