Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stave protection system for a metallurgical furnace, for example a blast furnace.
  • a conventional blast furnace comprises several sections and components including a stack, belly, bosh, tuyere, hearth and taphole.
  • the internal shell of the blast furnace may be protected with water-cooled cooling plates, called staves, which protect the shell from overheating during the reduction process taking place within the furnace.
  • staves are typically constructed from copper or copper alloy although other materials may be used, for example steel or cast iron.
  • the staves can be susceptible to abrasive wear from the solid raw materials charged into the furnace as they make their descent through the furnace. In some circumstances the severity of the wear has resulted in the requirement to replace the staves before their planned service life has completed. This is costly due to furnace downtime. It is therefore important to design staves to resist wear so as to prolong service life.
  • the stave has a machined front face, or hot face, comprising ribs and grooves which hold the accretion onto the stave.
  • Figure 1 A portion of an exemplary copper stave of this type is shown in Figure 1 .
  • a refinement of this concept has been the addition of a front-face protective material or cladding, which is harder than the copper base material but which still allows a protective accretion layer to form by freezing on the face.
  • This has been achieved using a combination of silicon carbide and graphite bricks, as illustrated in Figure 2 which shows a copper stave and a cross-section thereof.
  • WO2009/147192 describes a stave having a front face comprising ribs and grooves which form anchorage means for anchoring a refractory brick lining, a refractory guniting or a process generated accretion layer to the face.
  • Metal inserts are provided in the grooves, as is illustrated schematically in Figure 3 .
  • the metal inserts cover the sidewalls of the ribs to protect the ribs from erosion. Possible problems with this solution however are that the metal inserts may be prone to distortion and/or buckling and by using a less conductive material than that of the stave body (when copper) there is a reduced thermal performance of the stave which can impact the freezing of a protective accretion layer.
  • the blocks may comprise silicon carbide or some other hard material, thereby providing the face of the stave with a protective cladding.
  • the blocks are separated from each other by shorter spacer inserts. The inserts may protect the face of the stave in the regions between the blocks.
  • the blocks are preferably staggered between the grooves such as to provide a chequer pattern on the face of the stave.
  • a stave protection system for a metallurgical furnace comprising: a stave comprising a front face having an X direction and a Y direction which is perpendicular to the X direction such as to define an X-Y plane, the front face comprising rows of grooves which extend in the X direction; and inserts which are slidingly received by the grooves, the inserts so received by each respective groove being spaced apart from each other along the groove, the centres of the inserts which are received by one of the grooves being offset in each of the X and Y directions from the centres of the inserts which are received by an adjacent groove, each of the inserts projecting from the front face of the stave and comprising flow guiding surfaces which are inclined with respect to each of the X and Y directions in the X-Y plane, such that in use the offsets of the inserts in each of the X and Y directions and the inclined flow guiding surfaces cause a flow of furnace burden material,
  • the inserts provide a cladding for the front face (or hot face) of the stave which encourages a protective layer of burden material to form on the front face when the stave is used in a furnace.
  • the offsetting of the inserts and the provision of inclined flow guiding surfaces advantageously causes the burden material to be distributed over the face of the stave simultaneously in the X and Y directions.
  • the configuration and arrangement of the inserts encourages the burden material to be trapped by or between the inserts as the burden material flows under gravity. Trapping of burden material may occur when burden material is passed over the inclined flow guiding surfaces in each of the X and Y directions.
  • the burden material becomes trapped, by or between the inserts, having first been distributed generally over the front face of the stave as described above.
  • the offsets of the inserts in each of the X and Y directions and the inclined flow guiding surfaces cause a flow of furnace burden material, under gravity, to flow in a direction having a component in each of the X and Y directions, so as to distribute the burden material between the inserts over the front face of the stave and to trap the burden material between the inserts.
  • burden material becomes trapped, by or between the inserts, without first having been distributed generally over the front face of the stave.
  • burden material may be trapped at a local region of the front face, without having first been spread across all or even a major portion of the front face.
