Var crucible cleaning equipment

Source

Source summary

Develop equipment, or an add-on to an existing machine, to clean copper crucibles used in vacuum-arc-remelting furnaces after each melt. Multiple crucible sizes and alloys are involved; residual uncleaned patches can contaminate subsequent batches. The source seeks better cleaning efficiency rather than a new furnace.
