Effects of Parameters on the Stability of Silicon Melt Pool in Cold Crucible Continuous Casting

Abstract:

Effects of parameters on the stability of silicon melt pool in cold crucible continuous casting were discussed. The results indicate that the extinguishing of induction heating is mainly caused by the side wall feeding, low superheat degree and volume of the pool. The hot melt splashes are caused by the higher input power and uncompletely melted silicon of the dome top surface. The pool was shown to be stabilized as the raw materials were fed in the center area of the dome surface, the superheat degree and volume of the pool were properly increased, the pool was controlled in the effective heating range of the coil and the input power was set properly
