Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlelement für metallurgische Öfen, insbesondere Schachtöfen, beispielsweise Hochöfen, gemäß den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cooling element for metallurgical furnaces, in particular shaft furnaces, for example blast furnaces, according to the features in the preamble of patent claim 1.

Kühlelemente werden verwendet, um die Wand des Ofens, beispielsweise eines Hochofens vor Überhitzung zu schützen, ebenso wie vor abrasivem Verschleiß, thermomechanischen und thermochemischen Angriffen. Der Einbau von Kühlelementen am Inneren der Ofenwand reduziert oder verhindert gar solche Angriffe.Cooling elements are used to protect the wall of the oven, such as a blast furnace, from overheating, as well as from abrasive wear, thermomechanical and thermochemical attacks. The installation of cooling elements on the inside of the furnace wall reduces or even prevents such attacks.

Es sind punktuell wirkende Kühlelemente bekannt, z. B. zylindrische oder ovale Kühlrohre. Es zählen sogenannte Kühlkästen oder Kühlplatten ebenso zum Stand der Technik, wie flächendeckende Kühlelemente, sogenannte Staves, die aus verschiedenen metallischen Werkstoffen, vorzugsweise Stahl, Grauguss und Kupfer bestehen. Auch sind Kombinationen aus punktuellen und flächendeckenden Kühlelementen bekannt.There are selectively acting cooling elements known, for. B. cylindrical or oval cooling tubes. There are so-called cooling boxes or cooling plates as well as the state of the art, such as area-covering cooling elements, so-called staves, which consist of various metallic materials, preferably steel, gray cast iron and copper. Also, combinations of punctual and area-covering cooling elements are known.

Zum Schutz der Kühlelementoberflächen sind Schutzschichten vorgesehen. Diese dienen als Verschleiß- bzw. Anfahrschutz. Sie bestehen aus feuerfesten, ungeformten und geformten keramischen Materialien in unterschiedlichen Dicken bis circa 250 mm.Protective layers are provided to protect the cooling element surfaces. These serve as wear and collision protection. They are made of refractory, unshaped and shaped ceramic materials in different thicknesses up to approx. 250 mm.

Ferner sind Einsätze in Aufnahmen, die auf der dem Ofeninneren zugewandten Heißseite der Kühlplatte angeordnet sind, bekannt. Die Aufnahmen sind zumeist Nuten mit einer Hinterschneidung. In der Regel sind es schwalbenschwanzähnliche Nuten, die sowohl ungeformte als auch geformte, feuerfeste Werkstoffe, Grafit, Stahl, Stahlguss oder Graugussarten aufnehmen.Further, inserts in receptacles, which are arranged on the furnace interior facing the hot side of the cooling plate, known. The shots are mostly grooves with an undercut. As a rule, they are dovetail-like grooves which accommodate both unshaped and shaped refractory materials, graphite, steel, cast steel or gray cast iron.

Bei metallurgischen Prozessen besteht ein hoher Kostendruck bedingt durch wechselnde Rohstoffqualitäten und somit den Bedarf an flexiblen, prozess- und verfahrenstechnischen Betriebsweisen der metallurgischen Öfen, um zu wettbewerbsfähigen Gestehungspreisen pro Tonne erschmolzenen Roheisens zu kommen. Daher werden zukünftig Schachtöfen mit weiter steigenden spezifischen Leistungen einerseits, und/oder abnehmender Erz,- Koks- und Möllerqualität andererseits, betrieben. Diese Betriebsbedingungen sind nicht förderlich für die bisher bekannten Kühlelemente, insbesondere nicht für die flächendeckend eingesetzten ungeschützten Staves aus Kupfer im kohäsiven Bereich von Schachtöfen, denn sie werden verstärktem Verschleiß ausgesetzt.In metallurgical processes there is a high cost pressure due to changing raw material qualities and thus the need for flexible, process and procedural operations of the metallurgical furnaces, in order to come to competitive production prices per ton of molten pig iron. Therefore, in the future shaft furnaces with further increasing specific performances on the one hand, and / or decreasing ore, - coke and Möller quality on the other hand, operated. These operating conditions are not conducive to the previously known cooling elements, especially not for the blanket used unprotected copper staves in the cohesive range of shaft furnaces, because they are exposed to increased wear.

Stark mittengängige Betriebsweisen eines Hochofens zur Erzielung höherer spezifischer Leistungen führen beispielsweise zu Temperaturdefiziten an der inneren Hochofenperipherie, d. h. an den Kühlelementen aus Kupfer. Dies führt zum Vordringen von teilweise unreduzierten Erzen und Möllerstoffen an die Wand des Schachtofens bis in den kohäsiven Bereich z. B. von Hochöfen. Damit geht eine signifikante Steigerung des Verschleißes einher, bedingt durch Abrieb an den Kühlelementen.Strongly center-running operations of a blast furnace to achieve higher specific performance, for example, lead to temperature deficiencies at the inner blast furnace periphery, d. H. on the cooling elements made of copper. This leads to the penetration of partially unreduced ores and Möllerstoffen on the wall of the shaft furnace into the cohesive area z. B. blast furnaces. This is accompanied by a significant increase in wear due to abrasion on the cooling elements.

Die eigentliche Aufgabe der Kühlelemente, nämlich das Anfrieren einer Verschleißschutzschicht durch hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit von > 300W/mK, ist bei teilweise unreduzierten Möllerstoffen an der Kühlelement-Heißseite im Bereich der kohäsiven Zone eines Hochofens nicht mehr möglich. Aufgrund der nur geringen Abriebfestigkeit von gegossenen oder gewalzten Kühlelementen aus Kupfer kann es bereits früh zu einem voreilenden Verschleiß der Kühlplatten kommen, mit der Folge, dass kühlmittelführende Kanäle Leckagen erleiden.The actual task of the cooling elements, namely the freezing of a wear protection layer by high thermal conductivity of> 300W / mK, is no longer possible with partially unreduced Möllerstoffen on the cooling element hot side in the cohesive zone of a blast furnace. Due to the low abrasion resistance of cast or rolled copper cooling elements, it can Early lead to premature wear of the cooling plates, with the result that coolant-carrying channels suffer leaks.

