Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) Furnaces
Retech Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace equipment has proven to consistently deliver value and competitive advantage for our customers through a combination of system innovation and a focus on each customer’s specific needs.

Cold Wall Induction
Utilizes a segmented, water-cooled copper crucible, in place of traditional graphite or ceramics.

VIM Alloy Systems
Retech VIM Alloy systems are known for their high yields and low operating costs combined with intelligent design.

Laboratory Scale Inductions
These furnaces are designed for R&D as well as small batch production functions.
VIM Furnace Systems
Retech’s Vacuum Induction Furnaces can easily handle a wide range of materials used in everything from automotive and consumer products to critical, high-value equiax, directionally solidified or single-crystal aerospace parts.
Retech's Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) Furnaces
Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) utilizes induced electrical eddy currents to cause heating of a work piece that is placed within and coupled (connected) to those invisible currents.
Retech’s Vacuum Induction Furnaces can easily handle a wide range of materials used in everything from automotive and consumer products to critical, high-value equiax, directionally solidified or single-crystal aerospace parts. In fact, Retech pioneered the design and engineering of equipment used in the production of the first single-crystal turbine blades and continues to provide high-yield furnaces with low operating costs.
