Metal and Casting of Ukraine| Summary: | Introduction. One of the ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change is to implement electrometallurgical steelmaking processes, including induction furnace melting. However, the short lifespan of the furnace lining is a significant limitation of this method. Induction steelmaking units are efficient for melting small volumes of high-quality steels, but their linings undergo significant wear due to thermal, mechanical, and corrosive impacts.
Methods. The study includes an analysis of scientific and technical literature on induction furnace linings and practical experience from metallurgical enterprises such as "Zaporizhzhia Foundry and Mechanical Plant" LLC. The methodology involves systematizing methods for extending the lifespan of the furnace lining and monitoring its condition. This includes using high-quality materials, cooling systems, automated temperature control systems, and regular maintenance.
Results. The research found that the lifespan of the furnace lining can be extended by optimizing lining materials, using cooling systems, and implementing automated control systems. Practical examples of using induction furnaces in metallurgical enterprises demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Specifically, the use of graphite coatings and oxide ceramic materials significantly improves the lining's resistance to high temperatures and chemical wear.
Discussion. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization and classification of methods to extend the lifespan of induction furnace linings. The practical significance of the study is in the potential application of the results to predict lining wear and schedule maintenance work. The proposed methods can be used to improve the reliability and efficiency of induction furnaces in high-quality steel production. |
