Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pouring tube made of refractory material having at its upper part orifices for injecting a protective gas in order to prevent oxidation of the molten metal and to cool the walls of said pouring tube. It relates to a pouring tube provided with protective gas injection orifices having a particular arrangement and shape.
  • the present invention finds wide application in the continuous casting of steel, during which the latter is discharged from a ladle to a degassing enclosure or to a basket, and from the latter to a mold or to an ingot mold.
  • the duration of the casting operation and the large contact surface that the metal presents to the air make the implementation of means inevitable creating a protective atmosphere protecting all the free surfaces of the metal from oxidation.
  • British patent 2,013,856 discloses a method and an apparatus for controlling and regulating, in particular in continuous casting, the discharge rate of a container provided with a sliding closure device and a pouring tube. .
  • the upper part of the pouring tube is embedded in a recess provided in the lower face of a fixed lower plate of said sliding closure device.
  • the recess is lined with a metal ring and is connected to an annular channel through which an inert or reducing gas is injected.
  • This metal ring is intended to form a baffle in order to prevent the infiltration of steel into the annular channel while allowing the passage of gas.
  • a device for replacing the pouring tube mounted on the discharge orifice of a ladle is known from American patent 4,079,869.
  • the gas stream which is generally argon, is used primarily to cool the pouring tube.
  • the gas is brought in by simple ramps distributing it as quickly as possible over the surfaces to be protected.
  • the gas pipes are provided in the movable arms of the support frame.
  • the injection ports are formed in the annular flange on which the tube and the fixing fork rests.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the drawbacks mentioned above. It relates to a refractory material pouring tube having at its upper part injection orifices for a protective gas during the casting operation in the flow of molten metal in order to prevent oxidation of that -this and to cool the walls of the pouring tube, this tube being essentially characterized in that it has a frustoconical part on which is fixed an assembly collar intended to apply it against a bottom plate of an orifice discharge from a ladle and in which are formed along certain generators of the truncated cone, injection grooves connected to each other at their upper part by an annular channel connected via a support ring to a source of shielding gas.
  • the aforementioned injection grooves are regularly distributed along the aforesaid frustoconical part.
  • the source of shielding gas is a source of inert gas, in particular argon.
  • the gas injection device according to the invention is mounted on the bottom of a ladle, designated as a whole by the reference notation 1 and intended to treat a bath of molten metal.
  • a bottom plate 2 surrounds a discharge orifice 3 of the ladle 1 provided with a closure device 4.
  • the closure device 4 consists of a movable anchor plate 5 made of refractory material, possibly consisting of several elements 6 each having an orifice 7 on which is fixed a pouring tube 8 having a cylindrical flow channel 9 of determined diameter.
  • the upper part of the pouring tube 8 is flared. It carries a fixing collar 10 intended to apply the pouring tube 8 against the bottom plate 2 provided with the orifice 3 for discharging a ladle.
  • the flared part in fact determines a truncated cone, located in the extension of the channel of the pouring tube 8.
  • grooves 11 are provided for injection. These grooves 11 are connected to each other at their upper part by an annular channel 12, possibly embedded in the mass of the fixing collar 10 of the tube 8.
  • a radial duct 13 connects the annular channel 12 to the support ring 14 at the source protective gas 15, possibly by means of oscillating arms 16.
  • the flared part of the pouring tube 8 is arranged below a constriction 17 of the discharge orifice 3 of the ladle 1.
  • the fixing collar 10 of the pouring tube 8 shown in FIG. 1, surrounds the upper edge of the flared part of said pouring tube 8.
  • the circular channel is formed by the annular wall of the fixing collar 10 and the base of a cylindrical or frustoconical part 18 which fits into the pouring tube forming a constriction 17 in the pouring channel.
  • This constriction 17 which, during the casting operation, acts like a Venturi tube, creates a depression.
  • This depression has the effect of sucking in the pouring tube 8, during the casting operation through the injection grooves provided in the pouring tube 8, a gas or mixture of protective gases and distributing it. along the walls of the pouring tube 8 in order to protect the free surfaces of the metal from oxidation.
  • the presence of air in the pouring tube causes a reduction in the quality of the casting metal due to the formation of exogenous blowing caused by the air driven mechanically during the casting.
  • the oxidized metal tends to stick in the pouring tube 8 and to give a film of oxides which, in the case of an ingot mold, can be the cause of skin defects.
  • the present invention allows above all to keep the injection grooves free even in case of interruption of the casting operation.
  • the injection of a protective gas also makes it possible to cool the internal wall of the pouring tube 8 made of refractory material.
  • This tube 8 is subjected to a considerable thermal and chemical attack. Among other things, it is subject to significant erosion.
  • the injection of shielding gas makes it possible to reduce or partially avoid this erosion.
  • the pouring tube 8 must therefore be replaced less often. This is moreover, with a view to frequent replacement of this pouring tube, a support fork is provided to keep it in place.
  • the fixing collar surrounds the entire frustoconical part of the pouring tube so as to form a more solid assembly.
  • This second embodiment gives sufficient solidity even if the annular channel 12 is embedded in the mass of the fixing collar 10.
  • Nitrogen is not suitable as a shielding gas because it causes the formation of nitrides. Generally, argon is used.
