The invention discloses a method for preparing a hollow steel
ingot for a
protection ring of a large power generator by adopting electroslag remelting. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing consumable
electrode groups; (2) melting
slag into liquid
molten slag; (3) inserting the consumable
electrode groups into an electroslag remelting hollow
ingot crystallizer; (4) starting two transformers; (5) injecting the liquid
molten slag into the electroslag remelting hollow
ingot crystallizer; (6) when the consumable
electrode groups are in contact with the liquid
molten slag, forming an electrifying loop among fake electrodes, the consumable electrode groups and a
bottom water tank; (7) when the liquid molten
slag is in contact with an upper section, forming a loop among the upper section, the
bottom water tank and the transformers connected with the
bottom water tank; (8) adjusting the output currents and voltages of the two transformers; (9) when a
metal melt is in contact with a
molten steel liquid level detection device, starting an ingot stripping device for ingot stripping; (10) exchanging the consumable electrode groups; and (11) inserting subsequent consumable electrode groups into the liquid molten
slag, and repeating the steps (8 to 10) until the ingot stripping is finished.