  • the inserts function to distribute burden material over the front face of the stave and subsequently to trap the burden material between them, or simply to trap the burden material between them without prior distribution generally over the front face.
  • the burden material tends to be distributed over the front face may depend on flow conditions, including for example the volume and weight of the burden material, and its flow rate, temperature and viscosity.
  • burden material can directly enter the spaces between the inserts from a flow direction which is substantially perpendicular to the X-Y plane. Such burden material can be trapped by or between the inserts, without necessarily first passing over the inclined flow guiding surfaces in each of the X and Y directions.
  • blast material refers to one or both of (i) iron-bearing materials in the blast furnace, for example iron-ore or iron-ore pellets, and (ii) blast furnace slag, i.e. slag which is formed when iron-ore or iron pellets, coke and a flux (e.g. limestone or dolomite) are melted together in the blast furnace and then solidified.
  • iron-bearing materials in the blast furnace for example iron-ore or iron-ore pellets
  • blast furnace slag i.e. slag which is formed when iron-ore or iron pellets, coke and a flux (e.g. limestone or dolomite) are melted together in the blast furnace and then solidified.
  • the offset in the X direction may be such that an imaginary line, which extends in the Y direction, intersects flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves and flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the adjacent groove.
  • the offset in the Y direction may be such that an imaginary line, which extends in the X direction, intersects flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves and flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the adjacent groove.
  • the offset in the X direction may be such that an imaginary line, which extends in the Y direction, intersects flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves and flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the adjacent groove; and the offset in the Y direction may be such that an imaginary line, which extends in the X direction, intersects flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves and flow guiding surfaces of the inserts which are received by the adjacent groove.
  • the offset in the X direction may be such that: the distance in the X direction, between the centres of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves, is D; and the distance in the X direction, between the centres of the inserts which are received by the adjacent groove and the centres of the inserts which are received by the one of the grooves, is D/2.
  • Each of the flow guiding surfaces may be perpendicular to the front face of the stave.
  • Each insert may comprise a projection part which includes the flow guiding surfaces and an attachment part which is received by the respective groove.
  • the insert may be of unitary construction such that the projection part and the attachment part are integral.
  • the insert may be of non-unitary construction such that the projection part and the attachment part are discrete elements.
  • the projection part may be polyhedral and sides of the projection part may comprise the flow guiding surfaces.
  • the projection part may be hexagonal and each one of four of the six sides of the projection part may comprise a respective one of the inclined flow guiding surfaces.
  • the other two sides of the hexagonal projection part may each extend in the Y direction.
  • the other two sides of the hexagonal projection part may each extend in the X direction.
  • the projection part may comprise a recess.
  • the inserts which are received by each respective groove may be spaced apart from each other along the groove by spacers which are slidingly received in the groove. At least one of the spacers may be an integral part of at least one of the inserts. At least one of the spacers may be a discrete element.
  • the spacers may be configured to cover the surfaces of the respective grooves between the inserts. Alternatively the spacers may be configured to expose the surfaces of the respective grooves between the inserts.

  • At least one of the spacers may comprise an abrasion resistant refractory material.

  • an insert 100 comprises a projection part 102 and an attachment part 104.
  • the insert 100 is of unitary construction, so that each of the projection part 102 and the attachment part 104 is a portion of the single-piece insert 100.
  • the insert 100 comprises silicon carbide.
  • the insert 100 may comprise alumina, copper, copper alloy, steel, cast iron, or other suitable ceramic, metal, or metal alloy.
  • the projection part 102 comprises a front face 102a and a rear face 102b which are connected to each other by a peripheral outer edge having six faces 102c1-6 which form a regular hexagon.
  • the projection part 102 is a hexagonal prism. Vertices 102ci-vi are formed at the intersections of the faces 102c1-6 (only 102ci is labelled in the figure).
  • a circular recess 102d extends into the body of the projection part 102 from the front face 102a and comprises a floor 102d1 (not shown) and a peripheral wall 102d2. Accordingly the circular recess 102d forms a blind hole or bore in the body of the projection part 102.
