Abstract
A device and a method for treating metallic material. In particular, the invention is suitable for treating and/or producing steel and metallic alloys, in particular non-standard grade steels and alloys of particularly high quality. The invention has proved to be particularly successful in the treatment of iron-based metallic materials.
Claims19
A device for treating metallic material, comprising:
- a mobile melting vessel and at least one treatment station, wherein
- the mobile melting vessel comprises a crucible, a heating induction facility with a coil and a housing,
- the treatment station comprises a cover which is suitable for gas-tightly closing the crucible, and
- the mobile melting vessel can be separated from the treatment station and can be moved in a ridable manner independently from the treatment station, wherein
- the device comprises a quick-coupling system so that supply lines of the treatment station can be connected to the mobile melting vessel for cooling the heating induction facility and/or for supplying it with electricity,
- a transport facility is provided which is suitable for moving the melting vessel out of the area of the treatment station, and
- means at or in the transport facility and/or the mobile melting vessel are provided for cooling the heating induction facility during the movement of the melting vessel and/or for supplying it with electricity.
