Description

Melt immersion probe and online detection device based on LIBS technology

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a remote on-line monitoring field of high temperature liquid composition, concretely relates to fuse-element immersion probe and on-line measuring device based on LIBS technique.

Background

The chemical components and the temperature of molten liquid metal need to be diagnosed in real time in the smelting process of steel and alloy so as to judge the smelting end point, thereby controlling the performance of finished metal materials. The traditional smelting process adopts an off-line detection mode of manual sampling and sample preparation. The off-line detection mode needs to be carried out on an analysis instrument for measurement and analysis after a series of processes such as sampling, cooling, grinding, polishing and the like, the whole process takes 4 minutes, which accounts for 10% of smelting time, the performance of the prepared metallurgical finished product material is difficult to reach the expected standard, and energy waste is caused.

In recent years, more and more equipment manufacturing has put forward strict requirements on material performance and quality of key parts (such as high-speed bearings and high-speed railway wheels), so that smelting production has increasingly urgent requirements on an online continuous and stable detection sensor technology and a method for molten metal chemical components and temperature resistance and high reliability, and an online detection device based on a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology begins to appear, wherein the LIBS technology is a technology for exciting plasma by using laser and detecting by using emission spectrum of the plasma. The LIBS technique does not require sample pretreatment and is applicable to solids, liquids, and gases. Therefore, the method has remarkable application value in the aspects of in-situ, online, real-time and non-contact analysis.

At present, there are two types of melt metal online detection devices based on the LIBS technology. The first type mainly uses short-distance and open type optical path detection, optical structures exist on a high-temperature resistant probe part, the structure is complex, the air in an open space has strong absorption on ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet spectrums under the severe environment of high temperature and smoke dust, some nonmetal elements such as C, S, P and the like are the most important elements for quality control and smelting endpoint judgment, plasma characteristic spectrums are mainly distributed in the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet areas, the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet spectrums cannot be effectively detected, in addition, the probe cannot go deep into the liquid metal, and the detection process can also be interfered by slag. The second type mainly comprises an in-situ and on-line detection probe for the components of the remote metallurgical liquid metal, wherein the front-end high-temperature-resistant probe is arranged in the metallurgical liquid metal, a sealed space is formed inside the probe, inert gas is filled in the probe, a light path environment of the inert gas is realized, and an optical element is not arranged inside the probe; the high temperature resistant probe comprises an outer refractory material part and an air charging part, wherein the bottom of the air charging part is of an open structure, but the high temperature resistant probe has the following problems: because the bottom is of an open structure, after the probe is placed, because liquid metal at the bottom flows back into the probe, liquid metal laser ranging is needed, then focusing debugging is carried out, a large amount of time is needed, the delay of optical system focusing generates plasma spectrum real-time disturbance on the current liquid metal obtained by a spectrometer, component and temperature measurement deviation is caused, and real-time detection cannot be really achieved; secondly, under the condition that liquid metal is in boiling in the smelting process, the metal liquid level can fluctuate, the plasma page is unstable, and the fluctuation of the ion spectral line is uncontrollable, so that the detected component deviation is brought; when the probe extends into the liquid metal again, slag can flow back into the probe along with the liquid metal, interference is caused to the detected components, and the real components of the liquid metal cannot be accurately detected; in addition, due to the material of the probe, the probe cannot be immersed in liquid metal of more than 1700 degrees for too long time, otherwise the probe enables the excitation and collection multiple optical paths to be at high temperature under the action of heat conduction, and the heat radiation generates noise for the spectrum collection at the rear end, so the detection time is shortened.
