Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mold flux and a continuous casting method using the mold flux, and more particularly, to a continuous casting method using a molten mold flux.
  • a pre-treating process of a molten iron, a converter refining process, a secondary refining process and a continuous casting process are sequentially performed in a general steelmaking method.
  • molten steel is supplied from a ladle, and then passes through a tundish 1 for storing the molten steel, a submerged nozzle 2, and a mold 3.
  • the molten steel is then cooled in a mold 3 by cooling effect thereof, and forms a solidified shell 5.
  • the solidified shell 5, which is formed by cooling the molten steel, is solidified by secondary cooling water sprayed through spray nozzles while being guided by guide rollers provided below the mold, whereby a complete solid cast piece is manufactured.
  • mold flux used as an additional substance is also supplied to the mold.
  • mold flux is supplied to the mold in a solid form such as powder or granule, and then melted by the heat of the molten steel supplied to the mold.
  • the mold flux controls the heat transfer between the molten steel and the mold, and improves lubrication performance.
  • the function of the mold flux in a continuous casting mold 10 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 .
  • the mold flux which is supplied to a mold 10 in the form of powder or granule, is melted on the surface of molten steel 12, and sequentially forms a liquid layer 21, a sintered layer 23, and a powder layer 25 (that is, a molten slag layer 21, a semi-molten layer 23, and an unmelted layer 25) in this order from the surface of molten steel.
  • the molten slag layer 21 is substantially transparent, the molten slag layer easily transmits radiation waves that are radiated from the molten steel 12 and have a wavelength in the range of 500 to 4000 nm.
  • the semi-molten layer 23 and the unmelted layer 25 are optically opaque, the semi-molten layer and the unmelted layer shield the radiation waves so as to prevent the temperature on the surface of the molten steel from being rapidly lowered.
  • the conventional mold flux in the form of powder or granule is melted by the heat of the molten steel 12. Then, the molten slag layer 21 flows between the mold 10 and a solidified shell 11. The molten slag layer is solidified on the inner wall of the mold 10, so that a solid slag film 27 is formed on the inner wall of the mold and a liquid slag film 21 is formed adjacent to the molten steel 12. Accordingly, the mold flux controls heat transfer between the molten steel 12 and the mold 10, and improves lubrication performance.
  • the mold flux which is attached to the mold 10 at a position where the molten slag flows between the solid slag film 27 and the solidified shell 11, protrudes toward the inside of the mold 10.
  • the mold flux protruding toward the inside of the mold is called a slag bear 29.
  • the slag bear 29 prevents molten slag from flowing between the mold flux film 27 and the solidified shell 11.
  • the mold flux consumption per unit area of the cast piece is limited due to the slag bear 29.
  • the mold flux consumption decreases. For this reason, the lubrication performance deteriorates between the cast piece and the mold, the occurrence of break-out increases.
  • the thickness of liquid mold flux becomes irregular due to the slag bear 29, the shape of the solidified shell becomes irregular in the mold 10 and surface cracks are caused, which gets worse as the casting speed increases.
  • the molten mold flux is substantially transparent in the wavelength range of 500 to 4000 nm as described above, the molten mold flux easily transmits radiation waves emitted from the molten steel, thereby increasing radiation heat transfer. Accordingly, it is not possible to keep temperature of the surface of the molten steel. For this reason, when a predetermined time elapses in the casting process, the surface of the molten steel is solidified. Therefore, the continuous casting process cannot be smoothly performed.
  • Mold flux compositions are known from KR 2002 0052121 A , JP 07 185 755 A , Slag Atlas 2nd Edition 1995, Verlag Stahleisen GmbH and JP 01 075157 A .

  • the mean amount of transferred heat is increased by controlling a thermal conductivity depending on the composition of a mold flux. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent break-out from occurring, to effectively control heat transfer between molten steel and a mold, and improve lubrication performance.
  • FIG. 3 is a view showing the schematic structure of a continuous casting machine using a molten mold flux.