  • the bore has a central axis C, which is coincident with the geometric centre of the insert 100.
  • the attachment part 104 extends rearwardly of the projection part 102.

  • the upper and lower faces 104d, 104e of the attachment part 104 are inclined or sloped with respect to the central axis C such as to form a convergent taper from the rear face 104c of the attachment part 104 to the rear face 102b of the projection part 102.
  • the sloping upper and lower faces 104d, 104e provide the attachment part 104 with a wedge-shaped profile, the thickest section of the wedge being located at the rear face 104c of the attachment part 104 and the thinnest section of the wedge being located at the rear face 102b of the projection part 102.

  • a second spacer 200 is provided which is generally similar to the first spacer 200 as described herein above, except that the length of the second spacer 200 is less than the length of the first spacer 200.

It will be understood that the lines L1 and L2 are imaginary lines which are provided merely for the purpose of explanation and which do not form any part of the structure of the described embodiment.
  • Each of the first and second lines L1, L2 intersects both of an exemplary pair of inclined faces 102c3, 102c6 (or inclined flow guiding surfaces), one of the inclined faces 102c3 belonging to the projection part 102 of a first insert 100 in a first groove 312 and the other of the inclined faces 102c6 belonging to the projection part 102 of a second insert 100 in a neighbouring or immediately-adjacent groove 312.
  • the inclined faces 102c3, 102c6 are positioned such as to (partially) overlap each other in each of the X and Y directions.
  • the first groove 312i of the stave 300 comprises a first exemplary insert 100i
  • the second groove 312ii of the stave 300 comprises second and third exemplary inserts 100ii, 100iii
  • a third groove 312iii of the stave 300 (which is immediately adjacent to the second groove 312ii) comprises a fourth exemplary insert 100iv.
  • An inclined face of the projection part 102 of the first insert 100i partially overlaps (in each of the X and Y directions in the sense of Figure 7 ) with an inclined face of the projection part 102 of the second insert 100ii such as to define a first channel C1 between the two faces.
  • another inclined face of the projection part 102 of the first insert 100i partially overlaps (in each of the X and Y directions in the sense of Figure 7 ) with an inclined face of the projection part 102 of the third insert 100iii such as to define a second channel C2 between the two faces.
  • an inclined face of the projection part 102 of the fourth insert 100iv partially overlaps (in each of the X and Y directions in the sense of Figure 7 ) with an inclined face of the projection part 102 of the second insert 100ii such as to define a third channel C3 between the two faces.
  • another inclined face of the projection part 102 of the fourth insert 100iv partially overlaps (in each of the X and Y directions in the sense of Figure 7 ) with an inclined face of the projection part 102 of the third insert 100iii such as to define a fourth channel C4 between the two faces.
  • a non-inclined face of the second insert 100ii overlaps (in the X direction in the sense of Figure 7 ) with a non-inclined face of the third insert 100iii such as to define a fifth channel C5 between the two faces.
  • the first and second channels C1, C2 converge to lead into the fifth channel C5, which in turn bifurcates or branches into the third and fourth channels C3, C4.
  • each one of the first to fifth channels comprises a base which is formed by one or both of the front faces 314a of the ribs 314 and the front faces 200a of the spacers 200.
  • the panel-like stave 300 is installed at an interior wall of the furnace in an upright fashion.
  • the front (or hot) face 302 faces into the interior of the furnace such that the projection parts 102 of the inserts 100 project from the front face 302 in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • burden material While the furnace is being used, burden material will pass downwardly through the interior of the furnace.
  • the burden material may include, for example, condensed vapours, solidified slag, and metal.
  • a flow stream F of burden material (not itself shown) will flow downwardly under gravity (in the Y direction in the sense of Figure 7 ). Portions of the burden material will flow around the first insert 100i and through each of the first and second channels C1, C2. At the point of confluence between the first and second channels C1, C2 the portions of the flow F will converge and combine with each other so as to flow into the fifth channel C5.
  • the fifth channel C5 there is defined a zone T of the front face 302 of the stave 300 which is bounded by three proximate vertices, each of the vertices belonging to a respective one of the second, third and fourth inserts 100ii, 100iii, 100iv.
