A cooling device for high-purity aluminum ingot production Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-purity aluminum production technology, and in particular to a cooling device for high-purity aluminum ingot production. Background Technology
[0002] The raw material used in our daily industry is called aluminum ingot, which, according to the national standard (GB / T1196-2008), should be called "aluminum ingot for remelting." It is produced by electrolysis using alumina-cryolite. After entering industrial applications, aluminum ingots fall into two main categories: cast aluminum alloys and wrought aluminum alloys. Cast aluminum and aluminum alloys are aluminum castings produced by casting methods; wrought aluminum and aluminum alloys are aluminum processed products produced by pressure processing methods: plates, strips, foils, tubes, bars, profiles, wires, and forgings. Aluminum ingots are classified into three types according to their composition: remelting aluminum ingots, high-purity aluminum ingots, and aluminum alloy ingots; and according to their shape and size, they can be divided into several types, such as bar ingots, round ingots, plate ingots, and T-shaped ingots.
[0003] The aluminum ingot casting process involves pouring molten aluminum into a mold, which is then cooled to form a billet before being removed. The pouring process is a crucial step in determining the quality of the product. The casting process is essentially the physical process of liquid aluminum crystallizing into solid aluminum; however, how to quickly and effectively cool the freshly processed aluminum ingot is a problem that needs to be solved.
