Abstract:
An enclosure having a sealing device, for a casting installation, having a first body and a second body that is removably joined to the first body along a bearing axis, the first and second bodies together delimiting an internal chamber. The sealing device comprises: at least one compression member, at least one seal having a lateral contact face extending substantially parallel to the bearing axis; the compression member and the seal being arranged with respect to one another such that the compression member is in contact with the lateral contact face of the seal and exerts a compression force thereon that is oriented orthogonally to the bearing axis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an aluminum alloy product including the steps of: creating a bath of liquid metal in an aluminum-copper-lithium alloy, casting said alloy by vertical semi-continuous casting so as to obtain a plate with thickness T and width W such that, during solidification, the hydrogen content of said liquid metal bath (1) is lower than 0.4 ml/100 g, the oxygen content above the liquid surface (14, 15) is less than 0.5% by volume.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a scrap remelting line comprising at least one storage silo configured to store scrap, at least two induction furnaces for remelting the scrap and obtaining the remelted liquid metal, a means for supplying the scrap to the at least two induction furnaces, at least one furnace receiving the liquid metal (6), and a means for transporting the remelted liquid metal (5, 15) to the receiving furnace. The invention also relates to the method for obtaining liquid metal from scrap remelted in induction furnaces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for re-melting coated aluminum alloy scrap comprising a step of supplying shredded coated aluminum alloy scrap, consisting of individual entities; a decoating step, a step of preparing a heel, a step of loading and melting the decoated scrap on the heel. The invention is characterized in that the scrap has a specific geometry wherein at least 50% of the individual entities of the shredded coated scrap has a fold ratio (R) of less than or equal to 0.6, wherein the fold ratio (R) of an individual entity is defined by: fold ratio=R=(unfolded area−folded area)/(unfolded area), wherein the folded area is the maximum area of the orthogonal projection of the individual entity onto a plane and the unfolded area is the total area of the same individual entity after it has been unfolded.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for melting an aluminum load, comprising: supplying an aluminum load (11, 12, 13) of which at least 15% by weight is in the form of a sow of essentially cylindrical shape (11) of height h and maximum diameter d; loading said load into a cylindrical induction furnace (10) of height H and maximum internal diameter D in which the height direction of said sow is substantially parallel to the height direction of the furnace; melting said load by induction to obtain a liquid metal bath (2); optionally adjusting content of said liquid metal in which d is in the range from 0.7 D to 0.97 D and preferably in the range from 0.84 D to 0.92 D.
