Risks and avoidance measures of induction melting furnace foundry

As long as you look at the record of the induction melting furnace in the foundry, you can find that almost every accident and injury occurred in every accident can be avoided as long as basic safety precautions can be taken. Safety precautions specified in most melting shops, such as wearing eye protection and wearing fire-resistant overalls, are simple common sense requirements. Other safety measures, such as knowing how to handle bridging emergencies, require knowledge of the smelting process.

Understand and deal with the daily hazards that appear in each foundry and the many critical situations you may encounter in the future.

The accident investigation report indicates that most of the foundry accidents occurred due to one of the following:

Inductive melting furnaces are smelted with wet or wet metal, causing water/metal explosions.

The operator's temperature control, sampling or the addition of alloying compounds is poorly done, resulting in metal splashing.

The molten material falls into the bulk charge, causing the metal to splash.

Improper loading leads to bridging.

Not standing behind the safety line, causing it to be caught.

Contact with an electrical conductor, an overload safety interlock switch, or with a capacitor that is not fully discharged, resulting in electric shock and electrical lethality.

Highlight what you can do to protect yourself and your colleagues from these and other dangers.

Burners and induction induction melting furnaces generate heat in a completely different way.

In a combustion furnace, heat is generated by burning a fuel such as coke fuel or natural gas. Burning the fuel causes the internal temperature of the furnace to be higher than the melting point of the charge contained in the furnace. This heats the surface of the charge and melts the charge.

Induction melting furnaces generate heat very cleanly without burning. The alternating current from the inductive power source enters the induction melting furnace and is passed to a coil made of a hollow copper tube, which forms an electromagnetic field that is coupled through the refractory material to the electrically conductive metal charge in the furnace. This induces a current that flows into the metal charge itself, generating heat that causes the metal to melt quickly. Inductive, you heat the charge directly instead of directly heating the furnace (although the surface of the furnace may become hot enough, there is a risk of burns)
