Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a Cooling plate with integrated coolant channels for furnaces for iron or steel production, such as Blast furnaces, from a block of copper.
  • Such cooling plates for blast furnaces are also called “staves”. She are arranged on the inside of the furnace shell and have internal Coolant channels connected to the cooling system of the shaft furnace become. The surface facing the inside of the furnace is mostly with lined with a refractory material.
  • the first attempt was to cast copper cooling plates by molding produce, the internal coolant channels through a sand core in the Mold are formed.
  • this procedure has been used in practice not proven, since the cast copper plates often voids and porosities have an extremely negative impact on the life of the panels, the molding sand is difficult to remove from the cooling channels and / or Cooling channel in the copper is poorly designed.
  • a cooling plate which consists of a forged or rolled copper block.
  • the coolant channels are blind holes that are caused by mechanical deep drilling in the rolled copper block.
  • Voids and porosities in the plate are practically excluded.
  • Manufacturing costs of these cooling plates are, however, relatively high, because in particular that Deep drilling the cooling channels is complicated, time consuming and expensive.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a method to propose with the particularly high quality Have copper cooling plates manufactured cheaper. This task is accomplished by a Method according to claim 1 solved.
  • a preform is formed by means of a continuous casting mold Continuous casting cooling plate, inserts in the casting channel of the continuous casting mold in Generate continuous channels in the preform that in the finished cooling plate form coolant channels.
  • a continuously cast Preform can then be relatively easily, without complex deep drilling, a Complete the long-length cooling plate.
  • cavities and porosities in continuous casting are far greater can be prevented more effectively than when molding.
  • the mechanical strength of a continuously cast cooling plate is much higher than that of a molded cooling plate.
  • the heat transfer is optimal because the continuously cast channels are formed directly in the cast body. Since the cross section of the continuously cast channels is not necessarily circular must be, new advantageous possibilities regarding the design and arrangement of the coolant channels opened. It was also found that the special nature of the surface of a continuous cast Cooling plate is a good basis for the adhesion of a refractory spray compound brings with it.
  • the tines in the pouring channel can Continuous casting mold in a continuous direction grooves in one surface of the preform. These grooves enlarge the cooled surface the finished cooling plate and form anchors for a refractory Lining out.
  • such grooves can also be retrofitted into one Surface of the continuously cast preform incorporated, for example be milled. This procedure is necessary, for example, if the Grooves should run transverse to the continuous casting direction.
  • the thickness is the continuously cast preform is advantageously reduced by rolling.
  • the crystal structure of the copper becomes finer, which is beneficial to the mechanical and thermal properties of the finished cooling plate.
  • the reduction in rolling increases the manufacturing cost of the cooling plate, it can therefore be advantageous to use also continuously cast preforms for thicker ones Roll cooling plates.
  • the channels cast into the preform Surprisingly, this is not a major obstacle to subsequent rolling the preform. This is especially true if the cast in Channels have an elongated, for example oval cross section.
  • the continuously cast and, if necessary, rolled preform is transformed into two Cut a plate across the casting direction, two End faces are formed transversely to the casting direction, the distance between them in essentially corresponds to the desired length of the cooling plate. It is It should be noted that it is advantageous to have several from a continuously cast preform Cooling plates of the same or different lengths can be produced. The Manufacturing particularly long cooling plates is also without additional effort possible.
  • the plates separated from the preform have several parallel through channels that extend in the casting direction and in the two ends each form a junction.
  • the cross section of the cast channels advantageously has an elongated one Form that has its smallest dimension perpendicular to the cooling plate.
  • cooling plates can be produced with a smaller plate thickness than Cooling plates with drilled channels, which saves copper.
  • channels with elongated cross sections are also easier are to be produced during continuous casting.
  • Another advantage is that at Channels with elongated cross-sections have larger exchange surfaces on the coolant side can be achieved in the cooling plate.
  • Channels with elongated (such as Example oval) cross sections behave as already above indicated, also much more advantageous when rolling the preform than channels with circular cross sections.
  • connection holes opening connection holes for preliminary and Return lines drilled perpendicular to the back surface in the plate, and the frontal openings of the channels closed.
  • Connection holes can then be used to connect the one from the furnace shell with a cooling plate mounted on the furnace shell be brought out.
