Characteristics and Uses of Copper Melting Furnace

Smelting furnace refers to equipment that melts metal ingots and some waste metals and adds necessary alloy components, and then melts them into the required alloys through slag removal, refining, and other operations. According to different needs, it can be equipped with different furnace bodies to smelt different metals, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, etc. The following is a basic introduction to its smelting furnace, a copper smelting furnace.

What is a copper smelting furnace used for and for?

Copper melting furnace: The main equipment is a smelting furnace and a refining and purification furnace. Generally, medium frequency or high-frequency electric heating methods are used for smelting. Low cost continuous smelting and treatment processes can upgrade low-grade scrap copper and be used for manufacturing recycled ingots for casting, die casting, rolling, and some mechanical parts such as copper. Alloy furnace: The purpose of advanced scrap metal pretreatment technology is to achieve mechanization and automation of scrap metal separation, "Maximize the removal of metallic and non-metallic impurities, and effectively classify and sort the scrap metal according to its alloy composition. This can reduce the difficulty of impurity removal technology and composition adjustment during the smelting process, and comprehensively utilize the alloy composition in scrap copper. Melting and casting homogenization furnace: Control the quality of copper profiles by controlling the alloy composition of copper ingots. Using advanced proportional heating and temperature control system, the temperature difference is small, eliminating the casting adaptability and component segregation of copper bars,", This greatly improves the plasticity and strength of the alloy.

Copper melting furnace

Briefly speaking, the main purpose of the medium frequency high-frequency smelting furnace for copper smelting is to smelt, melt, and purify copper materials such as brass, red copper, and scrap copper

The benefits of copper smelting furnaces?

The main benefits (advantages) of adding copper into the furnace by extrusion into blocks include two points: reducing oxidation and improving smelting efficiency in the furnace chamber. These are the main considerations for refining (especially vacuum refining) processes.

1. Reduce oxidation

Copper (or electrolytic copper) is refined in the furnace and fed in a fast extrusion state to reduce oxidation. The alloy elements (alloys) that need to be added can also be wrapped together and melted synchronously. Avoid adding too much oxidation waste alone.

2. Improve furnace chamber smelting efficiency

The addition of furnace charge in the extrusion block method can provide dense charging and improve smelting efficiency. In particular, vacuum melting can only be used for one-time charging. This question is very important. Thereby improving production efficiency. energy conservation.