Bemühungen durch Variation der Einsätze in den Aufnahmen von Kühlelementen, sowohl in der Geometrie als auch in der Werkstoffwahl, sind bisher erfolglos geblieben. Beispielsweise wurden Einsätze aus Grafit, Stahl, Stahl- und Grauguss oder feuerfesten, grobkeramisch amorphen, ungeformten und geformten Erzeugnissen der unterschiedlichen Rohstoffe verwendet.Efforts by varying the use in the images of cooling elements, both in geometry and in the choice of materials, have so far been unsuccessful. For example, inserts of graphite, steel, steel and gray cast iron or refractory, coarse ceramic amorphous, unshaped and shaped products of different raw materials were used.

All diese Werkstoffe haben gegenüber Kupfer eine vergleichsweise geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit und sind deshalb nicht in der Lage, eine Schutzschicht an der Oberfläche des Kühlelements anzufrieren. Eine Steigerung der Abriebfestigkeit durch verschiedene Einsätze in den Aufnahmen der Kühlplatte oder eine Veränderung der Beschichtung an den Kühlelementoberflächen für sich genommen hat sich als nicht zielführend herausgestellt. Speziell im unteren Bereich der kohäsiven Zone eines Schachtofens, der sogenannten Metallisierungszone, wo teilweise sehr hohe Prozess- und Betriebstemperaturen sowie hohe Wärmeströme mit überlagerten Temperatur- und Wärmestromwechsel herrschen, konnte die Abriebfestigkeit nicht hinreichend gesteigert werden.All these materials have a comparatively low thermal conductivity compared to copper and are therefore unable to freeze a protective layer on the surface of the cooling element. An increase in the abrasion resistance by various uses in the recordings of the cooling plate or a change in the coating on the cooling element surfaces taken alone has proven to be ineffective. Especially in the lower part of the cohesive zone of a shaft furnace, the so-called metallization zone, where in some cases very high process and operating temperatures and high heat flows with superimposed temperature and heat flow changes, the abrasion resistance could not be increased sufficiently.

Zum Stand der Technik ist auf die DE 20 2010 011 142 U1 hinzuweisen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, eine gekühlte Ofenwand mit Korrosionsschutzkörpern zu versehen, die aus zwei unterschiedlichen keramischen Materialien mit verschiedenen Porösitäten bestehen. Ein Grundkörper soll durch eine offen porige Siliziumkarbidkeramik, bevorzugt nitridgebundenes Siliziumkarbid gebildet werden, während das zweite keramische Material der ofeninnenseitig angeordneten plattenförmigen Bauteile durch eine dichte Siliziumkarbidkeramik, bevorzugt reaktionsgebundenes, siliziuminfiltriertes Siliziumkarbid (SiSic) gebildet wird.The state of the art is on the DE 20 2010 011 142 U1 to point. It is proposed to provide a cooled furnace wall with corrosion protection bodies consisting of two different ceramic materials with different porosities. A base body is to be formed by an open-pore silicon carbide ceramic, preferably nitride-bonded silicon carbide, while the second ceramic material of the furnace inside arranged plate-shaped components by a dense silicon carbide, preferably reaction bonded, silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSic) is formed.

Aus der NL 8700293 A ist eine Auskleidung eines Ofens mit einem feuerfesten Material bekannt, wobei das feuerfeste Material z. B. aus Grafit besteht. Das feuerfeste Material wird innen von Rohren durchzogen, durch die ein Kühlmedium geleitet wird.From the NL 8700293 A a lining of a furnace with a refractory material is known, wherein the refractory material z. B. consists of graphite. The refractory material is traversed inside by tubes through which a cooling medium is passed.

Zur Ofeninnenseite hin ist an dem feuerfesten Material ein weiterer feuerfester Werkstoff in nutförmigen Ausnehmungen angeordnet. Der Werkstoff kann Siliziumkarbid sein.Towards the inside of the furnace, a further refractory material is arranged in groove-shaped recesses on the refractory material. The material may be silicon carbide.

Die EP 0 008 261 A1 offenbart eine Auskleidung für Schmelzöfen, bei welchem in Blöcken aus Feuerfestwerkstoff innenliegende Stahlstützen eingegossen sind. Diese innenliegenden Stützen besitzen eine hohe thermische Leitfähigkeit und dienen dazu, die Wärme aus dem Inneren des Feuerfestmaterials an die Ofenwand abzugeben. Dadurch soll die Standzeit des Feuerfestmaterials verbessert werden. Durch die EP 1 069 389 A1 zählt ein wassergekühltes Kühlelement aus Metall zum Stand der Technik, bei welchem an einer dem Inneren des Ofens zugewandten Heißseite feuerfeste Profilbauteile angeordnet sind. Die feuerfesten Profilbauteile sind leicht austauschbar, wodurch die Lebensdauer des Kühlelementes insgesamt verlängert werden kann.The EP 0 008 261 A1 discloses a lining for smelting furnaces in which inside steel columns are cast in blocks of refractory material. These internal pillars have a high thermal conductivity and serve to deliver the heat from the interior of the refractory material to the furnace wall. This is intended to improve the service life of the refractory material. By the EP 1 069 389 A1 includes a water-cooled metal cooling element of the prior art, in which refractory profile components are arranged on a hot side facing the interior of the furnace.

