INDUCTION MELTING FURNACE WITH METERED DISCHARGE

摘要

An induction melting furnace (10) comprises a melt chamber (12) for heating a melt either directly by magnetic induction, or indirectly by magnetic induction heating of the melt chamber (12), or a combination of the two, and a meter chamber (14) connected to the melt chamber (12) for providing a metere d discharge of the melt from the furnace (10). A gas (62) can be injected into the furnace to provide a blanket over the surface of the melt in the melt chamber (12) and a pressurized flush of the metered discharge of the melt fr om the meter chamber (14).
