Melting technology

This course provides a simple and practical understanding of melting technology used in the foundry and metal industry. Participants learn the basic principles of melting different metals and alloys. The course explains how raw materials are selected, prepared, and charged into melting furnaces. It covers common melting furnaces such as induction, cupola, electric arc, and other industrial furnaces. Participants understand the importance of temperature control during the melting process. The course also explains how chemical composition and alloying elements are controlled to achieve the required metal quality. Safety practices for furnace operation, handling molten metal, and preventing accidents are discussed. Participants learn about common melting problems such as overheating, oxidation, slag formation, and contamination. The course also introduces methods for checking and improving the quality of molten metal before pouring. Overall, the course helps participants develop practical knowledge for safe, efficient, and quality-focused melting operations.
