Description

Treatment method for improving quality of copper water during copper alloy strip casting production
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of continuous production of copper alloy strips, and particularly relates to a treatment method for improving the quality of copper water during casting production of copper alloy strips.
Background
In the production of copper and copper alloys, the gases which are most likely to contact the melt and are relatively harmful are hydrogen and water vapor. Hydrogen is one of the most readily absorbed gases by copper liquid in large quantities and is soluble in almost all metals and their alloys. Oxygen properties are also active, but more forms oxides with other metals. Factors of gas generation in the copper water are classified into two types, i.e., invasive bubbles and precipitative bubbles.
1. Invasive air bubbles
The sealing performance of the smelting furnace and the heat preservation furnace is poor, copper water in the furnace and the crystallizer is covered too thin or exposed, and the like, so that the probability of entering copper water from air by gas is increased, the oxygen absorption amount and the hydrogen absorption amount are increased, a small amount of gas can be removed through copper-phosphorus alloy, zinc and the like of intermediate alloy, and can be realized by adjusting the casting cooling strength, but the condition that degassing is incomplete due to excessive invasion is caused, and the gas does not escape in time in the casting process, so that holes exist in the casting or on the surface.
2. Precipitated bubbles
There are three forms of gas evolution. The gas is dissolved in the form of atoms in the metal melt or in the crystal lattice to form a solid solution. The gas exceeding the solubility and the insoluble gas are likely to precipitate at the time of solidification, and exist in the form of bubbles or pores. If the chemical affinity between a gas and an element in a metal is greater than the affinity between the gas atoms, a compound may be formed. The first gas atoms diffuse from the metal interior to the metal surface, leaving the adsorbed state. This form is difficult to carry out due to the high cooling rate and high viscosity of the molten metal. The second gas atoms form a compound with certain elements in the metal, and are precipitated in the form of nonmetallic inclusions. The third gas atoms form gas molecules within the metal, which precipitate as bubbles. If the bubbles cannot escape the surface of the molten metal, bubbles will form inside the metal. The atomic hydrogen can be largely dissolved in the copper alloy liquid, if degassing quality is poor in smelting, and when the alloy liquid is solidified, supersaturated hydrogen dissolved in the alloy liquid is gradually separated out to form bubbles, and the bubbles which fail to escape from the surface of the alloy liquid become air hole defects after solidification or can not be timely discharged to form the bubbles due to the factors of excessively high casting speed, excessively high cooling strength and the like.
Therefore, poor copper water surface coverage causes poor copper water quality caused by air entering or gas in the copper water not being discharged and the like, and is a main factor for generating peeling and bubble defects of copper alloy products.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems of peeling and bubble defects caused by poor copper water quality in copper alloy strip casting, and provides a treatment method for improving the copper water quality in copper alloy strip casting production.
The invention is realized by adopting the following technical scheme: a method for improving the quality of copper water in the smelting and casting process of copper alloy strip includes such steps as mixing granular carbon with charcoal, applying it to the surface of medium-frequency smelting furnace, reducing the probability of gas to enter copper water, increasing the tightness and heat-insulating effect of copper water, adding a blowing unit at bottom of medium-frequency smelting furnace, exhausting copper liquid from bottom of medium-frequency smelting furnace by using nitrogen with purity higher than 99.99% via air brick and sand, removing hydrogen in copper water, homogenizing components and temp, discharging the impurities in copper water along with gas, adding deoxidized intermediate alloy, deoxidizing, and purifying copper water.
Charcoal is added into each intermediate frequency smelting furnace after the melting process and slag skimming, copper water is required not to be exposed in the melting process, the thickness is required to be 100-150mm after slag skimming, the charcoal particle size is more than 40mm, the charcoal can play roles in deoxidizing, insulating, isolating air and preventing oxidization and air suction after being added into the copper water, but because the particle size is large, small gaps exist among particles, the effect of isolating air and insulating heat is insufficient, and especially the gaps at the contact position of charcoal and furnace wall are large, so that quality problems can be caused. The particle size of the granular carbon covering agent is 3-8mm, the tightness is good, but the deoxidizing effect and the heat preservation effect are poor, the granular carbon covering agent and the deoxidizing effect are combined, the granular carbon covering agent can be effectively distributed among charcoal gaps, the heat preservation effect and the tightness are improved, air is effectively isolated, and the optimal use effect is achieved.
