Mechanical stirring: novel engineering approach for in situ spectroscopic analysis of melt at high temperature

Résumé

This paper proposes a novel engineering approach to control molten metals at high temperatures considering the industrial environment of such materials. To reduce analysis time and cost, in-line analysis techniques are more advantageous as they provide real-time information about melt composition. For this reason, recent research works focus on the development of new devices based on LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). These devices allowed for analyzing impurities inside molten metals with great performance. However, improvements related to the immersion probe conception are still required. Indeed, the previous design used bubbling inside the melt, leading to spatial instabilities of the surface analyzed by LIBS. The solution presented here is mechanical stirring by innovative rotary blades which will be a part of an immersion LIBS probe. Their rotation will generate a representative, renewed, and stable surface that will be targeted by spectroscopic techniques in general and particularly by LIBS laser for molten metal monitoring at high temperatures. This solution was validated using experimental tests based on particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) in water at room temperature and then applied to silicon melt at high temperatures. To do so, it was necessary to design a system that allows the introduction of the blade in the melt and controls its rotation.
