Our Melting Process
- Upon receipt precious material is carefully weighed using calibrated balances accurate to 0.1 gram; all information is carefully recorded.
- Scrap is melted in an induction furnace and sampled in a molten condition using vacuum sealed glass tubes.
- The molten metal is poured into a mould and cooled rapidly to prevent segregation.
- A dip sample is taken to perform the assay on. If a dip sample cannot be taken, the bar will be drilled after melting.
- The dip sample is assayed using the most appropriate method to achieve a highly accurate result.
- The bar is weighed to complete the process and the unique Assay Certificate number is stamped on the bar.
- Assay results are presented on a certificate from AnchorCert Analytical widely recognized for integrity and reliability.
