Hi, do you know any company in the world who builds or delivers any kind of boiler, heater, oven or furnace that is electric and could be used to heat up molten salts of nitrate compound? Thanks.

I've actually got some books on hobby metalworking that address molten salt bath equipment. But most of them are on a DIY level. Like how to use the kitchen oven for such work and not get caught by the wife.

I briefly looked at using electric heaters to melt the salt, but the MW's needed was too much for the particular site.
Try checking with Chromalox or the other electric heater element suppliers. One of their customers may design this type of specialty melter.

I believe molten salts after the parts were taken out of the furnace the parts were quenched in the molten salt bath. I believe there was a temperature that made the salts more stable and not corrosive. But its been a while since I was in that industry.
