摘要:
The invention concerns a method for melting and solidifying an electric conductor sample, which consists in: melting the sample by induction using a high frequency alternating magnetic field; superposing on the alternating magnetic field a continuous magnetic field gradient with high intensity, so as to levitate the melted sample without contact with solid surfaces; and in reducing the intensity of the alternating magnetic field by increasing the intensity of the continuous magnetic field, so as to maintain the sample in levitation without contact with the solid surfaces; and reducing the temperature of the sample to obtain solidification without contact of said sample. The invention is applicable to samples comprising at least a metastable phase.

Disclosed is a levitation melting crucible which can facilitate penetration of magnetism into the crucible and which can prevent a molten metal from being contaminated by an insulating material. The levitation melting crucible comprises a cylindrical main body (12) having a closed bottom, a plurality of slits (14) defined vertically in the circumferential wall of the main body (12) to open inward and outward at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction and an insulating material (18) filled in each of the slits (14); wherein each slit (14) is designed to have an inner opening width smaller than its outer opening width, with respect to the radius of the main body (12), for example, 1.5 A > B.

To float and melt particularly small pieces of high-melting point metal continuously while making the amount of meltable liquid metal greater than the capacity of a crucible. A conductive crucible having segments (11a,12a) includes an upper cylindrical crucible (11) and a lower closed-end crucible (12). An induction coil (14) is arranged outside the upper crucible (11), whereas an induction coil (15) is arranged below the induction coil (14). The lower crucible (12) is in contact with the upper crucible (11) and located on the inside of the induction coil (15) at the initial melting stage. The lower crucible (12) is lowered as a columnar metal (19) grows and solidifies between molten metal (18) and the lower crucible (12). A continuous feeder (21) continuously feeds cold material (20). A molten metal surface thermometer (23) and a molten metal surface level gauge (24) are arranged above the crucible. The operation of the continuous feeder (21) is regulated within a desired range of values of the molten metal surface thermometer (23). On the other hand, the lower crucible (12) is successively lowered within a desired range of values of the molten metal surface level gauge (24).

Disclosed is a levitation melting method comprising applying a high-frequency current to a high-frequency induction coil (20) wound around a melting crucible (12) to induction-heat a material (22) introduced to the melting crucible (12); and erecting the resulting molten metal (22a) to be in no contact with the inner wall surface of the melting crucible (12) with the bottom of the material (22) being maintained in the solidified state; wherein a power input P (kw) of a high-frequency power source to the high-frequency induction coil (20), an inner radius R (mm) at the bottom of the crucible (12) and super heat DELTA T ( DEG C) of the molten metal (22a) satisfy the relationship of P/R2 = DELTA T.(0.0008 to 0.002), as well as, a melting and casting method for casting the molten metal prepared by the levitation melting method described above into a mold using a snout (26) suspended above the melting crucible such that the lower end of the snout (26) may be submerged in the molten metal (22a).
