Crucible furnace fuel and resistance heated

Crucible furnaces are indirectly heated using fuel-fired burners or electrical resistors. For fuel-fired crucibles, the thermal efficiency is not as high as for other melting furnaces, since it is difficult to make use of the heat of the combustion products. They are relatively inexpensive and since the flames are not in contact with the molten metal, metal losses are low and the melt quality is high, and also alloy changes can be readily carried out. [175, Brown, 1999] [Pg.117]

For aluminium alloys the amount of particles can roughly be assumed to be aroimd 0.3 kg/tonne of molten metal. [126, Teknologisk, 2000] [Pg.117]
