Background technology
Up to now, the relevant patented technology that draws the hollow cast tube of cast iron is open, and its technical characterictic divides two classes: the first kind is horizontal casting scheme: the one, and horizontal casting method is produced device and the production technology thereof of cast iron pipe, publication number: CN1410188; The 2nd, hollow cast iron section bar and horizontal continuous casting apparatus, publication number: CN2589125; The 3rd, a kind of continuous casting production device of hollow cast iron section bar, publication number: CN102228963A.The common trait of technique scheme is on the basis of horizontal casting, in the middle of original jacket-type crystallizer, increase an inner core crystallizer, inner core crystallizer is made up of water-cooled core and graphite cannula, two crystallizers are installed with one heart, form an annular spaces, molten iron in holding furnace enters after this annular spaces continuously, is constantly condensed into ring-type shell, is more continuously pulled out.The potential risk of this type of scheme is, when molten iron is after on inner core crystallizer, condensation goes out shell, just produce huge convergent force, wale tightly graphite cannula, when shell is during by drawing, graphite cannula can be pulled off, and therefore, this type of scheme does not in theory especially have reasonability and possibility in practice.Equations of The Second Kind is vertical continuous casting scheme, disclosed patent is mainly with KR9001324(Continous Casting Line of a Cast Iron Tube, Priority number:FR1984001808419841126.) and US4236571(Process and Installation for the Continuous Casting of Tubular.) be representative, the essential characteristic one of this type of technical scheme is vertical drawing, the 2nd, adopt hot core crystallizer.For the graphite that prevents cold core crystallizer is pulled off, this class technical scheme adopts hot core crystallizer, with built-in sensitive circle heating graphite core, or allow molten iron enter the inside of graphite core, when molten iron enters after the annulus between overcoat crystallizer and hot core, only rely on the condensation of overcoat crystallizer to go out tubing, and can not wale hot core graphite cannula, there is significant deficiency in this type of technical scheme, reason is: 1, since the hot core in patent KR9001324 is surrounded by molten iron, its operating temperature is the temperature of molten iron namely, concerning plain cast iron, this temperature must be 1300 ℃ of left and right, patent US4236571 uses induction coil heating graphite core, and temperature must be higher, and we know, in the molten iron of graphite more than 1250 ℃, can, by etch rapidly, cannot continue more than 10 minutes, if 2 adopt the material (as Sialon material beta-sialon, α-sialon) that can resist molten iron etch, will rub with solidifying pipe material inner wall again, cause being pulled off.In practice, molten iron temperature fluctuation to some extent, cannot guarantee that tubing process of setting can finish just in the terminal of annulus, if finished early, solidifying tubing will be waled hot core, if end is more late, molten iron will leak; 3, in jacket-type crystallizer, place inner core again, place induction coil in inner core again, the pipe internal diameter size that must enable to draw is restricted, in fact, the tubing that this scheme can draw, internal diameter can not be less than 150mm.
