The invention relates to equipment for manufacturing
porous metal and
alloy equipment with a vertical bottom surface porous structure by adopting a
smelting and bottom-oriented solidification process under vacuum and high-pressure atmospheres. According to the invention, a
smelting crucible and an oriented solidifying
casting mould are the same device, the lateral wall of the device has conical degree, an insulated
ceramic coating is coated inside the device, or a heat-insulation
ceramic sleeve is lined in the device in a close fit way, and the device and a water-cooled
induction coil wound on the periphery of the device are separated by a puddling material; and a water-cooled crystallizer is arranged below the
smelting crucible and has an automatic lifting function. During smelting, the water-cooled crystallizer is far away from the smelting
crucible, namely the oriented solidification
casting mould; and during solidifying, the surface of the water-cooled crystallizer and the bottom surface of the smelting crucible, namely the oriented solidification
casting mold are closely jointed. The
water flow velocity in the water-cooled crystallizer is controlled through pressure; after the oriented solidification is finished, the equipment can obliquely rotate for 120DEG through an external tilting mechanism, and a
porous metal ingot is taken out. The vacuum-
positive pressure smelting and solidifying equipment can be used for producing
porous metal materials used for fields of
aircraft industry,
electronics, medicines and biochemical and metallurgical machinery,
petroleum chemical engineering, energy environment protection, national defense and war industry, and the like.
