Cabot 公司的 KBI 分公司最近在位于波义耳顿(Boyerton)的钽铌加工厂安装了二台价值三万美元的真空电弧熔炼炉和电子束熔炼炉,并宣称这两台炉子是世界上这类炉子中最大的两台。它们将被用来生产用于超导体的特别是核粒子加速器的铌和铌钛合金。该公司预计今后六年中核粒子加速器的生产将消费800吨左右的铌钛合金。目前仅有 KBI 和泰勒丹·华昌两家公司供应特殊用途的铌合金。可以预计这种新炉子对扩大铌锆合金的生产将起着很大的作用。
Cabot Corp.’s KBI division recently installed two vacuum arc melting furnaces and electron beam melting furnaces at a tantalum-niobium processing plant in Boyerton and declared the two furnaces the world’s largest Two of the largest furnaces in the class. They will be used to produce niobium and niobium titanium alloys for superconductors, especially nuclear particle accelerators. The company expects the production of nuclear particle accelerators to consume about 800 tons of niobium titanium in the next six years. Currently only KBI and Taylor-Huachang supply special-purpose niobium alloys. It can be expected that this new furnace will play a big role in expanding the production of niobium-zirconium alloys.
