Description

  

      Niederfrequenzofen    zum Schmelzen von Magnesium und     Magnesiumlegierungen.       Das Schmelzen von     Magnesium    in Nieder  frequenzöfen bereitete     bisher    grosse Schwie  rigkeiten, weil die meist gebogen ausgebildete       Ofenrinne    sich     schnell        zusetzte.    Das     Zusetzen     der     Rinne    hat folgende Ursachen:

         Magnesiumoxyd,        Abdecksalze    oder Mi  schungen von beiden setzen sich an das kera  mische Futter der     Rinne    an und haften dort       derart    fest, dass der     Rinnenquerschnitt    nur  mit     Hilfe    von mechanischen Werkzeugen wie  der auf die ursprüngliche Grösse gebracht  werden kann. Man hat deshalb schon früher  versucht, eiserne     Schmelzrinnen    zu verwen  den. Bei diesen wurde aber die Wandstärke  so gross gewählt, dass der weitaus grössere  Teil der     elektrischen    Energie im     Eisenquer-          schnitt    in Wärme umgesetzt wird.  



  Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, wird  die Schmelzrinne des erfindungsgemässen  Ofens mit einem     Eisen-    oder     Stahlblechrohr       ausgekleidet. Die Wandstärke dieses Blech  rohres wird, im Gegensatz zu den bisher an  gewendeten     Ausführungen,    so gering bemes  sen, dass sie kleiner ist als die     Eindringtiefe     des Stromes, beispielsweise nur 1 bis 3 mm  bei     einer    Frequenz von 50 Hz und     einer    rela  tiven     Permeabilität    des     Blechmaterials    von  etwa 400. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass     ein     Teil des Stromes im zu schmelzenden Ma  terial fliesst.  



  Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungs  gegenstandes ist     in    der Figur dargestellt. Mit  1 ist der     Ofentransformator    und mit 2 die  Schmelzrinne, die mit dem Blech 3 ausge  kleidet ist,     bezeichnet.    Der     Blechzylinder          kann    durch die verschliessbare Öffnung 4 ein  geschoben werden und wird beispielsweise  durch vorstehende Eisenlaschen gehalten, die  nach oben gebogen     sind    und das Rohr gegen  Herausrutschen aus der     Rinne    sichern.



      Low frequency furnace for melting magnesium and magnesium alloys. Melting magnesium in low-frequency furnaces has previously caused great difficulties because the furnace channel, which is usually curved, quickly clogged. The clogging of the channel has the following causes:

         Magnesium oxide, cover salts or mixtures of the two attach to the kera mix lining of the channel and adhere to it in such a way that the channel cross-section can only be brought to its original size with the help of mechanical tools such as the one. Attempts have therefore been made earlier to use iron melt channels. In these, however, the wall thickness was chosen so large that the far greater part of the electrical energy in the iron cross-section is converted into heat.



  In order to avoid these disadvantages, the melt channel of the furnace according to the invention is lined with an iron or sheet steel pipe. The wall thickness of this sheet metal tube is, in contrast to the designs previously applied, so small that it is smaller than the penetration depth of the current, for example only 1 to 3 mm at a frequency of 50 Hz and a relative permeability of the sheet material of about 400. This ensures that part of the current flows in the material to be melted.



  An embodiment of the subject invention is shown in the figure. With 1 of the furnace transformer and with 2 the melt channel, which is clad with the sheet 3 is referred to. The sheet metal cylinder can be pushed through the closable opening 4 and is held, for example, by protruding iron tabs that are bent upwards and secure the pipe against slipping out of the channel.
