Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid metal casting installation comprising a metallurgical container intended to contain liquid metal, provided with a pouring orifice and comprising under this orifice a main device for closing and opening said orifice.
- the invention also relates to the method for implementing this installation.
- any metallurgical container such as a ladle or a continuous pouring distributor, mainly with slab or bloom, comprises a device for closing the pouring orifice to allow it to be closed, before and during the start of the pouring of the liquid metal into this container, then the release of this orifice to allow the pouring of the liquid metal into a second metallurgical container, for example in a continuous casting mold.
- Such a device must also allow partial or total closure of this orifice if it is necessary to limit the flow rate or interrupt the pouring of the liquid metal.
- the most well-known sealing devices are the stopper rods fitted with a conventional refractory lining requiring heating before the metal is poured to avoid any risk of solidification of the metal in contact with its surface. These cattails are heavier and difficult to handle.
- the closure devices currently used are the drawer nozzles. These give full satisfaction with regard to the sealing function before and during casting and at the end of it. On the other hand, it may happen that, despite the care taken in preparing the pouring container before a pouring, a plug of various debris r of slag and / or solidified metal prevents the pouring of the metal in the pouring orifice. liquid or severely limiting it.
- the solution generally consists in trying to burn with oxygen the incandescent magma forming the plug which obstructs the pouring orifice.
- a metal tube is introduced into this orifice through the lower part of the metallurgical vessel, into which a jet of oxygen is supplied.
- a flame is formed on contact with the magma, the heat of which melts the latter.
- This operation is always very delicate. In fact, it often happens that by melting the magma, the pouring orifice and / or the drawer device are damaged. In addition, this operation is dangerous for the personnel who perform it.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a molten metal casting apparatus of simple and effective aforementioned type, for preheating, closing and unplugging d r a discharge opening of the metallurgical vessel, that allows in particular, for a low cost, the rapid and effective removal of a plug obstructing the pouring orifice.
- the installation is characterized in that it also comprises an auxiliary device for pre-heating, sealing and unblocking the pouring orifice, placed above said orifice, and comprising an elongated element intended to be partially immersed in the liquid metal and made of a refractory and / or refractory insulating material which can be sintered on contact liquid metal, means for holding the elongated element on the pouring orifice so as to close it before and during the start of the pouring of the molten metal into the container and for lifting this element above the orifice casting, this element comprising at least one longitudinal duct opening at right and / or in the vicinity of the pouring orifice and which is connected to at least one source of pressurized gas allowing the preheating and / or unclogging of said orifice.
- an auxiliary device for pre-heating, sealing and unblocking the pouring orifice placed above said orifice, and comprising an elongated element intended to be partially immersed in the liquid metal and made of a
- This device which is only used as an auxiliary for preheating and / or closing the pouring orifice at the start of casting, can be simple and therefore light and economical.
- This device by its mere presence on the pouring orifice before the arrival of the liquid metal, also considerably limits the risk of debris of any kind falling into the pouring orifice to obstruct it.
- this device which is placed on the pouring orifice and then lifted slightly above it, allows, in the event of the presence of a possible plug, to send directly to this plug at very short distance, therefore with great precision, an oxidizing gas, such as for example oxygen or any other gas enriched with oxygen, oxidizing and / or reducing, to melt this plug.
- the elongated element is preferably made of a material capable of sintering on contact with the liquid metal allows the latter to maintain its mechanical cohesion throughout the duration of its stay in this liquid metal.
- the refractory insulating material, sinterable in contact with the liquid metal is composed of refractory inorganic particles, such as silica and / or alumina and / or magnesia, and optionally organic and / or refractory fibers, agglomerated using an organic and / or inorganic binder, capable of sintering on contact with the liquid metal.
- this material Since this material has a density and a thermal conductivity significantly lower than that of conventional refractories, this material does not require any preheating and does not risk causing solidification of the liquid metal in contact with it.
- this material remains slightly malleable after sintering, which is favorable for good sealing of the pouring orifice.
- the duct is constituted at least by a metal tube disposed longitudinally inside the elongated element and opening at the end of this element located above the orifice of pouring, the end of this tube opposite the pouring orifice being connected at least by a pipe to a source of oxygen and / or similar oxidizing gas and / or reducing gas under pressure, bubbling gas, to a powder feed mechanism, grains, metallic wire.
