Abstract

The invention relates to a process for adding alloying products to molten metal, in particular molten steel during the tapping of a converter into a casting ladle, wherein the alloying products are introduced in the form of a jet into the casting jet of molten metal flowing out, the jet of alloying product enclosing an angle with the vertical plane formed by the molten metal casting jet. The invention is characterised in that, with a changing position of the molten metal casting jet due to a changing casting inclination of the converter or due to a changing size and position of the tapping hole of the converter as a result of wear thereof and/or with a changing position of the alloying product jet due to a changing composition of the alloying product, the direction of the alloying product jet is continuously adjusted for combining the two jets. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine zugehörige Vor­richtung zur Zugabe von Legierungsmitteln in eine Metall­schmelze, insbesondere Stahlschmelze beim Abstich eines Konverters in eine Gießpfanne, bei dem die Legierungsmittel in Form eines Strahles mit dem ausfließenden Gießstrahl der Schmelze zusammengebracht werden, indem der Legierungsmittel­strahl mittels einer am Gefäßmantel des Konverters angeordneten Zugabevorrichtung so geführt wird, daß die beiden Strahlen sich treffen, wobei der Legierungsmittelstrahl mit der durch den Gießstrahl gebildeten vertikalen Ebene einen Winkel einschließt. Die zugehörige Vorrichtung besteht aus einem am Gefäßmantel des Konverters angeordneten Zugaberohr für die Legierungsmittel, dessen im Bereich der Abstichöffnung des Konverters angeordnete Austrittsöffnung in Richtung Gießstrahl weist sowie aus Mitteln zum Zuführen von Legierungsmitteln zum Zugaberohr.The invention relates to a method and an associated device for adding alloying agents into a molten metal, in particular molten steel when tapping a converter into a ladle, in which the alloying agents are brought together in the form of a jet with the pouring pouring stream of the melt by the alloying agent jet using an am Vessel jacket of the converter arranged addition device is guided so that the two jets meet, the alloying agent jet forms an angle with the vertical plane formed by the pouring jet. The associated device consists of an addition tube for the alloying means arranged on the vessel jacket of the converter, the outlet opening thereof arranged in the region of the tap opening of the converter pointing in the direction of the pouring jet, and means for supplying alloying means to the addition tube.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der deutschen Patentschrift 25 47 686 bekannt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung, bei der das Zugabe­rohr auf dem Gefäßmantel des Konverters fest angeordnet ist, ist nachteilig, daß Lageänderungen des aus der Abstichöffnung des Konverters austretenden Stahlgießstrahles nicht nachvoll­zogen werden können. Ein Teil der zugegebenen Desoxidations- und Legierungsmittel trifft den Gießstrahl nicht und löst sich entweder gar nicht oder zu einem nicht gewünschten Zeitpunkt in der Schmelze auf. Hierdurch entstehen unerwünschte Konzen­trationsunterschiede, Desoxidationsverzögerungen und Legie­rungsmittelverluste.Such a device is known from German Patent 25 47 686. In this device, in which the addition pipe is fixedly arranged on the vessel jacket of the converter, it is disadvantageous that changes in the position of the steel pouring jet emerging from the tap opening of the converter cannot be traced. Some of the added deoxidizing and alloying agents do not hit the pouring jet and either do not dissolve at all or dissolve in the melt at an undesired point in time. This creates undesirable differences in concentration, delays in deoxidation and loss of alloying agents.

In der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 15 83 962 ist ein Ver­fahren und eine zugehörige Vorrichtung beschrieben worden, bei dem die Legierungsmittel mittels einer Spritzvorrichtung in den Metallschmelzengießstrahl eingebracht werden. Die Spritzvor­ richtung ist am Mantel des Konverters fest angebracht und die Zuführung der Legierungsmittel und der erforderlichen Druck­luft erfolgt durch flexible Schläuche. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist den erhöhten Belastungen beim Abstich von flüssigem Stahl vielfach nicht gewachsen. Ferner zeigt die Erfahrung, daß zur Förderung mit einer Spritzvorrichtung ein sehr gleichmäßiger Kornaufbau erfoderlich ist. Ein solcher liegt bei Legierungs­mitteln im allgemeinen aber nicht vor. Nachteilig ist ferner, daß beim senkrechten Aufeinandertreffen von Gießstrahl und Legierungsmittelstrom Schwierigkeiten bei der Dosierung und Mischung entstehen, und zwar dadurch, daß je nach der Ge­schwindigkeit, mit der das Legierungsmaterial die Spritz­pistole verläßt, ein Abprallen vom Gießstrahl auftreten kann mit zwangsläufig großen Materialverlusten.A method and an associated device have been described in German Offenlegungsschrift 15 83 962, in which the alloying agents are introduced into the molten metal casting jet by means of a spraying device. The Spritzvor Direction is firmly attached to the jacket of the converter and the supply of the alloying agent and the necessary compressed air is carried out through flexible hoses. Such a device is often not up to the increased stresses when tapping liquid steel. Experience has also shown that a very uniform grain structure is required for conveying with a spraying device. Such is generally not the case with alloying agents. A further disadvantage is that difficulties arise in metering and mixing when the pouring jet and the alloying agent flow meet each other, specifically because, depending on the speed at which the alloy material leaves the spray gun, the pouring jet can ricochet with inevitably large material losses.