The granular carbon covering agent is mixed with charcoal to make up the covering defect of the existing charcoal, and really plays roles of deoxidizing, insulating heat, isolating air, preventing oxidation and absorbing air. Because the covering effect is improved, the oxidized slag bonding of the copper water surface is lighter, the slag bonding strength and frequency can be reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
When the medium frequency smelting furnace is used for melting and standing, nitrogen with purity of over 99.99 percent is introduced into the medium frequency smelting furnace by adopting a furnace bottom blowing device, large bubbles in the copper water are stirred and smashed, and the large bubbles are lifted in the form of small bubbles to be separated from the copper water, so that the dehydrogenation is carried out, and the process needs about ten minutes. Meanwhile, the oxygen content in the copper water is increased, and the deoxidization and dehydrogenation effects are achieved by adding the deoxidization intermediate alloy.
According to the treatment method for improving the quality of copper water in the copper alloy strip casting production, in the heat preservation stage of the copper alloy strip, the granular carbon covering agent and charcoal are mixed and used for covering the surface of a power frequency heat preservation furnace, so that the probability of gas entering copper water is reduced, the tightness and heat preservation effect of copper water are improved, nitrogen equipment is additionally arranged on the top of a furnace chamber of the power frequency heat preservation furnace, the nitrogen equipment protects charcoal and the granular carbon covering agent in the furnace chamber by using nitrogen with the purity of over 99.99%, air is prevented from entering, the charcoal and the covering agent are prevented from being too burnt, and exposure and cost waste are caused; in addition, when the furnace end box of the power frequency heat preservation furnace adopts the red-burned charcoal and the granular carbon covering agent to cover copper water, and the unburned charcoal is added, the condition of incomplete exhaust probably exists, so that the quality effect of the copper water closest to the crystallizer is poor, and the hidden quality trouble exists.
Introducing nitrogen with purity of over 99.99% into a furnace chamber of a power frequency heat preservation furnace, forming a protective layer on the surfaces of charcoal and granular carbon covering agent by utilizing the nitrogen, and adopting proper flow, wherein the proper flow cannot be too large or too small, so that the gas in the molten copper cannot be discharged, and the proper flow cannot play a protective role. In addition, as the furnace end box is internally provided with a nitrogen-free protection device, the charcoal and the covering agent which are not burnt to be red also have an exhaust process, and can lead to insufficient exhaust under the condition of insufficient standing time, and bubbles in the molten copper enter a crystallizer and can not be timely exhausted, thereby causing the defects of peeling and bubbles. The burning charcoal and covering agent are exhausted, and the adding of the charcoal and covering agent into the furnace end box does not affect the quality of the copper water in the furnace end box.
According to the treatment method for improving the quality of copper water during copper alloy strip casting production, when the medium-frequency smelting furnace and the power frequency heat preservation furnace are used for surface coverage, 80% -90% of the surfaces in the furnace are covered by charcoal, 10% -20% of the surfaces are covered by particle covering agents, and finally the surface of the copper water is completely covered.
The treatment method for improving the quality of copper water during the casting production of the copper alloy strip is characterized in that the deoxidized intermediate alloy is phosphor copper or zinc ingot intermediate alloy.
The method optimizes three aspects of copper surface coverage, medium frequency smelting furnace copper purification, power frequency heat preservation furnace hearth coverage and furnace end box coverage, achieves the effects of copper degassing and preventing air from entering the copper, improves the quality of the copper, and effectively eliminates the peeling and bubble defects of copper alloy products.
