Solche Formteile sind insbesondere Teil einer Schmelzenauslassvorrichtung bei einem metallurgischen Gefäß. Sie werden vorgeheizt, um ein unerwünschtes Abkühlen der durchfließenden Schmelze, insbesondere deren Einfrieren, zu vermeiden.Such molded parts are in particular part of a melt outlet device in a metallurgical vessel. you will be preheated to an undesirable cooling of the flowing Avoid melt, especially freezing.

Üblicherweise werden feuerfeste Ausguss-Formteile, insbesondere Eintauchausgüsse, mittels Gasbrennern aufgeheizt. Dies hat den Nachteil, dass es dabei zu einem Ausbrennen des Kohlenstoffs kommt, der Materialbestandteil des Formteils ist. Ungünstig ist dabei außerdem, dass es beim Aufheizen zu einer ungleichmäßigen Temperaturverteilung in dem Formteil kommt. Es wurden bspw. Temperaturunterschiede von etwa 400 K festgestellt. Darüber hinaus nimmt das Aufheizen eine beträchtliche Zeit in Anspruch.Fireproof spout moldings are common, especially Immersion spouts, heated by gas burners. This has the disadvantage that it burns out the Carbon comes, which is the material component of the molded part. It is also unfavorable that it heats up when it heats up uneven temperature distribution in the molded part comes. There were, for example, temperature differences of about 400 K. detected. In addition, the heating takes one considerable time.

In der DE 38 42 690 A1 ist ein feuerfester Ausguss für eine Stranggießanlage gezeigt, dessen Ausgusskanal außen von einer Induktionsspule umgeben ist, mit der die innere Außenwand geregelt induktiv aufheizbar ist. Die Spule ist Bestandteil des Ausgussbauteils. Dieses ist dadurch aufwendig und teuer, was insbesondere ins Gewicht fällt, weil solche feuerfesten Ausguss-Formteile Verschleißteile sind.

The coil is a component of the pouring component. This is complex and expensive, which is particularly important because such refractories Pour molded parts are wearing parts.

Aus der EP 0 487 924 A3 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von keramischen Form- und/oder Profilkörpern für den Hochtemperaturbereich, insbesondere bei metallurgischen Stranggießanlagen bekannt, bei welchem eine keramische Mischung geformt und einer thermischen Behandlung unterworfen wird. Um den für die thermische Behandlung und eine Aufheizung des Form- und/oder Profilkörpers am Einsatzort nötigen Gesamtaufwand zu verringern, wird die thermische Behandlung zumindest teilweise am Einsatzort mittels einer Aufheizvorrichtung durchgeführt, mittels der am Einsatzort auch die Vorheizung des Form- und/oder Profilkörpers vorgenommen wird. Hierzu kann bspw. ein Induktor verwendet werden, in welchen der Formkörper eingesetzt wird. Die thermische Behandlung und Aufheizung kann dort auch mittels eines, insbesondere elektrischen, Heizelements der Aufheizvorrichtung durch Wärmestrahlung und/oder Wärmeleitung erfolgen, wobei das Heizelement den Form- und/oder Profilkörper umgreift und/oder in ihn eingesetzt ist.EP 0 487 924 A3 describes a process for the production of ceramic molded and / or profile bodies for the high temperature range, especially in the case of metallurgical continuous casting plants known in which a ceramic mixture molded and subjected to thermal treatment. Around the for the thermal treatment and heating of the Molded and / or profiled body required total effort at the site to reduce the thermal treatment at least partly on site using a heating device carried out by means of the preheating on site the molded and / or profile body is made. This can For example, an inductor can be used in which the shaped body is used. The thermal treatment and heating can there also by means of a, in particular electrical, heating element the heating device by heat radiation and / or Conduction takes place, the heating element taking the form and / or engages around profile body and / or is inserted into it.

Aus der US-PS 3 435 992 ist ein Form- und/oder Profilkörper als Tülle für einen Ausguss eines metallurischen Gefäßes bekannt. Danach wird am Einsatzort der Ausguss aufgeheizt, wofür eine elektrische Beheizung vorgesehen ist. Für den Fall, dass der Ausguss elektrisch leitfähig ist, kann die Erwärmung mittels einer Induktionsspule induktiv erfolgen. Es kann auch eine kapazitive bzw. dielektrische Beheizung des Ausgusses vorgesehen sein. Außerdem ist auch eine Widerstandsbeheizung möglich.From US-PS 3 435 992 is a molded and / or profile body as a spout for a spout of a metallurgical vessel known. Then the spout is heated up at the place of use, for which an electric heating is provided. In the case, that the spout is electrically conductive can cause heating done inductively by means of an induction coil. It can also capacitive or dielectric heating of the spout be provided. There is also resistance heating possible.

