INSTALLATION FOR PRODUCTION OF FERROTITANIUM BY ELECTRIC-ARC MELT OF TITANIUM CONTAINING MATERIAL UNDER LAYER OF PROTECTIVE FLUX Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C22C33/04 C22B9/18 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: installation additionally consists of non-consumable graphite electrode, of vertical pole with horizontal bar equipped with attachment point of non-consumable electrode, of metering device with hoppers and unit of loose materials mixture supply, also metering device is hinged on side axis of bath-crystalliser, of two-section cover with removable sections for covering bath-crystalliser on top, of charge filling and packing unit rigidly coupled with drying box to ensure prepared and packed consumable electrode drying, of hoist and transport facility for displacement and advance of consumable electrode to its attachment point on horizontal bar of vertical pole, and of control desk with devices for control of values of current, voltage, and rate of electrode advance with indicators of their rough and fine advance.

EFFECT: production of ferrotitanium ingots with high titanium contents with specified chemical composition by electric-arc melt of oxidised titanium containing material under layer of protective flux per one melt.
