Main equipment components of cold hearth furnace smelting technology

The main equipment components of cold hearth furnace smelting technology include the following key parts:
1. Furnace body
• Structure: The furnace body usually adopts a horizontal cylindrical structure with a water jacket, which can effectively manage heat and provide a stable smelting environment.
• Movable furnace door: The furnace body is equipped with movable furnace doors on both sides for easy loading and unloading.

2. Electron gun system
• Electron gun: The system contains one or more electron guns for generating high-energy electron beams to directly bombard the charge to achieve melting. The design of the electron gun allows for front and rear control to improve smelting efficiency.

3. Cooling bed
• Cooling bed design: The cooling bed is usually equipped with a water-cooled copper crucible, which can maintain a suitable temperature and effectively remove impurities during the smelting process. There are multiple smelting material areas on the cooling bed, which can produce multiple ingots at the same time.

4. Feeding system
• Bulk material feeding device: This device is used to evenly feed solid raw materials into the smelting area to ensure the continuity and stability of the smelting process.

5. Vacuum system
• Vacuum system: By vacuuming, the oxygen content in the furnace atmosphere is reduced, thereby preventing metal oxidation and improving the purity of titanium alloy.

6. Cooling system
• Water cooling system: Provides cooling for the furnace body, cooling bed and electron gun to ensure that the equipment will not overheat during high-temperature smelting.

7. Control system
• Integrated control system: Including programmed control and monitoring functions, it can monitor various parameters in the smelting process in real time and make automatic adjustments.

8. Ingot receiving device
• Ingot receiving device: It is used to receive the molten metal flowing out of the cooling bed and guide it to the crystallizer for solidification.

These devices together constitute the core of the cooling bed furnace smelting technology, ensuring the efficient production and excellent performance of titanium alloys.