Aus der US-PS 1 607 264, der US-PS 2 227 866 und der US-PS 2 806 117 ist es an sich bekannt, Formteile, welche einen kanalförmigen Innenraum aufweisen, induktiv aufzuheizen, wobei in den Innenraum ein Inneninduktor eingebracht wird. From US-PS 1 607 264, US-PS 2 227 866 and US-PS 2 806 117 it is known per se, molded parts, which have a channel-shaped interior to be heated inductively, an inner inductor being introduced into the interior.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein rasches, sicheres und gleichmäßiges Aufheizen des feuerfesten Formteils zu er möglichen.The object of the invention is a fast, safe and even heating of the refractory molded part possible.

Erfindungsgemäß ist diese Aufgabe bei einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is in a method of type mentioned at the outset with the features of claim 1 solved.

Dabei erfolgt ein rasches und gleichmäßiges Aufheizen des feuerfesten Bauteils, das bspw. ein Eintauchausguss oder ein Rohr eines Rohr-in-Rohr-Auslasssystems ist, mit dem der Schmelzenausfluss unterbrechbar und/oder steuerbar bzw. regelbar ist. Ein äußerer Metallmantel des Formteils beeinträchtigt die Aufheizung nicht. Aufgrund der elektrischen und thermischen Isolierung der Induktionsspule gegenüber dem Formteil werden nicht nur elektrische Kurzschlüssse sondern auch eine Überhitzung des Inneninduktors vermieden. Durch die Erfindung ist eine erhöhte Anlagenverfügbarkeit erreicht, weil Einfrierprobleme vermieden werden. Das Verfahren eignet sich nicht nur zum Aufheizen beim Angießen, sondern auch zum Aufheizen bei Gießunterbrechungen, um das Formteil auf einer geeigneten Temperatur zu halten. This is a quick and even heating of the refractory component, for example an immersion nozzle or a Pipe of a pipe-in-pipe outlet system with which the Melt outflow interruptible and / or controllable or is adjustable. An outer metal jacket of the molding affects heating up not. Because of the electrical and thermal insulation of the induction coil from the Molded parts are not only electrical short circuits but overheating of the internal inductor also avoided. Through the Invention, increased plant availability is achieved because Freezing problems can be avoided. The procedure is suitable not only for heating while pouring, but also for Heating in the event of interruptions in the casting process around the molded part maintain a suitable temperature.

Bei der Durchführung des Verfahrens wird als Inneninduktor vorzugsweise eine gekühlte, vorwiegend wendelförmige Induktionsspule verwendet.When performing the process is called an internal inductor preferably a cooled, predominantly helical induction coil used.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen und der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels.Advantageous refinements of the invention result from the further subclaims and the following description of an embodiment.

Die Figur zeigt einen Eintauchausguss für ein metallurgisches Gefäß mit einem erfindungegemäß eingesetzten Inneninduktor.The figure shows an immersion nozzle for a metallurgical Vessel with an internal inductor used according to the invention.

Ein in seiner Form an sich bekannter Eintauchausguss (Tauchgießrohr) ist ein feuerfestes Formteil 1 aus einem keramischen, kohlenstoffhaltigen Material, das induktiv an ein elektrisches Wechselfeld mit der Folge einer Aufheizung ankoppelbar ist. Der Eintauchausguss weist einen rohrförmigen, zylindrischen Innenraum 2 auf. Der Eintauchausguss ist in einem äußeren Teilbereich mit einem metallischen Außenmantel 3 versehen. Der metallische Außenmantel 3 schirmt elektromagnetische Felder gegenüber dem Eintauchausguss ab, so dass der Eintauchausguss mit einer äußeren Induktionsspule nicht gleichmäßig aufheizbar wäre.An immersion nozzle known per se in its form (immersion nozzle) is a fire-resistant molded part 1 made of a ceramic, carbonaceous material that is inductive to one alternating electric field resulting in heating can be coupled. The immersion spout has a tubular, cylindrical interior 2. The immersion nozzle is in an outer section with a metallic outer jacket 3 provided. The metallic outer jacket 3 shields electromagnetic Fields opposite the immersion spout, so that the immersion spout with an external induction coil is not would be evenly heated.

