Abstract: Large vacuum induction furnaces are the core primary equipment for high-temperature alloy production. In the past few decades, this high-end equipment has been basically monopolized by internationally renowned enterprises such as the United States and Germany. Faced with a complex international situation, it is necessary for China to achieve domestic substitution in the field of large vacuum induction furnaces. This article takes large-scale vacuum induction furnaces as the research object, and first analyze the macro architecture characteristics of several mainstream large-scale vacuum induction furnaces abroad in depth; Then, several mainstream foreign large-scale vacuum induction furnace product architectures are introduced separately; Finally, based on the absorption of advanced foreign experience, a new architecture for large-scale vacuum induction furnaces that can meet the 3-30 t scale is proposed.

Key words: vacuum induction furnace, vacuum melting, superalloy, aircraft engine