  • Each continuously cast channel can have its own lead and Have return connection. Multiple continuous cast channels can however, they can also be connected to one another by means of transverse bores. This Cross bores are then arranged and closed, for example, that a serpentine channel with a flow connection and a Return connection per cooling plate results.
  • the cooling plate can advantageously be bent and centered in such a way that their curvature is adapted to the curvature of the furnace. This is especially the case when cooling plates with a large width are used. This is also the case for cooling plates that are used in the blast furnace frame. Such cooling plates for the frame must indeed be as close as possible to the Nestle tanks around the pressures acting on the frame lining to record.
  • FIG. 1 and Figure 2 show schematically the structure of a continuous casting mold 10 for the method according to the invention.
  • This continuous casting mold 10 consists of Example of four cooled mold plates 12, 14, 16 and 18, one cooled Pour 20 for a melt, for example a low alloy Form copper melt.
  • the arrows 22 and 24 in Figure 1 indicate Flow connections and return connections for a coolant in the side Form plates 12 and 14.
  • the arrow 25 in Figure 1 shows the pouring direction.
  • each of these rod-shaped inserts 28 advantageously consists of an outer tube 32 which is closed at the end and an open one at the end Inner tube 34 which are arranged such that they have an annular gap 36 for the Train coolant.
  • the coolant overflows in the collector 30 a flow chamber 38 into the annular gap 36. It cools the outer tube 32 its entire length and emerges from the annular gap 36 in the lower end Inner tube 34 a. This inner tube 34 directs the coolant into a Return chamber 40 back in the collector 30.
  • the rod-shaped inserts 28 can also be designed as uncooled graphite rods.
  • the front mold plate 16 has a plurality of tines 26 having. The latter extend essentially over the entire length of the Molding plate 16 and protrude perpendicularly to the casting direction into the pouring channel 20 inside.
  • the above-described continuous casting mold 10 is used in accordance with the invention Cast strand, which forms a preform of the cooling plate to be produced.
  • the rod-shaped inserts 28 produce in the continuous cast Preform channels running in the continuous casting direction, the cross section of which the cross section of the rod-shaped inserts 28 is determined.
  • the tines 26 in of the mold plate 18 produce in the continuously cast preform in Longitudinal grooves running in the casting direction.
  • FIGS. 3 to 4 show a finished cooling plate 50 based on a continuously cast preform.
  • the preform of the cooling plate 50 was cast with a continuous mold that had no tines 26 so that the original preform essentially had a rectangular cross section without grooves.
  • Figure 3 are with Dashed lines indicated the three channels 52 according to the invention Continuous casting through which inserts were created in the continuous casting mold. This The inserts had an oval shape, as can be seen in FIG. 5.
  • ducts 52 opened Connection holes 62 for flow and return ports 64, 66 perpendicular to Plate surface drilled in the back 68 of the plate. Before the front The mouths 58 of the channels 52 are definitely closed by plugs 70 If necessary, the channels could be mechanically reworked become. To finalize the cooling plate 50 only had to Flow and return spout 64, 66, and mounting spigot 72 and Spacer 74 are attached to the plate.
  • FIG. 6 shows an arrangement of cooling plates 80 in which the grooves 82 were produced in this way directly during continuous casting.
  • the cooling plates 80 which are produced during the continuous casting extend Cooling channels 84 (see FIG. 7) are therefore parallel to the grooves 82.
  • the cooling plates 80 are arranged horizontally in the oven, i.e. that in the built-in cooling plates 80, the cooling channels 84 and the grooves 82 horizontally run.
  • the cooling plates 80 are bent and centered such that their Curvature adapted to the curvature of the blast furnace shell (not shown) is.
  • FIG. 7 shows with dashed lines an advantageous arrangement of the coolant channels in one of the cooling plates 80.
  • Three continuously cast channels 84 1 , 84 2 and 84 3 and two short transverse bores 86 and 88 can be seen.
  • the bore 86 connects the channels 84 1 and 84 2 at one end of the plate 80 and is closed with a plug 90.
  • the bore 88 connects the channels 84 2 and 84 3 at the other end of the plate 80 and is closed with a plug 92.
