    Muffle Furnace

    Dr.Samir Sitaram Tambe


    Introduction
    What is a Furnace?

     Equipment to melt metals


    Casting
    Change shape
    Change properties
     Type of fuel important
    Mostly liquid/gaseous fuel or electricity
     Low efficiencies due to
    High operating temperature
    Emission of hot exhaust gases
    Parts

    1. Burners: raise or maintain chamber
    temperature
    2. Chimney: remove combustion gases


    3. Furnace chamber: constructed of
    insulating materials

    4. Hearth: support or carry the steel.
    Consists of refractory materials

    5. Charging & discharging doors for
    loading & unloading stock

    Parts
    Digital muffle fernis
    Electric M.F.
    Barrier Material
    Silica Brick
    >93% SiO2 made from quality rocks
    Iron & steel, glass industry
    Advantages: no softening until
    fusion point is reached; high
    refractoriness; high resistance to
    spalling, flux and slag, volume
    stability
    Low of expension
    Operating cycle
    Heat-up time
    Soaking time Steady temp Graph
    Forging time
     Fueluse: depends on material and
    number of reheats
     Specific fuel consumption depends
    upon the type of material and
    number of ‘reheats’ required
    Type of Furnaces
    1.Forging Furnace

     Used to preheat billets/ingots


     Use open fireplace system with radiation
    heat transmission (Genration of Radiatior).
     Temp 1200-1250 oC
     Operating cycle
     Heat-up time
     Soaking time
     Forging time (adjustment –cooling)
     Fuel use: depends on material and number
    of reheats

    Type of Furnaces
    2.Re-rolling Mill Furnace – Batch type

     Box type furnace


     Used for heating up scrap/ingots/billets
     Manual charge / discharge of batches
     Temp 1200 oC
     Operating cycle: heat-up, re-rolling
     Output 10 - 15 tons/day-?
     Fuel use: 180-280 kg coal/ton material

    Type of Furnaces
    3.Re-rolling Mill Furnace –

    Continuous pusher type


     Not batch, but continuous charge and
    discharge
     Temp 1250 oC
     Operating cycle: heat-up, re-rolling
     Output 20-25 tons/day
     Heat absorption by material is slow,
    steady, uniform

    Refractory walls of a furnace interior
    with burner blocks
    Refractory lining of a furnace arc
    Type of Furnaces
    4.Continuous Reheating Furnaces

     Continuous material flow


     Material temp 900 – 1250 oC
     Door size minimal to avoid air
    infiltration
     Stock kept together and pushed
    Pusher type furnaces
     Stock on moving hearth or structure
    Walking beam, walking hearth,
    continuous recirculating bogie, rotary
    hearth furnaces
    Precousationduring operation

    To avoid electrical shock,


     1. Be installed by a competent, qualified


    electrician who insures compatibility
    among furnace specifications,

     2. Always be disconnected from the


    electrical supply prior to maintenance
    and servicing.
    Cont..

    To avoid personal injury:

    1. Do not stand directly in front of the
     chamber without wearing a heat

    resistant face shield, gloves and apron.
    2. Do not operate or clean furnace without

    proper eye protection.


    3. Do not use in the presence of flammable or

    combustible materials; fire or explosion may


    result.
    Importance over puta
    Cost effective
    Any time operatable
    Can adjust temp.according to
    need
    Minimum heat loss.