The applicant applies for a patent before this (CN100479948C and CN201371225Y) and discloses a kind of new technical scheme---draw centreless continuous casting on vertical.By jacket-type crystallizer at right angle setting, utilize the condensation process time difference that ecto-entad carries out in crystallizer, and the feature progressively thickening from bottom to top, in the time that going out certain thickness tubing, condensation just it is upwards pulled out length by length.The other end of holding furnace pours into molten iron constantly, is full of all the time with the molten iron maintaining in crystallizer, and liquid level remains near the height of upper flange plate, and the condensation process of ecto-entad is carried out incessantly.There is following defect in this class scheme: the one, and the molten iron temperature in crystallizer from bottom to top reduces gradually, and on the end face of topmost, temperature is minimum, molten iron flow variation, the tube core inner wall coarse injustice forming; The 2nd, due to casting process be " drawing-pause-drawing-pause-... " hocket, and the dead time is greater than several times of drawing times and even tens times, when pause, molten iron level is relatively static in tube core, and radial solidification speed is very large, therefore at this height and position, tube wall thickness obviously thickens, and causes the annular boss (or title " cranse ") that has Bamboo-shaped on pipe material inner wall in macroscopic view.The stack of above-mentioned two defects, declines the endoporus dimensional accuracy of the hollow cast tube of continuous casting greatly, and through actual verification, on the continuous casting tubing of external diameter 100-200mm, wall thickness 10-20mm, cranse height 3-8mm, makes internal diameter size error up to 6-16mm; And on continuous casting tubing more than external diameter 200mm, more than wall thickness 20mm, cranse height 5-10mm, makes internal diameter size error at 10-20mm, so serious scale error, obviously declines the market using value of the hollow cast tube of continuous casting.The 3rd, because the cooling velocity of water mold is very high (under same size of pipe and tubing prerequisite, its cooling rate is on average 4-5 times of centrifugal casting, it is approximately 30 times that sand is cast), cause the radial symmetry gradient in the interior molten iron fluid column of crystallizer very large, thereby make a dendrite very flourishing, almost can run through whole tube wall, what accompany with it is, crystal boundary in cast sturcture and graphite flake are also parallel to radially mostly, and this distribution reduces the tangential intensity of hollow cast tube greatly; The 4th, in the molten iron fluid column in crystallizer, there is no strong convection current, solute Distribution gradient is larger, causes tube wall ectonexine component difference larger, tissue and performance uniformity variation.The existence of above four defects shows, although use vertical continuous casting method can draw out the hollow cast tube of cast iron, from tubing profile, the scale error of its endoporus is too large, reaches far away the technical merit of " near-net-shape "; From microstructure, a nascent dendrite is too flourishing, and very little, the tangential intensity of material is lower for the ratio of equiaxed grain structure; From composition and performance, tube wall ectonexine is inconsistent.Above-mentioned defect, becomes the bottleneck that vertical continuous casting method develops, and is therefore necessary to improve.

The specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1,2, a kind of embodiment of the present invention is described.
The vertical continuous casting method of hollow cast iron tubing, the U-shaped passage 5 that adopts L-type continuous casting holding furnace 3 and rotating magnetic field generator 2 and the common formation of crystallizer 1 to circulate for molten iron 6, molten iron 6 in molten iron pouring ladle 4 injects continuously from the U-shaped passage 5 left end porch of L-type continuous casting holding furnace 3, the rotating magnetic field generator 2 of flowing through enters crystallizer 1 again, the rotating excitation field that rotating magnetic field generator 2 produces is ordered about molten iron 6 High Rotation Speeds that magnetic field surrounds, drive the molten iron 6 in crystallizer 1 to rotate, the condensation from outside to inside in crystallizer 1 of the molten iron 6 of High Rotation Speed, then the steel pipe 8 drawing by mechanical traction roller 7 draws vertically upward transfers to hollow cast iron tubing.
