Luoyang Judian Metal Hot Processing Equipment Co., LTD is mainly engaged in the manufacture of complete sets of equipment in the metal thermal processing industry and the integration of the entire production line.
Induction furnace steelmaking is a steelmaking process that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to heat and melt metal raw materials. The following is a detailed introduction to induction furnace steelmaking:
Working principle of induction furnace
Electromagnetic induction: The induction furnace generates an alternating magnetic field in the coil through an alternating current, so that the metal raw material generates an induced current (eddy current) in the magnetic field. Due to the existence of resistance, these induced currents will generate heat when flowing inside the metal, thereby melting the metal.
Efficient heating: The induction furnace has a fast heating speed, high thermal efficiency and precise temperature control, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of steelmaking.
Process flow of induction furnace steelmaking
Raw material preparation: Mix scrap steel, ferroalloys and other raw materials in proportion and perform pretreatment, such as removing surface rust and oil stains.
Loading: Put the treated raw materials into the induction furnace and close the furnace door.
Heating and melting: Start the induction furnace and adjust the current and frequency to heat and melt the metal in the alternating magnetic field.
Refining: After the metal is melted, it is refined as needed, such as deoxidation, desulfurization and removal of non-metallic inclusions, to improve the purity and quality of the molten steel.
Pouring: The refined molten steel is poured into the mold through the pouring system and cooled to form a billet or casting.
Advantages of induction furnace steelmaking
Environmental protection and energy saving: The induction furnace produces less waste gas and wastewater during the steelmaking process, and due to efficient heating, it can significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution.
High flexibility: The induction furnace can flexibly adjust the heating power and temperature, which is suitable for the processing of a variety of metal raw materials and has high production flexibility.
Stable quality: Due to the uniform heating and precise temperature control of the induction furnace, the steel produced is of stable quality and excellent performance.
Application fields of induction furnace steelmaking
Induction furnace steelmaking is widely used in the steel industry, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, and is one of the important methods for producing high-quality steel and castings.
In summary, induction furnace steelmaking is an efficient, environmentally friendly and flexible steelmaking process with broad application prospects and development potential.
