Description
Applications:
- Forged copper tiles are widely used in various metallurgical processes, including electric arc furnaces (EAFs), induction furnaces, and other high-temperature reactor vessels.
- In these applications, the copper tiles serve as the electrical conductors, providing a path for the flow of high-amperage electric current that is used to directly heat and melt the metal charge.
- The use of conductive copper tiles is essential for the efficient operation of electric and induction-based metallurgical furnaces, enabling rapid and uniform heating of the metal charge for effective melting, alloying, and refining.
Performances:
- l The high electrical and thermal conductivity of copper tiles ensures efficient transfer of electrical energy to the metal charge, maximizing the energy input and improving the overall process efficiency.
- l Careful design of the copper tile geometry, thickness, and arrangement within the furnace helps to optimize the current distribution and heat transfer, leading to more uniform heating and melting of the metal.
- l The excellent corrosion and erosion resistance of copper tiles, even in the harsh high-temperature and chemically-reactive environments of metallurgical processes, contributes to their reliable and long-lasting performance.