The silicon carbides are characterized by high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance, as well as resistance to slagging and high thermal conductivity.

Aus der LU 88 629 ist eine feuerfeste Ziegelauskleidung für ein Kühlelement eines Hochofens bekannt, wobei die Ziegel mittels Befestigungsbolzen in der Kühlplatte verankert sind. Als Material für die Ziegel wird u.a. nitridisch gebundenes Siliziumkarbid vorgeschlagen.From the LU 88 629 a refractory brick lining for a cooling element of a blast furnace is known, wherein the bricks are anchored by means of fastening bolts in the cooling plate. As a material for the brick, inter alia, nitridically bonded silicon carbide is proposed.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Kühlelement aufzuzeigen, welches die Fähigkeit besitzt, Schutzschichten anzufrieren und zu erhalten und gleichzeitig eine erhöhte Abriebfestigkeit besitzt.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to provide a cooling element which has the ability to freeze and to obtain protective layers and at the same time has an increased abrasion resistance.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei einem Kühlelement mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a cooling element having the features of patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kühlelement zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es wenigstens ein Profilbauteil umfasst, das in die Aufnahmen an der Heißseite der Kühlplatte form-, kraftschlüssig oder stoffschlüssig eingesetzt ist. Ein Profilbauteil besteht zumindest teilweise aus einer Hochleistungskeramik auf Basis nicht-oxidkeramischer Werkstoffe.The cooling element according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one profile component which is inserted into the receptacles on the hot side of the cooling plate in a positive, non-positive or cohesive manner. A profile component exists at least partly from a high-performance ceramic based on non-oxide-ceramic materials.

Die sogenannten hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoffe im Sinne der Erfindung sind Werkstoffe gemäß der Norm DIN ENV 12212 (wie z. B. Silizium infiltriertes, reaktionsgebundenes Siliziumcarbid, Kürzel SBSiC). Mit diesen Werkstoffen ist es möglich, die vorgenannte Aufgabe zu lösen. Insbesondere ist es möglich, dass der Betreiber eines metallurgischen Ofens, insbesondere eines Hochofens, nicht gezwungen wird, bewährte Betriebsweisen, z. B. mittengängige Fahrweisen mit höheren spezifischen Roheisenerzeugungsraten, zugunsten von höheren Standzeiten der Kühlelemente aufzugeben bzw. zu verändern.The so-called high-performance ceramic materials in the context of the invention are materials according to the standard DIN ENV 12212 (such as, for example, silicon-infiltrated, reaction-bonded silicon carbide, abbreviation SBSiC). With these materials, it is possible to solve the above problem. In particular, it is possible that the operator of a metallurgical furnace, in particular a blast furnace, is not forced, proven modes of operation, for. B. middle-rate driving with higher specific pig iron production rates, in favor of longer life of the cooling elements give up or change.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Kühlelemente in ihrem grundsätzlichen Aufbau ebenfalls nicht verändert werden müssen. Es kommen vielmehr neuartige Profilbauteile aus zumindest teilweise, insbesondere außenseitig, hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoffen zum Einsatz. Diese Werkstoffe können im Stranggussverfahren hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise besitzen sie eine Wärmeleitzahl von mehr als 120 W/mK. Die Wärmeleitzahl liegt insbesondere in einem Bereich von 120 bis 150 W/mk. Zudem zeichnen sie sich durch hohe Feuerfestigkeit bis 1550° C aus. Gleichzeitig sind sie extrem temperaturwechselbeständig. Die Abriebfestigkeit liegt bevorzugt in einem Bereich < 0,5 cm3 (ASTM C 704).Another advantage is that the cooling elements in their basic structure also need not be changed. Rather, novel profile components from at least partially, in particular on the outside, high-performance ceramic materials are used. These materials can be produced by continuous casting. Preferably, they have a thermal conductivity of more than 120 W / mK. The thermal conductivity is in particular in a range of 120 to 150 W / mk. In addition, they are characterized by high fire resistance up to 1550 ° C. At the same time they are extremely temperature change resistant. The abrasion resistance is preferably in a range <0.5 cm 3 (ASTM C 704).

Die Summe dieser Haupteigenschaften der Hochleistungskeramik ist erforderlich, um Kühlelemente aus Kupfer, insbesondere im Bereich der kohäsiven Zone von Schachtöfen, beispielsweise von Hochöfen, einerseits unempfindlich gegen abrasiven Verschleiß zu machen und andererseits, um die Fähigkeit zu erhalten, natürliche Schutzschichten als Selbstschutz aufgrund der hohen Wärmeleitzahlen anzufrieren.The sum of these main characteristics of high performance ceramics is required to render copper cooling elements insensitive to abrasive wear, particularly in the cohesive zone of shaft furnaces such as blast furnaces, and to provide natural protective layers for self-protection due to the high levels of resistance Freeze on Wärmeleitzahlen.

Die besagten Profilbauteile aus zumindest teilweise hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoffen können nicht nur bei Kühlelementen aus gewalzten Werkstoffen, sondern auch bei gegossenen Kühlelementen zum Einsatz kommen.The said profile components made of at least partially high-performance ceramic materials can be used not only in cooling elements made of rolled materials, but also in cast cooling elements.

Die hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoffe gehören zur Gruppe der nichtoxidkeramischen Werkstoffe auf SiC-Basis.The high-performance ceramic materials belong to the group of non-oxide-ceramic materials based on SiC.

Bei den Profilbauteilen kann es sich um Voll- oder offene Profile handeln.The profile components can be full or open profiles.

Vorzugsweise handelt es sich um Hohlprofile. Ein Hohlprofil im Sinne der Erfindung ist insbesondere ein umfangsseitig geschlossenes Hohlprofil.Preferably, it is hollow profiles. A hollow profile according to the invention is in particular a circumferentially closed hollow profile.

