What is Reliable Brother AOD Refining Furnace(Argon Oxygen Decarburization Furnace)
At present, AOD refining furnace (full name argon oxygen decarburisation refining furnace) is one of the advanced metallurgical equipments for the production of ultra-low carbon and high-quality pure cast steel parts, and it is the preferred steel refining equipment for steel casting workshop.AOD refining equipment has the advantages of low investment, high productivity, wide range of raw material adaptability, accurate composition control, high purity of molten steel, and low gas content, etc. The products produced have excellent casting and welding performance, and greatly reduce the cost of subsequent grinding and welding, and increase the added value of the products. The products produced have excellent casting and welding performance, which greatly reduces the cost of subsequent grinding and welding and improves the added value of the products.
Applicable to AOD refining system for foundry workshop, foundry enterprises to improve the quality of castings, first of all, to improve the quality of steel. Researching pure cast steel and steel-refining metallurgical processes, Reliable Brother provides enterprises with a full set of AOD steel-refining technology services and long-term technical support.
Steel grades for casting AOD refining system (Argon Oxygen Decarburisation refining system)
- Ultra-low carbon stainless steel (carbon (C < 0.01%), sulphur (S < 0.003%) austenitic, martensitic, duplex steels, etc., with a chromium recovery rate of 98% or more)
- Tool & Die Steel
- Steel for pumps and valves
- Nickel-based high-temperature alloys (Monel)
- Marine and military alloy steels
- Low-alloy high-strength wear-resistant steel (first developed and applied to actual production, with current performance test data reaching the world’s advanced level)
- Carbon steel, manganese steel
Application Scenario Example of Reliable Brother AOD Refining Furnace in Metal Smelting
The steel produced by the AOD refining furnace has high purity and low gas content, and the steel and castings produced therefrom have excellent casting performance and good welding performance. It is the preferred refining equipment for small and medium-sized steel casting enterprises.
