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.
摘要:
A method of tapping a steelmaking furnace comprised of determining a desired level of steel to be attained in a ladle, and calculating the weight of molten steel that will be present when the desired level is attained following a transfer of molten steel from the furnace to the ladle. The furnace is operated such that slag is formed on top of molten steel contained therein. The furnace is moved to a first position to cause transfer of molten steel to the ladle to begin. The transfer of molten steel from the furnace to the ladle is continued, and at the first occurrence of molten steel attaining the desired level in the ladle, molten steel attaining a maximum allowable weight in the ladle, or an excessive amount of slag being present upon the molten steel in the ladle, transfer of molten steel to the ladle is ceased.

A metal melting furnace vortex chamber body having a vortex chamber capable of communicating with a storage space of a furnace body having the storage space storing molten metal. The metal melting furnace vortex chamber body has a drop weir part which switches a communication state and an interruption state between the storage space and the vortex chamber. The drop weir part includes a blind drop weir and an opening type drop weir which are formed as separate members. At least the blind drop weir is movable up and down with respect to the vortex chamber body and is selectively positioned at an upward movement position and a downward movement position so as to switch the communication state and the interruption state.

A casting system and method. The casting system can include an energy source and a hearth, which can have a tapered cavity. The tapered cavity can have a first end portion and a second end portion, and the tapered cavity can narrow between the first and second end portions. Further, the tapered cavity can have an inlet at the first end portion that defines an inlet capacity, and one or more outlets at the second end portion that define an outlet capacity. Where the cavity has a single outlet, the outlet capacity can be less than the inlet capacity. Where the cavity has multiple outlets, the combined outlet capacity can match the inlet capacity. Further, the cross-sectional area of the tapered cavity near the inlet can be similar to the cross-sectional area of the inlet.

A method and apparatus for optimizing melting of titanium for processing into ingots or end products. The apparatus provides a main hearth, a plurality of optional refining hearths, and a plurality of casting molds or direct molds whereby direct arc electrodes melt the titanium in the main hearth while plasma torches melt the titanium in the refining chambers and/or adjacent the molds. Each of the direct arc electrodes and plasma torches is extendable and retractable into the melting environment and moveable in a circular pivoting or side to side linear motion.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for desulphurizing iron with minimal slag formation, comprising the steps of melting and heating, to a temperature of about 1400.degree. to 1800.degree. C., a slag having the following chemical composition:20% max SIO.sub.2 ;30% max/Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ;about 5-40% SiO.sub.2 +Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +TiO.sub.2 combined;2% max FeO;1.5% max MnO;about 25-65% CaO+MgO+BaO+Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O;20% max MgO;10% max Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O;60% max CaF.sub.2 ;about 50-85% CaO+MgO+BaO+Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O+CaF.sub.2 ;percentages by weight; where the ratio of the percentage by weight of CaO plus MgO divided by the percentage by weight of SiO.sub.2 plus one-half Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is at least two and where the ratio of the percentage by weight of Na.sub.2 O plus K.sub.2 O to SiO.sub.2 is no more than one; then mixing the sulphur-containing hot metal with this bath of molten slag so as not to exceed 10 parts molten iron per part slag by weight. The desulphurized molten iron is then drawn from beneath the slag bath. The process may be accomplished using a low shaft furnace according to the present invention comprising a furnace body lined with carbon bricks or carbonaceous, basic or high-alumina refractory bricks and having a discharge pipe extending down to the bottom of the furnace chamber for discharging the desulphurized molten iron from beneath the slag bath.