- a metal tube arranged longitudinally inside the elongated element allows a very simple construction of this element to which the tube serves as a frame.
- the jet of oxygen or enriched gas emerging at the end of the tube and of the elongated element situated above the pouring orifice forms a flame in contact with the liquid metal and attacks at very low distance and therefore with great precision the magma obstructing the pouring orifice without damaging the walls of this orifice or the elements of the slide or rotary shutter.
- the elongated element is preferably made being both refractory and insulating, the thickness of this material around the metal tube can be reduced and this elongated element can thus be very light compared to a traditional distaff.
- the method for implementing an installation comprises the following steps: a) the elongated element of the auxiliary device is placed on the pouring orifice, or main preheating, sealing and uncorking, b) the container is started to fill with liquid metal, c) when the liquid metal reaches the desired level in the container, the main closure device is opened, then d) the elongated element of the auxiliary device is slightly raised above the pouring orifice, e) if the liquid metal does not flow normally through the pouring orifice, control the arrival of the oxidizing gas in the conduit of the element to eliminate by fusion the plug formed in the pouring orifice, f) as soon as the metal flows normally through the pouring orifice, the elongated element is completely raised.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an installation according to an embodiment of one invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view similar to Figure 1, the elongated element of the installation according to the invention being raised above the pouring orifice, and being different from that shown in Figure 1;

- the main shutter device with drawer 8 may include a tube 10 allowing the blowing of argon in the nozzle 7 which in this case is made of porous refractory material.
- a pouring tube 11 Under the drawer closure device 8 is mounted a pouring tube 11.
- the pouring orifice 6 of the distributor 1 is equipped with an auxiliary preheating and / or sealing and uncapping device 12, which mainly comprises an elongated element 13 disposed substantially vertically on the casting orifice 6 so as to 1 '' seal.
- Element 13 is axially traversed by a tube 23 which serves as a frame.
- the elongate element 13 can be lifted above the pouring orifice 6 by any known system, manual or remote-controlled.
- this control device comprises a lever 14 articulated at 16 on a stand 17 carried by the casing 3 of the distributor 1.
- the lever 14 is articulated on the one hand to a collar 15 which encloses the upper part of the tube 23 above the element 13 and on the other hand to a link 18 guided by a sheath 20.
- the link 18 is controlled in translation by a lever, operating 21 articulated at 22 on the envelope
- this element has inside its metallic tube 23, generally made of ordinary steel, for example a standardized tube of nominal diameter 1 "(25,4
- the tube 23 is externally threaded at its lower end and screwed into a threaded sleeve 24.
- the end of the sleeve 24 opposite the tube 23 is for example welded to a washer 25 provided at its center with a circular orifice 26 in which is welded along the axis of the tube 23 a tubular element 27 of diameter smaller than that of the tube 23.
- a layer of insulating material covering the surface of the bath of liquid steel.
- the elongated element 13 is composed of several annular parts 13a, 13b, 13c fitted one on top of the other around the metal tube 23. These parts 13a, 13b, 13c can be joined to each other for example by means of a refractory adhesive. It is possible to interpose between the annular parts 13 ⁇ one or more parts 13e of a larger diameter, in particular in the region of the slag and / or of the layer of insulating material 35 covering the surface of the bath of liquid steel (FIG. 1).
- the part 13a adjacent to the pouring orifice 6 has a spherical surface 13d determined to be able to be applied in a sealed manner on the frustoconical edge 31a of the seat brick 31 and on the edge of the nozzle 7 housed in that -this.
- the end 28 of the tube 23 opposite the pouring orifice 6 is connected to a source of oxygen 30 under pressure by means of a flexible tube 29.
- the elongate element 13 can be produced in several ways.
- the tube 23 and the sleeve 24, to which the washer 25 and the section of tube 27 have been previously assembled, are assembled, to which a porous plug allowing the gases to pass is added, and the insulating coating is produced in a single operation.
- the material 34 constituting the different parts 13a, 13b, 13c of the element 13 is a refractory and / or refractory thermal insulating material composed of particles refractory inorganics, such as silica and / or alumina, and / or magnesia, ... and optionally organic and / or refractory fibers, the whole being agglomerated using organic binders and / or inorganic, liable to sinter on contact with liquid metal 2.
