Neutral Ramming Mass Material for Induction Furnace

An induction furnace consists of a non-conductive refractory crucible surrounded by a coil of copper tubing. Running a strong alternating current through the coil creates a magnetic field that induces an electric current inside the metal and rapidly melts the charge inside the furnace through the Ohmic effect. The coil is made of hollow copper tubes through which cooling water flows. The water absorbs heat from the bath through the refractory lining and is then recirculated through a heat exchanger. A proper and well-maintained refractory lining is very important for the safe operation of an induction furnace. The physical properties of electric induction require that the neutral lining of the induction furnace be as thin as possible. At the same time, it must be thick enough to adequately protect the coil from metal depletion due to corrosion and mechanical shock. Ensuring that the lining remains within the limits specified by the manufacturer requires careful use of the lining as wel...
