Improve the continuous casting tundish of molten steel cleanness
Technical field
The present invention relates to the continuous casting installation for casting in metallurgy industry, refer to particularly a kind of continuous casting tundish that improves molten steel cleanness.
Background technology
At present, most iron and steel are all to manufacture continuous casting billet by conticaster, are then rolled processing.Continuous casting process flow process mainly comprises: after converter tapping; molten steel is through external refining; delivered to the bale panoramic tables of conticaster by large contracted affreightment; molten steel flows in tundish by protective casing from large bag; tundish flow in crystallizer by submersed nozzle; and condensation pull-out in crystallizer, produce continuous casting billet.
In casting process, because ladle beam speed is high, kinetic energy is large, enters after the impact zone of tundish, and height of formation turbulent region, causes tundish molten steel secondary oxidation and middle winding slag phenomenon.Tundish is in whole process, and main performance is following to be acted on:
(1) reduce molten steel static pressure, keep the stable molten steel liquid level of tundish, evenly molten steel is injected to crystallizer;
(2) molten steel stays for some time (as 5 ~ 10min) in tundish, is conducive to field trash in molten steel and drips floating with the slag of sneaking into, with cleaning molten steel;
(3) shunting molten steel.To multiple-strand caster, by tundish, molten steel is assigned to each crystallizer;
(4) storage molten steel.In the time that changing ladle, sequence casting do not subtract pulling rate, for sequence casting creates conditions.
Wherein, topmost effect is to remove field trash in molten steel, removes in molten steel the gases such as [O], [H].Existing tundish is for the better middle foreign material of molten steel of removing, and the measure of mainly taking has:
A, add covering slag at tundish molten steel liquid level, barricade be set in tundish, optimize molten steel flow, catch removal of inclusions by covering slag, because the inclusion floating time is longer, and molten steel again in tundish the time of staying shorter, so its metallurgical effect is limited.
B, in tundish, use ceramic filter, molten steel is filtered, this method can be removed the field trash that portion size is larger, still, uses after a period of time, and ceramic filter easily stops up, and does not reach on the contrary the effect of removal of inclusions.
C, be blown into inert gas at tundish, the bubble that inert gas generates makes the inclusion particle in molten steel mutually collide and grow up, increase the motion vertically upward of field trash, thereby reach the object of cleaning molten steel, the shortcoming of this processing method is that blowning installation impossible is installed in whole tundish bottom, Tundish is processed inhomogeneous, and in steel, gas clearance is not high.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention will overcome the existing deficiency of prior art exactly, and a kind of continuous casting tundish that improves molten steel cleanness is provided.
For achieving the above object, the continuous casting tundish of the designed raising molten steel cleanness of the present invention, comprise tundish inclusion and be arranged on the tundish seal cover on tundish inclusion, on described tundish seal cover, be provided with for large bag long nozzle through the first opening that enters tundish inclusion, it also comprises the processor that tundish inclusion is separated into beam impact zone and pouring area, described the first opening is arranged on beam impact zone, described processor comprises lower retaining wall, the both sides of described lower retaining wall are respectively arranged with the first top retaining wall and the second top retaining wall, described the first top retaining wall and lower retaining wall form the rising passway of molten steel, described the second top retaining wall and lower retaining wall form the decline passway of molten steel, the upper end of described the first top retaining wall and the second top retaining wall is all connected with tundish seal cover, gap is left in the bottom of the lower end of described the first top retaining wall and the second top retaining wall and tundish inclusion inner side, the bottom of the lower end of described lower retaining wall and tundish inclusion inner side is connected as a single entity, between the upper end of described lower retaining wall and tundish seal cover, leave gap, between described the first top retaining wall and the upper end of the second top retaining wall, form the second opening of tundish seal cover, on described the second opening, be provided with the vacuum (-tight) housing being connected with vavuum pump, the bottom alignment rising passway place of described tundish inclusion is provided with argon-blowing device.
In such scheme, described processor is provided with one, and tundish inclusion is divided into a beam impact zone and a pouring area by it, and described beam impact zone and pouring area are only communicated with by rising passway and the decline passway of processor.
Preferably, described processor is provided with multiple, and tundish inclusion is divided into a beam impact zone and multiple pouring area by it, and described beam impact zone and pouring area are only communicated with by rising passway and the decline passway of processor.
Like this, the molten steel that enters tundish inclusion beam impact zone must first rise by the rising passway of processor, carries out entering pouring area from decline passway after application of vacuum, and the molten steel 100% of all casting has all passed through processing, has improved the effect of tundish metallurgy.
In such scheme, described the first top retaining wall, the second top retaining wall and lower retaining wall are parallel to each other, and described the first top retaining wall and the second top retaining wall are separately positioned on lower retaining wall both sides 8 ~ 10 centimeters.

In such scheme, in described pouring area, be provided with Ba Heyan.Like this, set up the effect of Ba Heyan raising tundish metallurgy in pouring area.
In such scheme, described argon-blowing device comprises 6 ~ 8 argon gas paths, is arranged on tundish inclusion bottom along rising passway centerline direction.Like this, argon gas enters rising passway, forms a large amount of minute bubbles, cause molten steel density in rising passway to diminish, molten steel in tundish inclusion enters the top of processor by rising passway, make the molten steel in tundish inclusion all obtain Argon processing, improves gas clearance in steel.
In such scheme, described vacuum (-tight) housing is connected with the tundish seal cap sealing of the second opening part by bolt.Like this, vacuum (-tight) housing is connected with vavuum pump, for taking the argon gas overflowing away, and under vacuum (-tight) housing, causes suitable vacuum.
The optional fusing point of material of the first top retaining wall, the second top retaining wall and lower retaining wall is at the oxide of 2050 ~ 3050 DEG C, as aluminium oxide, lanthana, beryllium oxide, zirconia, magnesia etc.; Also can select fusing point is the infusible compound of 2000 ~ 3887 DEG C, as carbide (carborundum, titanium carbide, ramet etc.), nitride (boron nitride, silicon nitride etc.), boride (zirconium boride, titanium boride, hafnium boride etc.), silicide (molybdenum disilicide etc.) and sulfide (thorium sulfide, cerium sulphide etc.); Also can select high-temperature composite material, as cermet, high temperature inorganic coating and fiber reinforced ceramic etc.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is: Steel Melt for Continuous Casting enters after tundish, first rise by the rising passway of processor, molten steel is under low vacuum state, one side is carried out Argon processing, then enter pouring area from decline passway, can guarantee that the molten steel that all enters crystallizer, through processing, strengthens tundish metallurgy treatment effect.In molten steel after treatment, 35 ~ 50 μ m inclusion removal rates reach the above large inclusions major part of 65%, 50 μ m and are removed, and total oxygen content has reduced by 55%, and in steel, gas content reduces by 46%, and molten steel recovery rate is high, reduce metal loss.The present invention has avoided ladle beam to impact caused strong eddy current, prevent that turbulent diffusion from causing that surface wave is involved in molten steel inside bits, the field trash of effectively controlling in molten steel too much flows into crystallizer, reduces inclusion in casting blank, improve molten steel cleanness and slab quality, reduce operating cost.
