MANUFACTURING PROCESS - REVERBERATORY FURNACE


REVERBERATORY FURNACE

A FURNACE OR KILN IN WHICH THE MATERIAL UNDER TREATMENT IS HEATED INDIRECTLY BY MEANS OF A FLAME DEFLECTED DOWNWARD FROM THE ROOF. REVERBERATORY FURNACES ARE USED IN OPPER, TIN, AND NICKEL PRODUCTION, IN THE PRODUCTION OF CERTAIN CONCRETES AND CEMENTS, AND IN ALUMINUM. REVERBERATORY FURNACES HEAT THE METAL TO MELTING TEMPERATURES WITH DIRECT FIRED WALL-MOUNTED BURNERS. THE PRIMARY MODE OF HEAT TRANSFER IS THROUGH RADIATION FROM THE REFRACTORY BRICK WALLS TO THE METAL, BUT CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER ALSO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HEATING FROM THE BURNER TO THE METAL. THE ADVANTAGES PROVIDED BY REVERBERATORY MELTERS IS THE HIGH VOLUME PROCESSING RATE, AND LOW OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE REVERBERATORY MELTERS ARE THE HIGH METAL OXIDATION RATES, LOW EFFICIENCIES, AND LARGE FLOOR SPACE REQUIREMENTS.  



INDUCTION HEATING IS A HEATING METHOD. THE HEATING BY THE INDUCTION METHOD OCCURS WHEN AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL IS PLACED IN A VARYING MAGNETIC FIELD. INDUCTION HEATING IS A RAPID FORM OF HEATING IN WHICH A CURRENT IS INDUCED DIRECTLY INTO THE PART BEING HEATED. INDUCTION HEATING IS A NON-CONTACT FORM OF HEATING. 

THE HEATING SYSTEM IN AN INDUCTION FURNACE INCLUDES:
  1. INDUCTION HEATING POWER SUPPLY,
  2. INDUCTION HEATING COIL,
  3. WATER-COOLING SOURCE, WHICH COOLS THE COIL AND SEVERAL INTERNAL COMPONENTS INSIDE THE POWER SUPPLY.
THE INDUCTION HEATING POWER SUPPLY SENDS ALTERNATING CURRENT THROUGH THE INDUCTION COIL, WHICH GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD.  INDUCTION FURNACES WORK ON THE PRINCIPLE OF A TRANSFORMER. AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD INDUCES EDDY CURRENTS IN THE METAL WHICH CONVERTS THE ELECTRIC ENERGY TO HEAT WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE INDUCTION COIL AND THE WORK PIECE.   THE FURNACE CONTAINS A CRUCIBLE SURROUNDED BY A WATER COOLED COPPER COIL. THE COIL IS CALLED PRIMARY COIL TO WHICH A HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENT IS SUPPLIED. BY INDUCTION SECONDARY CURRENTS, CALLED EDDY CURRENTS ARE PRODUCED IN THE CRUCIBLE. HIGH TEMPERATURE CAN BE OBTAINED BY THIS METHOD. INDUCTION FURNACES ARE OF TWO TYPES: CORED FURNACE AND CORELESS FURNACE. CORED FURNACES ARE USED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AS HOLDING FURNACES. IN CORED FURNACE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD HEATS THE METAL BETWEEN TWO COILS. CORELESS FURNACES HEAT THE METAL VIA AN EXTERNAL PRIMARY COIL. 


ADVANTAGES OF INDUCTION FURNACE
  • INDUCTION HEATING IS A CLEAN FORM OF HEATING
  • HIGH RATE OF MELTING OR HIGH MELTING EFFICIENCY
  • ALLOYED STEELS CAN BE MELTED WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS
  • CONTROLLABLE AND LOCALIZED HEATING
DISADVANTAGES OF INDUCTION FURNACE
  • HIGH CAPITAL COST OF THE EQUIPMENT
  • HIGH OPERATING COST

    Use of electric furnace is the preferred method of heating, since it runs more clean gas than oil or gas heating devices. You can visit this pages for more info.

    Reverberatory Furnace is not another sensation. Its first known requisition was recorded in 1672.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS - DRAFT OR TAPER ALLOWANCE

DRAFT OR TAPER ALLOWANCE BY DRAFT IS MEANT THE TAPER PROVIDED BY THE PATTERN MAKER ON ALL VERTICAL SURFACES OF THE PATTERN SO THAT IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE SAND WITHOUT TEARING AWAY THE SIDES OF THE SAND MOLD AND WITHOUT EXCESSIVE RAPPING BY THE MOLDER. FIGURE  SHOWS A PATTERN HAVING NO DRAFT ALLOWANCE BEING REMOVED FROM THE PATTERN. IN THIS CASE, TILL THE PATTERN IS COMPLETELY LIFTED OUT, ITS SIDES WILL REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH THE WALLS OF THE MOLD, THUS TENDING TO BREAK IT.  FIGURE  IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF A PATTERN HAVING PROPER DRAFT ALLOWANCE. HERE, THE MOMENT THE PATTERN LIFTING COMMENCES, ALL OF ITS SURFACES ARE WELL AWAY FROM THE SAND SURFACE. THUS THE PATTERN CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE MOLD CAVITY.  PATTERN HAVING DRAFT ON VERTICAL EDGES DRAFT ALLOWANCE VARIES WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SAND JOB. BUT IN GENERAL INNER DETAILS OF THE PATTERN REQUIRE HIGHER DRAFT THAN OUTER SURFACES. THE AMOUNT OF DRAFT DEPENDS UPON THE LENGTH OF THE...

ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING (ECM)

ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING (ECM) INTRODUCTION:- Electro chemical machining (ECM) is a method of removing metal by an electrochemical process. It is normally used for mass production and is used for working extremely hard materials or materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods. Its use is limited to electrically conductive materials; however, this includes all metals. ECM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities in extremely hard steel and exotic metals such as titanium, carbide etc. ECM is often characterized as "reverse electroplating," and is similar in concept to electrical discharge machining in that a high current is passed between an electrode and the part, through an electrolyte material removal process having a negatively charged electrode (cathode), a conductive fluid (electrolyte), and a conductive work piece (anode); however, in ECM there is no tool wear. The ECM cutting tool is guided along the desired ...
