Abstract

PURPOSE:To save energy, to shorted melting work time and to improve quality of a product by utilizing superheated vapor to melting a metal. CONSTITUTION:An ingot inserted in a metal melting furnace 2 from a receiving hole 1 is preheated with electricity or gas burner 7, etc. Then, low-pressure and high temp. superheated vapor is poured into a melting furnace 2 from a boiler 6 connected with the melting furnace 2 through blowing holes 5, 8 as openable/closable. At this time, the blowing holes 5, 8 are used at the initial stage of melting start, and the blowing hole 8 is used till developing metal slag. At the time when discharge of the metal slag is needed, by using the blowing hole 5, the metal slag is discharged from a discharging hole 4. By this method, efficiency of superheated vapor is improved and melting time can be shortened, and at the time of melting the metal or alloy, the adverse effect is not given to the quality, because the melting is executed with superheated vapor under the existence of diluted air or no air at all.