Derartige Hohlprofile lassen sich im Stranggussverfahren einfach und dabei auch materialsparend herstellen. Es ist daher möglich, Hohlprofile zu verwenden, die innenseitig zusätzlich mit einem feuerfesten Werkstoff versehen sind. Bei dem feuerfesten Werkstoff handelt es sich insbesondere um eine selbstfließende, amorph-keramische, ungeformte feuerfeste SiC-Masse, insbesondere der zementarmen Gruppe, sogenannte LCC-Betone (LCC = low cement castables).Such hollow profiles can be produced easily in a continuous casting process and also save material. It is therefore possible to use hollow profiles, which are additionally provided on the inside with a refractory material. The refractory material is in particular a self-flowing, amorphous-ceramic, unshaped refractory SiC material, in particular the low-cement group, so-called LCC concretes (LCC = low cement castables).

Die Masse ist ebenfalls verschleißresistent und als selbstfließender Werkstoff leicht verarbeitbar, sodass Hohlräume innerhalb des Profilbauteils vollständig ausgegossen bzw. gefüllt werden können. Die Masse wird nach dem Vergießen ausgehärtet.The mass is also resistant to wear and easily processed as a self-fluxing material, so that cavities within the profile component can be completely poured or filled. The mass is cured after casting.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es aber auch möglich, mehrere Profile ineinandergeschachtelt anzuordnen. Sollte das äußere Hohlprofil beschädigt werden, tritt der verschleißfeste feuerfeste Werkstoff in Kontakt mit dem Inneren des Hochofens. Ein weiteres Profil innenseitig des äußeren Hohlprofils kann hier unterstützend wirken. Es kann die positiven Materialeigenschaften des äußeren Hohlprofils besitzen und insbesondere vor abrasivem Verschleiß schützen, aber gleichzeitig vorzugsweise die sehr hohe Wärmeleitzahl und besagte Feuerfestigkeit besitzen. In diesem Sinne können mehrere Profile ineinander geschachtelt angeordnet sein. Hierbei muss es sich nicht bei allen Profilen um Hohlprofile handeln. Denkbar ist aber, dass alle Profile, die ineinandergeschachtelt angeordnet sind, in ihrer Querschnittsfläche kongruent ausgebildet sind. Innere Profile können bevorzugt aus demselben Werkstoff hergestellt sein, wie das äußere Hohlprofil.In the context of the invention, it is also possible to arrange several profiles nested. Should the outer hollow section be damaged, the wear-resistant refractory material will come into contact with the interior of the blast furnace. Another profile inside the outer hollow profile can act here supportive. It may have the positive material properties of the outer hollow profile and in particular protect against abrasive wear, but at the same time preferably have the very high thermal conductivity and said refractoriness. In this sense, several profiles can be arranged nested. This does not have to be hollow profiles for all profiles. It is conceivable, however, that all profiles which are arranged nested, are formed in their cross-sectional area congruent. Inner profiles may preferably be made of the same material as the outer hollow profile.

Selbstverständlich ist es möglich, dass es sich bei dem inneren Profil auch um ein Bauteil ohne Hohlstruktur handelt. Eine Hohlstruktur im Sinne der Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine umfangsseitig offene oder geschlossene Kontur. Selbstverständlich können auch U-förmig, Z-förmig, S-förmig oder in anderer Art und Weise mehrarmige Profile vorgesehen sein. Derartige, mit Armen versehene Profile können auch mit einem Hohlprofil kombiniert werden, beispielsweise indem ein kreisförmiger oder mehreckiger Kern als Hohlprofil ausgebildet ist, an den außenseitig quasi radial abstehende Arme angeordnet sind. Die Arme erstrecken sich dann in Richtung zu dem äußeren Hohlprofil. Auch die umgekehrte Anordnung ist denkbar, nämlich das Arme vom äußeren Hohlprofil zum Inneren des Hohlprofils ragen. Arme im Sinne der Erfindung sind Stege oder durchgehende Vorsprünge, wie sie mit dem Stranggussverfahren leicht hergestellt werden können. Die Wanddicke der Profile oder Hohlprofile kann über den Umfang eines Profils stark variieren. Die Erfindung ist mithin nicht auf eine bestimmte Profilgeomtrie beschränkt. Maßgeblich ist, dass das Profilbauteil insgesamt eine sehr hohe Wärmeleitzahl besitzt und vor abrasivem Verschleiß schützt.Of course, it is possible that the inner profile is also a component without a hollow structure. A hollow structure according to the invention refers to a circumferentially open or closed contour. Of course can also be U-shaped, Z-shaped, S-shaped or provided in other ways multi-armed profiles. Such arms provided with arms can also be combined with a hollow profile, for example by a circular or polygonal core is designed as a hollow profile, are arranged on the outside virtually quasi radially projecting arms. The arms then extend in the direction of the outer hollow profile. The reverse arrangement is conceivable, namely the arms protrude from the outer hollow profile to the interior of the hollow profile. Arms according to the invention are webs or continuous projections, as they can be easily produced by the continuous casting process. The wall thickness of the profiles or hollow profiles can vary widely over the circumference of a profile. The invention is therefore not limited to a particular profile geometry. Decisive is that the profile component has a total of a very high thermal conductivity and protects against abrasive wear.

Wenn mehrere ineinandergeschachtelte Profile vorhanden sind, ist vorgesehen, dass die Zwischenräume zwischen den Profilen und dem Hohlprofil durch einen feuerfesten Werkstoff gefüllt sind, so dass der gesamte von dem äußeren Hohlprofil umgebende Innenraum ausgefüllt ist.If a plurality of nested profiles are present, it is provided that the spaces between the profiles and the hollow profile are filled by a refractory material, so that the entire surrounding of the outer hollow profile interior is filled.

