ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

This application is directed to an expansible heat-retaining material of hot top surface for use in steel ingot making. A homogeneous mixture containing 1 to 30% by weight of more than one vegetable body, e.g. cereals, drained lees of sugar cane and peat moss, which have a heat expansibility is prepared in an exothermic or adiabatic composition consisting of more than one easily oxidizable metal, metal oxide, non-porous refractory materials, porous refractory material and carbonaceous materials.

Description

~ 36~

This inven-tion relates to an improvement in or relating to a heat-retaining material o~ hot top surface for use in steel ingot makingO
In ingot making there is known such a process in which a moulding of exothermic or adiabatic composi-tion is arranged at the upper end or the inner sur~ace upper portion of mold to pour melt into the mold~ and immediately a~ter the pouring completion9 there is placed at the upper sur~ace of melt a moulding of exothermic or adiabatic heat-retaining material or a moulding of heat-retai~ing material having exothermic substance at lower layer and adiabatic substance at upper layer or there is charged and added first a heat-re-taining mixture in the powder or granular ~'orm9 then an exothermic mixture and finally an adiabatic mixture9 in order to heat retain the upper portion i~e. the hot top o~ molten steel to delay a solidification of the hot top portion and improve the yield of ingot~
20 A190 known are various kinds o~ heat retaining materials which are charged and added to the upper surface of molten steel. There are ~elec-tively employed9 as exothermic heat-retaining materials9 mixtures such as easily oxidizable metals9 metal oxide 9 rei~ractory materialsg accelerators for burning and modifiers for burning9 and as adiabatic heat-retaining materials9 mixtures such as light weight refractory materials9 refractory fibrous materials, natural or arti~icial carbo naceous materials and organic substances~ Sometimes - 1- ~

3~0~

such heat-retaining mixtures are moulded to board shape or the like by using binderO The conventional heat retaining materials once attained their objects and are in practical useO
The present inven-tion is concerned with an improvement of conventional exothermic or adiabatic heat-retaining materials for hot top surface9 and the use o~ less amount of the material according .
to the invention than the conventional materials will produce excellent effectsO In the invention there is prepared a moulding in the ~orm of board or the like b~ adding9 as it is or with binder9 a mixture containing 1 - 30% by weight o~ more than one of vegetation such as cerealsg strained lees of sugar cane and peat moss to an exothermic or adiabatic composition comprising more than one o~ easily oxidizable metals9 metal oxide9 . .
non-porous refractory materials9 porous refractory materials and carbonaceous materials. Vegetation bodies having heat expansibility start to expand by a decomposition commencement of the vegetation structures at a heating temperature o~ more than 110C9 making -themselves several times -to several .hundred times in their volumeO When a heat-retaining material containing said vegetation bodies is charged and added9 therefore9 the other mixing components in the heat-retaining material begin to expand before the bringing about of heat changes such as combustion9 sintering and softening9 and the expansion takes place almost concurrently
- 2 -, .

with the charging and adding of' said heat-retaining material whereby covering the hot top sur~ace with a porous heat-retaining layer at an earliest stage 9 SO that it will suffice to add a ~mall amount of heat-retaining material in consideration of expansion amoun-t~ In the case of adiabatic properties as the main object the heat-retaining material is capable of exerting a high adiaba-tic reaction immediately a~ter charging 9 and in the case o~ exothermic properties as the main object it ignites and begins to burn ~rom the lower portion at its expansible porous layer 9 but when the expanded vegetation bodies have been carbonized and reached about 600C and before ashing9 -the easily oxidizable metals and the metals oxide such as me-tal aluminium and iron oxide begin reactions thereby sintering the mixed refrac-tory materials and reaction ~ormations thanks to their own heat3 to become skelton state 9 and the impression of burned-out organic substances becomes porous to retain heating properties. The vegetation bodies used as expansible ; materials in -the invention are cereals such as ricey corn9 wheat9 kaoliang9 soy bean and red beanO
Further, drained lees o~ sugar canes9 which are produced in sugar making 9 are squeezed under high pressure so that their structure becomes close and brings about its de~ormation by heating to expandO
Furthermore 9 peat moss is also usable because it brings about an expansion at the time of component decomposition by heatingO
3~

. Conventionally there have been employed9 as inorganic expansible materials 9 vermiculite 9 perlite and acid-treated graphite being mixture components in heat-re-taining materials 9 but in the former two the expansion tempera-ture is more than 900C and it may be hard to obtain heat-retaining properties before expansionO On the other hand9 in the materials already expanded the heat resistant temperature is less than 1000C so -that they are not suitable for exothermic heat-retaining material.
As regards acid--treated graphite its expansion temperature is more than 150C9 higher than in -the vegetation bodies used in the present invention9 to be difficult in obtaining initial adiaba-tic propertiesO However9 it is possible to include9 as refractory materials9 even such inorganic exapansible substances in-to the heat-~ retaining material of the present inventionO
: The reason that in the invention the mixing . 20 proportion of the expansible vegetation bodies is in the range 1 ~ 30% by weight 9 is that if less than 1% even vegetation bodies having high expansibili.ty may be difficult in forming skelton9 while if more than 30% even vegeta-tion bodies of ~' higher ash content may bring about a shrin~ing collapse after burningO
`: The following example illustrates the present invention but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the inventionO

' .

' A heat-retaining moulding manufactured according -to the invention was used in making a :: square-shaped 2-ton steel ingot 9 to compare the cogging available percentage of said ingot In the following Table each hea-t retaining materi.al is expressed with the mean percentage of l0 trialsO
There was used a heat-retaining ~leeve whose inner surface is exothermic~ of the type of placing it ~n the uper end surface o~ mold.
