Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Vacuum melting of magnesium alloys can reduce the content of gases and impurities in magnesium alloys, thereby improving the purity and quality of the alloy. However, it is difficult to achieve vacuum melting of magnesium alloys using traditional manual processes.
[0003] Existing smelting equipment involves placing magnesium alloy raw materials into a vacuum smelting apparatus, then evacuating to the required vacuum level. The magnesium alloy is then heated above its melting point using heating elements to melt it. During the smelting process, stirring or other methods can be used to promote uniform mixing of the magnesium alloy. After smelting, the molten magnesium alloy is cooled and solidified to obtain the desired magnesium alloy material.
[0004] However, existing smelting equipment has certain safety hazards in actual operation. High-temperature molten magnesium or gas can easily enter the pump unit, causing damage. This not only reduces smelting efficiency but also increases operational risks. Furthermore, the vacuum level in existing equipment is unstable, leading to the introduction of gases and impurities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a protective device for vacuum smelting of magnesium alloys that can effectively protect the pump unit and prevent the entry of high-temperature molten magnesium or gas, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the smelting process.
