Causes of damage to ladle purging plug

图片
  1. Thermal stress The ladle purging plug directly contacts the high-temperature molten steel, and is subject to the continuous cold air flow, which generates a large temperature gradient, resulting in high concentration of stress. 2.Scour and abrasion The blown gas gives a certain reverse impact force to the working surface of the purging plug , and at the same time has a shearing and scouring effect on the purging plug. 3.Chemical erosion The material of the purging plug reacts with the molten steel penetrating the slit and the slag that has eroded into the working layer, which changes the physical and chemical properties of the working layer of the purging plug and increases the tendency of spalling. 4.Burning oxygen cleaning The high temperature when burning oxygen is very fatal to ladle purging plug , and the melt loss within a few minutes is many times higher than the normal refining erosion.

Improvement measures of extending the service life of steel taps of converter

图片
  Improvement measures of extending the service life of steel tap hole of converter 1.The life of the skateboard is relatively low. At present, the material of the domestic converter skateboard is mostly aluminum-zirconium carbon. As the material of the ladle skateboard, it has high strength, good thermal shock resistance, and excellent erosion resistance and corrosion resistance; But for the converter skateboard to block slag technically, the service life of the skateboard is relatively low. 2. The life of the tap hole needs to be further improved. The life of the tap hole is one of the important indicators of the converter sliding plate slag blocking technology. The tapping is caused by the frequent direct erosion and violent erosion of high temperature molten steel and high oxidizing slag, and the effect of rapid cold and hot heat. The mouth is easily damaged. The length of its life directly affects the converter smelting cycle, steelmaking productivity and slag ...

Tundish steel making role and process requirements

图片
  The tundish is a refractory container, and the molten steel poured from the ladle is distributed to each mold through the tundish nozzle . Continuous casting has the advantages of increasing metal yield and reducing energy consumption, simplifying the steelmaking production process, shortening the process, and significantly improving production efficiency. Tundish as a metallurgical reactor is an important part of improving steel output and quality. Whether for the smooth progress of continuous casting operations or for ensuring that the quality of molten steel meets needs, the role of the tundish cannot be ignored. It is generally believed that the intermediate package plays the following roles: 1. Shunting function. For the multi-stream continuous casting machine, the molten steel is divided by the multi-nozzle tundish. 2. Continuous pouring effect. In the multi-furnace continuous pouring, the molten steel stored in the tundish plays a role as a link when changin...

Causes of partial breakout of sliding nozzle mechanism

  Causes of sliding nozzle mechanism: 1) Due to long-time high temperature use, or inadvertent collision in operation, the sliding mechanism has large deformation, which leads to uneven stress on the sliding plate interface. Small gaps will be formed in the parts with small stress surface, which may cause steel penetration between sliding plates. 2) Due to long-time loading and unloading of the sliding car with the lower sliding plate, the error between the sliding car and the upper sliding plate mechanism will be generated slowly, resulting in the formation of small gap between the upper and lower sliding plates. 3) Because the spring used in the mechanism is used in high temperature environment for a long time, sometimes even though it is not in service, it may produce deformation and failure. Under the static pressure of molten steel, the gap between the sliding plates may appear, which may lead to steel penetration between the sliding plates. In serious cases, ...

Measures to solve the burst of refractory castable

图片
  At present, there are two main measures to improve the bursting resistance of refractory castables , reasonable drying and heating system and application of explosion-proof additives. Due to the different production conditions in different kilns, it is difficult to formulate a unified and reasonable drying and heating system. Therefore, anti-explosion substances are often added to improve the anti-explosion performance of refractory castables . The new high-strength corrosion-resistant castable has excellent corrosion resistance and good thermal shock resistance, which makes it widely used in the lining of key parts of large kilns. In the production process, the structure, particle size distribution, material and additives were adjusted to improve its anti-cracking performance, but at the same time, some problems were brought, such as too fast setting speed, delayed hardening and instant loss of fluidity, which caused the refractory castable to burst from time to tim...

Anti-stripping Performance of Magnesium-calcium brick

图片
During the use of magnesium-calcium bricks , the working end is cracked and peeled off due to changes in furnace temperature and slag penetration. Therefore, improving the spalling resistance of magnesium-calcium bricks is also one of the main ways to increase the service life of magnesium-silica brick linings. The pores in the magnesia calcium bricks can buffer the thermal stress in the magnesia-calcium bricks, prevent cracks from being generated and further expand, and help to improve the heat-stripping performance of the magnesia-calcium bricks . However, the pores in the magnesia-calcium bricks make it easier for the slag to infiltrate into the interior of the brick, forming a thicker deteriorating layer, and accelerating the structural peeling of the magnesia-calcium brick . Therefore, in practical applications, comprehensive consideration should be given to various factors to determine the porosity of magnesium-calcium bricks. In the production of magnesium-ca...

Remarks for remelting concrete molten steel in induction furnace
