Induction furnace lining health monitoring system
Technology domain : Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Categarization : Design & development
The induction furnace (Air and Vacuum) has a refractory lining. This lining has a limited life. This refractory lining erodes during the melting process. The refractory lining needs to be changed after 1. GLD alarm trigger 2. it reaches a fixed hours of operation.
There is a device/ equipment required that can inform about the erosion behavior of the refractory lining after the melt. It should also tell about any severe damage or cracks in the refractory lining. The whole analysis process should be fast enough so that it should not affect the production activity.