In dem in der Figur dargestellten Zustand ist in den rohrförmigen, zylindrischen Innenraum 2 ein Inneninduktor 4 eingeschoben. Der Inneninduktor 4 weist eine gekühlte, wendelförmige Induktionsspule 5 auf, die an einen Generator 6 angeschlossen ist. Die Induktionsspule 5 ist dabei in ihren Abmessungen, insbesondere in ihrer Länge dem Innenraum 2 so angepasst, dass sie sich möglichst über die gesamte Länge des Innenraums 2 erstreckt. Außerdem ist ihr Durchmesser an den Durchmesser des Innenraumes 2 angepasst. In the state shown in the figure, the tubular, cylindrical interior 2, an inner inductor 4 inserted. The inner inductor 4 has a cooled, helical Induction coil 5, which is connected to a generator 6 is. The induction coil 5 is in their Dimensions, in particular the length of the interior 2 adjusted so that they are as possible over the entire length of the Interior 2 extends. In addition, their diameter is on the Adjusted the diameter of the interior 2.

Die Oberfläche des Innenraums 2 ist gegenüber der Induktionsspule 5 mit einer Schicht 13, bspw. einer keramischen Glasur, elektrisch und thermisch isoliert, damit der Eintauchausguss nicht mit elektrische Spannung führenden Teilen in Berührung kommt und/oder keine zonale Überhitzung erfolgt.The surface of the interior 2 is opposite the induction coil 5 with a layer 13, for example a ceramic glaze, electrically and thermally insulated so that the immersion spout not in contact with live parts comes and / or there is no zonal overheating.

Die Außenfläche der Induktionsspule 5 ist mittels eines Rohrabschnitts 7 gegenüber der Oberfläche des Innenraumes 2 elektrisch und thermisch isoliert.The outer surface of the induction coil 5 is by means of a Pipe section 7 opposite the surface of the interior 2 electrically and thermally insulated.

Vorteilhaft ist auch, die Induktionsspule 5 unterschiedlichen Geometrien oder Wandstärken dergestalt anzupassen, dass verschiedene Abstände zwischen der Induktionsspule 5 und den Oberflächen der aufzuheizenden Bereiche bestehen. Mit dieser Maßnahme werden unterschiedliche Energiedichten in dem Formteil 1 erzeugt, was die Gleichmäßigkeit der Aufheizung bei unterschiedlichen Wandstärken verbessert. Der Rohrabschnitt 7 ist entsprechend zu gestalten.It is also advantageous that the induction coil 5 different Adapt geometries or wall thicknesses in such a way that different distances between the induction coil 5 and the Surfaces of the areas to be heated exist. With this Measure different energy densities in the measure Molding 1 produces what the uniformity of heating different wall thicknesses improved. The pipe section 7 is to be designed accordingly.

Der Rohrabschnitt 7 dient auch der Zentrierung des Induktionsspule 5 im Innenraum 2. Der Rohrabschnitt 7 ist auf die Induktionsspule 5 reibschlüssig aufgeschoben, so dass er im Bedarfsfall auswechselbar ist. Der Außendurchmesser des Rohrabschnitts 7 ist so an den Innendurchmesser des Innenraums 2 angepasst, dass er mit der Induktionsspule 5 leicht in den Innenraum 2 einschiebbar und aus dem Innenraum 2 herausziehbar ist. Die Gestaltung kann jedoch auch so getroffen sein, dass zunächst der Rohrabschnitt 7 in den Innenraum 2 und dann die Induktionsspule 5 in den Rohrabschnitt 7 einzuschieben ist. The pipe section 7 also serves to center the induction coil 5 in the interior 2. The pipe section 7 is on the Induction coil 5 frictionally pushed on, so that it is in Is exchangeable if necessary. The outside diameter of the Pipe section 7 is so on the inside diameter of the interior 2 adapted that he easily with the induction coil 5 in the Interior 2 can be pushed in and pulled out of interior 2 is. However, the design can also be such that first the pipe section 7 into the interior 2 and then the Induction coil 5 is inserted into the tube section 7.

