Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-temperature protective coating used on the surface of a consumable electrode in an electroslag casting production process of a special-shaped slab with a very large width-thickness ratio, and particularly provides a high-temperature insulating anti-oxidation coating applied to the surface of an electrode in an electroslag casting industry and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Electroslag casting has the advantages of refining and solidification, and becomes an important production method of high-quality castings. In the electroslag casting process, the electrode is embedded into a high-temperature slag bath, the central temperature of the slag bath reaches 1700-1900 ℃, partial electrodes outside the surface of the slag bath are easy to oxidize, oxide skin is formed on the surface of the electrode, the oxide skin is brought into slag along with the downward movement of the electrode and then enters steel through diffusion, the oxygen content of the steel is increased, the distribution is uneven, and the metallurgical purity of an electroslag casting is reduced.
In addition, for electroslag casting of the special-shaped slab with large width-thickness ratio, the safety gap at the local position is small, and with the casting process, the situation that the electrode is in contact with the crystallizer to cause short circuit, further electric arc damages the crystallizer, and the casting process is forced to be finished to cause waste products is easily caused.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a high-temperature anti-oxidation anti-corrosion coating coated on the surfaces of a consumable electrode and the inner wall of a crystallizer in an electroslag casting production process, which can weaken the tendency of the consumable electrode to generate ferric oxide under the high-temperature baking of a slag bath, and can effectively prevent the condition that the crystallizer is damaged by electric arc generated by short circuit due to the contact of the electrode and the crystallizer under the condition that a safety gap is too small.

The invention relates to an insulating antioxidant coating for electroslag casting, which is characterized in that: the antioxidant is boron nitride, the binder is epoxy resin, the suspending agent is industrial sodium bentonite, and the solvent is water.
The preparation method of the insulating antioxidant coating for electroslag casting comprises the following steps: putting the solvent into a container with a stirrer, stirring at a low speed (preferably 10-40rpm), adding the suspending agent while stirring, uniformly stirring at a high speed (preferably 60-80rpm), adding the binder, continuously stirring uniformly, sequentially adding the calcium fluoride, the alumina powder and the antioxidant, and sufficiently and uniformly stirring to obtain the calcium fluoride-aluminum oxide-zinc oxide-calcium-zinc-.
The insulating antioxidant coating for electroslag casting is coated on the surfaces of a consumable electrode and the inner wall of a crystallizer in the electroslag casting production process to realize the functions of high temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and the specific use method comprises the following steps:
1) polishing the consumable electrode and the surface of the crystallizer copper plate to metallic luster, and uniformly stirring the coating;
2) coating the surface of the consumable electrode and the crystallizer with a coating brush, wherein the thickness of a single layer is less than 1mm, and after coating, baking the coating by adopting flame or in a furnace (preferably 200 ℃) until the coating is solidified;
3) and repeating the step 2) until the thickness of the electrode and crystallizer surface coating is 2-4mm, thus obtaining the product.
The insulating antioxidant coating can effectively reduce the content of unstable oxides in a slag bath, thereby improving the metallurgical quality of a casting, and eliminating the phenomenon of contact short circuit between an electrode and a crystallizer, thereby improving the stability of a casting process.
