What affects induction furnace operation?

2024.05.27

When the induction furnace is working, many factors will affect the service life of the electric furnace, such as the structure of the furnace body, the material of the furnace lining, the operation method in the production process and so on.

1. Electrical Parameters

Frequency:

The operating frequency of the furnace affects the penetration depth of the electromagnetic field into the material. Higher frequencies are used for smaller workpieces and lower frequencies for larger ones.

Power Supply:

The power supplied to the furnace determines the heating rate and the maximum achievable temperature. The stability and quality of the power supply are crucial for consistent operation.

2. Material Properties

Conductivity:

Highly conductive materials like copper require different settings compared to less conductive materials like iron.

Melting Point:

The melting point of the material dictates the required temperature and energy input for the process.

3. Furnace Design

Coil Design: The design of the induction coil (shape, size, and number of turns) affects the efficiency of energy transfer and the uniformity of heating.

Insulation: Proper insulation is necessary to minimize heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

The metal material smelted will also have an impact on the age of the furnace. Today we will share with you the content in this regard.

Among the materials that need to be smelted, high-chromium cast iron has the least erosive effect on the furnace body and lining due to the low smelting temperature, but special attention should be paid to the feeding method of the return material.

High-chromium cast iron has poor thermal conductivity and high brittleness.. Especially when the material block is large, the impact formed by the bursting is enough to cause cracks in the furnace lining.

induction furnace and the reduction and refining process is long, and the erosion effect on the basic furnace lining is greater, especially when the steel with high silicon content is smelted, the erosion effect is more serious.

If continuous production is not possible, repeated furnace opening and shutdown operations will cause the furnace lining to undergo alternate expansion and contraction, and the furnace lining is prone to cracks. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain continuous smelting production as much as possible.

This is what we are talking about today about the influence of the material of the smelting material on the age of the electric furnace, I hope it can help you.