- composition of the refractory thermal insulating material and the particle size of its constituents are adjusted so that sintering occurs, in the case of steel metallurgy, between 800 ° C and 1500 ° C.
- addition of a mineral binder frees the composition from the sintering constraints.
- the specific mass of this material can vary between 0.5 and 2.9 kg / dm 3 depending on the composition and the particle size of its constituents.
- the outer walls of the tube 23, of the sleeve 24, of the washer 25 and of the tube section 27 can be coated beforehand with an adhesive facilitating the adhesion of the material 34 to the metal.
- Another way of making the element 23 consists in separately preparing the end part 13a having substantially the shape of a hemisphere extended by a cylinder, then screwing the tube 23 into the sleeve 24 and then threading onto the tube 23 the various prefabricated tubular parts 13b, 13c.
- the lower part 13a intended to close the pouring orifice 6, which supports the pressure hydrostatic of the liquid metal and rests on the periphery of the pouring orifice 6 has the maximum thickness of refractory and / or refractory insulating material 34.

- the parts 13a, 13b, 13c can be produced for example by press or by accelerated filtration under pressure or by suction. They can be refractory and / or insulating refractory. They can have a larger diameter in the slag area than the elements 13b and 13c.
- the container is a continuous casting distributor.
- the distributor 1 comprising an auxiliary device 12 and a main device 8
- the elongated element 13 is fixed to the arm 14.
- the element 13 rests by its own weight on the bottom of the distributor 1 and care is taken to center the lower spherical part 13a on the pouring orifice 6.
- the element 13 being in place, the device is placed at drawer 8 in closed position. The mere presence of the element 13 on the pouring orifice 6 will therefore prevent the introduction of undesirable foreign matter into this orifice.
- the refractory insulating material 34 surrounding the element 13 begins to sinter.
- This sintering continues inside the material, as the temperature inside the parts 13a, 13b, 13c increases. Thanks to this sintering, the cohesion of the material is maintained, despite the decomposition of the binder.
- the liquid metal does not wet the surface of the material of the element 13, so that the behavior of this element is not likely to be disturbed by undesirable metal adhesions.
- the material of the element 13 being insulating, there is no solidification of metal against its surface.
- the material 34 of the element 13 remains slightly malleable even after sintering, which further improves the sealing conditions of the pouring orifice 6.
- the surface of the bath of liquid steel is covered with an insulating material 35 then the main valve closure device 8 is opened then, using the levers 21 and 14, the element 13 is slightly raised above the pouring orifice 6, as shown in FIG. 2. If the metal flows normally, element 13 can be lifted to its upper release position and kept there by any blocking device (not shown).
- the element 13 is lowered again on this orifice 6 and oxygen is blown through the tube 23 and the tube section 26 which forms a nozzle. Upon contact with the liquid metal, a flame 32 is immediately formed which will melt and disappear any magma 33 of metal and foreign matter obstructing the pouring orifice 6.
- the element 13 is raised to its upper release position and held there. Then it is possible, when a blowing of argon is planned, to open the arrival of argon through the pipe 10 in the nozzle 7 to expel from the vicinity of the orifice 6 any impurities.
- the element 13 is dismantled and replaced by a new element.
- the invention is not limited to the metallurgy of steel and can be used for all liquid metals, in particular aluminum, copper and their alloys, provided that the composition and the particle size of the materials constituting the material of the element 13, the parts 13a or 13b or 13c or 13e of which are refractory insulators, are adapted to allow sintering of this material in contact with the liquid metal.
- This refractory insulating material can at will be acidic, basic or neutral depending on the composition chosen according to the intended use.
- the total charge of the refractory component (s) of this material can reach 99.5%, the percentage of fibers being able to reach 20%.
- the refractory insulating parts not subjected to sintering contain an inorganic binder.
- the installation according to the invention can be adapted for example to a ladle and / or to each pouring orifice of a distributor, the length of the element 13 being adapted to the conditions of use.
- the drawer nozzle can be replaced by a barrel nozzle.
- the tube 23, the sleeve 24, the washer 25, the section of the tube 27 can be replaced by equivalent elements assembled by any known means.
