Abstract
A method for producing an improved charging stock for use in further metallurgical processes including the steps of providing a source of molten metal of known composition, providing a source of solid particulate material of a known composition which is compatible with the molten metal, combining the molten metal source with the solid particulate material source to produce a combined stream and forming the combined stream into a plurality of uniformly sized metal billets for use in further metallurgical processes.
Claims16
A method for producing an improved charging stock for use in further metallurgical processes comprising the steps of:
- providing a source of molten metal of known composition;
- providing a source of solid particulate material of a known composition which is compatible with said molten metal;
- combining said molten metal source with said solid particulate material source to produce a combined material stream;
- shaping said combined material stream with a moving shaping means for forming a continuous cast;
- and separating said continuous cast into a plurality of uniformly sized metal billets for use in further metallurgical processes.