Auch ein Spalt zwischen der Aufnahme und dem Profilbauteil kann mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff gefüllt sein. Hierdurch wird der Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Profilbauteil und der Aufnahme zusätzlich verbessert.Also, a gap between the receptacle and the profile component may be filled with the refractory material. As a result, the heat transfer between the profile component and the recording is additionally improved.

Der feuerfeste Werkstoff in oder zwischen den Profilen ist insbesondere ein nicht-oxidkeramischer Werkstoff. Wie vorstehend beschrieben handelt es sich bei den feuerfesten Werkstoffen zum Ausfüllen von Spalten und Zwischenräumen um einen selbstfließenden, also gießfähigen, amorphkeramischen, ungeformten, feuerfesten SiC-Werkstoff, vorzugsweise der Gruppe LCC (low cement castable). Durch diesen Werkstoff werden die verschiedenen Profile miteinander verbunden und verankert.The refractory material in or between the profiles is in particular a non-oxide ceramic material. As described above, the refractory materials for filling gaps and spaces are a self-flowing, that is castable, amorphous ceramic, unshaped, refractory SiC material, preferably the group LCC (low cement castable). Through this material, the various profiles are connected and anchored.

Der feuerfeste, ungeformte Werkstoff kann auch aus einem Gemisch von recycelter Hochleistungskeramik, insbesondere RBSiC-Hochleistungskeramik und einer feuerfesten, nicht oxidkeramischen SiC-Masse bestehen, die insbesondere zementarm ist (Gruppe LLC).The refractory, unshaped material can also consist of a mixture of recycled high performance ceramics, in particular RBSiC high performance ceramics and a refractory, non-oxide ceramic SiC mass which is particularly low in cements (Group LLC).

Dahingegen besteht wenigstens eines der Profile vorzugsweise aus einem feuerfesten Werkstoff der Gruppe HA65. Dieser Werkstoff ist beispielsweise ein hochtonerdehaltiger, feuerfester Werkstoff mit mindestens 65 % Al2O3-Gehalt.In contrast, at least one of the profiles preferably consists of a refractory material of group HA65. This material is for example a high alumina, refractory material with at least 65% Al2O3 content.

Das Profilbauteil, das mit der Aufnahme der Kühlplatte in Kontakt kommt, ist vorzugsweise trapezförmig im Querschnitt. Es kann dabei ein Stück aus dem Kühlelement vorstehen. Das äußere Profilbauteil kann in seinem aus der Aufnahme der Kühlplatte vorstehenden Bereich eine Hinterschneidung besitzen. Diese Hinterschneidung kann dazu dienen, eine formschlüssige Verankerung einer feuerfesten Verschleißschutzschicht zu schaffen. Diese kann werkseitig aufgetragen werden oder sich auch im laufenden Betrieb bilden, so dass auch für sich bildende, angefrorene Verschleißschutzschichten eine Verankerung bereitgestellt wird.The profile component, which comes into contact with the receptacle of the cooling plate, is preferably trapezoidal in cross section. It may protrude a piece from the cooling element. The outer profile component may have an undercut in its region protruding from the receptacle of the cooling plate. This undercut can serve to provide a positive anchoring of a refractory wear protection layer. This can be applied at the factory or also form during operation, so that even for forming, frozen wear protection layers anchoring is provided.

Zusätzlich können in den Aufnahmen abwechselnd andere Werkstoffe eingesetzt werden, wie beispielsweise vollkeramische Einsätze. Diese können abwechselnd mit den erfindungsgemäßen Profilbauteilen verwendet werden, wobei nicht zwingend die gleiche Subfolge von abwechselnden Profilbauteilen über das gesamte Kühlelement eingehalten werden muss. Die Subfolgen von Profilbauteilen und keramischen Einsätzen können variieren.In addition, alternately other materials can be used in the recordings, such as full ceramic inserts. These can be used alternately with the profile components according to the invention, wherein it is not absolutely necessary to observe the same subsequence of alternating profile components over the entire cooling element. The subsequences of profile components and ceramic inserts may vary.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Kühlelement 1 a, das an einer Wand, dem sogenannten Panzer 2 eines nicht näher dargestellten metallurgischen Ofens, insbesondere eines Schachtofens, wie z. B. eines Hochofens, befestigt ist. Das Kühlelement 1 a umfasst eine Kühlplatte 3a, mit im Inneren verlaufenden Kühlmittelkanälen 4, die über Kühlmittelanschlüsse 5, 6 auf einer Kaltseite der Kühlplatte 3a in nicht näher dargestellter Weise mit Kühlmittel gespeist werden. Die Kühlmittelanschlüsse 5, 6 durchsetzen die Wand 2. Ein Befestigungselement 7 dient zur Fixierung des Kühlelements 1 a an dem Panzer 2. FIG. 1 shows a cooling element 1 a, which on a wall, the so-called tank 2 of a metallurgical furnace, not shown, in particular a shaft furnace, such. B. a blast furnace, is attached. The cooling element 1 a comprises a cooling plate 3 a, with coolant channels 4 extending in the interior, which are supplied with coolant via coolant connections 5, 6 on a cold side of the cooling plate 3 a in a manner not shown. The coolant connections 5, 6 pass through the wall 2. A fastening element 7 serves to fix the cooling element 1 a to the tank 2.

