Abstract
The work reveals the issues of electric arc melting of non-metallic systems, such as oxide melts, for synthesis and casting
of fluorophlogopite products, which are used as corrosion-resistant hydro- and gas-tight products for conditions of
elevated temperatures and aggressive effects of chlorine, ammonia, metal melts, etc. The advantages and disadvantages
of arc melting furnaces with a water-cooled crucible and graphite lining in the preparation of fluorosilicate melts are
revealed. The effect of melting parameters and furnace design on the structure and phase composition of fluorophlogopite
casting was investigated. The rational temperature regimes for obtaining fluorophlogopite melt were developed to
minimize energy consumption and loss of volatile components from the melt. The effectiveness of technological sample
application for express analysis of the fluorophlogopite casting quality is shown, which allows quickly correcting
the charge composition by analyzing the technological sample fracture. This also allows using recycled material as raw
material in the amounts of up to 50…60 %, in addition to mineral charge components. The proposed technological and
design solutions allow obtaining fluorophlogopite melt in the amount sufficient for the production of massive castings
over 150 kg. Ref. 5, Tabl. 1, Fig. 5.
