Comparative analysis as described in the subsequent examples was not performed due to the interruption of continuous casting production in the comparative scheme. In the comparison scheme, the molten slag is brought into the crystallizer by the steel strip 4, and the obvious phenomenon of steel strip slag inclusion is observed. The method for avoiding the slag of the invention can effectively avoid slag inclusion caused by contact between the steel strip and the slag, and compared with the method adopting a protective sleeve or devices with similar functions, the method for avoiding the slag can avoid the risk of solidification of molten steel in the protective sleeve or devices with similar functions and the like, thereby ensuring smooth continuous casting production.
The following describes an embodiment of statistical analysis of the exposed size of molten steel by using the method of the invention:
the width, length and area of the molten steel exposed area 5 in the crystallizer are counted, and the statistical result is shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that in the embodiments of the first to the third, the width of the molten steel exposed area 5 is larger than 50mm, and the length of the molten steel exposed area 5 is larger than the width of the corresponding steel strip, so that the steel strip 4 can be ensured to be far away from the molten slag, and the slag inclusion problem is avoided. Meanwhile, the error area, the fluctuation of the area of the molten steel exposed area 5 is less than 10%, and the area is stable. And fifthly, in the comparison scheme, no obvious molten steel exposed area 5 exists. The method for avoiding the slag to improve the purity of the casting blank ensures that the width, the length and the area of the molten steel bare zone 5 are stable, can effectively avoid the slag inclusion problem caused by the steel strip 4 penetrating through a slag layer, and improves the purity of the casting blank.
The following describes an embodiment of counting foreign matters such as large-size inclusions, slag inclusions and the like by using the method of the invention:
and (4) detecting the cross sections of the continuous casting billets from (i) - (iii) and (v), and counting the number of large-size foreign matters, wherein the counting results are shown in table 4, and the table 4 is a significance table of the counting results of the number of the large-size foreign matters of the continuous casting billets from (i) - (iii) and (v). And thirdly, no large foreign matter is found on the cross section of the continuous casting billet. Finding 15 large-size foreign matters with the diameter larger than 1mm in the cross section of the continuous casting billet, and analyzing the components by using a scanning electron microscope, wherein the result shows that the components of the large-size foreign matters are similar to those of the continuous casting covering slag, and the large-size foreign matters in the continuous casting billet come from molten slag. The comparison shows that the slag avoiding method for improving the purity of the casting blank can effectively avoid the problem of slag inclusion of the steel strip, eliminate large-size foreign matters generated by slag inclusion in the casting blank and improve the purity of the casting blank.

The following describes an example of the statistics of small-sized inclusions using the method of the present invention:
counting the diameters and the number of the inclusions of the (i) - (iii) continuous casting billets and the (v) continuous casting billets, wherein the result is shown in fig. 5. (iii) average diameter of inclusions in embodiments<3.5 μm and the number density amount of inclusions<35 pieces/mm2(ii) a And fifth, average diameter of inclusions in comparative example>6.0 μm, inclusion density>60 pieces/mm2The method is far greater than the implementation schemes. The slag avoiding method for improving the purity of the casting blank can effectively avoid the problem of slag inclusion of the steel strip, so that the inclusion in the casting blank is small in size and small in quantity, and the purity of the casting blank is improved.
The technical principle of the invention is as follows:
(1) according to the invention, the gas blowing gun is used for continuously blowing gas into the crystallizer molten steel 6 to generate bubbles, the bubbles float upwards to drive the molten steel 6 to move upwards, so that the molten steel 6 rolls on the surface of a molten pool and forms a molten steel exposed area 5, and the molten slag is discharged out of a feeding area, so that a steel strip 4 is prevented from contacting the molten slag from the source;
(2) according to the invention, the diameter, the insertion depth and the gas flow of the gas channel of the gun head of the gas blow gun are reasonably controlled according to the thickness of the molten slag layer and the depth of the immersion type water gap 7 inserted into the molten steel, so that the exposed area of the molten steel is stable; the diameter of a gun head gas channel of the gas blowing gun is 2.5-4.5 mm, so that bubbles can be ensured to float vertically in the molten steel 6, obvious deviation along with the flow of the molten steel 6 is avoided, and good continuity of the bubbles is ensured; the insertion depth satisfies H = (0.35+ K)1The multiplied by h) multiplied by L (mm) can ensure that bubbles have sufficient floating time to drive the molten steel 6 near the steel strip 4 to move upwards, and when the continuous casting production operation is not performed and the slag is accidentally adhered to the surface of the steel strip 4, the molten steel 6 moving upwards can wash the steel strip 4, separate the adhered slag from the steel strip 4, and float upwards along with the flowing until the surface is slowly adsorbed by the slag; the gas flow rate satisfies Q =40-K2×H0.92+K3×h1.24(L/min)The molten steel exposed area 5 with the width of 30-70 mm can be generated under different insertion depths of the air blow gun and the thickness of the slag layer, and the area is stable.
(3) According to the invention, the slag modifier and the thickening agent are added around the feeding zone to form a slag ring with a stable area, so that the area of the molten steel exposed zone 5 is further stabilized. The slag modifier satisfies Na2O/K2O = 3-4, which can make the modifier fully expand 10-15 times and adsorb liquid slag; the modifier contains 1.6-2.3% of Li2O and 3.2-4.2% MnO can ensure that the viscosity of the modified slag is 0.4-0.7 Pa.s, and the modified slag has stronger slag adsorption capacity and better fluidity. The slag thickener contains 62-73% of CaO, so that the viscosity of the slag is increased to 1.2-1.5 Pa.s, and the slag has low fluidity and strong slag adsorption capacity. By the means, the slag inclusion problem in the steel strip feeding process of the crystallizer can be effectively avoided, and the purity of the casting blank is improved.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the slag avoiding method for improving the purity of the casting blank can effectively avoid the slag adhesion phenomenon caused by the contact of the steel belt and the slag, and compared with methods such as a protective sleeve, a slag discharging device or a protective device, the slag avoiding method has the advantages that the molten steel fluidity of the feeding zone is good, the risk of the solidification of the molten steel in the protective sleeve or the device with similar functions can be effectively avoided, and the smooth continuous casting production is ensured.
(2) The invention reasonably controls the diameter, the insertion depth and the gas flow of the gas channel of the gun head of the gas gun according to the thickness of the molten slag layer, and can ensure that the area of the exposed area of the molten steel is stable and the fluctuation of the area of the exposed area of the molten steel is less than 10 percent.
(3) According to the invention, the gas is continuously blown into the molten steel by the gas blowing gun, the molten steel is driven to move upwards by the rising bubbles, the molten steel rolls and exposes on the surface of the molten pool, and the molten slag is discharged out of the feeding zone, so that the slag inclusion problem caused by the contact of a steel strip and the molten slag is avoided from the source, and foreign matters such as large-size inclusion, slag inclusion and the like with the internal size of more than or equal to 1mm in a casting blank disappear.
(4) The invention reasonably controls the insertion depth and the position of the gun head of the air blow gun, can ensure that bubbles generated by the air blow gun have sufficient floating time, drives molten steel near a steel strip to move upwards, promotes impurities to float upwards, and ensures that the average diameter of the impurities in a casting blank is less than 3.5 mu m.
