Description

Verfahren zum Reinigen von Schmelzkanälen in Elektroöfen Beim Schmelzen von Metallen, insbesondere von Aluminium und seinen Legierungen, in elektrischen Induktionsöfen bildet sich im Schmelzkanal (Rinne) feste Kruste, die an den Wandungen des Kanals haftet.Method of cleaning melt channels in electric furnaces during melting of metals, especially aluminum and its alloys, in electrical Induction furnaces form a solid crust in the melting channel (channel) on the walls of the channel sticks.

In den Kanälen der Induktionsöfen müssen beim Betrieb ausreichende Strömungen auftreten, da die zugeführte elektrische Energie sich im wesentlichen hier in Wärme umsetzt. Beim mangelnden Flüssigkeitsaustausch mit dem Schmelzbade würde der Inhalt des Schmelzkanals unzulässig überhitzt werden. Die Kruste verringert den Querschnitt der Rinne und kann diese auch gänzlich verstopfen, wenn sie nicht entfernt wird.In the ducts of the induction furnaces there must be sufficient Currents occur because the electrical energy supplied is essentially different here converted into heat. If there is a lack of fluid exchange with the melt pool the contents of the melt channel would be excessively overheated. The crust diminishes the cross-section of the channel and can also completely block it if it does not Will get removed.

Bisher wurden die Kanäle der Induktionsöfen mechanisch geputzt. Dieses Vorgehen erreichte aber nicht den Zweck, zu mindestens gelang- es nicht, die glatte Oberfläche der Kanäle wieder herzustellen.. Die Kruste besteht hauptsächlich aus Ale 0, Mangan-und Siliciumoxyden und gegebenenfalls aus Mg0. Sie ist sehr hart. Beim Putzen der Rinne mit mechanischen Werkzeugen besteht auch die Gefahr, daß die Wandung der Rinne beschädigt wird, da sie weniger widerstandsfähig ist als die Oxyde. Andererseits erschwert die halbrunde Form der Kanalführung eine Behandlung mit mechanischen Werkzeugen außerordentlich, da man mit solchen nicht an die Krümmung herankommen kann. Besondere Öffnungen im-Rinnenstein, die nach dem Putzen der Rinne wieder verschlossen werden müssen, helfen dabei ebenfalls wenig. Der Verwendung von mechanischen Werkzeugen zum Putzen der Rinne im Betrieb steht auch die hohe Temperatur im Wege, die beim Schmelzen von Leichtmetallen in der Rinne meist Tiber 7oo° C beträgt. Die besten Stahlwerkzeuge werden dabei angelassen und verlieren ihre Härte.So far the ducts of the induction ovens have been cleaned mechanically. However, this procedure did not achieve the aim, at least it did not succeed in restoring the smooth surface of the channels. The crust consists mainly of ale 0, manganese and silicon oxides and possibly Mg0. It is very tough. When cleaning the channel with mechanical tools, there is also the risk that the wall of the channel will be damaged, since it is less resistant than the oxides. On the other hand, the semicircular shape of the channel guide makes treatment with mechanical tools extremely difficult, since you cannot get to the curvature with such tools. Special openings in the gutter stone that have to be closed again after cleaning the gutter are also of little help. The use of mechanical tools to clean the channel during operation is also prevented by the high temperature, which is usually over 700 ° C when light metals are melted in the channel. The best steel tools are tempered and lose their hardness.

Gegenstand der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Reinigen von Kanälen in Elektroöfen, ist von den erwähnten Nachteilen frei und hat wesentliche Vorteile.The invention relates to a method for cleaning channels in Electric furnaces are free from the disadvantages mentioned and have significant advantages.

Das neue Verfahren besteht darin, daß die Schmelzkanäle .in Elektroöfen mittels einer reduzierenden Wasserstoffflamme behandelt werden, die in diese Kanäle eingeführt wird und sie durchspült.The new method consists in that the melting channels .in electric furnaces be treated by means of a reducing hydrogen flame entering these channels is introduced and flushes them.

Durch die reduzierende Wirkung der Wasserstoffflamme verwandeln sich die Oxyde, die die Kruste in .der Rinne bilden, in flüssiges Metall, welches leicht abfließt. Durch das neue Reinigungsverfahren wird die harte Kruste mühelos entfernt ohnü Beschädigungen des Rinnensteines und ohne Abkühlung des Ofens. Auf diese Weise wird der Ofen geschont und die Unterbrechungen des Betriebes auf längere Zeit vermieden.The reducing effect of the hydrogen flame transforms the oxides that form the crust in the gutter turn into liquid metal, which easily drains. The new cleaning process removes the hard crust effortlessly without damaging the gutter stone and without cooling the furnace. In this way the furnace is protected and interruptions in operation are avoided for a long time.

Das beschriebene Verfahren wird zweckmäßigerweise wie folgt ausgeführt: Sobald das Auftreten der Kruste sich z. B. durch das Herabsinken der Stromstärke infolge des wachsenden Widerstandes bemerkbar macht, wird mit der Reinigung sofort nach dem Ablassen des Metalls begonnen. Der Ofen wird dazu am besten so gedreht, daß der Rinnenstein waagerecht steht. An eine Wasserstoffflasche wird über ein Re-. duzier- und ein Rückschlagventil ein langes' dickwandiges eisernes Rohr angeschlossen.' Mittels des Reduzierventils wird zunächst ein:' kleiner Druck, z. B. 2 atü, eingestellt und der aus dem offenen Ende des Rohres ausströmende Wasserstoff angezündet. Dann wird sofort nach dem Ablassen des Metalles das Rohr mit der Flamme in die noch heiße Rinne des Induktionsofens eingeführt. Der Druck wird allmählich erhöht, und zwar so weit, daß die Wasserstoffflamme durch die Rinne ganz hindurchgeht. Die Wasserstoffflamme wirkt reduzierend auf die Oxyde in der Rinne und verwandelt sie in flüssiges Metall, das leicht abfließt. Erfolgt die Reinigung rechtzeitig und regelmäßig, so arbeitet der Ofen einwandfrei und ohne wesentliche Unterbrechungen des Betriebes.The method described is expediently carried out as follows: As soon as the appearance of the crust z. B. by decreasing the current strength becomes noticeable as a result of the growing resistance, is immediately cleared with the cleaning started after draining the metal. The oven is best for this turned so that the gutter stone is horizontal. A hydrogen bottle is attached about a re-. duzier and a non-return valve a long 'thick-walled iron Pipe connected. ' By means of the reducing valve, a: '' small pressure, z. B. 2 atü, set and the hydrogen flowing out of the open end of the tube set on fire. Then immediately after draining the metal, the pipe with the flame inserted into the still hot channel of the induction furnace. The pressure will be gradual increased so far that the hydrogen flame goes all the way through the channel. The hydrogen flame has a reducing effect on the oxides in the channel and transforms them into liquid metal that drains easily. The cleaning takes place on time and regularly, so the furnace works flawlessly and without significant interruptions of the company.
