Definitions

  • the nozzle which is the subject of the invention relates in the most general way to the decarburization of cast irons by means of lances disposed above the level of the liquid iron, which emit through a nozzle a jet of oxygen in the direction of the surface of this font.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the characteristics of the oxygen jets from injection lances equipped with this new nozzle and the influence of these characteristics on the conditions of interaction between these oxygen jets and the liquid iron.
  • This new nozzle applies in particular, but not limited to, the decarburization of chrome cast irons.
  • the means which is the subject of the invention is a new nozzle for an oxygen injection lance with a supersonic jet, thanks to which it is possible to cause with much greater efficiency the formation of the gas / cast iron emulsion. liquid.
  • This new nozzle according to the invention is characterized by a divergent which comprises, beyond the neck or throttling, a frustoconical part whose angle at the top is between 60 and 70 ° and, preferably, between 62 and 66 °, the angle of 65 ° being close to the optimum under the conditions of the tests.
  • This frustoconical part can be extended by a surface of revolution around the same axis, the generator of which has a concavity turned inwards, so as to reduce the dispersion of the jet.
  • the new nozzle according to the invention makes it possible to implement in a particularly effective manner the process for decarburizing chromium cast irons by a jet of supersonic oxygen which had been developed.
  • This new nozzle also applies in a much more general way to the decarburization of cast irons of all types thanks to a particular efficiency for causing the emulsion of liquid cast iron by means of the gas phase, and, possibly also, the emulsion of liquid dairy.
  • Fig. 1 shows a nozzle of known type for supersonic oxygen jet.
  • Fig. 2 represents the variation of the thrust of the jet as a function of the angle at the top of the diverging point of a frustoconical nozzle.
  • Fig. 3 shows a nozzle for a supersonic oxygen jet according to the invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows the variation of the chromium yield as a function of the angle at the top of the frustoconical diverging portion of the nozzle.
  • Fig. 5 shows the variation of the iron yield as a function of this same angle at the top.
  • Fig. 6 shows a nozzle according to the invention with an improved profile.
  • an oxygen lance comprising a nozzle, the throat or neck of which consisted of a cylindrical tubular zone of approximately 2 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length.
  • the end of this zone bu bu Iaire on the outlet side was not extended by a divergent and the expansion of the oxygen jet was therefore absolutely not limited to the outlet of the constriction.
  • the nozzle was covered with a layer of refractory oxides based on chromium oxide. This layer was deposited mainly during the period of formation and then maintenance of the gas / liquid iron emulsion.
  • composition An analysis of such a layer had given for example as composition:
  • this layer resulted essentially from the oxidation of the components of chromium cast iron, with the intervention of only a few percent of lime coming from the slag initially introduced - alumina and magnesia came from the lining. It was found that this deposit tended to surround the orifice of the nozzle and to form a more or less well-defined funnel around this orifice.
  • Nozzles were then produced, the general shape of which is shown in FIG. 1. These nozzles have an inlet 1 connected to the oxygen supply pipe, then a cylindrical neck 2 of approximately 2 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length and, finally, a frustoconical diverging portion 3 whose angle at the top a1 is approximately 10 ° according to the teaching of the book "BOF Steelmaking" cited above.
  • Fig. 2 gives the results of such tests in the case of a series of eight nozzles with the same characteristics as those of FIG. 1, except the angle of the divergent.
  • Nozzle 1 did not have a divergent
  • nozzles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 had divergent frustoconical 4 mm high whose angles at the top were respectively 41, 53, 61, 65, 69, 77 and 100 °.
  • nozzles for the decarburization of cast irons by supersonic oxygen jet comprising a frustoconical diverging whose angle at the top is between 60 and 70 ° and preferably between 62 and 66 °, the angle of 65 ° corresponding, to the accuracy of the measurements, to the minimum thrust, under the conditions of the test.
  • Fig. 3 shows a nozzle according to the invention. It comprises an inlet 4 and a neck 5 whose characteristics are similar to those of the inlet 1 and the neck 2 of FIG. 1.
  • the frustoconical divergent 6 has an apex angle a2 of 65 °. It has been found that it is possible, by means of such a nozzle, to bring about a completely reproducible emulsion of chromium cast irons by means of a jet of supersonic oxygen, according to the process defined by the tests. mentioned above. In addition, this emulsion, once formed, has great stability and is maintained until final decarburization of the cast iron, that is to say until a carbon content close to 0.2%.
  • the six apex angle values thus produced are: 41, 53, 61, 65, 69 and 77 °.
  • Each of these nozzles has a cylindrical neck 2 mm in diameter and 20 mm long and the height of the divergent truncated cone is in all cases 4 mm.
  • a batch of homogeneous pig iron was prepared having the following composition: Cr 17%, C 6%, Si 0.3%, Mn 0.3%, S ⁇ 0.03%, P ⁇ 0.03%.
  • the oxygen reacts mainly on the surface of the iron bath, preferably oxidizing Cr, Si and Fe: as the oxides formed which contain mainly Cr 2 0 3 accumulate at on the surface of the bath, a secondary reaction of reduction of these oxides by carbon begins.
  • the speed of this reduction reaction increases gradually at the same time as the temperature rises to about 1650 ° C around the tenth minute.
  • the CO formed is released during this time and burns, giving flames.
  • the reaction rates are high, which allows decarburization to continue at a rapid rate, until a final carbon content of approximately 0.2% is reached. the twenty-ninth minute. The temperature is then around 1820 ° C. and the oxygen blowing is stopped.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 make it possible to observe the variations in these yields as a function of the angle of the frustoconical diverging portion of the nozzle. It is very clearly seen that these yields go through a maximum for the nozzle which has an angle of 65 °. Although certain factors may slightly modify the optimal angle of the tapered diverging member according to the invention, it is, according to the tests carried out, between 62 and 66 ° in the field of the operating conditions which can be used.
  • Fig. 6 shows a nozzle according to the invention thus improved.
  • the part 10 which extends the frustoconical part 9 has a concavity facing the axis.
  • the tangent to the generatrix of the latter merges with the generatrix of the truncated cone.
  • the tangent to the generatrix of the concave part is almost parallel to the axis of the nozzle.
  • the nozzle according to the invention can be made of various materials. It is often preferred to use copper. It is important to machine the interior surfaces properly and to give them a good surface finish to avoid catching particles of oxide or projected metal. In general, the nozzle is connected to a metal lance cooled by a suitable fluid.
  • oxygen lances equipped with nozzles according to the invention for the decarburization of cast irons in basic converter by methods such as LD or by similar methods.
  • the use of the nozzles according to the invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency and the speed of decarburization and also makes it possible to increase the iron yield.
