Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the most effective and non-alternative continuous optical temperature control of metallurgical aggregates in machine building metallurgy. The aim of the article is to develop and investigate the technologies of continuous temperature control on the base of classical and spectral (multicolor) thermometry. To achieve thе aim, the next methods have been used: analysis of literature sources; experimental investigations of influence regularities of sighting zones, time of tapping, intensity of mixing and liquid metal temperature on one color radiation temperature of liquid metal in visible and infrared spectrum ranges under industrial conditions; statistical processing of the results of direct and indirect measurements with their errors estimation. It has been found the main role of thermometry in the metrological support structure of metallurgical plants. The production volumes of world machine building metallurgy have been analyzed, particularly, the part of metallurgy of energy machine building in it. Metallurgical equipment to be used for liquid metal obtaining and treatment has been classified from thermometric position. The stability of radiation characteristics of liquid metal in cupola, arc and induction furnaces has been investigated under conditions of different impact factors. The methodical errors of optical temperature measurements of liquid metal during tapping from cupola and arc furnaces on the base of classical energy thermometry have been estimated. In special determined сases these errors don’t exceed 1,0–1,5% with confidence level 0,997. Under another conditions these errors reaches 8% and this fact stimulates transition to the spectral thermometry. With the use of modern elemental base, the technologies of spectral measurements of temperature and emissivity have been developed. The technologies include: symmetric-wave, two-color compensative, as well as based on nonlinearity equation of emissivity spectral distribution. The temperature measurement errors of new technologies are lower than the same ones of known spectral, as well as classical energy and spectral ratio thermometry in 2,3; 11,7–20,0 and 6,1–7,6 times. Keywords: metallurgy of machine building, continuous optical temperature control, cupola furnace, arc furnace, classical and spectral thermometry.
