Here are three common methods for melting aluminum:
Reverberatory furnace melting: This is a traditional melting method that uses a reverberatory furnace to heat aluminum raw materials to a molten state. The reverberatory furnace is usually made of refractory materials and melts the aluminum through the heat generated by fuel combustion.
Induction melting: The alternating magnetic field generated by the induction coil is used to generate an induced current in the metal, thereby heating and melting the metal. This method has a fast heating speed and high energy utilization rate, and is suitable for small-scale melting.
Arc melting: In an arc furnace, high temperatures are generated by arc discharge to melt aluminum. Arc melting is usually used to produce high-purity aluminum or special alloys.
During the smelting process of aluminum, it is necessary to ensure safe operation and follow relevant safety regulations and operating procedures. At the same time, aluminum smelting may produce waste gas and waste slag, which need to be properly handled and discharged to protect the environment.
Different smelting methods may be suitable for different production needs and conditions. Choosing a suitable smelting method requires considering many factors, such as smelting scale, product quality requirements, cost, etc.
How to effectively reduce the burning loss during aluminum smelting
The burning loss during aluminum smelting is a relatively complex problem, which needs to be effectively reduced from multiple aspects. The following are some common methods:
Induction billet furnaces can heat billets to temperatures ranging from room temperature to over 1200°C.
After the Slab is pulled out from the continuous casting machine,Surface temperature is 750 ~ 850℃.
The melting furnace mainly melting the steel, iron and metal. The equipment is mainly composed of power control cabinet and melting furnace body.
