Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slide plate for a slide closure on metallurgical melting vessels.
  • Slide plates which are understood to mean both plates for linear slides and rotary valves, have been used for decades to control the outflow of metallurgical melting vessels, for example pans or so-called intermediate containers (tundish).
  • Such slide closures consist for example of two plates, a fixed and a movable plate. Both Plates have at least one flow passage for an associated molten metal, the opening being perpendicular to the main surfaces of the plates.
  • the plates are movable relative to each other so that corresponding openings of the plates can be offset, partially overlapping or aligned with each other to adjust the mass of the melt passed therethrough or to interrupt the melt flow.
  • the wall portion of the flow openings wears in the course of use.
  • a commonly used method is to encase a prefabricated insert body with a refractory hydraulic mass (a concrete). In this way, almost any insert geometries can be used. During the heating, however, the hydraulic bond of the matrix material of the main body loses at least part of its strength. Only at temperatures well above 1000 ° C, a solid ceramic bond is generated. In this context, a "strength hole" is used, usually around 900 ° C. When using the slide plate, a strong temperature gradient forms between the area of the passage opening and the edge of the plate. In the region of the passage opening, the refractory material approximately assumes the temperature of the liquid steel (for example 1,600 ° C.). At the edge of the plate, the temperature is much lower. Inevitably, this creates areas inside the panel that are only heated up to the "strength hole" (about 900 ° C). The wear of these plates is correspondingly high.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a slide plate for a slide closure on a metallurgical melting vessel, which has a wear-resistant insert in the region of the passage opening for the molten metal, wherein the slide plate is to be produced in a simple process and on her total volume as constant as possible high strength (wear resistance) has.
  • the invention is based on the cited prior art, in which the use is fixed in situ during compression of a refractory matrix material surrounding the insert for the base body in this.
  • the insert is described below as “annular” this may be “exactly annular", resulting in a circular shape of the outer peripheral portion of the insert.
  • the term also includes forms in which the insert, stepped in the axial direction of its opening between opposite end faces, outside, that is designed with different outer diameters or designed with a conical peripheral surface.
  • Ring-shaped also includes unbalanced circumferential shapes and an off-center arrangement of the opening. In this respect, ring-shaped only relies on the insert having an opening for carrying out the molten metal.
  • a space is formed between the insert and the base body, usually in the form of an annular gap between the circumferential surface of the insert and the corresponding surface of the base body, which at least partially prevents a frictional connection between the two.
  • This space (gap) can also be multi-part.
  • the invention relates to a slide plate for a slide closure on a metallurgical melting vessel, having the features of claim 1.
  • the mentioned sections between insert and body, in which there is no positive connection between the two parts, are usually extremely narrow and have a width of usually ⁇ 100 microns, often ⁇ 10 microns. Such a narrow space (gap) can obviously not be filled with a mortar or the like. However, the use of a (liquid) impregnating agent makes it possible to fill this cavity (these cavities) and in this way to connect the two parts together.
  • the space can be filled with a carbonaceous impregnating agent.
  • a carbonaceous impregnating agent may be, for example, a substance from the group: coal tar pitch, petrol pitch, phenolic resin.
  • the slide plate After removal from the press, the slide plate is impregnated (impregnated) with such a substance and then tempered on the plate Temperatures between 200 and 700 ° C, so coked the impregnating agent and solidifies, creating the desired frictional connection between the annular insert and the surrounding body.
  • the gap or gaps between the two components are thus connected by means of a continuous carbon layer.
  • the impregnation can be limited to the aforementioned transition region between insert and body. But it is also possible to choose the impregnation range larger, up to the impregnation of the entire plate.
  • the impregnation has the additional advantage that the overall tightness of the board in the impregnated area is increased and its sliding properties are improved.
  • the impregnation can be optimized if both the use and the material of the main body before impregnation have an open porosity between 5 and 20% by volume.
  • the open porosity of the body will usually be higher than that of the insert, since the insert is already used as a preformed, usually pre-pressed part.
  • Base body has a width ⁇ 70 microns, for example between 20 and 70 microns. This can be adjusted, for example, by selecting the grain size for the insert or the base body.
  • the base body can optionally also be created by casting.
  • the gap is then usually slightly higher, so that the width of the space (gap) between the insert and the base plate before impregnation and after any drying of the plate may be greater than the mentioned 100 microns.
  • the features described in the prior art in terms of material selection can also be transferred to the slide plate according to the invention.
  • the use will usually have a higher wear resistance than the main body. This can be used for the body cheaper material qualities, which reduces the price of the slide plate as a whole.
  • insert and body are made of different refractory ceramic materials.
  • a suitable material for use is a material based on ZrO 2 .
  • materials based on Al 2 O 3 can be used for the main body.
  • the slide plate can be prepared by different methods, as explained above, a method has proved advantageous in which a pre-pressed, annular insert made of a refractory ceramic material in a pressing process in a base made of a refractory ceramic material, demoulded, and the thus formed slide plate is then soaked and tempered in the transition region between the insert and the base body with an impregnating agent, as claimed in claim 9.
  • a fired annular insert of MgO stabilized zirconia was placed in a press mold.
  • the insert was then surrounded with an alumina-based molding compound in such an amount that the molding compound (to form the body) projects beyond the upper face of the insert, to an extent such that after the subsequent pressing operation the upper face of the main body is aligned with the upper end face of the insert.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in the sharp transition between insert 1 and the base body 2, an approximately 5 micron wide layer 3 of coked coal tar pitch is microscopically detectable.
  • This filling layer creates a frictional connection between the insert and the envelope (main body).
  • the insert is thus securely and reliably fixed relative to the body.
  • the slide plate could be tested together with a slide plate of the same construction to form a slide closure system. Six batches of steel were cast without the insert losing its non-positive connection in the main body.
  • the plate 10 is placed horizontally on a ring 12, wherein the insert 14 does not rest.
  • the insert 14 has an outer diameter of 130 mm, an inner diameter of the bore of 80 mm and is 15 mm thick. From above, the plate at six points 16, which lie at a uniform angular distance on an imaginary circle, to the top 140 of the insert 14 is drilled. A punch 18 with six corresponding pressure cylinders 20 is now inserted into the holes. The force was measured at which the insert 14 is destroyed or breaks out of the plate 10.
  • the insert can extend over the entire height of the slide plate (perpendicular to the main surfaces). Likewise, it is also possible to graduate the outer diameter of the insert ring, corresponding to a corresponding gradation of the surrounding body. In this way, an additional mechanical security is created, that the ring rests securely on use on a corresponding collar of the base plate and can not be solved in the flow direction of the molten metal.