Auf der dem ofeninneren zugewandten Heißseite, das heißt in der Bildebene rechts, befinden sich auf der Kühlplatte 3a nutenförmige Aufnahmen 8, die jeweils von Stegen 9 begrenzt werden. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel verlaufen die nutenförmigen Aufnahmen 8 horizontal. Die nutenförmigen Aufnahmen 8 besitzen vorzugsweise einen schwalbenschwanzförmigen Querschnitt.On the inside of the furnace facing hot side, that is in the image plane right, are located on the cooling plate 3a groove-shaped receptacles 8, which are each bounded by webs 9. In this embodiment, the groove-shaped receptacles 8 extend horizontally. The groove-shaped receptacles 8 preferably have a dovetail-shaped cross-section.

Die nutenförmigen Aufnahmen 8 dienen zur Aufnahme von Profilbauteilen 10a. Die Profilbauteile 10a sind im Stranggussverfahren hergestellt. Sie bestehen aus einer Hochleistungskeramik. Sie sind in ihrem Querschnitt an die Kontur der Aufnahme 8 angepasst und sind formschlüssig in der Aufnahme 8 gehalten. Die Profilbauteile 10a stehen ein kleines Stück über die Heißseite der Stege 9 vor, so dass die gegenüber den Profilbauteilen 10a zurückversetzte Oberfläche 11 der Kühlplatte 3a vor abrasivem Verschleiß geschützt wird.The groove-shaped receptacles 8 serve to receive profile components 10a. The profile components 10a are produced by continuous casting. They consist of a high-performance ceramic. They are adapted in their cross section to the contour of the receptacle 8 and are held in a form-fitting manner in the receptacle 8. The profile components 10a protrude a short distance over the hot side of the webs 9, so that the surface 11 of the cooling plate 3a set back from the profile components 10a is protected from abrasive wear.

Figur 2 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform beispielsweise eines Gußstave-Kühlelements 1 b mit Profilbauteilen 10b, die in nutenförmigen Aufnahmen 8 einer Kühlplatte 3b angeordnet sind. Beispielsweise besteht das Kühlelement 1b aus Grauguss. Hinsichtlich der Anordnung der Nuten 8, 9 sowie die Geometrie der Profilelemente 10b wird auf die Ausführungen zu Figur 1 Bezug genommen. Identische Komponenten wurden mit den bereits eingeführten Bezugszeichen versehen. FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment, for example, a Gußstave cooling element 1 b with profile components 10b, which are arranged in groove-shaped receptacles 8 a cooling plate 3b. For example, the cooling element 1b is made of gray cast iron. With regard to the arrangement of the grooves 8, 9 and the geometry of the profile elements 10b is to the comments too FIG. 1 Referenced. Identical components were provided with the already introduced reference numerals.

Das Besondere an den Kühlelementen 1 a und 1 b der Figuren 1 und 2 sind die dort eingesetzten Profilbauteile 10a, 10b. Figur 3 zeigt in einer Einzeldarstellung die Grundform eines solchen Profilbauteils 10a. Das Profilbauteil 10a besitzt einen mehrteiligen Aufbau. Es umfasst ein Hohlprofil 12. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist es im Querschnitt trapezförmig. Das Hohlprofil 12 ist umfangsseitig geschlossen. Es besitzt eine Füllung aus einem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13.The special feature of the cooling elements 1 a and 1 b the FIGS. 1 and 2 are the profile components 10a, 10b used there. FIG. 3 shows in a detailed representation of the basic shape of such a profile component 10a. The profile component 10a has a multi-part construction. It comprises a hollow profile 12. In this embodiment, it is trapezoidal in cross section. The hollow section 12 is closed circumferentially. It has a filling of a refractory material 13th

Das Profilelement 10a besteht mithin aus zwei verschiedenen Werkstoffen. Das im Stranggussverfahren gefertigte Hohlprofil 12 aus hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoffen zeichnet sich durch extrem hohe Abriebfestigkeit und sehr hohe Wärmeleitzahlen von bis zu 150W/mK und zudem durch extrem hohe Feuerfestigkeiten bis 1550° C sowie hohe Temperaturwechselbeständigkeit aus. Es besteht aus einem hochleistungskeramischen Werkstoff, beispielsweise siliziuminfiltriertes, rekristallisiertes Siliziumnitrid.The profile element 10a therefore consists of two different materials. The hollow profile 12 made of high-performance ceramic materials produced by continuous casting is characterized by extremely high abrasion resistance and very high thermal conductivities of up to 150W / mK and also by extremely high refractoriness up to 1550 ° C and high thermal shock resistance. It consists of a high-performance ceramic material, for example silicon-infiltrated, recrystallized silicon nitride.

Der feuerfeste Werkstoff 13 besteht aus einem im Verarbeitungszustand selbstfließenden, amorph-keramischen, ungeformten, feuerfesten Werkstoff. Diese SiC-Masse zählt zur Gruppe LCC (low cement castable). Dieser feuerfeste Werkstoff 13 kann auch genutzt werden, um weitere Profile, die innerhalb des äußeren Hohlprofils 12 angeordnet sind, zu verankern.The refractory material 13 consists of a self-fluxing in the processing state, amorphous-ceramic, unshaped, refractory material. This SiC mass belongs to the group LCC (low cement castable). This refractory material 13 can also be used to anchor other profiles that are located within the outer hollow section 12.

