Slag Skimming Tool: Skimming Width 200-500 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered component integrated into automated slag skimming robots, designed to efficiently remove non-metallic impurities (slag) that form on the surface of molten metal during smelting, refining, or casting processes. It operates at high temperatures and in harsh industrial environments to maintain metal purity and quality.

Working Principle

Utilizes mechanical scraping or skimming action, often with controlled angle and pressure, to separate and remove the lighter slag layer from the denser molten metal surface. May incorporate thermal resistance and automated positioning systems for precise operation.

Materials

High-temperature resistant alloys (e.g., Inconel, Hastelloy), ceramic-coated steel, or refractory materials to withstand temperatures up to 1600°C and corrosive slag environments.
