Abstract

1. Installation for melting aluminium or aluminium alloys or for keeping them in a molten state, comprising a container for molten aluminium and an electric circuit with an element immersed in the aluminium, this element consisting of a material with a higher melting point than aluminium, characterised in that the element consists of silicon carbide or graphite and the circuit is operated at a low voltage of about 5 to 15 volts.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux installations pour fondre une matière métallique ou pour maintenir en fusion une matière fondue, ainsi qu'aux procédés pour chauffer une matière fondue ou à fondre conductrice de l'électricité,The present invention relates to installations for melting a metallic material or for keeping molten material, as well as to methods for heating a molten material or for conducting electricity,

Pour retenir un alliage métallique fondu, c'est-à-dire pour l'empêcher de se répandre en le conservant, par exemple dans un four ou un creuset, il est connu de chauffer le récipient que constitue le creuset ou le four, afin que celui-ci transmette la chaleur qu'il reçoit à la masse en fusion qu'il contient.To retain a molten metal alloy, that is to say to prevent it from spreading by preserving it, for example in an oven or a crucible, it is known to heat the container that constitutes the crucible or the oven, in order that it transmits the heat it receives to the molten mass it contains.

La fusion ou le maintien en fusion de matièresnormalement solides à la température ambiante, conductrices de l'électricité, telles que les métaux, peut s'effectuer dans des installations diverses.The fusion or maintenance of fusion of normally solid materials at room temperature, electrically conductive, such as metals, can be carried out in various installations.

Le four à creuset, chauffé par flammes ou par des résistances électriques, rayonnant de l'énergie sur le creuset, la flamme abrase et use les matériaux réfractaires constitutifs du four. Les résistances électriques ne supportent pas des températures élevées.The crucible furnace, heated by flames or by electrical resistances, radiating energy on the crucible, the flame abrades and wears down the refractory materials constituting the furnace. The electrical resistances do not withstand high temperatures.

Un four à induction à creuset est coûteux à installer et à entretenir notamment en raison de ses inducteurs. Le dépannage ne peut être effectué que par des électroniciens spécialisés.A crucible induction furnace is expensive to install and maintain, in particular because of its inductors. Troubleshooting can only be carried out by specialist electronics engineers.

Pour un four à induction à canal, où le métal contenu dans le canal s'échauffe sous l'effet des courants induits créés par une bobine d'induction et par un noyau magnétique englobant le canal, il faut, sous peine d'en abréger beaucoup la longévité, laisser toujours du métal liquide dans le canal, ce qui impose un fonctionnement ininterrompu. La puissance installée est limitée de sorte que la vitesse de fusion est petite. La réfection des réfractaires est onéreuse.For a channel induction furnace, where the metal contained in the channel heats up under the effect of the induced currents created by an induction coil and by a magnetic core encompassing the channel, it is necessary, under penalty of shortening it much longevity, always leave liquid metal in the channel, which requires uninterrupted operation. The installed power is limited so that the melting speed is small. The repair of refractories is expensive.

En outre, le rendement de ces installations connues est médiocre.In addition, the performance of these known installations is poor.

L'invention pallie ces inconvénients par une installation peu coûteuse à installer et à entretenir, notamment par le fait que son équipement électrique est simple, rapide à démarrer, pouvant fonctionner avec des interruptions sans inconvénient, donnant plus de sécurité, parce que fonctionnant à très basse tension (notamment entre 5 et 15 volts) améliorant les conditions de travail, parce que ne polluant pas l'atmosphère et ne créant pas de bruit et permettant d'atteindre un meilleur rendement que les installations antérieures.The invention overcomes these drawbacks by an installation that is inexpensive to install and maintain, in particular by the fact that its electrical equipment is simple, quick to start, able to operate with interruptions without inconvenience, giving more security, because operating at very low voltage (especially between 5 and 15 volts) improving working conditions, because it does not pollute the atmosphere and does not create noise and makes it possible to achieve better performance than previous installations.

L'invention a donc pour objet une installation pour fondre du métal ou pour le maintenir en fusion, comprenant un récipient à métal fondu et un circuit électrique à élément immergé dans le métal, caractérisée en ce que l'élément est en une matière de résistivité électrique et de point de fusion supérieurs à ceux du métal.The subject of the invention is therefore an installation for melting metal or for keeping it in fusion, comprising a container of molten metal and an electrical circuit with an element immersed in the metal, characterized in that the element is made of a material of resistivity electrical and melting point higher than those of metal.

Comme ce ou ces éléments immergés sont réalisés en matériau non métallique, tel que le graphite ou le carbure de silicium, ou en une matière métallique dont la résistivité électrique est supérieure à celle du métal dans lequel ils sont immergés, ce sont le ou les éléments résistants qui subissent préférentiellement l'échauffement par passage direct du courant.As this or these submerged elements are made of non-metallic material, such as graphite or silicon carbide, or of a metallic material whose electrical resistivity is higher than that of the metal in which they are immersed, these are the element (s) resistors which preferentially undergo the heating by direct passage of the current.

Dans le cas d'un seul élément bouclant un circuit électrique, il est appliqué à celui-ci un potentiel électrique à ses deux extrémités.In the case of a single element completing an electrical circuit, an electrical potential is applied to the latter at its two ends.

Dans le cas de plusieurs éléments, de préférence en un nombre qui est un multiple de 2 ou de 3, il est appliqué à chacun d'eux un potentiel électrique, le circuit se bouclant par le métal lui-même dans lequel ils sont immergés, ceci afin de réaliser un couplage électrique classique.In the case of several elements, preferably in a number which is a multiple of 2 or 3, an electrical potential is applied to each of them, the circuit closing in on the metal itself in which they are immersed, this in order to achieve a conventional electrical coupling.

Le métal dans lequel sont immergés le ou les éléments chauffants peut être à l'état liquide, pâteux ou solide, la seule condition étant qu'il y ait contact intime entre métal et élément résistant immergé : le point de fusion de l'élément est supérieur à celui du métal d'au moins 100° C de préférence et mieux d'au moins 200° C.The metal in which the heating element (s) are immersed can be in the liquid, pasty or solid state, the only condition being that there is intimate contact between metal and immersed resistant element: the melting point of the element is higher than that of the metal by at least 100 ° C preferably and better by at least 200 ° C.

Le chauffage de bain par électrodes plongeantes est un procédé connu dans lequel les électrodes peu résistantes ont pour seul but d'amener le courant au bain qui, lui, est résistant.The bath heating by plunging electrodes is a known process in which the weak resistance electrodes have the sole purpose of bringing the current to the bath which is itself resistant.

Suivant l'invention, le système est inversé par le fait que le ou les éléments immergés sont beaucoup plus résistants que le métal dans lequel ils plongent, ce dernier ayant comme rôle de fermer le circuit électrique.According to the invention, the system is reversed by the fact that the submerged element or elements are much more resistant than the metal in which they immerse, the latter having the role of closing the electrical circuit.

L'invention s'applique avec un avantage particulier à la fusion de l'aluminium.The invention applies with an advance special stage in the smelting of aluminum.
