Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the manufacture of metallic granules. Its main object is a process for manufacturing metallic granules and it extends to the products obtained in accordance with this process as well as to a device particularly suitable for the implementation of this process.
  • the invention is applicable for putting any metal in the form of granules, by including in this concept, not only pure or almost pure metals, but also metal compositions or alloys.
  • the objective is to obtain practically spherical grains, of diameter for example of the order of 0.1 to 5 mm, together forming a powder which is pourable, easy to transport by pneumatic means, and which has a relatively apparent density. high, without great porosity, with in addition the possibility of obtaining a uniform grading of the grains, possibly after an easy sorting.
  • the present invention provides a method which overcomes the drawbacks of this prior art. It is characterized in that the molten metal is passed in the divided state through a purification bath, it is combined into a mass of molten metal separated from said bath by decantation, and said metal jet is formed melted by sampling from said mass.
  • the method according to the invention can be applied to the manufacture of metallic granules from baths of molten metals of any composition. It will however be observed that most often the metals treated are in the molten state at a temperature of between 200 and 1500 ° C. and that the vibrating orifice through which the jet of molten metal exits generally opens out in an atmosphere cooled by loss. thermal in the ambient air, the temperature of which can therefore be between 20 and 90 ° C. for example. In practice, operation is advantageously carried out under conditions such that the temperature difference between the molten metal when the jet is formed and the atmosphere in which the vibrating orifice opens is at least of the order of 200 ° C. and preferably between 300 and 1,300 ° C, and more particularly between 500 and 1,000 ° C.
  • the drops of the jet are dropped by gravity through an atmosphere of inert gas maintained at a temperature below the solidification temperature of the molten metal .
  • the inert gas atmosphere can be chosen according to the nature of the metal, the diameter of the jet and the pressure conditions at the level of the vibrating orifice, so that the drops formed quickly reach the limit falling speed, over a period of time. drop height left available in the atmosphere which is sufficient to allow complete solidification of the granules before their collection.
  • the fall speed can be for example of the order of 2 to 30 meters per second and, depending on the thermal conditions, solidification can take a time corresponding to a fall height of the order of 10 cm to 20 m, or preferably 20 cm to 10 m.
  • the metal drops are subjected to internal forces which result from the vibrations communicated at the time of the division of the jet into drops at the outlet of the vibrating orifice.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to obtain powders of granules in which the diameters of the granules can be for example of the order of 0.2 to 3 mm, with dispersions relative to the average size which can remain less than ⁇ 0 , 5 mm, or even not to exceed approximately ⁇ 0.01 mm.
  • the powders obtained also have surface qualities which are generally favorable to the properties which are sought in this type of granule, in particular a surface hardness and a resistance which contribute to the good conservation of the powder and its flowability.
  • the inert gas can for example be helium, argon or mixtures of these gases. In certain cases, it may be advantageous to further ensure dispersion of the metal drops during solidification with respect to the direction of fall of the jet, so as to prevent individual drops from being able to merge during solidification.
  • the mass of molten metal can be maintained from which the jet is taken in contact with a chosen purification bath which is immiscible with it and which selectively dissolves the derivatives resulting from its possible oxidation.
  • the metal can advantageously be melted, made to pass in the molten state through the bath of selective dissolution of the oxidation derivatives and the separate by decantation to constitute the mass from which the jet is taken, and provide that the molten metal is then conducted without any contact with air or an oxidizing atmosphere until the exit of the jet in an inert cooling atmosphere such that described above, preferably by means of a vertical pipe section ending in the vibrating orifice.
  • the bath used can advantageously consist of a molten halide of at least one metal of the molten metal mass. It can also consist of a molten halide of at least one additional metal which is more reducing than the essential metal of the granules and incorporated in small proportion in said mass.
  • Such an additional metal may in particular be calcium, a metal whose oxide readily dissolves in a bath of fluoride and / or calcium chloride.
  • a proportion of calcium of the order of 0.5 to 10% by weight is generally sufficient in metals such as aluminum or magnesium for example.
  • metals such as aluminum or magnesium for example.
  • the additional metal can be found in the granules obtained in accordance with the invention, while the recommended processing conditions make it possible to prevent the molten salts being found there other than in the trace state, detectable but not bothersome, and in particular the invention makes it possible to produce granules of reactive metals such as calcium, magnesium or aluminum which, despite the use of a bath of molten salts, have no hygroscopicity character detrimental to the preservation and flowability of the powders.
  • the manufacture of metallic granules involves the use of a device comprising a metal melting furnace in a receptacle for receiving a mass of molten metal, means for forming a jet of metal taken from said mass, through a vibrating orifice, means for causing the vibration of said orifice and thus ensuring the division of the jet into individual drops, and a chamber for cooling and solidifying the metal issuing from said orifice, over at least the distance traveled by the drops during their solidification.