Figur 4 zeigt ein Profilbauteil 10c, dass wiederum das von Figur 3 bekannte äußere Hohlprofil 12 umfasst, aber zusätzlich ein weiteres, innenliegendes Profil 14 aufweist. Das innenliegende, hohle Profil 14 kann eine geringere Wandstärke besitzen und weist zusätzlich Arme 15 auf, die von den Ecken des im Wesentlichen rechteckig bzw. trapezförmig konfigurierten inneren Profils 14 zu den Ecken des äußeren Hohlprofils 12 weisen. Die Zwischenräume sind wiederum mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13 ausgegossen, wie es auch in Figur 3 dargestellt ist. Hierdurch wird der Kern, d. h. das Innere des Profilbauteils 10c zusätzlich noch verschleißfester und noch wärmeleitfähiger ausgebildet. FIG. 4 shows a profile member 10c, in turn, that of FIG. 3 known outer hollow section 12 includes, but in addition a further, internal profile 14 has. The inner, hollow profile 14 may have a smaller wall thickness and additionally has arms 15 which point from the corners of the substantially rectangular or trapezoidally configured inner profile 14 to the corners of the outer hollow profile 12. The spaces are in turn filled with the refractory material 13, as it is also in FIG. 3 is shown. As a result, the core, ie the interior of the profile component 10c, is additionally made even more wear-resistant and even more thermally conductive.

Figur 5 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform eines Profilbauteils 10d. Abweichend von der Ausführungsform der Figur 4 besitzt das innere Profil 16 zusätzlich zu den Armen 15 in den Ecken weitere Arme 17 im Bereich der oberen und unteren Längsseite des als Hohlprofil ausgestalteten Profils 16. Alle verbleibenden Zwischenräume werden wiederum mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13 verfüllt. FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of a profile component 10d. Notwithstanding the embodiment of the FIG. 4 has the inner profile 16 in addition to the arms 15 in the corners more arms 17 in the region of the upper and lower longitudinal side of the profile designed as a hollow profile 16. All remaining spaces are in turn filled with the refractory material 13.

Die Ausführungsform der Figur 6 zeigt ein Profilbauteil 10e, welches wiederum das äußere Hohlprofil 12 umfasst und zusätzlich ein inneres Profil 18. Sie sind beide trapezförmig im Querschnitt, sodass das innere Profil 18 im Wesentlichen äquidistant zu den Wänden des äußeren Profils 12 verläuft. Die Zwischenräume sind wiederum mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13 verfüllt, ebenso wie der Innenraum des inneren Profils 18.The embodiment of the FIG. 6 shows a profile component 10e, which in turn comprises the outer hollow profile 12 and additionally an inner profile 18. They are both trapezoidal in cross section, so that the inner profile 18 is substantially equidistant from the walls of the outer profile 12. The interstices are in turn filled with the refractory material 13, as well as the interior of the inner profile 18th

Figur 7 zeigt eine Ausführungsform eines Profilbauteils 10f, das im Unterschied zu der Ausführungsform der Figur 6 noch ein drittes Profil 19 umfasst, das wiederum von den dem mittleren Profil 18 und dem äußeren Hohlprofil 12 umgeben ist. Die Profile 12, 18, 19 sind äquidistant beabstandet, so dass sich eine mehrfache Verschachtelung ergibt. Auf die Erläuterung der Figur 12 wird Bezug genommen. Zwischenräume sind wiederum mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13 verfüllt, ebenso wie der Innenraum des inneren Profils 19. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a profile component 10f, which, in contrast to the embodiment of the FIG. 6 still a third profile 19 includes, which in turn is surrounded by the middle profile 18 and the outer hollow section 12. The profiles 12, 18, 19 are spaced equidistant, resulting in a multiple interleaving. On the explanation of the FIG. 12 is referred to. Interspaces are in turn filled with the refractory material 13, as well as the interior of the inner profile 19th

Figur 8 zeigt eine Variante eines Profilbauteils 10g, bei welcher das äußere Hohlprofil 12 ein inneres Profil 20 aufnimmt, das anders als bei allen vorherigen Ausführungsformen kein Hohlprofil ist. Es umfasst einen Horizontalsteg. Von dem Horizontalsteg gehen nach oben und unten jeweils drei Querstege ab, so dass sich die Form zweier nebeneinander stehender Buchstaben H ergibt. Die Zwischenräume sind wiederum mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff verfüllt. Die äußeren Stege des Profils 20 sind etwas gegenüber der Vertikalrichtung des mittleren Stegs geneigt, so dass sich im Bereich der äußeren Stege ein gleichbleibender Abstand zu dem äußeren Hohlbauteil 12 ergibt. FIG. 8 shows a variant of a profile component 10g, in which the outer hollow profile 12 receives an inner profile 20, which is not a hollow profile unlike in all previous embodiments. It includes a horizontal bar. From the horizontal web go up and down from each three transverse webs, so that the shape of two adjacent letters H results. The gaps are in turn filled with the refractory material. The outer webs of the profile 20 are slightly inclined relative to the vertical direction of the central web, so that there is a constant distance to the outer hollow member 12 in the region of the outer webs.

Figur 9 zeigt einen Anwendungsfall, bei welchem ein Kühlelement 1 c im Teilschnitt dargestellt ist. Das Besondere bei diesem Kühlelement 1 c ist, dass zwei unterschiedliche Arten von Profilbauteilen 10a, 10h im Wechsel zum Einsatz kommen. Das Profilelement 10h steht weiter über die Heißseite der Kühlplatte 3c vor, so dass es in eine Verschleißschutzschicht 21 fasst und diese an der Heißseite der Kühlplatte 3c verankert. Hierzu besitzt das Profilbauteil 10h beidseitige Hinterschneidungen, die sich in der Darstellung der Figur 9 in die Bildebene hinein erstrecken. Mit anderen Worten wird das Profilbauteil 10h vom Nutgrund zur Nutmündung her in Anpassung an die Schwalbenschwanzform der Nut jünger und verbreitert sich in gleicher Weise und im gleichen Abstand von der Nut wieder. Dadurch entsteht eine sanduhrförmige Einschnürung, hinter welche sich die Verschleißschutzschicht 21 formschlüssig verkrallen kann. Auch das Profilbauteil 10h ist mit dem feuerfesten Werkstoff 13 ausgefüllt, so wie es auch bei den vorstehenden Ausführungsformen der Fall ist. FIG. 9 shows an application in which a cooling element 1 c is shown in partial section. The special feature of this cooling element 1 c is that two different types of profile components 10a, 10h are used alternately. The profile element 10h further projects beyond the hot side of the cooling plate 3c so that it grips into a wear protection layer 21 and anchors it to the hot side of the cooling plate 3c. For this purpose, the profile component has 10h on both sides undercuts, which in the representation of FIG. 9 extend into the picture plane. In other words, the profile component 10h from the groove bottom to Nutmündung forth in adaptation to the dovetail shape of the groove younger and widened in the same way and at the same distance from the groove again. This creates an hourglass-shaped constriction, behind which the wear-resistant layer 21 can dig in a form-fitting manner. Also, the profile member 10h is filled with the refractory material 13, as is the case with the above embodiments.

