Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum induction furnace for the heating and treatment of metallic melts, consisting of a stationary part which, in addition to the supporting furnace frame, comprises the cooled induction coil arranged thereon and the magnetic yokes surrounding it, as well as a replaceable bearing in the furnace frame Transportable, dimensionally stable melting material container with a lid made of refractory material and a cover intended for the vacuum-tight closure of the container mouth, the latter including the cover with a spacing overlapping hood, which is tightly closed on a wreath equipped with sealing blades and encompassing the melting material container.
  • a vacuum induction furnace of this type, from which the invention is based, is known from DE-AS-22 43 769.
  • the melting vessel formed as a pan or crucible is covered with a gas-tight plastic jacket and inserted into the induction coil with a relatively large amount of play.
  • the collar supporting the hood is attached in a gas-tight manner at the upper end of the melting material vessel.
  • a cooling tube system which can be acted upon by gaseous coolant, in particular air, is embedded in the jacket of the melted material, which consists of a plurality of cooling tubes running along the melting material and distributed around the circumference and connected to one another, and which is primarily intended for the gas-tight Protect plastic sheath and the induction coil from overheating.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a vacuum induction furnace of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 with simple means and measures such that a simpler and cheaper production can be achieved, which also results in an improvement in the efficiency of the vacuum induction furnace and its functional reliability.
  • the solution to this problem is characterized in that an outer vessel made of fireproof, non-magnetizable, heat-insulating material is arranged, which is only open at the top and comprises the melting material vessel with virtually no play, the outer vessel is surrounded by the cooled induction coil without play, the ring with an axial distance from it Induction coil is placed tightly on the outside of the mouth edge part of the outer vessel, and that the outer vessel has a gas-tight envelope.
  • the outer vessel which is fixed to the frame, achieves such thermal insulation that the cooling tube system to be embedded in the jacket of the melting material vessel is no longer necessary, which results in a considerable reduction in production costs and also in operating costs.
  • the gas-tight envelope of the outer vessel is arranged in such a way that there is no risk of damage to the gas-tight envelope when inserting or removing the melting material vessel.
  • the gas tightness of the outer vessel can be achieved by a glaze added on the outside and possibly also on the inside.
  • the outer vessel has a gas-tight envelope made of plastic.
  • the outer vessel is lined with a heat-resistant layer of mineral fibers, in particular of micanite.
  • this at least makes it impossible to adhere firmly to the melting vessel in the outer vessel.
  • the drawing shows a vacuum induction furnace in longitudinal section.
  • This vacuum induction furnace comprises a stationary part 1 and a transportable part 2.
  • the latter consists of a melting material vessel 3 having annular cross-sections with a snout 4 and a lid 5 closing its mouth.
  • the melting material vessel 3 including snout 4 and lid 5 are made of ceramic ramming mass.
  • the melting material vessel 3 is tapered in its lower region towards its base 6.
  • a inspection hole 8 is arranged in the cover 5.
  • the melting material vessel 3 is stamped into an outer vessel 10 held on the furnace frame 9 virtually without play and detachably, which extends upwards extends under the snout 4 of the outer vessel 10.
  • the pot-shaped outer vessel 10 also has circular cross sections, is also made of ceramic ramming paste and is supported with its base 11 on a frame plate 12.
  • the bottoms 6 and 11 are each thicker than the side walls of the melting material vessel 3 and the outer vessel 10.
  • the outer vessel 10 together with the bottom 11 has an inseparably attached, gas-tight sheath 13 made of plastic, which extends over its entire outer side and optionally the inner side, and is surrounded by an induction coil 14 with magnetic yokes 15 held on the frame, for example water-coolable, the induction coil 14 bears directly and without play on the outer vessel envelope 13.
  • a collar 16 encompassing the vascular orifices 16 is tightly closed on the outer vessel 10 above the induction coil 14 and at an axial distance from the latter.
  • the latter has a circumferential sealing cutting edge 17 on which a gas-tight hood 19 equipped with an annular seal 18 is supported.
  • a circumferential stuffing box seal 20 of a known type is held thereon, the sealing means of which are applied in a sealing manner to the casing 13 of the outer vessel 10.
  • the stuffing box seal 20 is arranged below the outer vessel mouth and at an axial distance therefrom.
  • annular cooling device 21 which bears against the inside of the ring 16 is arranged within the ring 16 at a radial distance from the outer vessel 10.
  • the annular space located above the gland seal 20 between the outer vessel and the cooling device 21 is filled with silicone potting compound 22.
  • annular cooling device 23 made of austenitic steel, which is arranged at an axial distance from the ring 16 and comprises the outer vessel 10, is then arranged on the latter.
  • a cooling device 24 of the same type comprises the area of the outer vessel 10 located below the induction coil.
  • a cooling device 25 which is effective on the bottom 11 of the outer vessel 10 is arranged below the frame plate 12.
  • gaseous coolant is supplied to the cooling devices.
  • the outer vessel 10 has a lining 26 made of micanite.