  • the device comprises a siphon for withdrawing metal from a mass of molten metal separated from a bath of molten salts by decantation in said container.
  • said container of said cooling chamber is preferably sealed and means are advantageously provided for separately adjusting the pressure of an inert gas in said container and in said cooling chamber.
  • the device comprises a heating cell provided with a sealed enclosure forming a container and heating means, a member for introducing raw materials into the cell, a cooling in communication with the cell by a conduit comprising a siphon and a zone pierced with at least one vibrating orifice, a first pneumatic means for establishing and controlling the pressure of the atmosphere in the enclosure, a vibrator connected to the zone comprising the vibrating orifice and arranged so as to make it vibrate continuously, a second pneumatic means for establishing and controlling the pressure of the atmosphere contained in the cooling chamber, and a device for discharging the solid from this chamber.

  • This enclosure 6 is heated by an oven 7 surrounding its side walls and maintaining inside the enclosure a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the metal.
  • the molten metal 8 occupies the lower part of the enclosure 6; it is surmounted by a gaseous atmosphere 9 the pressure of which is controlled by a first pneumatic means 10 to which it is connected by a pipe 23. This pressure in the atmosphere 9 can be increased or decreased, causing more or less rapid injection of the molten metal 8 through conduit 4.
  • This conduit consists of a curved tube 11, one end 12 of which is immersed in the molten metal 8 and the other end of which 13 penetrates vertically into the upper part of the tower. cooling 3.
  • the upper part of the tube, near the end 12, is bent to form a siphon, the elbow protruding from the level of the molten metal.
  • the end 12, the mouth of which faces the bottom 14 of the enclosure 6, is provided with a filter 15 intended to retain the impurities contained in the molten metal.
  • the area of the enclosure 6 in the vicinity of the bottom 14 is a settling area where impurities of higher density can accumulate than the rest of the liquid.
  • the filter can be placed just above this settling zone of the molten metal to prevent suspended solid inclusions from quickly clogging the filter.
  • the heating cell 2 further comprises a mechanical stirring means schematically represented by the propeller 18, ensuring stirring and homogenization of the liquid.
  • the end 13 of the tube 11 ends in at least one orifice for the injection of the molten metal into the cooling tower 3.
  • the filiform flow of molten metal thus obtained forms a jet in vertical drop to which vibrations are applied to produce uniform drops of liquid.
  • the end 13 of the tube is animated by vibrations by a vibrator 16 and a connecting device schematically represented by the rod 17.
  • the drops of molten metal formed at the end 13 of the conduit 4 are dispersed in the cooling tower by a dispersing means 19.
  • the drops of liquid disperse away from the vertical direction of the jet and they solidify before falling back to the bottom 20 of the tower 3.
  • the latter contains a gaseous atmosphere allowing the rapid cooling of the metal and inert with respect to of it. It can include different means for accelerating the cooling of the metal, for example means for circulating the gas. The rate of cooling of the drops can condition the nature of the phase of the solidified material and, thus, the quality of the product obtained.
  • the use of a sealed cooling tower prevents communication of its internal atmosphere with the ambient air.
  • the pressure of the gaseous atmosphere of the tower can be controlled by a second pneumatic means 25 to which it is connected by a pipe 24.
  • the metal introduction member 1 comprises a communication lock 21 and the evacuation device 5 comprises a lock 22.
  • the device of Figures 2 and 3 largely comprises the same essential organs as the previous one. Like it, it purifies the already molten metal, just before the formation of the jet and the liquid drops, by reaction with a bath of molten salts capable of dissolving the oxidation products and of retaining them in this bath, but more especially in the case of a denser purification bath than the molten metal.
  • the furnace 31 makes it possible to heat the cell 32 so as to melt and keep the materials introduced therein, as well the metal intended to constitute the granules produced as metal halides constituting the purification bath.
  • the cell 32 is equipped to define inside the oven two separate compartments communicating with each other by a filter 35.
  • the embodiment shown in detail in FIG. 3 corresponds to the case where a bath of purification salts more dense than molten metal.
  • a tubular chimney 36 is disposed vertically in the enclosure 32, the cover 37 of which it passes in leaktight manner, to open to the outside via an airlock 38 for loading the solid products.
  • the filter 35 is arranged across the lower end of the chimney 36, above the bottom 39 of the cell 32.
  • a first compartment 41 is thus formed by the volume internal to the chimney 36.
  • the metal is introduced into solid pieces through the airlock 38 and that its fusion is ensured.