Aus der deutschen Patentschrift 27 06 096 ist eine Einrich­tung zur Zugabe von Legierungsstoffen bekannt, bei der eine zum Gießstrahl gerichtete Schurre für das Fördern der Legie­rungsstoffe vorgesehen ist. Die Schurre ist unter einer Abdeckung von einer Ruhestellung in eine Arbeitsstellung ausfahrbar, wobei eine Verstellung der Schurre zwischen der Anfangsposition B und der Endposition C möglich ist.From the German patent specification 27 06 096 a device for adding alloy materials is known, in which a chute directed towards the pouring jet is provided for conveying the alloy materials. The chute can be extended from a rest position into a working position under a cover, it being possible to adjust the chute between the starting position B and the end position C.

Ein Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, daß die Legierungsstoffe aufgrund unterschiedlich langer Fallstrecken in der Schurre und unterschiedlicher Neigungen der Schurre in den verschie­denen Positionen unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten aufweisen. Diese unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten erschweren es dem Bedienungsmann, den Legierungsmittelstrom mit dem ausfließenden Metallschmelzenstrom in jeder Lage zusammenzuführen. Weitere Nachteile bestehen darin, daß die bekannte Vorrichtung einen größeren Platzbedarf hat und ein nachträglicher Einbau aufgrund der örtlichen Gegebenheiten in einem Stahlwerk häufig nicht möglich sein dürfte. Aufgrund größerer Transportwege für die Legierungsmittel ergibt sich eine Erhöhung der Transportzeit und damit ein höherer Energieaufwand zum Betreiben der Vor­richtung und höhere Instandhaltungs- und Reparaturkosten. Außerdem bedingt die Vorrichtung einen höheren Investitions­aufwand.A disadvantage is the fact that the alloys have different speeds due to different lengths of fall in the chute and different inclinations of the chute in the different positions. These different speeds make it difficult for the operator to merge the alloying agent flow with the flowing metal melt stream in any position. Further disadvantages consist in the fact that the known device requires more space and that subsequent installation may not be possible due to the local conditions in a steel mill. Because of the longer transport routes for the alloying agents, there is an increase in the transport time and thus a higher energy expenditure for operating the device and higher maintenance and repair costs. In addition, the device requires a higher investment.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die Nachteile der bekannten Vorrichtungen zu vermeiden und ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, die es ermög­lichen, daß der Legierungsmittelstrahl den Metallschmelzen­gießstrahl mit großer Sicherheit trifft und auf diese Weise eine intensivere Auflösung und Verteilung der Legierungsmittel im Schmelzbad eingestellt werden kann.The present invention has set itself the task To avoid disadvantages of the known devices and to propose a method and a device which enable the alloying agent jet to hit the molten metal casting jet with great certainty and in this way a more intensive dissolution and distribution of the alloying agents in the weld pool can be set.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe verfahrensmäßig mit den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen und vorrichtungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 3.The invention solves this problem procedurally with the features specified in claim 1 and device-wise with the features of claim 3.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist wesentlich, daß bei einer Auseinanderwanderung der beiden Strahlen der Legierungsmittel­strahl bis zum Zusammentreffen mit dem Metallschmelzengieß­strahl kontinuierlich nachgestellt werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, daß bei Nichtzusammentreffen der beiden Strahlen, z.B. bei sich ändernder Lage des Metallschmelzen­gießstrahles infolge sich ändernder Neigung des Konverters beim Ausgießen der Metallschmelze aus dem Konverter, die Strahlen wieder zusammengeführt werden. Ein Nichtzusammentreffen der beiden Strahlen kann auch eintreten, wenn sich die Lage des Metallschmelzengießstrahles ändert infolge sich ändernder Lage und Größe der Abstichöffnung des Konverters durch Verschleiß oder wenn sich die Lage des Legierungsmittelstrahles ändert aufgrund einer anderen Zusammensetzung des Legierungsmittels, hervorgerufen u.a. durch unterschiedliche Körnungen, Reibungs­werte und spezifische Gewichte der Legierungsmittel.It is essential in the process according to the invention that when the two jets drift apart, the alloying agent jet can be continuously readjusted until it meets the molten metal casting jet. In this way it is ensured that if the two beams, e.g. if the position of the molten metal casting jet changes due to the changing inclination of the converter when the molten metal is poured out of the converter, the jets are brought together again. The two jets can also not coincide if the position of the molten metal casting jet changes due to changing position and size of the tap opening of the converter due to wear or if the position of the alloying agent jet changes due to a different composition of the alloying agent, among other things. due to different grain sizes, friction values and specific weights of the alloying agents.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist wesentlich, daß das Zugaberohr auf dem Gefäßmantel des Konverters, vorzugsweise auf einem Tragring, verschwenkbar angeordnet ist. Nach Anspruch 4 ist ein als Trichter ausgebildetes Gehäuse auf dem Tragring vorgesehen, zur Aufnahme der mit einer Förderrinne herange­brachten Legierungsmittel und zur Weitergabe an das sich anschließende Zugaberohr. Falls ein Tragring nicht oder nicht an der entsprechenden Stelle des Konverters vorhanden ist, kann eine Konsole am Konvertermantel befestigt werden.In the device according to the invention it is essential that the addition tube is arranged pivotably on the vessel jacket of the converter, preferably on a support ring. According to claim 4, a housing designed as a funnel is provided on the support ring, for receiving the alloying means brought in with a conveying trough and for passing it on to the subsequent addition pipe. If a support ring is not or not available at the corresponding point on the converter, a bracket can be attached to the converter jacket.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteranspruch 2 bezüglich des Verfahrens und Gegenstand der Unteransprüche 5 bis 10 bezüglich der Vorrichtung.Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of subclaim 2 regarding the method and the subject of subclaims 5 to 10 regarding the device.

Weitere Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens und der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung bestehen darin, daß ein nach­träglicher Einbau der Vorrichtung gut möglich ist und dafür nur geringe Investitionskosten aufgewendet werden müssen. Ferner zeichnet sich die Vorrichtung durch kurze Transport­wege und hohe Betriebssicherheit aus; der Energieaufwand zum Betreiben der Anlage und die Instandhaltungs- und Re­paraturkosten sind gering.Further advantages of the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention consist in the fact that a subsequent installation of the device is easily possible and only low investment costs have to be used for this. Furthermore, the device is characterized by short transport routes and high operational reliability; the energy expenditure for operating the system and the maintenance and repair costs are low.

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen einen Konverter 1 zur Herstellung von Stahl, wobei in den Figuren 1 und 4 der Konverter in der Arbeitsposition und in den Figuren 2 und 3 in der Gießposi­tion dargestellt ist. Auf einem Tragring 2 oberhalb der Trag­zapfen 1a im Bereich des Konverterhutes 3 ist ein trichter­ förmiges Gehäuse 4 zur Aufnahme der Legierungsmittel angeordnet. Das Gehäuse 4 weist eine seitliche Beschickungsöffnung 5 und eine untere Austrittsöffnung 6 auf. An diese Austrittsöffnung 6 schließt sich ein Zugaberohr 7 mit seiner Eintrittsöffnung 8 an.1 to 4 show a converter 1 for the production of steel, the converter being shown in the working position in FIGS. 1 and 4 and the casting position in FIGS. 2 and 3. On a support ring 2 above the trunnion 1a in the area of the converter hat 3 is a funnel shaped housing 4 arranged for receiving the alloying agent. The housing 4 has a side loading opening 5 and a lower outlet opening 6. At this outlet opening 6 there is an addition pipe 7 with its inlet opening 8.

