Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal smelting, and particularly relates to a small electric arc smelting furnace.
Background
Arc melting is an electro-thermal metallurgical process for melting metals using an electric arc generated between an electrode and a charge. Generally, when the power supply supplies sufficient power, the gas between the positive and negative electrodes can continuously pass through a strong current and emit a strong light, thereby generating a height of several thousands or even tens of thousands of degrees celsius. When the electric arc is strong enough, the strong stirring effect can be generated on the melt in the crucible, and the sufficient uniformity of the material is facilitated. Due to the advantages, the electric arc melting is widely applied to the aspects of metal master alloy configuration, refractory alloy melting and the like, and particularly, the electric arc melting process is often adopted to prepare materials in the process of new material research and development.
In the actual arc melting process, the tungsten needle on the arc striking rod firstly contacts with the furnace charge to strike an arc, and after the arc striking is successful, the tungsten needle must be separated from the furnace charge immediately and keep a reasonable height to ensure the stable output of the arc. However, the arc striking rod of the domestic small arc melting furnace mostly adopts a connection form of a worm gear and a worm or a threaded screw rod, after the electric arc is generated, an operator hardly rotates the worm gear or the threaded handle in time to enable the position of the arc striking rod to rise, and then the arc striking rod and furnace burden are easily adhered together, and finally the arc striking failure is caused. Even if an operator rotates the turbine or the threaded handle to lift the arc striking rod, the arc striking rod cannot keep a proper distance from the furnace burden, the tungsten needle is easy to react with metal melt due to too small distance, so that the tungsten needle pollutes materials, and the too large distance easily causes electric arc interruption to cause smelting failure.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a small-sized arc melting furnace, which is convenient to operate, so as to effectively reduce the complexity of the arc melting operation process, and simultaneously, significantly reduce the possibility of the reaction between the tungsten needle and the molten metal, and greatly improve the stability and success rate of the arc melting process.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a small-sized electric arc melting furnace comprises a vacuum hearth and an arc striking rod, wherein the lower end part of the arc striking rod is inserted in the vacuum hearth, a tungsten needle is fixedly arranged at the lower end part of the arc striking rod, the upper end part of the arc striking rod is connected with a power supply through an electrode binding post, a plurality of water-cooled crucibles of a metal melting pool are arranged at the bottom of the vacuum hearth, the metal melting pool is used for placing molten metal, and the bottom of each water-cooled crucible is connected with the power supply through the electrode binding post; the small arc melting furnace also comprises a metal corrugated pipe sleeved on the arc striking rod, the lower end of the metal corrugated pipe is arranged on the wall of the vacuum hearth, and the upper end of the metal corrugated pipe is connected with the arc striking rod through a connecting piece; the metal corrugated pipe is further provided with a lower corrugated pipe limiting frame and an upper corrugated pipe limiting frame respectively, the lower corrugated pipe limiting frame is used for lower limiting during vacuumizing and inert gas filling, and the upper corrugated pipe limiting frame is used for upper limiting during arc striking and smelting.
Preferably, the metal corrugated pipe is provided with a limiting part which can be respectively connected with the lower limiting frame of the corrugated pipe and the upper limiting frame of the corrugated pipe in a limiting and matching manner.
Preferably, the upper limit bracket of the corrugated pipe and the lower limit bracket of the corrugated pipe are respectively installed on the wall of the vacuum furnace chamber.
Preferably, an arc striking rod handle is sleeved at the top of the upper end of the arc striking rod and used for compressing the metal corrugated pipe.
Preferably, the shell wall of the vacuum furnace is respectively provided with a vacuum interface for vacuumizing and an air charging interface for charging inert gas.
Preferably, the arc striking rod and the water-cooled crucible are both provided with a cooling water inlet and outlet channel with an inlet and an outlet.
Preferably, the vacuum furnace adopts a double-layer water-cooled furnace.
Preferably, the lower limit frame and the upper limit frame of the corrugated pipe are made of rubber materials or polytetrafluoroethylene materials.
Preferably, the tungsten needle has a length of 30 mm.
The invention creatively provides a metal corrugated pipe to replace a worm gear and worm screw and nut screw transmission mechanism in the conventional technology, and eliminates the operation that an arc rod is manually separated from metal furnace charge, thereby greatly improving the success rate of arc striking; meanwhile, the distance between the tungsten needle and furnace burden is limited by the metal corrugated pipe limiting frame, so that the stability of electric arc in the smelting process is effectively ensured; therefore, the invention not only has convenient operation and effectively reduces the complexity of the electric arc melting operation process, but also obviously reduces the possibility of the reaction of the tungsten needle and the metal melt, and greatly improves the stability and the success rate of the electric arc melting process.
