The invention discloses a method for producing huge high-purity
nickel ingot square billets through a four-gun
electron beam cold
bed furnace. The method comprises the following steps that electrolytic
nickel with the purity of 99.5 percent is selected, the surface of the electrolytic
nickel is cleaned, the electrolytic nickel is
cut into small blocks with the diagonals smaller than or equal to 120 mm, the small blocks are cleaned, dried and smelted in the
electron beam cold
bed furnace,
continuous casting is carried out through a square crystallizer, and the huge high-purity nickel
ingot square billets are obtained. According to the method, the
electron beam cold
bed furnace is used for carrying out
smelting, the
smelting speed is high, the whole
smelting process is carried out under a highly vacuum condition,
air pollution is avoided, and gas impurities can be effectively eliminated. As a refining cold bed is arranged, removal of saturated low-steam-pressure impurities, high-density impurities and low-density impurities can be realized in the
smelting process, and smelting and purification can be carried out simultaneously. By replacing the crystallizer, the huge high-purity nickel
ingot square billets of different specifications can be produced, the processes of skinning,
forging and the like in the prior art are simplified, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency of nickel plates and strips is largely improved.
