Induction Furnace Is Used To Produce Non-ferrous Metals

Induction melting furnace is a widely used heating equipment, most of the smelting companies will use this type of melting furnace.

Composition

All kinds of induction furnaces, whether they are core induction furnaces or coreless induction furnaces, regardless of power frequency, intermediate frequency, or high frequency, their basic circuits are composed of variable frequency power supply, capacitors, induction coils and metal furnace materials in the crucible.

So what are the main uses of induction furnace is used to produce? Let's find out together.

Principle

Induction furnace is used for produce. Before understanding the use, we need to know its principle.

There is an induction coil in the induction furnace. When the alternating current passes through the induction coil, an alternating magnetic field is generated around the coil.

The conductive material in the furnace generates an induced potential under the action of the alternating magnetic field, and a current (eddy current) is formed at a certain depth on the surface of the charge. 

The metal charge to be heated is placed in an alternating magnetic field, and due to electromagnetic induction, an electric current is generated in the metal charge, and the charge is heated and melted by eddy current. Due to the resistance of the metal charge, the metal charge will be heated when the current passes through it. 

The induction furnace mainly uses this heat to heat and melt the metal charge, so as to achieve the purpose of heating all metal raw materials. Therefore, it seems that the induction melting furnace is the most efficient, faster, and low-consumption green induction heating equipment for heating metal materials.

Heating method: Under the action of the induction magnetic field, the metal charge generates eddy current, and realizes heating, melting and refining by resistance heat (no direct heating), the temperature is easy to control, the element volatilization and oxidation loss are small, and the alloy recovery rate is high

What is the main purpose of induction melting furnace?

1. Heat treatment process: partial or overall heat treatment, quenching, tempering, and diathermy of various metals;

2. Hot forming: whole forging, partial forging, hot heading, hot rolling;

3. Welding: brazing of various metal products, various CNC blade heads, sawtooth welding of woodworking saw blades, welding of seamless steel pipes, copper pipes, welding of the same and different metals;

4. Metal smelting: (vacuum pump) smelting of gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum and other metals, casting forming and coating of volatile surface;

5. Other applications of high-frequency heating machine: semiconductor single crystal growth, thermal cooperation, bottle stopper heat sealing, toothpaste skin heat sealing, powder coating, metal embedding in plastic, etc.

Among the various uses, induction furnaces are most in demand for the production of non-ferrous metals.

So, what are the benefits of induction furnace is used to produce of non-ferrous metals?

1. Melting non-ferrous metals with induction furnace can reduce melting loss or realize oxidation-free smelting.

2. When using an induction furnace to smelt aluminum or aluminum alloy, the melting speed is fast due to the strong oxidizing flame in the flameless furnace. In addition, the medium frequency induction furnace is recently used for melting to increase the melting speed and reduce electromagnetic stirring. The oxidation burning loss during melting is lower than that of flame furnace.

3. When the groove type induction furnace is used to melt copper, because the furnace is easy to seal, it is easy to pass into a reducing protective atmosphere to prevent the oxidation of copper liquid, so this form of induction furnace has become a typical production of oxygen-free copper wire and rod (plate) material ideal furnace type.

Different metal materials, different equipment scheme planning. The specific program needs to be determined according to the requirements. When we complete a project, we must choose a professional, capable and guaranteed manufacturer.

No matter what kind of induction melting furnace, EAF, SAF, LF, etc., Xi'an Hani Tech will provide suitable, professional, efficient and low energy consumption induction furnaces to every customer according to specific raw materials and melting requirements.

We will also continue to export relevant knowledge of the metal smelting industry, welcome to continue to pay attention to us. Any questions or needs, please feel free to contact us.