Der Rohrabschnitt 7 weist oben zur Begrenzung des Einschiebens einen Flansch 8 auf. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist er unten durch einen Boden 9 verschlossen.The pipe section 7 has at the top to limit insertion a flange 8. In the embodiment, it is below closed by a bottom 9.

Um den Eintauchausguss auch in seinem erweiterten Kopfbereich 10 aufzuheizen, ist die Induktionsspule 5 oberhalb des Flansches 8 mit einer zusätzlichen Windung 11 versehen.The immersion spout also in its extended head area 10 to heat, the induction coil 5 is above Flange 8 provided with an additional turn 11.

Der Rohrabschnitt 7 besteht aus einem hochhitzebeständigen, keramischen Faser- oder Schaummaterial.The pipe section 7 consists of a highly heat-resistant, ceramic fiber or foam material.

Es ist nicht notwendig, dass der Rohrabschnitt 7 sich über die gesamte Länge der Induktionsspule 5 erstreckt. Es können auch zwei oder mehrere Rohrabschnitte in der Länge der Induktionsspule 5 verteilt vorgesehen sein.It is not necessary that the pipe section 7 extends over the entire length of the induction coil 5 extends. It can too two or more pipe sections in the length of the induction coil 5 distributed.

Der Rohrabschnitt 7 bzw. die Rohrabschnitte müssen nicht aus dem Innenraum 2 herausziehbar sein. Es ist auch möglich, den Rohrabschnitt 7 bzw. die Rohrabschnitte als Auskleidung des Innenraums 2 zu gestalten, welche dann bei der ersten Verwendung durch die Schmelze zersetzt wird.The pipe section 7 or the pipe sections do not have to the interior 2 can be pulled out. It is also possible that Pipe section 7 or the pipe sections as the lining of the To design interior 2, which then at the first Use by the melt is decomposed.

Um zu vermeiden, dass der Eintauchausguss beim Aufheizen Wärme nach außen abstrahlt, d.h. verliert, kann er mit einer Außenisolierung 12, vorzugsweise aus keramischem Fasermaterial oder keramischem Schaum versehen sein. Dies verbessert die rasche und gleichmäßige Aufheizung des Eintauchausgusses. To avoid the immersion spout from heating when heating radiates to the outside, i.e. loses, he can with one External insulation 12, preferably made of ceramic fiber material or ceramic foam. This improves the rapid and even heating of the immersion nozzle.

Soll der Eintauchausguss aufgeheizt werden, dann wird der Inneninduktor 4 mit seinem Rohrabschnitt 7 in den Innenraum 2 eingeschoben und der Generator 6 wird eingeschaltet. Dadurch wird der Eintauchausguss im Wesentlichen über seine gesamte Länge rasch und gleichmäßig induktiv aufgeheizt. Nach Erreichen der Solltemperatur wird der Inneninduktor 4 aus dem Eintauchausguss herausgezogen. Dieser steht dann vorgeheizt für den Gießbetrieb bereit. Der Inneninduktor 4 lässt sich für viele Aufheizvorgänge an vielen Eintauchausgüssen verwenden. Seine Einsatzmöglichkeit ist dadurch vom Verschleiß des Eintauchausgusses unabhängig. Der Rohrabschnitt 7 lässt sich, wenn er verschlissen ist, von der Induktionsspule 5 abziehen und durch einen neuen Rohrabschnitt ersetzen. Bei unterschiedlichen Innendurchmessern von Eintauchausgüssen können Rohrabschnitte 7 mit entsprechend unterschiedlichen Außendurchmessern bereitgehalten werden. Es ist dadurch möglich, die Induktionsspule 5 auch bei unterschiedlichen Innenraumdurchmessern jeweils koaxial zentriert einzuschieben.If the immersion spout is to be heated, then the Inner inductor 4 with its tube section 7 in the interior 2 inserted and the generator 6 is switched on. Thereby the immersion spout is essentially over its entire length Length quickly and evenly inductively heated. To The internal inductor 4 is reached from the Immersion spout pulled out. This is then preheated ready for casting. The inner inductor 4 can be used for use many heating processes on many immersion spouts. Its possible use is therefore due to the wear of the Immersion spout independent. The pipe section 7 can be if it is worn, pull it off the induction coil 5 and replace with a new pipe section. With different Inner diameters of immersion spouts Pipe sections 7 with correspondingly different outside diameters be kept ready. It is possible the induction coil 5 even with different interior diameters insert each coaxially centered.