  • a continuous casting machine includes a mold 10, a submerged nozzle 30 for supplying molten steel to the mold 10, a mold cover 100 for covering an upper portion of the mold 10, a mold flux melting unit 200 for melting a mold flux that is to be supplied to the mold, and a mold flux feeding unit 300 for feeding a molten mold flux 20, which is melted by the mold flux melting unit 200, to the mold 10.
  • the mold cover 100 Since the mold cover 100 is provided on the upper surface of the mold 10 so as to cover the entire surface of molten steel, the mold cover prevents radiation waves from being radiated from the surface of molten steel 12 to the outside.
  • an inner surface of the mold cover 100 that is, a surface of the mold cover facing the molten steel is made of a material having high reflexibility, such as an aluminum mirror or a gold-coated mirror. Accordingly, the mold cover reflects the radiation waves radiated from the surface of molten steel 12 so that the radiation waves are absorbed into the molten mold flux 20 or the surface of molten steel 12. As a result, it is possible to minimize the drop in temperature of the surface of molten steel 12 and to prevent the molten mold flux 20 from being, solidified again on the wall of the mold 10.
  • the mold flux melting unit 200 includes a mold flux supplier 205, a crucible 210 for receiving a mold flux raw material supplied from the mold flux supplier 205 in a form of provisionally molten liquid, granule, a mold flux heater 220 such as a heating coil that is provided around the crucible 210 to melt the mold flux, an outlet 230 through which the molten mold flux appropriately melted in the crucible 210 is discharged, and a stopper 240 for opening or closing the outlet 230 to control the amount of the molten mold flux to be discharged.
  • the stopper 240 is moved up and down above the outlet 230 to adjust a distance between an edge of the outlet 230 and a lower end of the stopper 240. Accordingly, the stopper controls the amount of the molten mold flux to be discharged. In this case, the up and down movement of the stopper 240 is accurately controlled by a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (not shown).
  • the feeding unit 300 includes an injection pipe 310 and an injection pipe heater 320 such as a heating coil.
  • One end of the injection pipe 310 is connected to the mold flux melting unit 200.
  • an inject ion nozzle 312 which penetrates the mold cover 100 and supplies the molten mold flux 20 to the mold, is provided at the other end of the injection pipe.
  • the injection pipe heater 320 is provided around the injection pipe 310 between the mold flux melting unit 200 and the mold cover 100 to heat the injection pipe 310.
  • the outer portions of the injection pipe 310 and the injection pipe heater 320 may be insulated with a heat insulator in order to maintain the molten mold flux 20 at a constant temperature.
  • the mold flux melting unit 200 and the feeding unit 300 may be completely or partially made of platinum (Pt) or a platinum alloy such as platinum-rhodium (Pt-Rh). Since the mold flux should quickly melt the nonmetallic inclusions floating on the surface of molten steel in the mold during the casting, the mold flux should have a low viscosity and quickly melts oxides such as Al 2 O 3 . Accordingly, a refractory furnace used in the conventional glass industry may be quickly corroded due to the molten mold flux 20.
  • the injection pipe 310 and portions which is connected to or in contact with the injection pipe, that is, the outlet 230 through which the molten mold flux is discharged, the stopper 240, and the injection pipe 310 may be made of platinum or a platinum alloy in order to prevent the corrosion by the mold flux.
  • the flow rate of the molten mold flux is changed depending on the amount of molten steel that is supplied to the mold per unit time.
  • the stopper 240 is moved up and down to control a space between the lower end of the stopper 240 and the edge of the outlet 230. Accordingly, it is possible to accurately adjust the flow rate of the molten mold flux 20.
  • the flow rate of the molten mold flux has been controlled using the stopper in the above-mentioned embodiment.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the flow rate of the molten mold flux may be controlled by a ladle tilting method, a siphon method using pressure difference, or various members such as a sliding gate.
  • the mold flux according to the present invention contains 20 to 50 wt% of CaO, 20 to 50 wt% of SiO 2 , 20 wt% or less of Al 2 O 3 , 20 wt% or less of Na 2 O, 10 wt% or less of Li 2 O, 20 wt% or less of B 2 O 3 , and 10 wt% or less of MgO. Further, the mold flux may have a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/m.k or more.
