Definitions
- the aim of this invention is to eliminate this phenomenon by means of a continuous renewal of the wall of said crucible.
- the invention accordingly has for its object a casting device of the type comprising an electron gun which is disposed axially above a crucible having an axially movable base and a device for the continuous introduction of material to be melted in the eletcron beam, characterized in that the crucible is provided with a side wall which is endowed with uniform motion and is continuously replaced by an identical wall.
- this device comprises two movable members which are adapted to rotate about axes located at right angles to the ice axis of the crucible said movable members being mounted in adjacent relation and provided with identical grooves forming a circular gap for casting metal at the points of contact of said two movable members.
- the movable members are grooved pulleys which has axes at right angles to the axis of the crucible and which are in contact along one of their generatrices.
- the circular gap between the grooves thus forms conjunction with the base a melting pot having a side wall which is renewed progressively as the movement of the pulleys takes place.
- the crucible wall leaves the melting point before any troublesome deposit has had time to form, and is progressively replaced by a fresh wall. Consequently, the melting process always takes place in a crucible which has a clean wall.
- FIG. 1 shows partly in side view and partly in axial cross-section a casting device in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is an overhead plan view of the crucible which is employed in the device of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is an axial sectional view of an alternative form of construction of the casting device
- FIG. 4 is an overhead plan view of the crucible of said alternative form of construction.
- the casting device as a whole is placed within a leaktight chamber which has not been shown in the drawings.
- a leaktight chamber which has not been shown in the drawings.
- the axis of said conduit is inclined to the axis of the electron beam 3 which is delivered 'by the gun I in order that the particles of material should be introduced at the center of said beam.
- a plunger 4 is adapted to move axially between two identical pulleys 6, 8 which are mounted side by side and which are tangent to each other at 10 along one of their generatrices.
- the grooves 7, 9 of the pulleys 6, 8 form an annular gap 12 having a diameter which corresponds to that of the plunger 4 and consequently of the ingot to be formed.
- the pulleys 6, 8 are rotatably mounted on shafts 14, 16 which are at right angles to the plunger 4 and carried by end-plates 18 which are rigidly fixed to a base 20.
- the stem 22 of the plunger 4 is adapted to pass through the center of said base 20 and to slide freely with respect to this latter.
- said pulleys are driven in rotation in opposite directions as shown by the arrows of FIG. 1 by means of any suitable system such as pulleys, pinions or the like which are fixed on the shafts 14 and 16 and driven by a single motor.
- each pulley 6, 8 is rigidly fixed to a toothed pinion 17, 19 (FIG. 2) and one of said pinions, namely the pinion 19, is in mesh with a pinion 21 which is driven by a motor 23.
- the pinion 19 is coupled with the pinion 17 by means of a rack 25 having two parallel sets of teeth; the pinions 17 and 19 and consequently the pulleys 6 and 8 therefore rotate in opposite directions.
- the rack 25 is secured to the plunger 4 by means of an arm 27, with the result that the movement of rotation of the 3 pulleys causes the said plunger 4 to slide with respect to the base 20.
- the crucible 12 is thus constituted on the one hand by the wall of the grooves 7 and 9 at the tangential point 10 or point of contact of the pulleys, said wall being continuously withdrawn and replaced while remaining identical with itself and, on the other hand, by the plunger 4 which forms a movable base and accordingly recedes from said wall progressively as the ingot is formed, said pulley grooves and said plunger being displaced at the same time in a synchronized movement.
- the molten material is cast in said crucible 12 which is cooled by circulation of fluid within the conduits 24.
- said material forms a cylindrical ingot 28 as shaped by the grooves 7 and 9 and the casting skin in particular becomes sufiiciently strong to dispense with any further need of lateral support.
- the plunger therefore extracts the ingot 28 from the gap 12 in a progressive manner while the pulleys 6 and 8 rotate, thereby progressively moving said ingot away from the walls of the grooves 7 and 9 which have just been in contact with the molten material and bringing into contact a clean portion of the same grooves which progressively re-forms the crucible 12.
- the speed of rotation of the pulleys is preferably very low, for example 10 to millimeters per minute in tangential velocity, so as to enable the ingot to form normally but remains sufficiently high to prevent any possibility of evaporation to an extent which might result in the formation of a troublesome layer on the walls of the grooves.
- the movement of the plunger and consequently the rate of extraction of the ingot is dependent on said tangential velocity, which is dependent in turn on the nature of the material and on the diameter of the ingot to be obtained.
- the assembly consisting of base 20 and pulleys 6, 8 which is rigidly coupled for rotation with the stem 22 of the plunger 4 by means of the rack 25 or, in other words, the assembly consisting of all the components of the crucible 12, is driven in rotation about the axis of said plunger, for example by means of a set of teeth 31 (FIG. 1) which is carried by the base 20 and engaged with a pinion 29 which is driven in rotation by a motor 30.
- the grooved pulleys 32, 34 which constitute the side wall of the crucible are provided with one or a number of teeth 36 (three in the case of the example shown in the figure) which partially close the groove 33, 35 and form a throttled section of the crucible.
- the ingot 38 is consequently provided at uniform intervals with necked portions which make it possible to break off the ingot in sections without difficulty.
- the casting operation is preferably carried out as a continuous process. This can readily be ensured since the bottom of the crucible is constituted by the metal which has just set. Each ingot section which is formed can thus be detached as it is delivered from the crucible and no longer needs to be supported.
- a plunger or like member is employed only at the beginning of the casting operation so as to provide the crucible with an initial base or end-wall and is then dispensed with, the ingot being first driven down by the teeth 36 and then displaced as a result of the motion of the pulleys themselves.
- the pinions 37 and 39 which are rigidly fixed to the pulleys 32 and 34 are then directly engaged with each other (FIG. 4) whilst one of said pulleys, namely the pulley 39, is engaged with a pinion 41 which is driven by a motor 43.
- the base 20 which supports the pulleys is driven in rotation in the same manner as in the previous example and the wall of the crucible rotates about the axis of this latter.
- the base 20 is pierced by a central bore 44 through which the ingot 38 can slide freely until it reaches a point located opposite to a breaking-off device of any known type (tongs or the like).
- each of the pulleys 6 and 8 or 32 and 34 for example at a point which is diametrically opposite to the tangential point 10, for a system such as a brush, scraper or like system, not shown, for the purpose of cleaning the bottom of the grooves 7, 9 or 33, 35.
- the diameter of the pulleys can also be fairly substantial in order that the draw-taper which is provided by the radius of curvature is not excessive and that the height or length over which the ingot solidifies is substantially rectilinear.
- the movable members could be endowed with any shape which is designed to permit of uniform displacement of the grooves above the plunger.
- a device for continuously casting granular refractory materials into an ingot comprising:
- a crucible in which the granular refractory materials to be cast are melted and subsequently cast into a continuous ingot, said crucible having an axially movable base;
- an electron gun disposed above said crucible for continuously melting granular refractory material in the crucible;
- a continuous-casting device in accordance with claim 1 characterized in that the crucible side wall comprises two movable members which are adapted to rotate about axes located at right angles to the axis of the crucible, said movable members being mounted in adjacent touching relation and provided with identical grooves forming a circular gap defining the crucible side wall for castng metal at the points of contact of said two movable members 3.
- a continuous-casting device in accordance with claim 2 characterized in that the movable members are grooved pulleys which have axes at right angles to the axis of the crucible and which are in contact along one of their generatrices.
- a continuous-casting device in accordance with .Iclaim 3 characterized in that the movable members are carried by a base which is rotatable about the axis of the crucible.
- each pulley comprises at least one tooth for partially closing the crucible.