  • the metal is protected from oxidation by an inert gas which is admitted into this compartment at 42.
  • the other compartment 43 is formed by the intermediate volume between the chimney 36 and the container limiting the cell 32. Its role is to allow by separation the separation between the molten metal and the purification bath after it has passed through this bath. It thus makes it possible to create in the cell 32 a mass of molten metal 44 in which the sample will be taken for the formation of the liquid metallic jet. In the case of the figure, the mass of liquid metal 44 is decanted above the bath of molten salts 45 and it is surmounted by an atmosphere of inert gas introduced into cell 32 at 46.
  • the purification salt is present in quantity sufficient for the filter 35 to always remain immersed in the bath 45.
  • liquids can be forced through the filter 35, either to cause the transfer of the molten metal from the compartment fusion 41 to the settling compartment 43, that is to circulate the molten salt through the holes of the filter for cleaning purposes.
  • the siphon duct 34 comprises two vertical coaxial tubes sliding one in the other.
  • the internal tube 40 crosses the bottom 39 of the cell 32. It opens at its upper end into the atmosphere of inert gas which overcomes the mass of molten metal 44, at 47, and it ends at its lower end with l vibrating orifice 48 through which it opens vertically at the top of the tower 33.
  • a vibrator has been shown at 49 which acts on the end of the tube 46 and thus causes the jet to be divided into liquid drops as soon as it leaves the orifice 48
  • the external tube 51 of the siphon can be moved from outside the cell by means of a rod 52. It is closed at its upper end and when it is completely lowered it opens by its lower end at the level of the melt 44. Its operation thus makes it possible to initiate the siphon and to make the liquid metal flow through the internal tube 46.
  • the jet of liquid metal divided into drops falls into the tower 33 which is filled with an inert gas admitted at 51 and extracted at 52 ( Figure 2).
  • the internal atmosphere of the tower cools by heat loss in the ambient air through its walls.
  • the height of the tower is sufficient for the drops of liquid metal to solidify completely during their fall.
  • the solid granules thus obtained are collected at the bottom of the tower 33 and they are extracted therefrom by an airlock 53.
  • the filter 35 intended to prevent the passage of any solid inclusion which could block the vibrating orifice 48, has holes of dimension less than or at most equal to that of this orifice, and for example less than 200 microns, for vibrating orifices of diameters which may vary between 200 microns and 3 mm.
  • the device according to the invention can be constituted differently in other embodiments.
  • the shape of the chimney 36 and that of the siphon 34 can be modified to adapt the cell 32 to receive a bath of molten salts of lower density than that of the molten metal.
  • the removal of liquid metal then takes place in the mass which settles below the bath of molten salts.
  • the production yield of granules can be increased, in an industrial manufacture, by replacing the single orifice 48 by a vibrating plate provided with holes which form separate jets. It is thus possible to form a series of jets in the same cooling atmosphere and at the end of the same sampling device.
  • One can also multiply the number of sampling devices by siphoning in the same mass of liquid metal and these different sampling devices can lead to jets formed either in the same cooling tower or in different towers.

  • a powder intended for use in aluminothermy was produced from molten aluminum brought to 850 ° C., using in addition a bath of molten cryolite (Na 3 AIF 6 ) to dissolve the alumina.
  • the molten aluminum is denser than this bath and is therefore taken from the bottom of the cell.

  • Calcium is widely used for example in the refining of cast irons and steels.
  • the invention makes it possible to have it in the form of a regular powder of spherical granules which are easy to transport and to dose, without having to incorporate undesirable constituents therein.
  • the addition of magnesium to calcium lowers the melting point of the alloy. From 11.5% by weight of magnesium in the eutectic alloy to 28% by weight of magnesium, the temperature to be imposed on the molten alloy is in fact determined by the salt melting temperature: 645 ° C. for the CaCI 2 -CaF 2 eutectic - The fusion cell is therefore brought to 700 ° C. for example.
  • the same salt bath is used in the context of aluminum granulation. Then added to the solid aluminum introduced, calcium in an amount at least stoichiometric for the reduction of the oxygen which it may contain, ie for example 0.5% by weight of calcium for commercial aluminum metal.
  • the frequency of the vibrations imposed on the outlet of the jet was 1,500 Hz, but this frequency can be increased to 6,000 Hz, or any frequency between 1,000 and 16,000 Hz can be used.
  • the height of fall in the cooling gas was chosen sufficient so that there was always complete solidification of the drops during the fall, starting immediately at the outlet of the vibrating orifice, to benefit from the effect produced by vibration on the drops. The following data were based on evaluating the temperature of the cooling gas at 50 ° C. and for the temperature of the metal at the vibrating orifice of 70 ° C. above the melting point:
