Definitions
- This invention relates to a means for the purification of molten metal, i.e. the removal of unwanted solid non-metallic inclusions contained in the molten metal.
- EP-A-404641 discloses the use in a tundish of a gas duct set into the permanent refractory lining and leading to a gas distribution chamber in the bottom of, and extending across, the tundish, the chamber being covered with a gas-permeable plate.
- GB-A-2164281 discloses the use of a porous refractory tile extending across the width of, and sitting on the floor of, a tundish, the tile containing a gas conduit with a plurality of exits to deliver gas into the tile.
- EP-A-0239257 discloses passing steel in a tundish through an apertured upright board, while introducing an inert gas at the foot of the board at its upstream side to cause a stream of bubbles to flow over its upstream side.
- EP-A-0059805 discloses the use of a porous nozzle in the bottom of a molten metal vessel, the nozzle having a flanged upper portion and cylindrical lower portion, its body being enclosed in a gas tight steel shell, with means to provide gas into the porous nozzle to escape into the molten metal in the vessel.
- the present invention aims to provide an improved means of bubbling gas into molten metal in the region of a nozzle in the bottom of a molten metal vessel.
- a molten metal vessel such as a tundish used in the continuous casting of steel
- the vessel will normally be of metal, usually steel, lined with refractory material, e.g. brick or a cast refractory concrete.
- Each outlet is provided by a nozzle positioned in a correspondingly-shaped hole though the floor of the lined vessel. It is conventional practice not to set the nozzle directly into the vessel lining but to set it into a so-called nozzle block, which latter is set into the vessel lining.
- the invention provides a means of supplying gas into a refractory-lined vessel containing molten metal in which an outlet through the floor of the vessel comprises a nozzle with a centrally-disposed through bore, the nozzle being sealingly set in a nozzle block which is itself sealingly set in the lining of the floor of the vessel, the nozzle block being gas-permeable and having a gas-receiving channel extending around the nozzle, and means to connect the gas-receiving channel to a source of gas.
- the gas-receiving channel extends completely around the nozzle.
- Gas, e.g. argon, supplied to the channel escapes upwardly through the porous nozzle block and emerges into the molten metal in the vessel in streams of bubbles rising from the vessel floor around the nozzle.
- the gas-receiving channel preferably contains a pipe connected to the source of gas, the pipe having perforations or slots, preferably in its upper surface, to allow escape of the gas into the porous nozzle block.
- the nozzle block may be a shaped refractory brick containing a centrally-disposed hole shaped to receive the nozzle but preferably it is made of a cast refractory cement into which the nozzle is set.
- the refractory cement may be of any suitable composition, well known per se in the art, but formulated to have the desired degree of porosity.
- the nozzle block may be designed to have greater porosity above the gas-receiving channel and lesser, e.g. approaching zero, porosity below the gas-receiving channel so as to help to direct the emerging gas upwardly into the molten metal.
- the porous refractory composition may be, for example, of a high alumina content formulation containing alumina and cement.
- the alumina content should be at least 65% by weight of the composition, preferably at least 75% and especially in the range 90 to 97% by weight.
- an area of different composition or porosity e.g. corresponding to the above-described area of lesser porosity, this may also be a cheaper formulation and hence, contain less of the better refractory component, i.e. alumina.
- part of the alumina may be replaced by an ore such as andalusite and/or bauxite.
- the construction of the present invention is particularly useful in that it can provide inert gas scouring in the immediate vicinity of the nozzle which, in a tundish, can prevent unwanted build up of deposits such as alumina on the nozzle itself while, moreover, it provides streams of inert gas in a wider region surrounding the nozzle to give, thereby, very effective inclusion-removal in the vessel itself.
- the metal tundish 10 has a base 11 and sidewalls 12, one only of the latter being shown. It is lined with a permanent refractory lining 13 which is itself covered with an inner, i.e. molten metal-contacting, expendable lining 14. An outlet 15 is provided in the base 11. This can be opened and closed by any conventional means (not shown), for example, by a stopper rod or a slide-gate valve beneath the base.
- a nozzle block 16 of cast refractory cement is positioned in a suitably-shaped recess in the tundish lining so as to rest on the base 11 surrounding the outlet 15.
- a nozzle 17 sits in the nozzle block so that its lower portion 17A protrudes below the base 11 of the tundish.
- Nozzle block 16 is of gas-permeable formulation and contains a feed pipe 18 to receive gas from a source (not shown). Feed pipe 18 runs completely around the interior of the nozzle block so as to surround the nozzle 17. The pipe 18 is conveniently set into the nozzle block as it is cast. The pipe is perforated in the manner indicated above so as to allow gas to escape into the nozzle block 16 and thereby into the interior of the tundish.
- Escaping gas is indicated by arrows A and B.
- the upper surface of nozzle block 16 has a horizontal portion 19, which is set above the level of the upper surface 21 of the nozzle 17, and an angled surface 20 which slopes down to the level of the nozzle surface 21.
- Gas stream A escapes from horizontal surface 19 and rises vertically to capture inclusions in the molten metal contained in the tundish.
- Gas stream B escapes upwardly and inwardly over the upper surface 21 of nozzle 17 and thereby helps to scour the nozzle of alumina or other deposits that would otherwise form on the nozzle.
