Abstract

The refractory ceramic component consists, at least partially, of sections (20) with wound, bandage-like structure, and is composed of sections (20) incorporating hollow spaces (30) within the refractory material; these spaces having been formed by evaporation or burning of a carrier material or a coating on a carrier material, after drying, hardening or firing the component.

Description

1 REFRACTORY CERAMIC COMPONENT 2296079 The invention relates to a
refractory ceramic component which is designed, for example, as a shroud, immersion pipe, lance, monobloc stopper or the like, the said refractory ceramic component consisting, at least in sections, of sections wound in a bandage-like manner.
A component of this kind is known, inter alia, f rom DE 29 33 143 C2 in the form of a lance tube for blowing in oxygen, nitrogen and/or argon. In that instance, a steel tube is wrapped around with one or more layers of refractory fibre cord, or net, tape or cloth, and then saturated with a slurry-like or paste-like mixture of refractory substance and water glass solution. After the drying of the first layer, a second layer of refractory substance and binding agent is applied, which soaks into the refractory fibrous net.
This is intended to effect an increase in resistance to wear and resistance to thermal shock in lance tubes of this kind.
This, at least partial structure, which is wound in a bandage-like manner, for a refractory ceramic component has the advantage that high mechanical stability is achieved with the aid of the carrier substance (for example a refractory fibre net). In the case of a lance tube, for example, the carrier substance acts like armouring inside the refractory covering.
The object of the invention is to further develop the aforesaid technology and make it available to new areas of application.
In doing so, the invention starts out from the following consideration: There is a multitude of areas of application in which an objective or subjective imperviousness (density) 2 of the refractory substance is desired, at least in certain sections. These include, for example, shrouds wherein the admission of oxygen into the pouring jet must be prevented. According to DE 93 18 726 Ul and EP 0 065 514 Bl, the shrouds are provided, for this purpose, with an outer, gastight metal tube. The latter at the same time fulfils the function of preventing the shadow tube from disintegrating, even in the event of cracks in the inner refractory lining.
In other applications, for example gas purging plugs, imperviousness of the refractory substance is required, insofar as the processing gas flowing through the gas purging plug is not to diffuse laterally.
The invention has recognized that the two aforesaid, completely different objectives can be fulfilled by a refractory ceramic component that consists, at least partially, of sections wound in a bandage-like manner and has the following features:
The sections wound in a bandage-like manner have cavities extending inside the refractory substance and achieved by vaporising or burning-out of a suitable carrier material or of a coating applied to the carrier material, after the drying, tempering or firing of the component.
In other words: in the manufacture of a refractory ceramic component according to the invention, the said component is formed, at least partially, by sections wound in a bandagelike manner. Under these circumstances, the "bandage" has a carrier material which - in a similar way to that in which a gypsum bandage is coated with gypsum - is coated on one or both sides with a refractory compound. The corresponding sections are then manufactured with the bandage by suitable winding operations and the component is then dried, tempered or fired.
3 It is true that, if a carrier material is used which can be burned out at these temperatures, the aforesaid armouring function is eliminated; at the same time, however, In-sItu cavities are made available which can then be connected to an external gas feed line and via which a processing gas, for example an inert gas, can be fed in.
An alternative form of embodiment provides a carrier material of a refractory material, for example ceramic fibres with a coating which vaporizes or burns out during the drying, tempering or calcining of the component and around which, in turn, a refractory paste, refractory mortar or the like is made up. Optionally, the coating may even be formed by the refractory paste or the mortar itself. In these cases, the carrier material is preserved during the drying, tempering or calcining of the component, but the said coating shrinks, vaporizes or burns out, so that tubelike cavities, which - in a manner analogous to that which has been described above - can in turn be connected to an external gas source, are formed in the refractory substance around the carrier material.
In the form of embodiment last mentioned, there is the advantage that the carrier material keeps its armouring function and stabilizes the component as a whole, both thermally and mechanically, even under the temperatures that occur during use.
In the case of a shroud, such as has been described above, the design according to the invention has the advantage that no outer metal tube is necessary any more. Mechanical stabilization is undertaken by the carrier material. The infiltration of oxygen is prevented through the fact that the cavities described are connected to an inert gas source which conducts a flow of inert gas through the cavities during use and prevents oxygen from being sucked in towards the pouring jet.
4 While the cavities described have a "passive" function in the case of the aforesaid example of embodiment, the same principle can also be used, for example, in the case of a gas plug, where the cavities then have an "active" function, namely the feeding of a processing gas into molten metal. The scope of the invention includes the selection, in dependence upon the application in question, of the carrier material, its type and size and the coating material.
For numerous areas of application it seems expedient to design the carrier material in a net-like manner (two or three dimensionally), so that correspondingly a net-like pore system is also constructed in the component, that is to say either by the burning-out of the carrier substance or by the shrinking, vaporizing or burning-out of the coating applied to the carrier material. The said coating may, f or example, consist of a synthetic resin or of wax.
However, a carrier material in the form of cords, coils or the like may also be used, depending upon the application in question. The invention is not subject to limitations of any kind in this respect.
What is crucial is that the cavities are constructed by, or around, the carrier material in the refractory material and extend in sections of the component which have been wound in a bandage-like manner in the way described.
In the case of a shroud, for example, it may be expedient to manufacture the inner part conventionally by casting or pressing and to put a section, which has been wound in a bandage-like manner, onto the inner part. This section increases the operational reliability of the shroud as a whole, and does so even when cracks, for example, occur in the inner part, these being hindered by the bandage from spreading outwards, as a result of which the undesirable admission of air from outside is also hindered.
The laminate form of construction produced by winding makes it possible to include freely selectable refractory components which can be adapted to the stressing profile. The selection of the refractory material is, once again, guided by the application in question. Refractory oxides, such as alumina, zirconium oxide or magnesium oxide, are among typical sorts of refractory materials which may be used according to the invention.
The invention will be explained in greater detail below with reference to the manufacture of a shroud.
In this case, an inner section of the shroud is first of all manufactured in the conventional manner, by casting or pressing. Onto this inner part there is then wound a bandage which is constructed as follows: it has a net-like carrier material made of alumina fibres which are coated with a wax and integrated in a refractory slurry made of alumina. The bandage is wound crosswise onto the inner part and the component thus manufactured is then dried, tempered and/or calcined, during which process there occurs vaporization of the wax coating and thus channel like cavities around the net structure of the carrier are formed. Finally, a central gas feed line, through which an inert gas such as argon is fed during use, is connected to the pores, preferably at the inlet end of the shroud.
The accompanying diagrammatic drawing illustrates a shroud of this kind, the inner, cast section of which bears the reference number 10, while its outer, wound section bears the reference number 20, the pores, which extend in a netlike manner, being marked diagrammatically with the reference number 30, and the central inert gas connection with the reference number 40.
