[0004] 2. Severe impurity residue: The raw materials are often mixed with metal fragments (such as Fe particles) or non-metallic inclusions. The screening and iron removal capabilities of existing equipment are limited, and impurities are easily left in the mixture, becoming active sites for corroding micro batteries.

The weighing platform 2 has a built-in high-precision pressure sensor and communicates with a PLC through an RS485 interface to transmit material weight data in real time.

[0022] In this embodiment, a twin-screw conveyor 3 is linked with a weighing platform 2 to provide real-time feedback of material weight to the PLC control cabinet 14, dynamically adjusting the conveying speed to reduce the proportioning error of key elements such as Cr and Ni. The feeding pipe 11 and the distributing pipe 13 are designed to support multiple batches of micro-additions, avoiding composition fluctuations caused by single-batch feeding.

[0023] Example 2, refer to Figures 2-3 A material proportioning device for the production of austenitic stainless steel with resistance to intergranular corrosion, wherein the storage silo 4 includes a top tank 41 and a bottom hopper 42, wherein the top tank 41 and the bottom hopper 42 are fixedly connected by a flange, a screen 7 is installed on the inner wall of the top tank 41, and a connecting plate 8 is welded on the inner wall of the bottom hopper 42, and an electromagnetic iron separator 9 is installed on the top outer wall of the connecting plate 8.

[0024] In this embodiment, the screen 7 can intercept large particles of impurities, and the electromagnetic separator 9 uses a strong magnetic field to adsorb metal debris, thus improving the impurity removal rate. Furthermore, the separate design of the top tank 41 and the bottom hopper 42 facilitates regular cleaning of the screen 7 and the electromagnetic separator 9, making maintenance convenient and not affecting continuous production.

The screened material enters the bottom hopper 42. The electromagnetic iron separator 9 is energized to generate a strong magnetic field, which adsorbs metal fragments such as Fe and Mn. The purified raw material falls into the twin-screw conveyor 3.

[0030] Precision conveying and metering stage: The twin-screw conveyor 3 adjusts its speed according to PLC instructions to convey the material to the weighing platform 2; the weighing data is fed back in real time, and the PLC dynamically corrects the conveying volume to the target value.
