Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for tapping metal melts, preferably steel melts, from metallurgical melting vessels, such as electric arc furnaces, through a tap opening arranged in the bottom of the vessel, the metal melt being covered with slag melt at the time of tapping.
- a vortex forms from the tap opening and runs obliquely to the vessel wall.
- a hollow vortex ultimately develops, which also captures and swirls parts of the slag melt floating on the molten metal, so that the originally existing separation between molten metal and molten slag is no longer present and slag melt is discharged downwards together with the molten metal through the tap opening.
- the oxidic slag conveyed into the melting pan with the molten metal in this way brings oxygen with it and leads, for example, to Increased consumption of aluminum for the required deoxidation, synthetic slag for the absorption of the oxides and calcium for the modification of the oxide inclusions.
- the oxidation product alumina (Al 2 0 3 ) deteriorates the casting properties and the oxygen from the FeO in the slag furthermore makes desulphurization and degassing more difficult.
- the slag melt can also come into direct contact with the tap opening. This slag run-on occurs when, when tilting back in the case of tiltable metallurgical vessels, for example in the case of electric arc furnaces, despite high Tilting speed, the slag melt flows back quickly beyond the metal melt.
- the measure according to the invention of arranging at least one nozzle in the immediate vicinity of the tap opening, through which a neutral gas or a corresponding gas mixture is blown into the metallurgical melting vessel in a jet with high pulse energy removes the slag melt from the metal melt surface in the area of the tap opening (blown away) ). This ensures that, despite the formation of a vortex in the molten metal, slag tracking can no longer take place and slag tracking is also successfully prevented by this process by means of the correspondingly powerful gas jet.
- the strength and the rate of injection of the gas jet is regulated by a valve station which is connected to a compressed gas container or a compressed gas generation system.
- a gas or gas mixture is used which is neutral with respect to the further use and processing of the molten metal, such as a noble gas.
- the valve station is connected to a measuring and control system by means of which the start time, the duration and the intensity of the gas injection are automatically monitored and regulated.
- a measuring and control system by means of which the start time, the duration and the intensity of the gas injection are automatically monitored and regulated.
- one or more nozzles are arranged in the area of the tap opening in such a way that complete removal of the slag layer from the metal surface is certainly achieved.
- the size, shape, number and arrangement (in the side vessel wall and / or in the vessel lid, angle to the vessel bottom) of the nozzles are adapted to the size and design of the metallurgical vessel and the size of the bath surface, the nozzle outlet openings being above and / or below the Bath mirror can be.
- Fig. 2 is a partial section of a metallurgical vessel in vertical section
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the device according to the invention.
- a metallurgical vessel 5 is shown at the time of tapping.
- This exemplary embodiment is a conventional electric arc furnace, the electrodes not being shown.
- the left-hand oriel there is a tap opening 10 in the vessel bottom 13 through which the molten metal 2 flows into a melting pan 11 with a pouring jet 6 arranged below the metallurgical vessel 5.
- the melting pan 11 is located on a pan carriage 8 or the weighing cells 7 arranged there, by means of which the amount of metal flowing into the melting pan 11 can be detected continuously.
- the slag melt 1 floats above the molten metal 2, into which the vortex 4 generated by the tapping process extends almost to the bath level 15.
- two nozzles 3 are arranged in the lateral vessel wall 12, the nozzle outlet openings 14 of which are directed here against the slag layer 1 from above and from below.
- the gas supply lines 25 (FIG. 3), through which the nozzles 3 are acted upon by the gas to be injected, and also the valve station 16 (FIG. 3) and the measuring and control system 20 (FIG. 3) are not shown in FIG. 1.
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged section of the tapping part of the melting vessel 5, which is in a tilted position.
- a nozzle 3 is arranged in the lateral vessel wall 12 almost parallel to the vessel bottom 13 and inclined slightly upwards.
- the gas jet 9 pushes the slag melt 1 above the metal melt 2 back from the tap opening 10 to such an extent that the slag melt no longer comes into contact with the vortex 4 and slag entrainment or slag follow-up through the tap hole 10 cannot be done.
- FIG 3 is shown in a block diagram, in which way Melting vessel 5 is functionally connected to the valve station 16 and the measuring and control system 20.
- the measuring pulses obtained on the weighing cells 7 due to the pouring jet 6 flowing into the melting pan 11 and the measuring pulses (tilting position, melting bath height) recorded on the melting vessel 5 are fed into the measuring and control system 20 via the measuring lines 19, 22. From this measuring and control system 20, the control pulses required for controlling the compressed gas are then sent to the valve station 16 via the control line 21.
- the pressurized gas from a pressurized gas container 18 and / or from a pressurized gas generation system 17 via the supply lines 23, 24 at the valve station 16 is then blown into the metallurgical melting vessel 5 via the gas supply 25 and controlled by the measuring and control system 20.
- the invention is not limited to the metallurgical vessels (electric arc furnaces / EAF) shown in the drawing figures, but can also be used in other metallurgical vessels in which the tap opening is in the bottom of the vessel and in which there is a risk of slag running or running through the tap opening during of the racking.
