Abstract:
A melting apparatus having a compact structure, of economical equipment cost, enabling to vacuum melting and refining at high productivity. A metal melting apparatus has a structure in which a refractory furnace wall 12 is furnished on an outer circumference thereof with a seal jacket 16 of air tight and non-electrical conductivity, and disposed with vertical water cooling copper pipes 47 along the inner circumference of the seal jacket 16 at predetermined space, and the furnace casing 10 is arranged at the outer part to encircle the furnace casing with an induction heating coil 38, and the furnace casing 10 is secured to a frame 42 by means of the seal jacket 16 for reinforcing the structure. The seal jacket 16 of the furnace casing 10 is fixed to the frame via an upper flange 44 and a lower flange 28.
Abstract:
A multi-outlet burner for heating material. Nozzles are positioned along a longitudinally extending portion of the burner that generally parallels the material surface. Combustion gas and fuel are combined at each nozzle to produce a plurality of flames that are directed in a sweeping direction over the surface.
Abstract:
The invention provides an improved design for a crucible for the melting of materials by means of radio frequency eddy currents induced in the materials. A segmented platform is located intermediate an open end of the crucible and a closed base at the opposite end, in a region where the crucible wall is segmented, thereby to separate a melt from the ''''cold spot'''' in the crucible caused by the electrical short circuit of the closed base end. The outer surface of the wall segments is curved and defines a single cylindrical surface to facilitate fitting within a primary induction coil.
Abstract:
A system and method for removing impurities in an induction furnace cooling system is disclosed. An induction furnace for heating a workpiece includes a chamber, an induction coil positioned in the chamber to provide for heating of the workpiece when a current is provided to the induction coil, and a cooling system fluidly coupled to an interior volume of the chamber, the cooling system including a heat exchanger, a blower fluidly coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to cause a gas to flow through the heat exchanger, and a filter assembly comprising a filtering device, the filter assembly fluidly coupled to the blower and configured to remove impurities from the gas flowing through the cooling system.
Abstract:
A refractory clad lid for heating vessel is disclosed. The lid includes a plurality of refractory blocks supported from a hollow metal paney by an interlocking dovetailed joint configuration at the panel/block interface. Coolant is circulated through the panel to control lid temperature and reduce block water.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for charging a melting furnace having a charging opening in its sidewall, in which a closed housing contains a pivotally mounted receiving pan having a discharge chute on one side thereof, the discharge chute adapted to extend into the charging opening in the furnace sidewall; and means for moving the charging apparatus into the charging opening of the furnace and removing the apparatus to a position remote therefrom. A method for feeding the furnace over a predefined area, and continuously feeding the furnace during all phases of operation, including slagging and tapping, is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Method of preparing equipment for holding molten high melting, chemically active metal such as titanium, molybdenum or the like in a crucible or mold, including the prevention of formation of impurities and non-metal inclusion in the molten metal, by providing a receptacle of refractory material as cast, extruded or welded part exhibiting microscopic pores, but providing only insignificant leakage at room temperature; at least a portion of the outer wall surface of the receptacle is lined with a protective layer of copper, chromium, nickel or tin for sealing the pores and for covering at least part of the wall surface of the receptacle with that lining to establish a dense integral pore-free layer that is integral with the sealing of the pores, the lining may also provide corrosion proofing if the receptacle is immersed in a corroding fluid (e.g., potossium or sodium or the like). The receptacle is then filled with the metal and sealingly closed at least when the metal is in the liquid state.
Abstract:
A metal forming apparatus includes a smelting device, a molding device, an injection device and a vacuumizing device. The smelting device defines a smelting chamber, and includes a rotatable crucible and a heating unit both disposed within the smelting chamber. The molding device defines a molding chamber sealedly communicated with the smelting chamber. The injection device includes a charging barrel assembly sealedly disposed at a joint between the molding device and the smelting device and an injection unit sealedly connected with the smelting device. The vacuumizing device is sealedly connected with the smelting device and the molding device respectively so as to vacuumize the smelting chamber and the molding chamber.
