Description

System and method for measuring thickness of liquid slag layer of casting powder
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of steel smelting processes, in particular to a thickness measuring system and method for a liquid slag layer of casting powder.
Background
It is known that the continuous casting mold powder, which is a key core material in the continuous casting process, has irreplaceable effects on the quality of a casting blank and the smooth running of the continuous casting process. The added protective slag plays roles of heat preservation, air isolation, molten steel secondary oxidation prevention and inclusion absorption in the continuous casting process, and is mainly capable of controlling lubrication and heat transfer between the billet shell and the crystallizer. The mold flux charged into the mold is heated by the temperature of the molten steel and then melted, and layered, generally considered as a three-layer structure, which is a powder layer-a sintered layer-a liquid slag layer from top to bottom, but the mold flux contains carbon (graphite or carbon black), and the carbon may be completely burned off before the mold flux is melted, and actually, a carbon-rich layer is formed due to the fact that oxygen in the air is difficult to permeate during the melting process of the mold flux, so that the carbon cannot be completely burned, and carbon in carbon nuclei formed during the slagging and sintering processes of the mold flux is continuously accumulated in the molten slag layer, and thus a powder layer-a sintered layer-a semi-molten layer-a carbon-rich layer-a liquid slag layer is formed, wherein the thickness and the carbon content of the carbon-rich layer are related to the carbonaceous material and the content in the mold flux. Under normal conditions, the thickness of the liquid slag layer is 8-15mm, and if the liquid slag layer is too thin, the slag film between the wall of the crystallizer and the solidified blank shell cannot meet the requirement, the occurrence of steel leakage bonding accidents is easily caused; if the liquid slag layer is too thick, slag rings are easily formed along the periphery of the crystallizer, the channel of meniscus liquid slag flowing into the blank shell and the wall of the crystallizer is blocked, a uniform slag film cannot be formed, cracks are easily generated, and the quality of a casting blank is deteriorated. The normal thickness of the sintered layer is 5-10mm, and too thin or too thick will affect the thickness of the liquid slag layer. The normal thickness of the slag layer is 5-10mm, and if the thickness is too thin, the effect of heat preservation cannot be achieved, and if the thickness is too thick, slag strips are easy to form. Therefore, it is very important to control a reasonable slag layer structure in the continuous casting process, particularly to continuously form a liquid slag layer having a certain thickness and stable performance and being uniformly melted.
In actual production, the thickness of the liquid slag layer of the crystallizer casting slag is used as one of the evaluation indexes of the service performance of the casting slag, and has important influence on the smooth running of continuous casting production and the quality of casting blanks. The thickness of the slag layer influences the uniform lubrication and heat transfer of the slag film, and further influences the surface defects of the casting blank. Therefore, in order to ensure stable continuous casting production and obtain good casting blank quality, it is necessary to develop an accurate and feasible device and method for measuring the thickness of the liquid slag layer of the casting slag.
At present, the method for measuring the thickness of the slag layer comprises a manual measuring method and an instrument measuring method. The manual measurement method is to insert steel wires, copper wires and aluminum wires with the same length into the molten steel of the casting slag in the crystallizer, keep the steel for 2 to 3 seconds and take out the steel wires, and the melting points of the metal wires are different, so the melting states are different, and the thickness of the slag layer is calculated according to the length difference of the metal wires. However, the manual measurement method not only increases the labor intensity of workers, but also causes inaccurate measurement and larger error due to shaking of hands, vibration of the crystallizer, fluctuation of the liquid level of molten steel and the like during detection, influences the correct judgment of the slag condition of the crystallizer by a steel pouring worker, causes steel leakage accidents, and influences the smooth production of steel pouring. The instrumental measurement method is classified into the following methods according to different principles. (1) Moving a thermocouple method: firstly, the melting point of steel, the melting temperature of the covering slag and the sintering temperature are measured, then a movable thermocouple is inserted into the covering slag and the molten steel in the crystallizer, the state of a substance is judged according to the temperature measured by the thermocouple at different positions, and the thickness of a liquid slag layer and the thickness of a sintering layer are further obtained. If the temperature of the molten steel has large fluctuation, the method can not judge the slag-metal interface, so that the measurement can not be carried out. And the thermocouple protective sleeve is easy to break to cause damage to the thermocouple, and the practicability is poor. (2) Electrode method: the method is characterized in that an electrode rod made of a conductive material which resists oxidation and steel slag corrosion at high temperature is inserted into a crystallizer, the electrode passes through covering slag and molten steel in sequence, the resistance value between electrodes is different at different positions, and the slag layer structure is measured according to the change of the resistance value between the electrodes. The method can quickly react with the structural change of the casting powder, but has the phenomena of steel sticking and slag sticking and is also influenced by electricity and noise. (3) An ultrasonic method: generating ultrasonic waves through a high-temperature resistant conducting rod inserted into the crystallizer, measuring the distance by using ultrasonic echo, and analyzing and determining the thickness of a slag layer according to a oscillogram. The method cannot measure the thickness of the liquid slag layer and cannot meet the requirements of the site. (4) An electromagnetic induction method: because the distance delta H between the eddy current thermal sensor and the lower surface of the sensor contact head is short, when the contact head reaches the surface of the mold flux, the sensor supporting plate stops moving downwards. The eddy current thermal sensor measures the distance H from the surface of the molten steel, and the thickness of the covering slag can be obtained according to the difference between the distance H and the surface of the molten steel. The method can only measure the total thickness of the casting powder, cannot measure the thickness of the liquid slag layer, and cannot meet the actual requirement. At present, in the domestic steel industry production, most of the methods adopt manual measurement methods, so that a new device and a method for measuring the thickness of the slag layer of the protective slag liquid of the continuous casting crystallizer are urgently needed to be developed.

And a liquid steel layer is arranged below the liquid slag layer, and when the carbon content is equal to that in the liquid steel through testing, the lower interface of the liquid slag layer is judged. The difference of the depths corresponding to the two interfaces is the thickness of the liquid slag layer to be measured.According to the result of this measurement, Delta X is equal to X2-X1=10.4mm。
