Obviously, the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of vacuum furnace for smelting nickel-based high-temperature aluminum alloys, comprising a furnace body 1, an inner liner 17 welded inside the furnace body 1, a through hole 18 opened on the outer surface of the furnace body 1, a connecting shaft 15 arranged in the through hole 18, the interior of the connecting shaft 15 is a through-hole structure, the interior of the connecting shaft 15 passes through an electrode induction device connected to a wire 10, one end of the electrode induction device connected to the wire 10 is connected to an induction coil 12, the induction coil 12 surrounds a crucible 14, and an asbestos mesh 13 is between the crucible 14 and the induction coil 12. When the staff turns on the external electrode induction device, the metal in the crucible 14 can be heated, and the asbestos mesh 13 can avoid directly heating the crucible 14 and ensure that the crucible 14 is heated evenly;
[0019] An electrode device access hole 3 is provided on the other opposite surface of the exterior of the furnace body 1. One end of the electrode sensing device connection wire 10 is led out of or passed through the electrode device access hole 3 around the internal gap between the inner container 17 and the furnace body 1, preventing the wire from being exposed and facilitating power connection.
[0020] The outer end of the connecting shaft 15 is connected to the handle 8, and the inner end of the connecting shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the crucible support 11. The crucible support 11 supports the crucible 14. The lower part of the crucible 14 is provided with a drop opening 16. When the alloy smelting is completed, the staff rotates the handle 8, and the successfully smelted alloy metal liquid will flow into the drop opening 16 below.
[0021] The bottom of the furnace body 1 supports a heat preservation pool 6, and an ingot mold 9 is placed inside the heat preservation pool 6. The smelted metal will fall into the ingot mold 9 through the drop port 16, and is convenient for cooling in the heat preservation pool 6;
[0022] A furnace cover 2 is provided above the furnace body 1. An inspection port 7 is provided on the surface of the furnace cover 2. Double-layer quartz insulating glass is installed at the inspection port 7 to facilitate staff to check the alloy smelting status.
[0023] A through pipe 19 is provided on the surface of the furnace cover 2, a vacuum pressure gauge 5 is arranged at the end of the through pipe 19, and a vacuum device 4 is connected to the middle of the through pipe 19, which facilitates vacuuming of the entire machine and detection of air pressure. Active metals can be controlled in a vacuum environment, thereby ensuring the performance, quality and stability of the smelted alloy.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] The staff places the metal to be smelted in the crucible 14, then closes the furnace cover 2 and energizes the induction coil 12. After power is turned on, the metal in the crucible 14 begins to melt. The induction coil 12 evenly wound on the outside of the crucible 14 can heat the crucible 14 evenly and heat the metal stably. The inner tank 17 can insulate the atmosphere in the furnace and accelerate the smelting. The staff can observe through the inspection port 7. After the alloy smelting is completed, the staff turns the handle 8 to pour the smelted alloy into the blanking port 16. The alloy liquid enters the ingot mold 9 set in the insulation pool 6 through the blanking port 16 and is cooled in the insulation pool 6. After cooling is completed, the staff can take away the smelted alloy. The smelted nickel-based aluminum alloy has good comprehensive mechanical properties compared to nickel metal.
