Four-Electrode DC Plasma Smelting Furnace

Equipment & Technical Specification Introduction

1. Equipment Overview & Working Principle

The four-electrode DC plasma smelting furnace is a high-temperature metallurgical unit equipped with four symmetrically arranged DC plasma torches/graphite electrodes and DC rectifier power supply plus plasma gas supply system. It generates high-temperature plasma arc at 5,000~8,000℃ by ionizing inert gas (argon/nitrogen) under direct current. Adopting DC transferred arc smelting process, a water-cooled anode is embedded at furnace bottom to form a complete conductive loop. Four electrodes are arranged symmetrically in a rectangular layout to realize uniform heating across the molten bath, which differentiates it from single-electrode furnaces and three-phase AC arc furnaces. It is specially designed for refractory metals, ferroalloys, solid waste recycling (red mud/aluminum residue), and precious metal recovery.

Process Flow: Mains AC → step-down transformation → rectified into DC → four cathode electrodes powered up + process gas fed → high-frequency ignition to form non-transferred pilot arc → transferred main arc ignited between cathode and bottom anode → raw materials melted by ultra-high plasma temperature; sealed furnace enables smelting under inert atmosphere with precise oxygen control.

2. Five Core Assemblies of Furnace Structure

(1) Furnace Body Assembly

Furnace Shell: Steel plate welded structure with water-cooled jacket, fully sealed negative-pressure design, fitted with flue gas hood for exhaust collection.
Furnace Lining: Magnesia-carbon brick/corundum castable for high-temperature zone; erosion-resistant precast refractory bricks at slag line; water-cooled copper crucible equipped for lab/pilot-scale furnaces while fixed refractory hearth for large industrial units.
Furnace Bottom: Embedded water-cooled metal anode (positive pole of DC circuit); optional electromagnetic stirring coil to homogenize bath temperature and chemical composition.

(2) Core Four-Electrode Plasma System

Four plasma torches/graphite electrodes mounted at four rectangular corners with independent servo lifting mechanism, hydraulic fine adjustment and automatic current/voltage stabilization.

Standard Plasma Torch: Water-cooled cerium-tungsten cathode + water-cooled copper compression nozzle with full jacket circulating cooling.
Two electrode options: ① Plasma torch for high-purity special metallurgy; ② Impregnated graphite electrode for ore reduction smelting. Four independent power circuits allow continuous low-load operation of remaining three electrodes when single unit under maintenance.

(3) DC Rectifier Power Supply System

High-voltage distribution → step-down transformer → high-power SCR rectifier cabinet with four independent DC current-stabilized power sources. Separate power loop for each electrode to suppress arc fluctuation and improve thermal efficiency at 78%~82%.

(4) Process Gas Supply System

Multi-channel precision pressure-stabilized gas supply for high-purity argon, nitrogen and hydrogen mixture. Process gas injected through center of plasma torches; furnace chamber adjustable between vacuum and slight positive pressure to realize oxygen-free smelting. Complete with mass flow meters, pressure regulators and emergency cut-off valves.

(5) Automation & Auxiliary System

PLC full-process automatic control for electrode lifting, power regulation, gas supply, cooling water interlock and real-time temperature monitoring; matched circulating cooling water station, flue gas dedusting system, sealed feeding unit and tapping/slagging mechanism.

3. Key Equipment Advantages

Symmetric four-electrode layout ensures even bath temperature with fluctuation ≤±50℃ and minimal component segregation, ideal for high-purity alloy & single crystal production.
Ultra-high plasma arc temperature (5,000~8,000℃ vs. max 3,000℃ of conventional AC arc), boosting melting efficiency by over 40% for refractory oxide such as alumina and red mud.
Stable DC current reduces electrode consumption by 35%~50% compared with three-phase AC furnaces to cut running cost.
Flexible atmosphere control: vacuum/inert/reducing atmosphere available via sealed furnace to avoid metal oxidation; precious metal recovery rate ≥92%.
High operational tolerance: independent four-circuit power design avoids full-line shutdown for single-electrode overhaul.

4. Main Application Fields

Special Metallurgy: Melting of Ti, Zr, W, Mo, Nb and other refractory metals, superalloy & high-entropy alloy for aerospace industry.
Solid Waste Resource Utilization: Red mud ironmaking, calcium aluminate smelting, silicon/ferrous metal recovery from steel slag/fly ash and hazardous waste vitrification treatment.
Ferroalloy Production: Metallic silicon, ferrosilicon, ferrochrome and ferronickel reduction.
Advanced New Materials: High-purity ceramic powder, nitride/oxide raw material synthesis.
