Improvement measures for corrosion of tundish stopper

 

1. Strictly control the slag from the big bag
The main sources of slag components in the casting area of the tundish are ladle refining slag, tundish covering agent and molten steel inclusions floating up into the slag layer. Among them, the low silicon aluminum killed steel refining slag, which is more severely corroded by the stopper rod, is a high basicity refining slag system, and the CaO content in the slag is controlled at 55%-65%. The large ladle slag of each furnace will form a refined slag enrichment in the injection point area of the tundish. During the subcontracting process and when the pouring steel stream impacts the slag surface of the injection point area, it will cause the refined slag to enter the casting area and cause erosion of the stopper.
Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the slagging of the big ladle, and use the automatic control of the slag detection to avoid a large amount of slagging at the end of pouring. At the same time, the tundish slagging operation should be adopted. When the large ladle is continuously pouring 5 to 7 furnaces of molten steel, the tundish level slagging operation should be carried out to control the thickness of the slag layer in the injection point area.
2. Control the superheat of the package
The liquidus line of the molten steel of XGM6-1 steel grade is 1535℃, and the superheat is controlled at 25~45℃. From the actual production process, when the average superheat of the tundish reaches 45℃ (the temperature of the tundish is 1580℃), all slag lines appear erosion off the situation. The average superheat of the tundish is reduced by 15℃, and the actual control average tundish temperature is reduced to about 1560~1565℃. The erosion of the slag line has been significantly improved, and the erosion rate of the monoblock stopper slag line can be stably controlled within 20%.
3. Optimizing the composition of the covering agent for tundish molten steel
In view of the reaction situation between the tundish slag and the stopper slag line, it is impossible to completely avoid the problem of refined slag entering the casting area and high superheat of the tundish in the actual production process. Therefore, the composition of the covering agent for the tundish molten steel is optimized for different steel grades. The temperature condition of the package increases the MgO content in the covering agent, and forms the Mg-Ca-Al-Si multi-element compound in the slag layer of the middle cladding. The melting point is above 1600℃. A protective layer is formed at the slag line of the stopper to slow down the damage of the slag. The rod body is resistant to corrosion.
The control of the MgO content in the covering agent needs to be adjusted according to the actual control range of the molten steel ladle. When the MgO content exceeds 15%, the melting point of the tundish slag will increase significantly. The slag layer in the ladle pouring area is crusted, which affects the normal stopper control.

By optimizing the composition of the tundish covering agent, a coating layer of high-melting compound mainly composed of MgO is formed at the slag line of the monoblock stopper rod, which prevents the slag-steel interface reaction from corroding the refractory material at the slag line and effectively improves the service life of the stopper.

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...
