Effects of Technical Parameters on Initial Silicon Melting in Round Cold Crucible Continuous Casting

Abstract:

The effects of technical parameters on initial silicon melting in cold crucible continuous casting were studied. These parameters include the materials, the shape and the position of the base, the mass of the silicon that set on the top of the base. Through experimental and theoretical analysis, the optimized parameters were finally given: the base graphite with obconical shaped should be put at the level of the second turn of the coil, and the initial silicon with 10g should be put on the base. The mechanism of these parameters affecting on the initial melting are discussed and revealed.
