2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a furnace for supplying a high-frequency or medium-frequency current to a coil disposed on the outer periphery of a water-cooled crucible made of metal such as copper to melt the metal to be melted contained in the crucible by induction heating;
That is, the induction heating type water-cooled crucible furnace has a structure as shown in FIG. In this induction-heated water-cooled crucible furnace, the melted metal does not contact the inner wall of the crucible, but only in the lower part,
Since a solidified portion (skull portion) is formed only at the so-called cooled bottom portion, contamination of the material to be melted from the crucible can be prevented as much as possible, so that it is used for melting high-purity metal. It is also called "skull furnace" because of the formation of the skull.

A water cooling pipe 30 is provided inside each segment 29, and cools the side wall 22 and the bottom wall 23 of the crucible through a pipe 31 of the crucible bottom 24. The to-be-dissolved metal 32 introduced into the crucible is melted by being exposed to an alternating magnetic field due to a high-frequency or medium-frequency current applied to the coil 25. In this case, due to the field balance between the electromagnetic force acting on the surface of the molten metal and the static pressure of the molten metal, the upper part of the crucible is separated from the molten metal 32 from the side wall of the crucible as shown in FIG. Partially solidified only below the wall contacting 33
Take the structure to do. That is, the metal is melted into an egg shape. This is a major feature of the induction heating water-cooled crucible furnace. Most of the melting metal does not come into contact with the side wall of the crucible, and even when it does, the solidified shell (skull) 33 of the melting metal can prevent contaminants from entering the inside from the side wall 22 of the crucible. Therefore, melting and casting of a high-purity metal is possible.

A water cooling tube 10 is provided inside each segment,
The side wall 2 and the bottom wall 3 of the crucible 1 are cooled through the pipe 11 of the crucible bottom 4. In such an induction heating type water-cooled crucible furnace 1, the present invention is characterized in that a carbon cylinder 12 is provided on the inner wall surface of the crucible 1. The carbon cylinder 12 is exposed to an alternating magnetic field by a high-frequency or medium-frequency current applied to the coil 5 and is heated to a high temperature, and the metal 13 introduced into the crucible 1 is easily melted by this heat. This dissolvable metal can be dissolved regardless of the level of electrical conductivity or thermal conductivity.

However, since the molten metal 13 existing in the carbon cylinder 12 is exposed to an alternating magnetic field due to a high-frequency or medium-frequency current around it, a part of the molten metal 13 comes into contact with the carbon via a water-cooled crucible. Solidifies, but hardly contacts its surroundings. Due to the field balance between the electromagnetic force acting on the surface of the molten metal and the static pressure of the molten metal, the inner wall of the carbon cylinder 12 and the molten metal 13 are separated above the crucible 1 as shown in FIG. For example, it has a structure that is partially solidified only below the metal bottom wall 2 made of copper or the like. That is, the metal is similarly melted into an egg shape.

Most of the metal 13 to be melted does not come into contact with the cylindrical body 12 made of carbon, and even when it is in contact therewith, the solidified shell (skull) 14 of the metal to be melted causes the metal 13 to be removed from the cylindrical body 12 made of carbon. Since the intrusion of contaminants into the interior can be suppressed to a minimum, high purity metal can be melted and cast.
Therefore, even a metal having high electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity such as copper and silver can be easily melted by the induction-heating water-cooled crucible furnace 1 in which the carbon cylinder 12 is provided on the inner wall surface of the crucible of the present invention. It has an excellent effect. The thickness of the carbon cylinder 12 is 3 to 50 mm. 3m
If the thickness is less than m, the strength is weak, and if the thickness exceeds 50 mm, melting can be performed. However, since the electromagnetic force does not penetrate into the metal inside the carbon cylinder 12, the molten metal does not rise and comes into contact with the carbon cylinder. Therefore, the thickness is in the range of 3 to 50 mm.

(Comparative Example) As in Example 1, a crucible equivalent to the water-cooled copper crucible shown in FIG. 1 was used, and copper was melted without disposing a carbon cylinder in the crucible. The frequency is also 1
kHz. A conceptual diagram of this dissolution is shown in FIG. According to this, heat is removed from the portion where the melted metal has touched the water-cooled copper crucible 15 and further melting does not proceed. As a result, a phenomenon occurs in which only the copper surface is melted, and the desired melting is not sufficiently performed. could not. Reference numeral 20 shown in FIG. 3 is a molten (molten metal) portion, and reference numeral 21 is an undissolved portion inside.
