The heat losses by conduction, convection and radiation from outer and bottom surfaces, top and electrodes of LF were determined in detail. Finally, some suggestions about decreasing heat losses were presented.展开更多

The rational parameters of argon stirring were determined as the optimized positions of nozzles, top area of the porous brick, and gas flow rate. The following results are obtained： 1） the optimized positions of two nozzles are at 0.333R （R refers to the radius of the ladle at bottom） with an angle of 135°; 2） the top diameter of the porous brick should be 130 mm; 3） the flow rate of gas should be 25.0-30.6 m^3/h. The plant trial shows that the improved process is effective in enhancing the cleanliness of round billets. The total oxygen content, microinclusions, and macroinclusions in round billets are reduced by 12.5%, 8.2%, and 20%, respectively.展开更多

The optimization of the ILF by outward extension of inner yokes can decrease the magnitic flux leakage obviously, reduce the eddy current energy loss dramatically and then, decrease the total power consumption.展开更多
