Melting Processes Cupola and Electric Furnace

Cupola  Cupola furnaces are tall, cylindrical furnaces used to melt iron and ferrous alloys in foundry operations. Alternating layers of metal and ferrous alloys, coke, and limestone are fed into the furnace from the top. A schematic diagram of a cupola is shown in Figure. This diagram of a cupola illustrates the furnace's cylindrical shaft lined with refractory and the alternating layers of coke and metal scrap. The molten metal flows out of a spout at the bottom of the cupola..

Description of Cupola 1.The cupola consists of a vertical cylindrical steel sheet and lined inside with acid refractory bricks. 2.The lining is generally thicker in the lower portion of the cupola as the temperature are higher than in upper portion. 3.There is a charging door through which coke, pig iron, steel scrap and flux is charged. 4.The blast is blown through the tuyeres. 5.These tuyeres are arranged in one or more row around the periphery of cupola. 6.Hot gases which ascends from the bottom (combustion zone) preheats the iron in the preheating zone. 7.Cupolas are provided with a drop bottom door through which debris, consisting of coke, slag etc. can be discharged at the end of the melt. 8.A slag hole is provided to remove the slag from the melt. 9.Through the tap hole molten metal is poured into the ladle. 10.At the top conical cap called the spark arrest is provided to prevent the spark emerging to outside

Operation of Cupola  The cupola is charged with wood at the bottom. On the top of the wood a bed of coke is built. Alternating layers of metal and ferrous alloys, coke, and limestone are fed into the furnace from the top. The purpose of adding flux is to eliminate the impurities and to protect the metal from oxidation. Air blast is opened for the complete combustion of coke. When sufficient metal has been melted that slag hole is first opened to remove the slag. Tap hole is then opened to collect the metal in the ladle.
