Description

本発明は、連続鋳造用浸漬ノズルに係り、特に吐出孔に溝を設けて、吐出流の低速化を図った連続鋳造用浸漬ノズルに関する。   The present invention relates to a continuous casting immersion nozzle, and more particularly to a continuous casting immersion nozzle in which a discharge hole is provided with a groove to reduce the discharge flow rate.

従来の浸漬ノズルでは、吐出孔は一定の吐出角を有しており、吐出流がまとまった流速として吐出されていた。その結果、速い流速のまま鋳型コーナー部に衝突し、凝固遅れを発生させていた。これを解決するために、ノズルの底部に孔(特許文献1参照。)もしくはスリット(特許文献2参照。)を設けて吐出流を分散させるノズルが考案されている。   In the conventional immersion nozzle, the discharge hole has a constant discharge angle, and the discharge flow is discharged as a combined flow rate. As a result, it collided with the mold corner with a high flow rate, causing a solidification delay. In order to solve this problem, there has been devised a nozzle that disperses the discharge flow by providing a hole (see Patent Document 1) or a slit (see Patent Document 2) at the bottom of the nozzle.

また、特許文献3は、吐出孔の内壁上部及び下部の角度α・βを夫々、好適な範囲とする浸漬ノズルを開示する。これによれば、浸漬ノズルとモールド壁間隔が小さい場合にも、吐出流により凝固シェルが再溶解することを防ぐことができるとされる。   Patent Document 3 discloses an immersion nozzle in which the angles α and β of the upper and lower inner walls of the discharge hole are each in a suitable range. According to this, even when the distance between the immersion nozzle and the mold wall is small, it is possible to prevent the solidified shell from being re-dissolved by the discharge flow.

しかしながら、この特許文献1及び2に記載される構成では、使用中に孔もしくはスリットへ介在物が付着して効果が減少してしまうと考えられる。一方、特許文献3に係る浸漬ノズルは、吐出孔の内壁上部及び下部の角度に着目する点で興味深いものである。   However, in the configurations described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is considered that inclusions adhere to the holes or slits during use and the effect is reduced. On the other hand, the immersion nozzle according to Patent Document 3 is interesting in that it focuses on the angles of the upper and lower inner walls of the discharge hole.

本発明は斯かる諸点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主な目的は、鋳型内への溶鋼吐出流量を確保しつつ、鋳型コーナー部における溶鋼の流速を低速化して凝固遅れを抑制できる浸漬ノズルを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such various points, and its main purpose is immersion that can suppress the solidification delay by reducing the flow velocity of the molten steel at the mold corner while ensuring the flow rate of molten steel discharged into the mold. It is to provide a nozzle.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an immersion nozzle according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3-3 in FIG.

図1に示される浸漬ノズル1は、鋼の連続鋳造において、タンディッシュ内に保持される溶鋼を鋳型内へ滑らかに注湯するのに供される有底円筒状のものであって、その使用状態においては垂直とされる。本図及び図2に示す如く浸漬ノズル1は、中空円筒状の耐火物により構成され、その下端は閉塞される。この浸漬ノズル1の周壁に一対の対向する溶鋼吐出孔2が穿孔される。更に、前記溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3には、前記浸漬ノズル1の底面視(図3参照)において前記溶鋼吐出孔2の穿孔方向4と平行に延びる溶鋼吐出溝5が刻設される。具体的には下記の通りである。   The immersion nozzle 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape used for smoothly pouring molten steel held in a tundish into a mold in continuous casting of steel. The state is vertical. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, the immersion nozzle 1 is composed of a hollow cylindrical refractory, and its lower end is closed. A pair of opposed molten steel discharge holes 2 are formed in the peripheral wall of the immersion nozzle 1. Further, on the inner bottom surface 3 of the molten steel discharge hole 2, a molten steel discharge groove 5 extending in parallel with the piercing direction 4 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 in the bottom view of the immersion nozzle 1 (see FIG. 3) is formed. Specifically, it is as follows.

