Method for producing ingots made of metal having cross-sectional areas of at least 0.10 m2 of a round, square or rectangular shape through casting of metal or molten steel either directly from the casting ladle (1) or using a fireproof lined intermediate vessel (3) in a short, water-cooled ingot mold open downwards (4) and withdrawing of the solidified ingot (6) from the same downwardly movable withdrawing tool (8), wherein the casting process is continued with a casting rate determined in accordance with the casting cross-section for as long as the desired or maximum ingot length determined by the height of lift of the withdrawing tool (8) is reached, and additional liquid metal is fed at the end of the regular casting process to an extent that at least the contraction of the metal and steel melt occurring during solidification is balanced during, and whereby after completion of the regular casting process and completion of the ingot withdrawal, the casting process is continued with a casting rate reduced by at least the Factor 10 from the heatable casting ladle (1) or the heatable intermediate vessel (3) or a distribution container (21), and is reduced progressively or continuously at the end of the solidification to 10% the rate at the start of the additional casting.

A non-electroslag remelting type clean metal ingot mold includes an ingot mold body and a insulating riser arranged on the ingot mold body; an insulated heating and heat preservation device is vertically arranged in the ingot mold body and divides the space in the ingot mold body into a plurality of independent cavity units; and the cavity units are distributed in two rows in the ingot mold body. Because the insulated heating and heat preservation device is arranged in the ingot mold body and divides the space in the ingot mold body into a plurality of independent cavity units, most of impurities and segregates in liquid metals are enriched in the part in contact with the isolation and heat insulation mechanism during the directional solidification and crystallization of the liquid metals and the enriched alloy segregates, and the impurities can be easily eliminated by utilizing flame or other processing methods.

An annular clean metal casting mold has a mold body which includes a cold bottom mold plate and a peripheral cold mold plate in connection with the cold bottom mold plate. An annular hot preservation layer is disposed inside the peripheral cold mold plate. A cyclic clean crystalline region is formed between the peripheral cold mold plate and the annular hot preservation layer. A sacrificial crystalline region is formed inside the cyclic hot preservation layer. As the outer race of the annular clean crystallization zone contacts large area of the peripheral low cold mold plate, releasing heat rapidly, while the inner race contacts the annular hot preservation layer 3, heat dissipation is extremely slow, naturally result in forming orientational crystallization. The vast majority of impurities and segregations in the liquid metal are gathered at the portion contacting with the annular hot preservation layer, and thus after the liquid metal is solidified, the gathered impurities and segregations can be removed easily, to obtain a clean casting ingot.

摘要:
A process for producing a tube target for cathode sputtering plants, in which the tube target is formed from a metallic inner tube (target holder) made of a first material with a first melting point of Ts1≧900 K and a metallic outer tube (target) that concentrically surrounds the inner tube and that is made of a second material with a second melting point of Ts2≦800 K. The inside diameter of the outer tube and the outside diameter of the inner tube are proportioned in such a way that the two tubes fit together tightly and are mechanically firmly joined. The outer tube is formed by casting the second material in a molten state in a heated, vertical, cylindrical permanent mold, which has a heated mandrel that constitutes the inner tube. After a space between the mold and the inner tube has been filled with the molten second material, a first thermal gradient develops between the inner tube and the mold, a second thermal gradient develops between the bottom and the top of the mold, and the outer tube is simultaneously cooled from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top.
