Induction melting furnace in iron industry

Induction melting furnace in iron industry
In the iron industry, the two most commonly used to induction melting furnace were power frequency induction furnace and intermediate frequency induction melting furnace.
First for medium frequency induction melting furnace, its strong adaptability, the variety of burden or piece of degree is not very strict, so widely used in melting cast iron, its melting alloy cast iron, nodular cast iron and so on need induction smelting products are widely used in manufacturing.
Power frequency induction furnace melting slag is relatively slow, some are not suitable for slagging, production lack of flexibility, cold start need to start, but at the same time it makes heating and metal melting, uniform heating temperature, burning loss is small, can facilitate the regulation of iron liquid ingredients, small relatively dirty. So usually suitable for metals and alloys remelting and heating up.

Medium frequency induction furnace

Medium frequency induction furnace
Vacuum brazing furnace, medium frequency induction furnace medium frequency induction furnace used for power supply in 150 - a - 10000 hz frequency range of induction furnace as medium frequency induction furnace, the main in 150 - a - 2500 hz frequency range. Domestic small frequency power frequency induction furnace for 150, 1000 and 2500 Hertz.
Medium frequency induction furnace is a kind of applicable to the smelting of high quality steel and alloy smelting equipment, and work well in induction furnace has the following advantages:
1) the melting speed, high production efficiency. Medium frequency induction furnace power density is big, the power of each tonne of steel liquid configuration than about 20 a 30% larger power frequency induction furnace. Therefore, in the same conditions of medium frequency induction furnace melting speed, high production efficiency.
2) strong adaptability, flexible use. Each in medium frequency induction furnace molten steel can all net, replace the steel grade is convenient; Per furnace and power frequency induction furnace molten steel does not allow the net, you must retain part of the liquid steel for the start of furnace, thus replacing steel grade is not convenient, only applies to single varieties of steel smelting.
3) electromagnetic stirring effect is better. As a result of the liquid steel under electromagnetic force is with power frequency is inversely proportional to the square root, so stirring force of intermediate frequency power supply is smaller than power frequency power supply. For removing impurities in steel and homogeneous chemical composition, uniform temperature, stirring effect of intermediate frequency power supply is better. Power frequency power supply big stir force make molten steel on the lining of scouring force increases, not only reduce the refining effect and can dramatically reduce the useful service life of crucible.
4) starting operation is convenient. Due to the skin effect of medium frequency current greater than the power frequency current, so the intermediate frequency induction furnace at the start, no special requirements to burden, after loading can rapid heating temperature; While power frequency induction furnace for specialized production of furnace charge block (and the approximate size of crucible, about in the cast steel or cast iron piece of crucible half height) to start the heating, and heating up slowly. Read this, under the condition of cycle operation mostly use medium frequency induction furnace. Start convenient bring another advantage is that can save electricity when cycle operation.

The degassing principle of vacuum induction furnace

  The degassing principle of vacuum induction furnace
  Degassing is material of slow evaporation in vacuum phenomenon, is the main problem on the vacuum performance. Any of the surface of the solid material is likely to be attached to gas and liquid accumulation form molecular layer. As a result of the pressure will gradually reduce the molecular layer gradually evaporate, because the surface energy is smaller than the vacuum energy.
  Nitrogen, and volatile solvent degassing speed faster, with an inert gas and oil and water vapor will continue to adhere to the surface, after a few hours will evaporate. Porous materials, dust particles can increase the surface area and other natural substances, so may cause more degassing. Radiation and temperature will provide enough energy to absorb molecules from the surface. Vacuum induction furnace temperature can release after low temperature when attached on the surface molecules. So, with the increase of furnace temperature, degassing phenomenon will gradually increase.

From improving production efficiency, improve the melting speed, reduce the melting time. Induction furnace production of intermediate frequency furnace energy-saving approaches are discussed.
1 prolong continuous smelting Power consumption has a lot to do with smelting method, the furnace works can be divided into three conditions:
1) continuous smelting: daily class three continuous operation;
2) intermittent smelting: daily two class or class assignments, the assignments during the furnace hot metal with thermal insulation power;
3) intermittent smelting: after the completion of all the daily net. Obviously when the above three conditions, continuous smelting electric energy consumption minimum, intermittent smelting times, intermittent smelting the highest. Therefore, conditional your case should be as much as possible into a continuous smelting. Try to increase a smelting furnace, extend the duration of smelting, lower power consumption.

Vacuum Induction Melting

Vacuum Induction Melting

Vacuum induction melting (VIM) utilizes electric currents to melt metal within a vacuum. The first prototype was developed in 1920.One of the only ways to induce a current within a conductor is through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction induces eddy currents within conductors by changing the magnetic field. Eddy currents create heating effects to melt the metal. Vacuum induction melting has been used in both the aerospace and nuclear industries.
History
E.F. Northrup built the first prototype of a vacuum induction furnace in 1920 in the United States of America. In 1923, German scientist Wilhelm Rohn continued to advance the VIM technology along with founding the Heraeus melting facility. Medium frequency furnaces were seen soon afterwards in England and Sweden in 1927.The process was initially developed to refine certain special metals such as cobalt and nickel. As these metals and alloys became more common, the process of VIM became more widely used. VIM now helps to melt a variety of metals for aircraft and nuclear applications.
Procedure
Vacuum induction melting uses currents within a vacuum to melt metal. VIM involves placing a core-less induction furnace into a vacuum chamber.The heat used to start the melting process comes from an induced current called an eddy current. The melting and casting operations are then carried out at low pressures to control the entire alloy chemistry process.
Uses
VIM was usually used for refining high purity metal and alloys. VIM is now becoming more popular due to the variety of uses now available. The commercial production of nickel titanium alloys utilizes VIM to its full extent. Other examples of using VIM include melting steels for nuclear applications, cobalt alloy for medical applications, and both high purity copper alloy and clean magnetic alloy for high permeability.The process of VIM can even begin electro-slag remelting, which can remelt electrodes.
Nickel titanium
VIM is the most widely used process for the production of nickel titanium alloys. When producing nickel titanium, the process of VIM using a hot graphite crucible sometimes causes carbon contamination which causes some of the titanium ions to form titanium carbide (TiC). These TiC particles change the transformation temperature along with the strength of the alloy. This is one drawback with the process of vacuum induction melting in graphite.