前記の浸漬ノズル1の周壁の耐火物厚み(図2において符号Bで示す。即ち、浸漬ノズル1の内周面6と、浸漬ノズル1の外周面7と、の径方向における離隔距離に相当する。)は、同じく底壁の耐火物厚みと比較して若干薄肉とされる。前記の溶鋼吐出孔2は、タンディッシュから浸漬ノズル1へ流入する溶鋼を鋳型内へ適宜に吐出するための孔であって、一端は該浸漬ノズル1の内周面6に接続され、他端は該浸漬ノズル1の外周面7に接続され、更に、本図に示す垂直断面視において溶鋼吐出孔2はその穿孔方向が若干斜め下向きとなるように形成される。詳しくは、この溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3が水平と為す角度θ1[deg.](ただし、下向きを正とする。)は-10〜60に設定され、この内底面3は浸漬ノズル1の内底面Pに接続される。溶鋼吐出孔2の内周側開口縁8は、図1に示す垂直断面視において角部に若干の丸みを帯びた矩形とされ、溶鋼吐出孔2の外周側開口縁9も同様である。なお、この溶鋼吐出孔3の外周側開口縁9は内周側開口縁8よりも幅広に形成され、もって、図3に示す底面視において溶鋼吐出孔2は、内周側開口縁8から外周側開口縁9へ向かうにつれて徐々に拡大するように形成される。内周側開口縁8の幅は本図において符号fで示され、外周側開口縁9の幅は同じく符号Aで示す。   The thickness of the refractory on the peripheral wall of the immersion nozzle 1 (indicated by the symbol B in FIG. 2), that is, the radial distance between the inner peripheral surface 6 of the immersion nozzle 1 and the outer peripheral surface 7 of the immersion nozzle 1 .) Is also slightly thinner than the thickness of the refractory on the bottom wall. The molten steel discharge hole 2 is a hole for appropriately discharging the molten steel flowing from the tundish into the immersion nozzle 1 into the mold, and one end is connected to the inner peripheral surface 6 of the immersion nozzle 1 and the other end Is connected to the outer peripheral surface 7 of the immersion nozzle 1, and the molten steel discharge hole 2 is formed so that the perforation direction is slightly inclined downward in a vertical sectional view shown in the figure. Specifically, the angle θ1 [deg.] (Where the downward direction is positive) that the inner bottom surface 3 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 is horizontal is set to −10 to 60. Connected to the inner bottom surface P. The opening edge 8 on the inner peripheral side of the molten steel discharge hole 2 has a rectangular shape with a slightly rounded corner in the vertical sectional view shown in FIG. 1, and the opening edge 9 on the outer peripheral side of the molten steel discharge hole 2 is the same. The outer peripheral opening edge 9 of the molten steel discharge hole 3 is formed wider than the inner peripheral opening edge 8, so that the molten steel discharge hole 2 has an outer periphery from the inner peripheral opening edge 8 in the bottom view shown in FIG. It forms so that it may expand gradually as it goes to the side opening edge 9. As shown in FIG. The width of the inner peripheral opening edge 8 is indicated by the symbol f in this figure, and the width of the outer peripheral opening edge 9 is also indicated by the symbol A.

