The technology for smelting certain (mainly low-carbon) steel grades provides for this process in a discharged vacuum environment. The special electric arc furnaces used for these purposes are complex equipment of a closed production cycle. Their design is calculated and manufactured taking into account the technological needs of a particular production. You can find out about the order form and settlements on the website https://www.sltgroup .ru /catalog /plavilnoe-oborudovanie /dugovye-staleplavilnye-pechi-dsp-eaf / the company "Modern Foundry Technologies", whose specialists provide their services in the selection and supply of foundry equipment at a high professional level.
Classification of vacuum electric arc furnaces
According to the principle of their constructional arrangement, all vacuum electric arc furnaces belong to the type of equipment for direct action of an electric arc on the melted scrap or workpieces. There are 2 main types:
- Equipped with a consumable electrode - a high-temperature arc crosses the entire working chamber between the metal being remelted (acts as a conductor) and the bath where the molten mass flows.
- Equipped with a non-consumable electrode - a graphite rod is used as the arc conductor.
In any case, the melting process takes place in a vacuum chamber, in which a predetermined level of vacuum is preliminarily created by pumping out air. The electric arc burns in vapors of the molten metal or injected inert gas. The walls and components of such vacuum melting chambers are equipped with an additional cooling system.
Vacuum electric arc furnaces belong to the category of sophisticated high-tech equipment. They are used for various industrial and laboratory research purposes. They make it possible to obtain materials with a minimum amount of impurities resulting from the oxidation of molten metal when interacting with air.
You can get more complete information and order a specific type of vacuum electric arc furnace for the needs of a particular production using the website of the "Modern Foundry Technologies" company. All necessary calculations and selection are carried out taking into account the parameters provided by the customer. It is possible to order the installation and start up the equipment in the operational mode under the supervision of the company's employees.
