The function of the continuous casting tundish

 

The continuous casting tundish was originally used for the heat preservation of molten steel, and its main purpose was to distribute and rectify molten steel. With the successful development of technologies such as slow cooling of molten steel, molten steel reheating technology, argon gas sealing technology, gas stirring technology and removal of non-metallic inclusions in molten steel, continuous casting tundish have become the most important part of the final stage of the steel smelting process. The main refining vessel is developing to a large scale.

1 Purification function

To produce high-purity clean steel, install porous air-permeable bricks at the bottom of the tundish or embed porous tubular gas distributors between the working layer and permanent layer, or install porous bricks on the slag retaining wall to blow argon to make argon bubbles. Float evenly from the bottom to promote the removal of inclusions. These devices can eliminate the hydrogenation of molten steel in the initial stage of pouring, reduce the oxide inclusions in the molten steel, and reduce the defects caused by AI2O3 inclusions on the tin plate.

2 Temperature adjustment function

In order to make the temperature difference of molten steel before, during and after the tundish be less than 5℃ and close to the liquidus temperature during the pouring process, expand the equiaxed crystal area of the casting slab and reduce the center segregation, small scrap steel and iron injection can be adopted to the tundish powder and other measures to adjust the temperature of molten steel.

3 component fine-tuning

The central hole of the tundish stopper rod feeds cored wires such as aluminum, titanium, boron, etc. To the mold to realize the fine adjustment of the microalloy composition in the steel, which not only increases the cost of easy oxidation elements, but also avoids nozzle blockage.

4 Refining function

Add double-layer slag to the surface of the molten steel in the tundish to absorb the floating inclusions in the molten steel, or feed the calcium wire in the tundish to change the shape of AL203 inclusions to prevent nozzle blockage.

5 heating function

In the tundish, induction heating and plasma heating are used to accurately control the molten steel pouring temperature within ±3~5℃. In the initial stage of continuous casting, the tundish heating is used at the end of ladle pouring to compensate for the decrease in molten steel temperature and keep the molten steel temperature near the target. This is conducive to the stability of the pouring operation and improves the quality of the slab. During the pouring period, proper heating can compensate for the natural cooling of molten steel. The heating method uses induction heating and plasma heating.

Advantages and disadvantages of fire clay brick

图片
According to production process, fire clay brick is divided into machine made brick and handmade brick. According to structures, fire clay brick is divided into solid brick and hollow brick, and hollow brick can be divided into load-bearing brick and nonbearing brick. Fire clay brick is made at different shapes according to different using requirements. Advantages of fire clay brick： 1. Fire clay brick is environmentally friendly and belongs to resource recycling bricks, so we can rest assured use fire clay brick. Fire clay bricks won’t be harmful to our health. 2.Fire clay brick has advantages of fireproof and heat insulation. Used clay brick can be used as concrete so that to save a lot of resources. 3.The price of fire clay brick is not as expensive as that of other fire bricks. Light weight brick is more expensive than fire clay brick. Besides, fire clay brick is very cheap and very durable 4. Fire clay brick has good moisture-proof function, it also has the a...

The application of carburants

图片
Carburants are for casting iron. Carburants are added to steel, iron and carbon by carbon raw materials. High-quality carbon agent is essential for the production of high-quality steel auxiliary additives. At present, the vast majority of carburants are suitable for electric furnace smelting. Electric furnace smelting of the feeding method, the carbon agent should be with the scrap and other materials into the inside together, the addition of small doses can be added to the surface of the molten iron. But to avoid large quantities of molten iron to feed, to prevent excessive oxidation and the effect of carbon is not obvious and the cast carbon content is not enough. The amount of carbon agent added, according to the ratio of other raw materials and carbon content to set. Features 1.Absorption rate of it is up to 90% or more. 2.Improve the graphite form, increase the number of graphite, fine graphite, improve product mechanical properties, improve pro...

Installation of ladle slide gate and nozzle

图片
1.Before installing the upper steel ladle, first check the use of the water block brick. When the pit or crack occurs, use the repair refractory material to repair it, and then proceed to the next step. 2. Take the water pipe test, check the gap between the nozzle brick and the brick and the positioning of the nozzle brick. It is forbidden to manually remove the head of the water inlet and install it. 3. After checking the appropriate, remove the nozzle brick and apply refractory mud evenly on the outer wall of the upper nozzle brick. The thickness of the refractory mud is controlled at about 10mm (according to the actual clearance). When the gap between the nozzle and the brick is large, the asbestos cloth can be used. The head of the nozzle is evenly wound separately. 4. When installing the water inlet, the nozzle brick should be smoothly fed into the brick. During operation, avoid the gap in the lower part of the nozzle brick. 5. The water inlet must be re...