前記の溶鋼吐出溝5の形状を以下に詳細に説明する。溶鋼吐出溝5は、前述したように本図に示す底面視において、前記溶鋼吐出孔2の穿孔方向4と平行に延在し、その内周側端10は溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3に接続され、その外周側端11は浸漬ノズル1の外周面7に接続される。この溶鋼吐出溝5は、本図において溶鋼吐出孔2の穿孔方向4と垂直な方向に着目すると、溶鋼吐出孔2の略中央に形成される。この溶鋼吐出溝5の刻設幅を符号aで観念すると、下記式(1)が満足される。更に、図2に示される浸漬ノズル1の垂直断面視において前記溶鋼吐出溝5の内底面12が水平と為す角度(ただし、下向きを正とする。)をθ2で観念し、溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3が水平と為す角度θ1と、溶鋼吐出溝5の内底面12が水平と為す角度θ2と、の差を符号Δθで観念すると、下記式(2)が満足される。
a/A=0.1〜0.9・・・(1)
Δθ[deg.]=15〜45・・・(2)
The shape of the molten steel discharge groove 5 will be described in detail below. As described above, the molten steel discharge groove 5 extends in parallel with the piercing direction 4 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 in the bottom view shown in the figure, and the inner peripheral end 10 thereof is formed on the inner bottom surface 3 of the molten steel discharge hole 2. The outer peripheral side end 11 is connected to the outer peripheral surface 7 of the immersion nozzle 1. The molten steel discharge groove 5 is formed at substantially the center of the molten steel discharge hole 2 when attention is paid to the direction perpendicular to the piercing direction 4 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 in the drawing. When the engraved width of the molten steel discharge groove 5 is considered by the symbol a, the following formula (1) is satisfied. Further, in the vertical sectional view of the immersion nozzle 1 shown in FIG. 2, the angle formed by the inner bottom surface 12 of the molten steel discharge groove 5 to be horizontal (where the downward direction is positive) is considered as θ2, and the molten steel discharge hole 2 When the difference between the angle θ1 that the inner bottom surface 3 is horizontal and the angle θ2 that the inner bottom surface 12 of the molten steel discharge groove 5 is horizontal is considered by the sign Δθ, the following equation (2) is satisfied.
a / A = 0.1-0.9 ... (1)
Δθ [deg.] = 15 ~ 45 ・ ・ ・ (2)

更に好ましくは、上記の溶鋼吐出溝5は、以下のように形成される。即ち、下記式(3)及び(4)が満足される。更に、溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3と溶鋼吐出溝5の内底面12との交差線(本実施形態では、溶鋼吐出溝5の内周側端10が相当する。)と、浸漬ノズル1の外周面7と、の径方向における離隔距離を符号bで観念すると、下記式(5)が満足される。
a/A=0.2〜0.8・・・(3)
Δθ[deg.]=25〜40・・・(4)
b/B≧0.4・・・(5)
More preferably, the molten steel discharge groove 5 is formed as follows. That is, the following expressions (3) and (4) are satisfied. Further, an intersecting line between the inner bottom surface 3 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 and the inner bottom surface 12 of the molten steel discharge groove 5 (in this embodiment, the inner peripheral side end 10 of the molten steel discharge groove 5 corresponds) and the immersion nozzle 1 When the separation distance in the radial direction between the outer peripheral surface 7 and the outer peripheral surface 7 is considered by the symbol b, the following formula (5) is satisfied.
a / A = 0.2-0.8 ... (3)
Δθ [deg.] = 25-40 ... (4)
b / B ≧ 0.4 ... (5)

なお、図1〜3に示すように本実施形態において溶鋼吐出溝5は、その内底面12と側面とが直交するように構成されるが、実際には、製造上の便宜や強度上の問題を考慮して、前記の内底面12と側面とが直交する部位には適宜にRを付すのがよいであろう。同様に、面同士が鋭角に交差する部位や面同士が鈍角に交差する部位に対しては適宜のRを付すのがよい。なお、Rが付される前の上記交差部位については、該交差部位を挟む一対の面を仮想的に延長すれば容易に観念できることは言うに及ばない。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the molten steel discharge groove 5 is configured such that the inner bottom surface 12 and the side surface thereof are orthogonal to each other. In consideration of the above, it is advisable to appropriately add R to the portion where the inner bottom surface 12 and the side surface are orthogonal to each other. Similarly, an appropriate R is preferably attached to a portion where the surfaces intersect at an acute angle or a portion where the surfaces intersect at an obtuse angle. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized about the said cross | intersection part before attaching | subjecting R, if a pair of surface which pinches | interposes this cross part is extended virtually.

