PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING METAL PRODUCTS

摘要

A process for manufacturing a metal product comprising the steps of supplying a material from pressure hopper means made to have an inert gas atmosphere to each of a plurality of melting furnaces one after another in a predetermined amount each time, replacing the interior atmosphere of each melting furnace by an inert gas, thereafter melting the material in the melting furnace by heating, supplying the resulting molten metal from one of the melting furnaces after another to a discharge container having a discharge nozzle and made to have an inert gas atmosphere, and continuously discharging the molten metal from the discharge nozzle against a rapid quenching device. This process permits continuous discharge of the molten metal from the discharge container, giving a product of improved quality in a higher yield with an increased efficiency.
