Electrical Induction Heating and Melting Furnace Refractory Life Cycle Wear Imaging and Processing

摘要

By periodically accumulating laser imaging data of the inner surface of the refractory material over the life cycle of the refractory material while the furnace is used in a foundry environment, and processing the accumulated imaging data for comparative analysis with previous laser imaging data of the inner surface of the refractory material, An apparatus and method are provided for life cycle wear monitoring of consumable refractories in an electric induction furnace used to heat and melt materials.
