Process And Apparatus For Minimizing The Potential For Explosions In The Direct Chill Casting Aluminum Alloys
view source
US Patent:

20180093323, Apr 5, 2018
Filed:

Dec 5, 2017
Appl. No.:

15/832382
Inventors:

- Buena Park CA, US
Rodney W. Wirtz - Lake Forest CA, US
Ronald M. Streigle - Anaheim CA, US
International Classification:

B22D 27/04
B22D 11/049
B22D 11/14
B22D 46/00
B22D 30/00
B22D 11/00
B22D 27/00
B22D 11/18
B22D 11/16
B22D 7/00
C22C 21/00
Abstract:

Steam exhaust ports are located around a perimeter of a direct chill casting pit, at various locations from below the top of the pit to the pit bottom to rapidly remove steam from the casting pit with addition of dry excess air. Gas introduction ports are also located around a perimeter of the casting pit and configured to introduce an inert gas into the casting pit interior.

US Patent:

20170209919, Jul 27, 2017
Filed:

Apr 5, 2017
Appl. No.:

15/479996
Inventors:

- Buena Park CA, US
Rodney W. Wirtz - Lake Forest CA, US
Ronald M. Streigle - Anaheim CA, US
International Classification:

B22D 11/22
B22D 11/049
C22C 21/00
B22D 11/124
B22D 11/14
B22D 11/00
B22D 11/055
Abstract:

An apparatus and a system including a casting pit; a mold including a reservoir and a cavity; a coolant feed operable to introduce a coolant to a periphery of a metal emerging from the mold cavity; an array of water vapor exhaust ports about at least the top periphery of the casting pit; a mechanism to introduce an inert fluid into the coolant feed. A method for a direct chill casting including, after detecting a bleed out, exhausting generated gas from the casting pit at a flow volume rate that is enhanced relative to a flow volume rate prior to detecting bleed out or run out; introducing an inert gas into the casting pit; and introducing an inert fluid into a coolant feed to the casting mold.
