An apparatus and method for determining the percentage of carbon equivalent, carbon and silicon in liquid ferrous metal

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for determining the percentage of Carbon Equivalent, Carbon and Silicon in liquid ferrous metal. The apparatus comprises of refractory cup structure having a cavity, thermocouple wire, quartz tube, base, tellurium, holder, compensating cable, electronic device. The method comprises steps of pouring of sample in a refractory cup, recording maximum temperature of the sample and allowing it to cool to solidification temperature, determination of liquidus temperature, this temperature being inversely proportional gives percentage of carbon equivalent using an algorithm, determination of solidus temperature using an algorithm, and the determination of percentage of carbon and silicon using electronic device based on an algorithm. The present invention relates to the detection of the composition of liquid ferrous metal in a much quicker time using a refractory cup.
