As a part of the indigenous development of the Induction Skull Melting (ISM) technology, a set of numerical simulations was carried out initially to arrive at the design parameters of a segmented cold crucible. Based on these parameters, an ISM facility comprising a water-cooled segmented copper crucible with in-situ casting module, induction heating power supply system, cooling water recirculation system, vacuum chamber with vacuum delivery system and associated instrumentation & control units was built. The ISM facility was successfully tested for melting and homogenizing different metals and alloys.