ところで、上記の浸漬ノズル1の上端は、この浸漬ノズル1から鋳型内へ吐出される溶鋼の吐出流量を調節するための溶鋼流量調節ユニットを介してタンディッシュの底部に接続される。この溶鋼流量調節ユニットに関して以下に概説する。図4を参照されたい。図4は、浸漬ノズルが連結された溶鋼流量調節ユニットの縦断面図である。本図に示す如く溶鋼流量調節ユニット13は、略円筒状に形成され、その延在方向中央には紙面と垂直方向へ開閉可能なスライドプレート14を備え、その延在方向上部にはポーラス状のリング15が設けられる。このリング15は、浸漬ノズル1や溶鋼流量調節ユニット13の内部に形成される流路内を流動する溶鋼に対してArガスに代表される不活性ガスを吹き込むためのガス噴出孔としての役割を担うものであって、適宜の吹込みノズル16を備える。以上の構成で、図略のArガス供給装置を吹込みノズル16に接続すると、Arガスが、浸漬ノズル1内を流動する溶鋼に適宜に供給されることとなる。   By the way, the upper end of the immersion nozzle 1 is connected to the bottom of the tundish via a molten steel flow rate adjusting unit for adjusting the discharge flow rate of the molten steel discharged from the immersion nozzle 1 into the mold. The molten steel flow rate control unit will be outlined below. Please refer to FIG. FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a molten steel flow rate adjusting unit to which an immersion nozzle is connected. As shown in the figure, the molten steel flow rate adjusting unit 13 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a slide plate 14 that can be opened and closed in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface at the center in the extending direction, and a porous shape at the upper part in the extending direction. A ring 15 is provided. This ring 15 serves as a gas ejection hole for injecting an inert gas typified by Ar gas into the molten steel flowing in the flow path formed inside the immersion nozzle 1 and the molten steel flow rate adjusting unit 13. An appropriate blowing nozzle 16 is provided. With the above configuration, when an Ar gas supply device (not shown) is connected to the blowing nozzle 16, Ar gas is appropriately supplied to the molten steel flowing in the immersion nozzle 1.

そして、以上のように構成される浸漬ノズル1は、その周壁に穿孔される溶鋼吐出孔2の穿孔方向4(図3も併せて参照。)が鋳型の幅方向と一致するようにタンディッシュ(実質的には溶鋼流量調節ユニット13)に着設される。   The immersion nozzle 1 configured as described above is a tundish so that the perforation direction 4 (see also FIG. 3) of the molten steel discharge hole 2 perforated on the peripheral wall coincides with the width direction of the mold. Substantially attached to the molten steel flow rate adjusting unit 13).

以上の構成の浸漬ノズル1を採用することにより奏される効果を図5に基づいて説明する。図5は、溶鋼の流れをイメージした図である。即ち、浸漬ノズル1から鋳型内へ若干斜め下向きに吐出される溶鋼の流れの一部が、更に斜め下向きに形成される溶鋼吐出溝5内を通過することで、溶鋼吐出孔2から吐出される溶鋼の流れが分散される。従って、鋳型内へ吐出される溶鋼の流量を確保しつつ、鋳型コーナー部における溶鋼の流速を低速化できるので、凝固遅れの抑制に寄与する。   The effect produced by employing the immersion nozzle 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an image of the flow of molten steel. That is, a part of the flow of molten steel discharged slightly obliquely downward from the immersion nozzle 1 into the mold is discharged from the molten steel discharge hole 2 by passing through the molten steel discharge groove 5 formed obliquely downward. The flow of molten steel is dispersed. Accordingly, the flow rate of the molten steel at the mold corner can be reduced while ensuring the flow rate of the molten steel discharged into the mold, which contributes to the suppression of solidification delay.

以下、本実施形態に係る浸漬ノズル1の技術的効果を確認するための計算に関して説明する。上述した各数値範囲などは、下記の第一計算〜第三計算により合理的に裏付けられている。   Hereinafter, calculation for confirming the technical effect of the immersion nozzle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Each numerical range described above is reasonably supported by the following first to third calculations.

<凝固遅れとブレークアウトとの因果関係>
先ず、第一計算〜第三計算について説明する前に、本発明が凝固遅れに着目している根拠、即ち「凝固遅れとブレークアウトとの因果関係」について説明することで浸漬ノズル1を凝固遅れの観点から評価することの意義を説明する。
<Causal relationship between coagulation delay and breakout>
First, before describing the first calculation to the third calculation, the reason why the present invention pays attention to the solidification delay, that is, the “causal relationship between the solidification delay and the breakout” is explained, and the immersion nozzle 1 is then solidified. Explain the significance of evaluation from the viewpoint of.

上記実施形態に係る浸漬ノズル1を用いることにより期される効果は、前述したように主として鋳型内への溶鋼吐出流量を確保しつつ、鋳型コーナー部における溶鋼の流速を低速化して凝固遅れを抑制することである。更には、これにより究極的には所謂ブレークアウト(凝固シェル内の溶鋼が凝固シェル外部へ流出してしまう現象)を回避することを目的とする。そこで、ここでは、凝固遅れを定量的に評価するための凝固遅れ度を定義すると共に、この凝固遅れ度とブレークアウトとの因果関係について説明する。   The effect expected by using the immersion nozzle 1 according to the above embodiment is to suppress the solidification delay by lowering the flow rate of the molten steel at the mold corner while mainly securing the molten steel discharge flow rate into the mold as described above. It is to be. Furthermore, this aims to ultimately avoid a so-called breakout (a phenomenon in which molten steel in the solidified shell flows out of the solidified shell). Therefore, here, the degree of coagulation delay for quantitatively evaluating the coagulation delay is defined, and the causal relationship between the degree of coagulation delay and the breakout will be described.

即ち、「凝固遅れ」とは凝固シェルの部分的な成長遅れをいい、その定量化には凝固遅れ度が用いられる。「凝固遅れ度」は、図6に示すホワイトバンドに基づく。「ホワイトバンド」とは、凝固中のシェル前方の溶質が溶鋼流動により洗浄されて現れる線状組織であり、凝固シェルの成長の様子を表す。コーナー部のシェルBと健全部のシェルAの厚さに差が生じると、凝固遅れ部と健全部の凝固に伴う収縮量が異なり、凝固遅れ部には鋳片幅方向の引張応力が集中し、縦割の原因となる。縦割の程度が大きくなると凝固シェル内の溶鋼が凝固シェル外部へ流出し、ブレークアウトが発生する。過去のデータ(下記表1参照)で、凝固遅れ度が40%を越えるとブレークアウトが発生した実績があるために凝固遅れ度40%を許容上限とした。   That is, “solidification delay” refers to partial growth delay of the solidified shell, and the degree of solidification delay is used for quantification. “Degree of coagulation delay” is based on the white band shown in FIG. The “white band” is a linear structure that appears when the solute in front of the shell being solidified is washed by the molten steel flow, and represents the growth of the solidified shell. If there is a difference in the thickness of the shell B at the corner and the shell A at the healthy part, the shrinkage amount due to solidification of the solidification delayed part and the healthy part will differ, and the tensile stress in the slab width direction will concentrate on the solidification delayed part. Cause vertical splitting. When the degree of vertical split increases, the molten steel in the solidified shell flows out of the solidified shell and breakout occurs. In past data (see Table 1 below), there is a record that breakout occurs when the degree of solidification delay exceeds 40%.

The molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] of the molten steel when passing through the immersion nozzle inlet was set to 25 or 35. The molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] means the difference between the molten steel temperature and the solidification start temperature, and the setting of 25 ° C. corresponds to the target actual operation, and the setting of 35 ° C. was provided. This is because a slightly higher temperature should be sufficiently verified in consideration of variations in actual operation.

