Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a melting method and melting device for melting magnesium or magnesium alloy to obtain molten metal, capable of detecting combustion on the surface of molten metal of magnesium or magnesium alloy, and capable of rapidly extinguishing the burning.

[0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-012580 filed on January 20, 2005, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique

[0003] So far, magnesium or magnesium alloys have been melted in a melting furnace (hereinafter, in the description of the present application, magnesium and magnesium alloys are combined and described as magnesium.) When obtaining a molten metal, in order to prevent the combustion of magnesium on the surface of the molten metal, use Protective gas (cover gas) covers the molten metal near the surface.

[0004] As the shielding gas, a flame retardant such as sulfur hexafluorid...

Examples

experiment example

[0070] The setup shown in Figure 1 was used. The melting furnace 1 has an inner diameter of 300 mm and a height of 670 mm. The interior can be observed through the heat-resistant glass window installed on the furnace cover.

[0071] A crucible 2 having an inner diameter of 200 mm and a height of 300 mm is arranged in the melting furnace 1 . A molten metal obtained by melting 4.7 kg of a magnesium alloy (AD91D) was placed in the crucible 2, and its temperature was maintained at 680°C.

[0072] As the protective gas, 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone, which is a flame retardant, was diluted to 200ppm with carbon dioxide. . The shielding gas was supplied from the pipe 7 to the melting furnace 1 at a rate of 7.5 liters / minute.

[0073] The carbon monoxide concentration in the gas in the melting furnace 1 is measured by the sensor 4 and the carbon monoxide concentration meter 5 .

[0074] FIG. 3 shows the change with time of the carbon monoxide conce...
