Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cold-melting crucible with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cold melting crucibles are used to produce very pure metal samples and are used in particular as melting furnaces for growing single crystals.
  • the low contamination of metals melted in cold-melting crucibles is due to the fact that, as a result of strong cooling of the crucible wall and by generating a magnetic field by means of high-frequency induction coils, the metal body, which was initially solid and then melted, is kept freely suspended in a stable position in the melting chamber (see DE -PS 5 18 499; laboratory Methods, 1963, pages 301 ff., Metals Research-Advance Information, HCC 50 Gold Crucible)
  • the aim is to divide the crucible wall into as many segments as possible.
  • a cold-melting crucible of this type is known from DE-OS 21 00 378.
  • the manufacturing process for this crucible is very complex since the crucible is made from a solid material by drilling and cutting the slots, usually by means of spark erosion.
  • a cold-melting crucible of the type mentioned is also known from DE-PS 27 17 459.
  • the production method for this crucible is that it is made of circular metal disks with radial slots is assembled, the metal disks being soldered to one another and to a base plate for the cold-melting crucible. This method of production is also relatively complex.
  • the upper part which contains the crucible trough, is easy to repair and also advantageous in terms of operation compared to the known crucibles:
  • the individual wall segments are produced from a solid material by means of quick and simple working processes, such as milling.
  • a larger starting workpiece for example a cylindrical solid material with a larger diameter, is assumed.
  • other manufacturing processes such as casting processes, can also be used.
  • the individual wall segments are connected by soldering to the discharge pipes for the coolant that protrude from the base part. Any necessary adjustment is easily possible by bending the cooling lines.
  • connection between the individual wall segment and the cooling line is expediently made by soft soldering. As a result, a single wall segment can be easily removed for repairing the crucible.
  • the compact design of the upper part surrounding the crucible trough enables a more effective coupling to the HF magnetic field than is the case with crucibles of the known design is the case.
  • the magnetic field can be concentrated on the upper part, which leads to an energy gain of up to 30%.
  • the inventive design of the cooling line system provides free access from below to the melt.
  • rods can be pulled by means of a lifting device attached below the crucible without the melt comes into contact with a mold: the tip of a rod-shaped workpiece made of a material that does not melt at the temperature of the ball, e.g. B. ceramic or from the metal of the molten ball until it comes into contact with the molten metal, so that the metal of the ball connects to the tip of the rod.
  • the rod-shaped workpiece is then slowly pulled downwards by means of the lifting device, the metal of the ball drawn downwards solidifying and in this way a rod can be formed from the metal of the ball.
  • crack-free rods can be made from materials which, if they were to solidify in a mold, would become brittle and form cracks in the mold as a result of the quenching process.
  • the cold-melting crucible has an upper part, which consists of a multiplicity of wall segments 1, and a base part 2, which terminates at the bottom with a flange 3 and the inlets and outlets for the coolant contains.
  • the base partly also has a further flange 4 for receiving the pressure vessel enclosing the crucible - which is not shown in the drawing.
  • the wall segments which are separated from each other by a maximum gap of 0.5 mm, are shaped in such a way that the melting space is optimally adapted to the melting conditions.
  • Cooling channels 7 run in the segments, which are guided along the inner surface of the melting chamber in such a way that sufficient cooling of the crucible-shaped crucible wall on the bottom is achieved.
  • the supply pipes 8, which start from the base part 2 and are connected to the supply line 8 'opening above the flange 3' for the coolant, serve to supply the coolant.
  • the mechanical connection between the upper part consisting of the wall segments 1 and the base part 2 is formed by the discharge pipes 9 and 9a. These are hard-soldered to the base part, but soft-soldered to the respective wall segment, so that the connection can be easily released in the event of a repair.
  • the discharge pipes 9 open into the connection 9 'above the flange 3. They are formed in the base part 2 as well as the coolant supply as a ring line and enclose a central opening 10th