(鋳型)
・鋳型幅[m]は、1.26とする。
・鋳型厚み[m]は、0.24とする。
・浸漬ノズル1を介して鋳型内へ注湯される溶鋼は、メニスカス距離M[m]を6として観念される鋳型内の仮想的な水平面を均一に通過して排出されることとする。なお、「メニスカス距離M[m]」とは、鋳型内の溶鋼湯面を起点とし、鋳造経路に沿って観念される距離を意味する。
(template)
・ The mold width [m] is 1.26.
-Mold thickness [m] shall be 0.24.
-Molten steel poured into the mold through the immersion nozzle 1 passes through an imaginary horizontal plane in the mold that is considered to have a meniscus distance M [m] of 6 and is discharged. The “meniscus distance M [m]” means a distance that is considered along the casting path starting from the molten steel surface in the mold.

(浸漬ノズル)
・浸漬ノズル1は、その下端のメニスカス距離M[m]が0.29となるように鋳型内へ垂直に設置する。このとき、溶鋼吐出孔2・2(図2を併せて参照。)は鋳型の狭面に対面するようにする。
・浸漬ノズル1の内径D[mm](図2を併せて参照。)は、85とする。
・溶鋼は、メニスカス距離M[m]を-0.8として観念される浸漬ノズル1内流路の仮想的な円形の面のうち鋳型厚み方向に分割された半円の面を均一に通過して流入することとする。このようにしたのは、スライドプレートによる影響や流路内に不均一に形成される付着介在物による影響を模擬するためである。
(Immersion nozzle)
The immersion nozzle 1 is installed vertically in the mold so that the meniscus distance M [m] at the lower end is 0.29. At this time, the molten steel discharge holes 2 and 2 (see also FIG. 2) face the narrow surface of the mold.
-The inner diameter D [mm] of the immersion nozzle 1 (see also FIG. 2) is 85.
-Molten steel flows uniformly through the semicircular surface divided in the mold thickness direction among the virtual circular surfaces of the flow path in the immersion nozzle 1, which is considered to have a meniscus distance M [m] of -0.8. I decided to. The reason for this is to simulate the influence of the slide plate and the influence of the inclusions that are unevenly formed in the flow path.

(計算結果の評価の方法)
・鋳型内における定常状態の溶鋼流速Uと、所定の計算式と、に基づいて凝固遅れ度を算出する。
・「鋳型内における定常状態の溶鋼流速U」は、以下のように得るものとする。即ち、第一に、4つのコーナーの近傍である所定の複数の地点における溶鋼の定常状態の流速を記録する。ここで、「コーナーの近傍である所定の複数の地点」とは具体的に、メニスカス距離M[m]は0.5、0.7、0.9、1.1であり、狭面から20[mm]離れ、広面から20[mm]離れた地点を意味するものとし、「溶鋼の定常状態の流速」は、溶鋼の定常状態の流速のうち鉛直成分の流速を指すものとする。第二に、上記記録した4つの流速データを各コーナ毎に平均する。この平均化された流速データのうち最も大きい流速を「鋳型内における定常状態の溶鋼流速U」として記録する。
・「所定の計算式」は、下記式で表される式であり、これは上記「鋳型内における定常状態の溶鋼流速U」と、凝固温度からの溶鋼過熱度ΔTと、が凝固遅れ度(R.S.C.)に与える影響を数式化したものである(中田:日本学術振興会製鋼第19委員会凝固プロセス研究会資料、19委-12227、凝固プロセスIV39、2006)。
R.S.C[%]=(0.0361×(U0.8・ΔT)+0.1132)×100
(Method of evaluating calculation results)
The solidification delay is calculated based on the steady-state molten steel flow velocity U in the mold and a predetermined calculation formula.
-"The steady-state molten steel flow velocity U in the mold" shall be obtained as follows. That is, first, the steady state flow velocity of the molten steel at a plurality of predetermined points in the vicinity of the four corners is recorded. Here, specifically, the “predetermined plural points in the vicinity of the corner” means that the meniscus distance M [m] is 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 20 [mm] away from the narrow surface, and 20 from the wide surface. It is assumed that the point is [mm] away, and “steady-state flow velocity of molten steel” refers to the flow velocity of the vertical component of the steady-state flow velocity of molten steel. Second, the four recorded flow velocity data are averaged for each corner. The largest flow rate among the averaged flow rate data is recorded as “steady state molten steel flow rate U in the mold”.
The “predetermined calculation formula” is an expression expressed by the following formula, which is the above-mentioned “steady state molten steel flow velocity U in the mold” and the molten steel superheat degree ΔT from the solidification temperature.

