The VIM furnaces are advanced metallurgical processors that provide melting, refining, and alloying in vacuum and under a controlled atmosphere. In the process, electromagnetic induction is used for heating the materials, whereby the conditions of melting can be completely controlled. This enables the processing of high-purity homogeneous materials. Consequently, VIM plays a very important role in many industries: aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy, electronics, battery research, alloy development, and mining.
