# Industrial Specification: Degassing Chamber

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized vessel within a molten metal degassing system where dissolved gases are removed from molten metal through controlled processes.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-1.5 bar absolute pressure, 700-850°C temperature, 0.5-3.0 m³/min inert gas flow rate**. Failure boundary: **Chamber wall stress exceeds 250 MPa yield strength of 316L stainless steel at 800°C, or refractory lining erosion depth exceeds 50 mm**, Mechanism: **Thermal fatigue from cyclic heating (700-850°C) and cooling (200-700°C) during batch operations causes crack initiation at stress concentrations; hydrogen embrittlement reduces fracture toughness by 40% when dissolved hydrogen exceeds 15 ppm in molten aluminum**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a degassing chamber in basic metal manufacturing?
**A**: A degassing chamber removes dissolved gases like hydrogen and oxygen from molten metal through controlled processes, improving metal quality, reducing porosity, and enhancing mechanical properties in final products.

### Q: What materials are used in degassing chamber construction and why?
**A**: Degassing chambers feature a steel shell for structural integrity, refractory lining to withstand extreme temperatures (typically 700-1600°C), and insulation materials to maintain thermal efficiency and protect the outer structure.

### Q: How do specifications like chamber volume and pressure rating affect degassing performance?
**A**: Chamber volume determines batch processing capacity, while pressure rating (typically 1-10 bar) controls degassing efficiency. Proper sizing ensures optimal gas removal, energy efficiency, and compatibility with specific metal alloys and production volumes.
