摘要:
According to the invention, there is proposed a feed system for a plasma-arc furnace wherein an electrode with an axial opening is used as the low-temperature plasma generating means. The feed system comprises a gas conduit, in the form of an individual water-cooled member, a current-conducting element mounted within a shell and secured to a flange which includes a duct for the delivery of gas, a duct for feeding flux, and a duct for supplying water. The flange has secured to it the shell. A flux delivery means and a bus for power supply are also included. The herein proposed feed system makes it possible to assure stable operating conditions of a plasma-arc furnace, enhance its efficiency, reduce power losses and decrease expenses involved in the remelting of metals and alloys.
摘要:
A device for improving the quality of the metal of ingots, produced by the method of electroslag remelting of consumable electrodes in cooled moulds, the amplitude of the alternating current of low frequency of the installation being modulated by means of various modulators series-connected in the primary or secondary circuit of a transformer feeding the electroslag remelting installation. The modulation of the amplitude of the alternating current of a frequency equal or close to the frequency of the oscillations of the liquid metal bath causes resonance oscillations of the metal bath, which cause refining of the structure of the crystallizing ingot, elimination of dendritic non-uniformity and a higher quality of the metal.