Die Ausführungsform der Figur 10 unterscheidet sich von der vorhergehenden dadurch, dass an Stelle der Profilbauteile 10a massive, amorph-keramische, abriebfeste, geformte feuerfeste Profilbauteile 22 der Werkstoffgruppe HA65 oder nichtoxidkeramische SiC-Sorten alternierend zu den Profilbauteilen 10a in die Nuten der Kühlplatte 3d eingesetzt sind. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform befindet sich eine Verschleißschutzschicht 21 auf der Heißseite der Kühlplatte 3d. Darüber hinaus wird auf die Erläuterung der Figur 9 Bezug genommen.The embodiment of the FIG. 10 differs from the previous one in that instead of the profile components 10a solid, amorphous ceramic, abrasion-resistant, shaped refractory profile components 22 of material group HA65 or non-oxide ceramic SiC grades are used alternately to the profile components 10a in the grooves of the cooling plate 3d. Also in this embodiment is a wear protection layer 21 on the hot side of the cooling plate 3d. In addition, the explanation of the FIG. 9 Referenced.

Figur 11 zeigt eine Ausführungsform eines Kühlelements 1 e, das sich von demjenigen der Figur 1 dadurch unterscheidet, dass in die Kühlplatte 3e im Querschnitt etwas kleinere Profilbauteile 10i eingesetzt sind, die aber dennoch formschlüssig in den schwalbenschwanzförmig hinterschnittenen Aufnahmen 8 gehalten sind. Der entstehende Spalt zwischen den Profilbauteilen 10i und den Aufnahmen 8 ist mit einem feuerfesten Klebe-Werkstoff 24 gefüllt. Man kann hier von einer Hochtemperatur-Klebetechnik sprechen. Der temperaturbeständige Keramik-Klebewerkstoff ist auf polymerer Basis aufgebaut. FIG. 11 shows an embodiment of a cooling element 1 e, which differs from that of the FIG. 1 differs in that slightly smaller profile components 10i are used in the cooling plate 3e in cross-section, which are still held in a form-fitting manner in the dovetail-shaped undercut receptacles 8. The resulting gap between the profile components 10i and the receptacles 8 is filled with a refractory adhesive material 24. One can speak here of a high temperature bonding technique. The temperature-resistant ceramic adhesive material is based on polymer.

Figur 12 zeigt schließlich in Ergänzung zu Figur 11, das rückseitig der Kühlplatte 3f Befestigungselemente 23 eingesetzt sind, welche in Richtung der Heißseite der Kühlplatte 3f weisen und die Profilbauteile 10i in den Aufnahmen 8 zusätzlich verankern. Es handelt sich bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel um Schraubverbindungen, die jeweils hinter einer der Aufnahmen 8 mittig oder außermittig angeordnet sind, so dass jedes einzelne Profilbauteil 10i verankert ist. FIG. 12 finally shows in addition to FIG. 11 , the back of the cooling plate 3f fasteners 23 are used, which point in the direction of the hot side of the cooling plate 3f and the profile components 10i anchored in the receptacles 8 additionally. In this exemplary embodiment, these are screw connections, which are respectively arranged centrally behind one of the receptacles 8 or off-center, so that each individual profile component 10i is anchored.

Selbstverständlich lassen sich auch alle anderen der vorstehend beschriebenen Profilbauteile auf diese Art und Weise zusätzlich an der Kühlplatte verankern, so dass eine kraftschlüssige, formschlüssige und auch stoffschlüssige Verankerung mit dem Kühlelement möglich ist. Alternativ kann jede der Verankerungsformen einzeln realisiert sein.Of course, all other of the profile components described above can also be anchored in this way in addition to the cooling plate, so that a frictional, positive and cohesive anchoring to the cooling element is possible. Alternatively, each of the anchoring forms can be realized individually.

Figur 13 zeigt ein offenes Profilbauteil 10j, das anders als die geschlossenen Profilbauteile 10a - i nicht ausschließlich zwischen den Stegen 9 angeordnet ist, sondern jeweils einen Steg 9 umgreift. Die Stege 9 besitzen beiderseits Hinterschneidungen, wobei das offene Profilbauteil 10j in die Hinterschneidungen fasst und dadurch formschlüssig an dem jeweils umgriffenen Steg 9 gehalten ist. Die Stege 9 sind im Querschnitt trapezförmig, so dass auch die Profilbauteile 10j bei konstanter Wanddicke trapezförmig sind. FIG. 13 shows an open profile member 10j, unlike the closed profile components 10a - i is not located exclusively between the webs 9, but each embraces a web 9. The webs 9 have on both sides undercuts, wherein the open profile component 10j squeezes into the undercuts and is thereby held in a form-fitting manner on the respectively engaged web 9. The webs 9 are trapezoidal in cross-section, so that the profile components 10j are trapezoidal with a constant wall thickness.
