example 2 was consistent with example 1 except that soft felt was used as a heat insulation material inside the guide cylinder, the infrared temperature measuring device T0 measured the liquid level temperature of 1420 ℃, the infrared temperature measuring device T1 measured the temperature of the temperature section P to be measured at 1000 ℃ for 2 hours, and the infrared temperature measuring device T2 measured the temperature of the temperature section P to be measured at 920 ℃ for 2 hours.
Example 3:
example 3 was identical to example 1 except that the lower edge of the guide shell of example 3 was spaced 30mm from the level of the melt. The infrared temperature measuring device T0 measures the temperature of the liquid level of molten soup to be 1420 ℃, and takes the cross section of the crystal bar at the side close to the liquid level at the moment as a cross section P to be measured; after 2 hours, the temperature of the cross section P to be measured is 1120 ℃ measured by the infrared temperature measuring device T1, and after 2 hours, the temperature of the cross section P to be measured is 1025 ℃ measured by the infrared temperature measuring device T2.
Example 4:
as shown in FIG. 2, when the single crystal furnace is used for lifting materials, the lifting speed is 3mm/min, wen Jiemian P to be detected is lifted to the position of an infrared temperature measuring device T5 through 5.55 hours, the temperature measuring point of the infrared temperature measuring device T5 is perpendicular to the lifting direction, and the temperature of the section P to be detected is 700 ℃ measured by the infrared temperature measuring device T5.
The lifting speed is 5mm/min, the Wen Jiemian P to be detected is lifted to the position of the infrared temperature measuring device T5 after 3 hours, the temperature measuring point of the infrared temperature measuring device T5 is perpendicular to the lifting direction, the temperature of the section P to be detected is 740 ℃ measured by the infrared temperature measuring device T5, and the crystal bar is cracked, particularly, the explosion test curves in fig. 10 and 11 are seen.
Example 5:
example 5 was consistent with example 4 except that the initial pull-up speed was set to 3mm/min, and maintained at that speed for 2 hours; and (3) increasing the lifting speed to 5mm/min, and then after 2.1 hours, increasing the temperature to be measured Wen Jiemian P to the position of the infrared temperature measuring device T5, wherein the temperature of the section P to be measured is 690 ℃ measured by the infrared temperature measuring device T5.
The test results show that: the heat history curves of the ingot in example 1 are shown in fig. 6, and the heat history curves of the ingot in example 1 and example 2 are shown in fig. 7, in example 1, since the cooling capacity of the ingot is weak, when the pulling speed is not less than 0.65mm/min, the ingot is distorted, and the production efficiency is affected. In the embodiment 2, the material of the guide cylinder with better heat insulation effect is selected, the cooling rate of the crystal bar is high, the pulling rate of the crystal bar is increased to be more than 0.65mm/min of the limiting pulling rate, and the crystal bar is not distorted even if the pulling rate reaches 0.7 mm/min. It is known from the combination of examples 1 and 2 that by enhancing the heat insulating capability of the guide cylinder, the cooling rate of the ingot is increased, which is beneficial to improving the problem of deformation of the ingot with high pulling rate.
The ingot heat history curves of example 1 and example 3 are shown in fig. 8, and the ingot longitudinal defect distributions of example 1 and example 3 are shown in fig. 9. In embodiment 1, the radial defect distribution of the finally obtained ingot is too large due to the too fast cooling rate of the ingot, so that a complete perfect crystal window cannot be grown (i.e. a cross section exists in the ingot, crystals at the cross section are all perfect crystals), and in embodiment 3, the cooling rate of the ingot is moderate, the radial defect distribution of the finally obtained ingot is relatively uniform, so that a complete perfect crystal window is grown, and a perfect wafer is further formed. As can be seen from the combination of example 3 and example 1, when the defect distribution in the ingot is similar to that of example 1, a perfect wafer cannot be grown, and the defect distribution can be improved by increasing the distance between the guide cylinder and the molten steel level and reducing the cooling rate of the ingot.
As shown in fig. 10 for the heat history curves of the ingot in example 4 and fig. 11 for the heat history curves of the ingot in example 4 and example 5, the cooling rate of the ingot in example 4 was slow and the operation time was long, and by adjusting the heat history curves of the ingot in fig. 10, it was found that the hanging ingot did not crack when the cooling rate of example 5 was performed in combination with example 4 and example 5, and the time was saved by 1.45 hours as compared with example 4. That is to say, if the situation of cracking of the crystal bar exists in actual production, the method can be adopted to obtain a cracking test curve first, then the heat history of the crystal bar is purposefully adjusted, and as long as the cooling rate of the adjusted crystal bar is smaller than the cooling rate of the cracking test, the occurrence of cracking can be avoided, so that the product yield is improved, and the production efficiency is improved.