  • CaO and SiO 2 are ingredients for forming basicity of the mold flux. If the content of CaO is larger than 50 wt% or the content of SiO 2 is smaller than 20 wt%, the viscosity of the slag significantly decreases. This results in an excessive amount of slag supplied to the molten steel, which is not desirable. In contrast, if the content of CaO is smaller than 20 wt% or the content of SiO 2 is larger than 50 wt%, the viscosity of slag significantly increases and thereby the slag supply to the molten steel becomes difficult. Therefore, lubrication performance of the mold deteriorates, and increases a possibility of break-out.
  • Al 2 O 3 is an ingredient for adjusting the viscosity of the mold flux. If the content of Al 2 O 3 is larger than 20 wt%, the viscosity of the mold flux excessively increases and the performance for absorbing nonmetallic inclusions in the molten steel deteriorates.
  • Na 2 O is an ingredient for adjusting the melting point of the mold flux, similar to Al 2 O 3 . If the content of Na 2 O is larger than 20 wt%, the melting point of the mold flux is lowered. This results in a significant decrease of viscosity and surface tension of the mold flux, and the effect, by which the mold flux is suppressed to be mixed into the molten steel, significantly deteriorates. For this reason, in order to increase the viscosity, the content of Na 2 O may be decreased and the content of Al 2 O 3 may be increased. Further, in order to decrease the viscosity, the content of Na 2 O may be increased and the content of Al 2 O 3 may be decreased.
  • Li 2 O and B 2 O 3 are ingredients for controlling the melting point and the viscosity or the thermal conductivity of the mold flux. As the contents of Li 2 O and B 2 O 3 are increased, the melting point and the viscosity are decreased and the thermal conductivity is increased. However, if the contents of Li 2 O and B 2 O 3 are excessively large, the melting point and the viscosity of the mold flux also become excessively decreased and the mold flux may be easily mixed into the molten steel. Accordingly, the content of Li 2 O may be 10 wt% or less and the content of B 2 O 3 may be 20 wt% or less.
  • MgO has an effect similar to CaO, but the effect of MgO per unit weight is smaller than that of CaO per unit weight.
  • the content of MgO may be 10 wt% or less.
  • the embodiment of the present invention it is possible to adjust the amount of transferred heat required for securing the quality of cast pieces and to perform a stable continuous casting process during the continuous casting using the mold flux, by controlling the thermal conductivity of the mold flux. Accordingly, if the thermal conductivity of the mold flux according to the embodiment of the present invention is controlled to be 1.2 W/m.k or more as described above, it is possible to increase the mean amount of transferred heat and to prevent break-out from occurring during the continuous casting.
  • the thermal conductivity of a vitreous mold flux is increased. Accordingly, it is possible to control the composition of the mold flux so that the mold flux has a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/m.k or more.
  • the basicity (CaO/SiO 2 ) is decreased, the chain structure of SiO 2 is grown, phonons easily move, and the thermal conductivity increases.
  • a molten mold flux process using the above-mentioned mold flux is applied to a continuous casting process. That is, after a mold flux is completely melted outside a mold by the above-mentioned continuous casting machine, the molten mold flux is periodically and continuously injected into the mold while a flow rate of the molten mold flux is controlled.
  • the molten mold flux process is applied to the continuous casting process, it is possible to remove a slag bear. Further, since mold flux consumption is increased, the thickness of a mold flux film is increased and heat transfer is suppressed. Further, since early slow cooling is achieved, it is possible to prevent surface solidification of the molten steel and to decrease defects such as surface cracks. Furthermore, since the mold flux having an improved thermal conductivity is used as described above, the mean amount of transferred heat is increased. That is, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of break-out by increasing the thickness of a solidified shell.

  • the first to third comparative examples and the first example were obtained from slab casting. Slab casting was performed using the mold fluxes having the compositions shown in Table 1 and a mold that has a width of 1012 mm and a thickness of 140 mm.
  • the type of steel was an extra-low carbon steel having a carbon concentration of 60 ppm.
