Start since the end of the 20th century. Over 20 years, the development of levitation melting industry has gone through three stages:

Phase 1: Technical Introduction -1998-2009

In the process of completing the national "Eighth Five Year Plan" research project —— the development of rare earth giant magnetostrictive alloys, a scientific research project was completed by developing the levitation melting technology(LMT) equipment, finally successfully provide magnetostrictive sonar components for the navy.
Realizing the importance of LMT for high-end materials, a research institute was established to promote this technology.

Phase 2: Industrial Initiation -2010-2017

In response to the requirements of the National Defense Nuclear Research Institute for melting “X”special alloys, the first enterprise specialized in developing LMT was established, which broke through the melting technology of “X” alloy that year.
At this stage, the equipment products are mainly in small and medium-sized specifications, and the market mainly faces research institutes and colleges.
At this stage, the equipment business is guided by the development of technology, thus achieving a domestically leading and internationally advanced technological level.

Phase 3: Starting from 2020, the third-generation LMT - the technology tends to mature, the business develops, and the market is cultivated.

LEAD team carry out the third phase of work in Ningbo in 2022.
At this stage, material production enterprises gradually become the biggest market for LMT, and developing third-generation technology has become the most important task.