Concrete steps are as follows:
Preparation: graphite cannula 9 is pressed in steel water collar 10 to composition crystallizer 1; Graphite cannula 9, than the long 30mm of steel water collar 10 left and right, stretches out from the dish hole of crystallizer lower flange 12, and prefabricated refractory tube 14 is injected in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) water collar 13, uses fire-resistant cotton 22 jam-packs between the two; Refractory tube 14 upper surfaces are lower than magnet exciting coil 15 and the shared about 30mm of magnetic field generator upper flange 16 left and right of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) water collar 13, suitable with the length of graphite cannula 9 external parts; Refractory tube 14 lower surfaces grow about 50-60mm left and right than magnetic field generator lower flange 17 end faces, also form an external part.Between end face, be coated with resistant to elevated temperatures zirconium English powder mud docking of graphite cannula 9 external parts and refractory tube 14, be inverted crystallizer 1, rotating magnetic field generator 2 is enclosed within on graphite cannula 9 external parts, again magnetic field generator lower flange 17 is enclosed within on refractory tube 14, finally with four stainless steel connecting bolts 20, crystallizer lower flange 12 is connected to compression with magnetic field generator upper flange 16, magnetic field generator lower flange 17, forms an entirety.Simultaneously in the right-hand member plane of L-type continuous casting holding furnace 3 (on a low transverse plane), take the circular hole on the stainless steel connecting plate 21 connecting with L-type pedestal 18 in advance as external diameter, repair stepped hole downwards, its center is exactly the outlet of the passage 19 on L-type continuous casting holding furnace 3, step hole depth 50-60mm; Seat clay mud is twisted into strip, and dish is at stepped hole bottom end face; Sling crystallizer 1 and rotating magnetic field generator 3, insert stepped hole the external part of refractory tube 14, and magnetic field generator lower flange 17 is fastened on stainless steel connecting plate 21; Remove U-shaped passage 5 internal causes and compress the unnecessary fire clay operating and extrude; Fall into the foreign material in U-shaped passage 5 from letting out 23 cleanings of iron hole, solid with stopper 24 shutoff; Install the inlet and outlet pipe lines of crystallizer 1 and rotating magnetic field generator, connect the electric wire of rotating magnetic field generator 3 and electric current regulator cubicle, after above-mentioned preparation completes, this special equipment just can formally come into operation:
1) the U-shaped passage 5 of flame preheating, makes its lower surface temperature be greater than 800 ℃;
2) clamp external diameter and be slightly smaller than steel pipe 8 upper ends of graphite cannula 9 internal diameters with being positioned at mechanical traction roller 7 directly over crystallizer 1, and graphite cannulas 9 are inserted in steel pipe 8 lower ends arrive crystallizer 1 medium position; On described steel pipe 8 bottom diameter walls, be shaped with helicla flute, so that molten iron 6 freezes after immersing, become one with steel pipe 8;
3) melt and configure the molten iron that composition is suitable, coming out of the stove in 1500 ℃ of left and right, pours bull ladle into, carries out inoculation, then pour in molten iron pouring ladle 4, and hydraulic cylinder 25 work are tilted molten iron pouring ladle 4, and molten iron 6 is injected in U-shaped passage 5 gradually; Specifically, before the molten iron 6 in molten iron pouring ladle 4 closes on and is finished down, pour into again next iron clad water by bull ladle to it, watering fashionable hydraulic cylinder 25 push rods falls after rise, but still must be to U-shaped passage 5 arrival end pouring molten iron 6, guarantee that the molten iron level height in U-shaped passage 5 is constant, bull ladle is to 1/2 of effective acting time that is less than inovulant used and nodulizer interval time of molten iron pouring ladle 4 pouring molten iron 6;
4) in the time of a little higher than crystallizer 1 medium position of the molten iron level height in U-shaped passage 5 submergence steel pipe 8 lower end helicla flute, stop cast, the hollow cast tube diameter drawing according to need is determined the dead time, and the time of pause rule of thumb can be determined as follows: determine according to the caliber that will draw (Φ) size the time t pausing
0, (when Φ ≈ 100mm, t
0≈ 10 seconds; When Φ ≈ 200mm, t
0≈ 15 seconds; When Φ ≈ 300mm, t
0≈ 20 seconds, by that analogy), now molten iron 6 certainly starts to solidify outside to inside in crystallizer 1, the precooling dead time finishes the mechanical carry-over pinch rolls 7 of rear startup and starts drawing, drawing step pitch initial alignment 40mm, and after drawing starts, the molten iron pouring ladle 4 of being controlled by hydraulic cylinder 25 continues to the interior pouring molten iron of U-shaped passage 5, make the interior liquid level of crystallizer 1 remain the above height of portion therein, by bull ladle batch (-type) to the interior supplementary molten iron 6 of molten iron pouring ladle 4, the intermittent time is less than the molten steel preparation half of effective time;