  • Some portion of the burden material will be trapped in the zone T between the three vertices.
  • the trapped burden material will be held in contact with the cooled surface of the front face 302 of the stave 300 (as well as with the flow guiding surfaces of the projection parts 102) and will adhere to the surface so as to form a protective layer.
  • the three vertices provide a highly effective "three-point anchor" for retaining some of the burden material which is directed into the zone T by the first, second and fifth channels C1, C2, C5.
  • the distance between the vertex of the fourth insert 100iv and each of the vertices of the second and third inserts 100ii, 100iii is about 55 mm, since that is the size of a typical particle contained in the burden material.
  • the remainder of the flow F of the burden material (i.e. that portion of the burden material which is not trapped at the zone T) flows from the fifth channel C5 into the third and fourth channels C3, C4.
  • the extent of the flow (F) of the burden material across the front face 302 of the stave 300 in each of the X and Y directions may depend on the flow conditions, including for example the volume and weight of the burden material, and its flow rate, temperature and viscosity.
  • the progress of the flow (F) of an amount of burden material may be limited, such that said amount of burden material might not cover substantially the entire length and width of the front face 302, but rather be trapped between inserts 100 at one or more local regions of the front face 302.
  • a further amount of burden material may be caused to flow over the stave 300 and be trapped between inserts 100 at other local regions, such that, over time, substantially the entire length and width of the front face 302 becomes covered by trapped burden material.
  • the spacers 200 which in the described embodiment are constructed from copper alloy, may wear at a higher rate than the harder silicon carbide inserts 100. As the spacers 200 wear their front faces 200a will recede into the depths of the grooves 312 so as to leave spaces in the grooves 312. These spaces are "stoneboxes" which will become occupied by the burden material. Similar stoneboxes may be formed and occupied by burden material when the attachment parts 104 of the inserts 100 eventually wear out. In this way the burden material protects the stave 300 even after all of the spacers 200 and inserts 100 have been eroded away.
  • the spacers 200 each comprise a solid block having a thickness which is approximately equal to the depth of the groove 312, it will be understood that the spacers could take a different form.
  • at least one of the spacers comprises a rectangular (optionally square) frame. That is, the spacer resembles a picture frame, so that when the spacer is installed in the groove 312 a portion of the floor 312a of the groove 312 is left uncovered by the spacer and exposed to view. This provides a stonebox which can become occupied by burden material before any wear of the spacer occurs.
  • the thickness of the spacer may be the same as, or less than, the depth of the groove 312.
  • the spacer may be configured in various other ways to leave some portion of the floor 312a of the groove 312 exposed and all such configurations are within the scope of the claimed invention.
  • spacers need not be discrete elements.
  • one or more of the spacers is an integral part of one or more of the inserts 100.
  • a spacer is comprised by a laterally-extending flange portion of the attachment part 104 of the insert 100.
  • any or all of the spacers may be omitted, since the inserts 100 could be positioned at the desired spacing and then individually attached to the stave 300 (by means of screw connections or welds as described herein above, for example) to prevent the inserts 100 from moving laterally out of position.
  • each of the projection parts is polyhedral. That is, each of the projection parts is a three-dimensional solid comprising flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices.
  • the flat polygonal face could be a triangle, a rectangle (for example a square), a pentagon, a heptagon, an octagon, and so on. All of these shapes are within the scope of the claimed invention.
  • one or more of the projection parts may have a circular flat face, such that the projection part takes the form of a disc.
  • the projection parts of the inserts may be of dissimilar shape and/or size.
  • recesses in the projection parts may be other than circular or may even be omitted.
  • At least one of the grooves 312 comprises no spacers.
  • the side faces 104a, 104b of the attachment parts 104 of the inserts 100 are in abutment so as to form a continuous ledge which can prevent the passage of burden material between the inserts 100. This may be particularly useful at or near the bottom of the stave 300, as shown in Figure 8 , since it is desirable to try to retain as much burden material as possible on the stave
