摘要:
A tap on a metallurgical vessel, in particular an electric arc furnace, is provided with a refractory end brick (6) that has an outlet opening (10). There is assigned to the lower face surface (11) of the end brick (6) a slot (15) which is shaped such that with the latter a tear-off edge (16) is generated on the outlet opening (10) when emptying the vessel. This slot (15) is annular in form and is provided here with a radially outwardly inclined inclined surface (18), and this tear-off edge (16) is thus formed immediately following the outlet opening (10). Thus, after each tapping process, the tap can be cleaned without manual assistance by shearing off with the front edge of the plate of the closure device.

A slag discharge door device for an electric furnace is provided. The device prevents slag from flowing out via a slag discharge port by making a discharge control door body move up and down to and from the upper surface of a supporting body where slag is discharged by flowing to the upper surface, and the discharge of slag is controlled, such that during steel-making work in the electric furnace, the outflow of slag is prevented and heat losses are reduced, the efficiency of arc heat due to the formation of foamed slag is increased, and valuable metals are recovered from the molten slag thereby increasing the percentage of molten steel recovered.

A kit enables selective circulation and transfer of molten metal of a furnace. The kit includes a transfer block of refractory material adapted to be disposed downstream of a refractory pump wall of a pump well. The block includes a transfer passageway that extends from alignment with an opening in the pump wall toward an exterior vessel outside the furnace. A support structure can be adapted to be fixed over the furnace. Pulleys can be carried by the support structure. An actuator can be positioned outside of the furnace. A cable can be fastened at one end portion to the transfer block and at another end portion to the actuator and extends around the pulleys. When actuated in one stroke the actuator moves the cable so as to move the block upward out of alignment with the pump wall opening to cause molten metal circulation. When actuated in another stroke the actuator moves the cable to permit the transfer block to move downward into alignment with the pump wall opening to carry out transfer of molten metal to the vessel. Also featured is a furnace including a kit or a selective transfer and circulation device, and a method of installing the kit or device in a furnace.

The apparatus includes a furnace having a furnace chamber (14), a port (16) in fluid communication with the furnace chamber having an inclined lower wall (18), and a bi-directional induction unit (24) mounted to the inclined lower wall for inducing flow in molten material in the port. A retractable channel plate assembly (26) is selectively positionable in the port to define an extraction flow channel (28) for the molten material between the channel plate assembly and the inclined lower wall. A drive arrangement (64) moves the channel plate assembly into and out of the port and the control of a control system (74) which includes a sensor system (78) for measuring the level of the molten material in the port and a feedback system for providing information regarding the position of the channel plate assembly. A method of operating the apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
An exemplary furnace system for melting stock metal includes a main hearth and a side well subsystem, which includes a melting well disposed downstream of the main hearth for receiving flow from the main hearth, an input flow inducer disposed upstream of the melting well and downstream of the main hearth, and an output flow inducer disposed downstream of the melting well and upstream of the main hearth. The input flow inducer drives molten metal into the melting well, thereby forming a differential metal head in the melting well. The output flow inducer evacuates molten metal from an output conduit, thereby reducing counter-pressure at an output port of the melting well communicating with the output conduit. This allows atmospheric pressure to add to the differential metal head in the melting well, resulting in an increase in productivity of the side well subsystem and of the furnace system as a whole.

Meanwhile, heating the material to be reduced by a combustion of fuel with the heating burners; discharging the reduced material into the material receiving tank; placing the material device from which the material is discharged into the feeding side of the other chamber, then a next work circulation begins.
摘要:
A stack of copper plates is placed in a melting chamber having a closed roof of refractory material. The stack is placed in a tilted orientation leaning against a side wall of the melting chamber, with lower edges of the copper plates resting on an inclined hearth surface. A door to the melting chamber is closed to block the infiltration of oxygen. A burner is fired into the melting chamber to heat the closed roof of refractory material, and the stack of copper plates is melted under the influence of combustion products from the burner and heat radiated from the closed roof. Molten copper is drained downward from the bottom edge of the inclined hearth surface to avoid immersing the copper plates in a molten bath.

A steel production facility and a method of uninterrupted, or at least cyclical, steelmaking in the facility. In the case of uninterrupted steelmaking at least the first three of the following steps and in case of cyclical steelmaking all five steps are performed: charge materials are molten uninterruptedly or cyclically in an electric arc furnace; the charge materials (e.g., shredded scrap-iron pieces shredded in a shredding-system for shredding discarded iron and/or steel junk), Direct Reduced Iron and/or Hot Briquette Iron are uninter ruptedly or continuously during a melting process cycle fed into the electric arc furnace; a part of liquid steel is uninterruptedly or cyclically discharged from the steel bath of the electric arc furnace; from the thermic energy included in the hot process-exhaust of the electric arc furnace, electric energy is, by means of power generation, generated uninterruptedly or at least during a melting process cycle; a shredding-system assigned to the electric arc furnace for shredding the scrap is powered by the electric energy generated from the process exhaust.
摘要:
An inductively heated drain tube fashioned of high temperature, electrically conducting materials is disclosed. An inductor surrounds the drain tube. The inductor and drain tube are cast within a refractory material. The drain tube is then placed in communication with the side of a bath of molten materials. When power is supplied to the inductor, the inductor couples with the drain tube, heating the drain tube and allowing it to act as a drain for high temperature molten materials. When power is removed from the inductor, a flow of cooling liquid through the inductor cools the drain tube, solidifying the molten materials and stopping their flow through the drain tube. The refractory material encases the inductor, acting as a thermal barrier and preventing damage from molten materials.
摘要:
Process and apparatus for the rapid efficient melting of solid ferrous metal scrap without direct exposure to water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen or oxygen-containing gases, using natural gas and/or other caloric gaseous fuels. The apparatus includes a furnace having a refractory base, means for introducing ferrous metal such as solid steel scrap to the wall area, means for providing a slag layer over the solid steel scrap, and gas burner means for emitting one or more forced gas flames for superheating the slag layer to a liquid which covers the scrap and for agitating and circulating the molten slag to form a highly-efficient heat-transfer medium for melting and refining the steel scrap while it is insulated against contact with gases, particularly water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen or oxygen-containing gases. The process may operate continuously and can recover heat for scrap preheating, turbine power and other efficient uses.