  • the first example and the first comparative example were obtained as follows: after a mold flux was completely melted outside a mold, the molten mold flux was injected into the mold by using a flow rate control device in the form of a stopper. When the molten mold flux was injected into the mold, the temperature of the molten mold flux was 1300°C. When molten steel was filled in the mold before the beginning of casting, the thickness of the molten pool was increased up to a target thickness. As the casting started, the mold was covered with a mold cover. Next, as the casting was performed, molten mold flux was continuously supplied to the mold so as to supplement the consumed molten mold flux.
  • the mold cover is made of aluminum, and the surfaces of the mold cover have a mean reflexibility of 85% against infrared rays in the range of 500 to 4000 nm corresponding to radiation waves of molten steel.
  • the second and third comparative examples were obtained as follows: like a general process using powder mold flux, when molten steel was filled in the mold before the beginning of casting, a powder mold flux was injected into molten steel and then the casting began to be performed. During the casting, a powder mold flux was supplied as needed to the mold so as to supplement consumed the powder mold flux.
  • the mold flux consumption in the first example is significantly increased as compared to the second and third comparative examples, which were obtained by applying a powder mold flux process to the continuous casting process. Therefore, it is possible to reduce friction between the mold and solidified shells.
  • the first example has a smaller ratio of the maximum amount of transferred heat to the mean amount of transferred heat as compared to the second and third comparative examples. Therefore, it can be understood that early slow cooling is achieved. This is because the maximum amount of transferred heat directly under the surface of the molten steel is decreased by injecting the molten mold flux as compared to when the powder mold flux is injected.
  • a ratio of the maximum amount of transferred heat to the mean amount of transferred heat is 2.0 to 2.5 in a general process using the powder mold flux.

  • the mean amount of transferred heat of the example whose thermal conductivity 1.30 W/m.k, is larger than that of the first comparative example whose thermal conductivity of 1.05 W/m.k. Therefore, according to the example, the thickness of a solidified shell is increased and it is possible to prevent break-out from occurring.
  • a molten mold flux which is controlled to have a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/m.k or more depending on the composition of the mold flux is used. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the surface solidification of the molten steel and to decrease surface cracks. As a result, it is possible to improve the quality of the products. Further, since the occurrence of break-out is prevented, it is possible to improve the process stability.
  • the molten mold flux is substantially transparent in the wavelength range of 500 to 4000 nm corresponding to radiation waves of molten steel. Accordingly, when the continuous casting using the molten mold flux is performed, the radiation heat radiated from the molten steel is easily transmitted through the molten mold flux, so that the surface temperature of the molten steel is not kept and is solidified. As a result, the surface temperature of the molten steel is kept using the above-mentioned mold cover or the like.

  • the radiation heat flow rate becomes large, heat loss is increased, which means that a possibility of solidifying the surface of the molten steel is increased.
  • the radiation heat flow rate on the surface of molten steel is decreased as the absorption coefficient of the mold flux is increased. That is, it is possible to improve a heat insulation effect on the surface of the molten steel by reducing heat loss from the molten steel.
  • (A) indicates heat loss on the surface of molten steel during the powder mold flux process, that is, a calculated amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a powder mold flux and to melt the powder mold flux when a powder mold flux instead of a molten mold flux at room temperature is supplied to the molten steel.
  • (B) indicates the calculated amount of heat corresponding to a condition where the surface of the molten steel is not solidified when a molten mold flux is used.
  • the surface of the molten steel is not solidified regardless of the reflexibility of the mold cover when the mold flux has an absorption coefficient of 1000/m or more. Accordingly, the absorption coefficient of the mold flux in the wavelength range of 500 to 4000 nm may be 1000/m or more.
  • the mold flux has an absorption coefficient of 1000/m or more, it is possible to prevent the surface solidification of the molten steel regardless of the reflexibility of the mold cover provided on the mold.

Further, when the basicity of the mold flux is excessively low, the viscosity is excessively increased, and lubrication performance in the mold deteriorates. Therefore, the basicity may be maintained in the range of 0.5 to 1.5.
  • the molten mold flux process is applied as described above, it is possible to increase the mold flux consumption by reducing the thickness of a slag bear.
