A new laboratory melting furnace has been put into operation at the St. Petersburg Precision Alloy Plant — specialized equipment designed for scientific research and experiments in the field of metallurgy. The main function of the furnace is to melt metals and alloys, which opens up new opportunities for research and production processes at the enterprise.
Research and development
Using a laboratory melting furnace in research works It has many advantages:
- Accuracy and temperature control. Modern laboratory ovens make it possible to precisely control the heating temperature, which is important for many scientific and industrial processes. This makes it possible to obtain more accurate results of experiments and analyses, in particular when developing new grades of steels and alloys.
- Safety. Laboratory melting furnaces are equipped with modern safety systems, such as protection against overheating and automatic shutdown when the door is opened. This significantly reduces the risk of fires and other emergencies, ensuring the safety of research processes.
- Effectiveness. Laboratory ovens ensure rapid and uniform heating of materials, which speeds up the research process and saves time. This allows you to carry out faster tests and analyses, improving overall research productivity.
- Wide temperature range. The ability to heat to high temperatures makes it possible to work with a wide variety of materials for a wide range of experiments. This opens up new horizons for research and development of innovative steels and alloys.
- Cost-effectiveness. Laboratory ovens save money due to accurate and reproducible results. This reduces the need for repeated experiments and reduces material costs, making research processes more economical.
Thus, the laboratory melting furnace is becoming an important tool not only for scientific research, but also to improve production processes, which require precise temperature control and a minimum amount of raw materials.
Smelting of enterprise standard samples (SOP)
An important step in developing the production of new grades of steels and alloys is the smelting of control samples for X-ray spectral analysis. This process involves several key steps:
- Material preparation. Before smelting the material from which the control samples will be made must be carefully prepared: be homogeneous and free of impurities that may distort the analysis results.
- Melting the material. The prepared material is placed in a crucible of a laboratory melting furnace and heated to a temperature sufficient to melt it.
- Cooling and solidification. After melting, the material should cool down and harden. The cooling process can take place naturally or using specialized methods.
- Sample analysis. The control sample is chemically analyzed to determine its exact chemical composition.
- Interpretation of results and further use. results analysis are interpreted taking into account the requirements for accuracy and precision. Based on the data obtained, a decision is made on the further use of the control sample in production processes.
Smelting our own control samples at PZPS makes the process of developing new grades of steels and alloys faster and more efficient, which is a significant advantage for the company.
New steels and alloys already developed at PZPS
The launch of a laboratory melting furnace will allow the PZPS to accelerate the development of technologies for the production of new materials. Recently, the following grades of steels and alloys have been developed:
The launch of a laboratory melting furnace at the PZPS not only expands opportunities for scientific research, but also strengthens the company's position in production high-quality steels and alloysthat meet modern requirements and standards.