Die Austrittsöffnung 9 des Zugaberohres 7 weist in Richtung des Stahlgießstrahles 11, der in Gießstellung des Konverters 1 aus der Abstichöffnung 10 austritt; wie die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen, trifft der Legierungsmittelstrahl 12 den Stahlgieß­strahl 11 vor dem Eintritt in die Gießpfanne 13.
Das Zugaberohr 7 ist im Bereich seiner Eintrittsöffnung 8 über eine Gelenkvorrichtung am Tragring 2 schwenkbar befestigt. Zur kontinuierlichen Verstellung des Zugaberohres 7 ist auf dem Tragring 2 ein elektro-mechanisches, wassergekühltes Verstell­gerät 14 angeordnet.
Wie im einzelnen Figur 5 zeigt, ist das Verstellgerät 14 über ein Befestigungsstück 17 an einem Befestigungssupport 18 angelenkt, welches auf dem Tragring 2 befestigt ist. An der Hubstange 16 ist ein Scherenheber 19 angeordnet, dessen oberer Arm 21 über eine Lagerscheibe 22 mit der Spitze des Zugaberohres 7 und dessen unterer Arm 20 über eine weitere Lagerscheibe 23 mit dem Tragring 2 gelenkig verbunden sind. Figur 6 zeigt, daß durch Ausfahren der Hubstange 16 die Arme 20 und 21 des Scherenhebers 19 gespreizt werden, so daß auf diese Weise das Zugaberohr 7 kontinuierlich verstellt werden kann. Eine U-förmige Rohrführung 31 verhindert das Kippen des Zugaberohres 7 beim Schwenken des Konverters 1.The outlet opening 9 of the addition pipe 7 points in the direction of the steel pouring jet 11, which emerges from the tap opening 10 in the casting position of the converter 1; As FIGS. 2 and 3 show, the alloy medium jet 12 hits the steel pouring jet 11 before it enters the ladle 13.
The addition tube 7 is pivotally fastened in the region of its inlet opening 8 via a joint device on the support ring 2. For the continuous adjustment of the addition tube 7, an electro-mechanical, water-cooled adjusting device 14 is arranged on the support ring 2.
As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the adjusting device 14 is articulated via a fastening piece 17 to a fastening support 18 which is fastened on the support ring 2. A scissor jack 19 is arranged on the lifting rod 16, the upper arm 21 of which is articulated via a bearing plate 22 to the tip of the addition tube 7 and the lower arm 20 of which is connected to the supporting ring 2 via a further bearing plate 23. Figure 6 shows that by extending the lifting rod 16, the arms 20 and 21 of the scissor lift 19 are spread, so that the addition tube 7 can be continuously adjusted in this way. A U-shaped pipe guide 31 prevents the addition tube 7 from tilting when the converter 1 is pivoted.

Figur 7 zeigt die Ausbildung der Gelenkvorrichtung im Bereich der Eintrittsöffnung 8 des Zugaberohres 7. Sie besteht aus einer Konsole 32, die auf dem Tragring 2 befestigt ist und aus einer zugehörigen Halterung 33 am Zugaberohr 7. Die Konsole 32 und die Halterung 33 sind über einen Gewindebolzen 34 mit Gegenmuttern 37, der in nicht dargestellen Bohrungen der beiden Teile an­geordnet ist, miteinander verbunden. Auf dem Gewindebolzen 34 angeordnete, ballig ausgebildete Scheiben 35 und ein Teller­federpaket 36 sorgen für die federnd gelenkige Ausbildung der Gelenkvorrichtung.FIG. 7 shows the design of the articulation device in the area of the inlet opening 8 of the addition tube 7. It consists of a bracket 32 which is fastened on the support ring 2 and an associated holder 33 on the addition tube 7. The bracket 32 and the holder 33 are connected via a Threaded bolt 34 with lock nuts 37, which is arranged in bores of the two parts, not shown, connected to one another. Crowned disks 35 arranged on the threaded bolt 34 and a plate spring assembly 36 ensure the resiliently articulated design of the joint device.

Die Stromversorgungs- und Steuerungskabel und die Kühlwasser­leitungen für das Verstellgerät 14 verlaufen in nicht darge­ stellter Weise im Tragring 2 und durch einen der Tragzapfen 1a des Konverters 1 zu den Versorgungsquellen bzw. zu einem Kon­verter-Abstichstand 24 auf der Arbeitsplattform 25.
Wie in den Figuren 1, 3 und 4 dargestellt, ist auf der Arbeits­plattform 25 eine Schwingförderrinne 26 zur Beförderung der Legierungsmittel in das trichterförmige Gehäuse 4 angeordnet; die Schwingförderrinne 26 ist auf Schienen 27 verfahrbar. Zum Vor- und Zurückfahren der Förderrinne 26 dient ein pneumatisch wirkendes Kolben-Zylinder-Aggregat 28; der Zylinder des Aggre­gates 28 ist dabei mit dem Fahrgestell der Förderrinne 26 und die Kolbenstange 29, mit einem außen liegenden Festlager, ver­bunden.
Vom Abstichstand 24 aus wird das elektro-mechanische Verstell­gerät 14 durch einen Bedienungsmann betätigt. Ferner ist im Abstichstand 24 eine an sich bekannte Konverter-Lage-Erfassung angeordnet, mit welcher entsprechend der Konverterlage und der Gießdauer die Schwingförderrinne 26 über einen Antrieb 26a in Betrieb gesetzt und das pneumatische Kolben-Zylinder-Aggregat 28 zum Vor- und Zurückfahren der Förderrinne 26 gesteuert wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Einbringen von Legierungs­stoffen wird wie folgt betätigt:The power supply and control cables and the cooling water lines for the adjusting device 14 do not run in Darge in the support ring 2 and through one of the support pins 1a of the converter 1 to the supply sources or to a converter tapping stand 24 on the work platform 25.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, a vibrating conveyor trough 26 for conveying the alloying agents into the funnel-shaped housing 4 is arranged on the working platform 25; the vibrating conveyor trough 26 can be moved on rails 27. A pneumatically acting piston-cylinder unit 28 serves to move the feed trough 26 back and forth; the cylinder of the assembly 28 is connected to the chassis of the conveyor trough 26 and the piston rod 29 to an external fixed bearing.
The electro-mechanical adjusting device 14 is actuated by an operator from the tapping stand 24. Furthermore, in the tapping stand 24 there is arranged a converter position detection which is known per se and with which, according to the converter position and the casting time, the vibrating conveyor trough 26 is activated via a drive 26a and the pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 28 for moving the conveyor trough back and forth 26 is controlled. The device according to the invention for introducing alloy substances is operated as follows:

Nach Beendigung des Blasprozesses wird der Konverter 1 aus der Arbeitsposition gemäß den Figuren 1 und 4 in die Gießposition gedreht, wie die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen. Bei Erreichen der Gieß­position wird die Schwingförderrinne 26 entsprechend der Kon­verter-Lage-Erfassung soweit vorgefahren, daß der vordere Ab­schnitt der Förderrinne 26 in die seitliche Beschickungsöffnung 5 des trichterförmigen Gehäuses 4 hineinragt.
Aus nicht dargestellten Bunkern gelangen jetzt die Legierungs­mittel über die in Betrieb gesetzte Schwingförderrinne 26 in das Gehäuse 4 und durch das sich anschließende Zugaberohr 7 in den Stahlgießstrahl 11.After the blowing process, the converter 1 is rotated from the working position according to FIGS. 1 and 4 into the casting position, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. When the casting position is reached, the vibrating conveyor trough 26 is advanced so far in accordance with the converter position detection that the front section of the conveyor trough 26 projects into the lateral loading opening 5 of the funnel-shaped housing 4.
From the bunkers (not shown), the alloying agents now pass into the housing 4 via the vibrating conveyor trough 26 that has been put into operation and into the steel pouring jet 11 through the subsequent addition pipe 7.

Die sinkende Höhe der Stahlschmelze im Konverter 1 wird durch weiteres Verschwenken des Konverters ausgeglichen; hierdurch ändert sich jedoch die Lage des Stahlgießstrahles 11. Damit die Legierungsstoffe weiterhin den Gießstrahl 11 treffen, be­tätigt der Bedienungsmann vom Abstichstand 24 aus das Verstell­gerät 14, wodurch das Zugaberohr 7 entsprechend kontinuierlich nachgestellt wird. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß der aus­ tretende Legierungsmittelstrahl 12 den Stahlgießstrahl 11 trifft.The falling height of the molten steel in converter 1 is compensated for by further pivoting of the converter; however, this changes the position of the steel pouring jet 11. So that the alloys continue to hit the pouring jet 11, the operator actuates the adjusting device 14 from the tapping stand 24, as a result of which the addition tube 7 is correspondingly continuously adjusted. This ensures that the stepping alloy jet 12 hits the steel pouring jet 11.

Die Verstellung des Zugaberohres 7 durch Betätigung des Ver­stellgerätes 14 wird auch durchgeführt, wenn sich die Lage des Stahlgießstrahles 11 mit zunehmendem Alter der Abstichöffnung 10 verändert oder wenn die Lage des Legierungsmittelstrahles 12 sich ändert infolge sich ändernder Zusammensetzung des Legie­rungsmittels.The adjustment of the addition tube 7 by actuating the adjusting device 14 is also carried out if the position of the steel pouring jet 11 changes with increasing age of the tap opening 10 or if the position of the alloying agent jet 12 changes as a result of the changing composition of the alloying agent.

Nach Abstichende wird die Schwingförderrinne 26 über die Konver­ter-Lage-Erfassung so gesteuert, daß vor Beginn des Zurückschwen­kens des Konverters 1 in die senkrechte Position die Förderrinne 26 aus der Beschickungsöffnung 5 des trichterförmigen Gehäuses 4 herausgefahren wird.After tapping, the vibrating conveyor trough 26 is controlled via the converter position detection in such a way that the conveyor trough 26 is moved out of the loading opening 5 of the funnel-shaped housing 4 before the converter 1 swings back into the vertical position.