次に、第一〜第三計算を具体的に説明する。なお、上記の事項と重複する内容については適宜に割愛する。   Next, the first to third calculations will be specifically described. In addition, about the content which overlaps with said matter, it omits suitably.

<第一計算>
本計算は、Δθ(図2参照。)に着目するものである。計算条件は、下記表2を参照されたい。試験結果を同じく表2と図8に示す。
<First calculation>
This calculation focuses on Δθ (see FIG. 2). See Table 2 below for calculation conditions. The test results are also shown in Table 2 and FIG.

Figure 2008200705
Figure 2008200705

これら表2及び図8によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を25とする場合において、上記の差Δθ[deg.]を15〜45とすると、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。この差Δθ[deg.]を15以上とすると凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできるのは、溶鋼吐出孔2から吐出される溶鋼が十分に分散されたからだと考えられる。一方、この差Δθ[deg.]が45より大きくなると凝固遅れ度についての評価が良好とならないのは、溝と吐出孔の角度差が大き過ぎるために、溶鋼が溝部に導入されず吐出孔の穿孔方向に吐出されて溶鋼流が鋳型内で分散されないからだと考えられる。   According to Table 2 and FIG. 8, when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is 25 and the difference Δθ [deg.] Is 15 to 45, the solidification delay degree can be evaluated well. I understand. If the difference Δθ [deg.] Is set to 15 or more, it is considered that the evaluation of the degree of solidification delay is good because the molten steel discharged from the molten steel discharge holes 2 is sufficiently dispersed. On the other hand, if the difference Δθ [deg.] Is greater than 45, the evaluation of the degree of solidification delay is not good because the angle difference between the groove and the discharge hole is too large, so that the molten steel is not introduced into the groove and the discharge hole This is probably because the molten steel flow is not dispersed in the mold by being discharged in the drilling direction.

同様に、これら表2及び図8によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を35とする場合において、上記の差Δθ[deg.]を25〜40とすると、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。その理由は、上記と同様であると言える。   Similarly, according to Table 2 and FIG. 8, when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is 35 and the difference Δθ [deg.] Is 25 to 40, the evaluation of the solidification delay is good. It can be seen that. The reason can be said to be the same as above.

<第二計算>
本計算は、a/A(図1参照。)に着目するものである。計算条件は、下記表3を参照されたい。試験結果を同じく表3と図9に示す。
<Second calculation>
This calculation focuses on a / A (see FIG. 1). See Table 3 below for the calculation conditions. The test results are also shown in Table 3 and FIG.

Figure 2008200705
Figure 2008200705

これら表3及び図9によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を25とする場合において、上記のa/Aを0.1〜0.9とすると、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。このa/Aを0.1以上とすると凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできるのは、溶鋼吐出孔2から吐出される溶鋼が十分に分散されたからだと考えられる。一方、このa/Aが0.9より大きくなると凝固遅れ度についての評価が良好とならないのは、溝幅が大きすぎて溶鋼が溝部にまとまって導入され、鋳型内で溶鋼が分散されないからだと考えられる。   According to Table 3 and FIG. 9, it can be seen that when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is 25 and the a / A is 0.1 to 0.9, the solidification delay degree can be evaluated well. If the a / A is 0.1 or more, it is considered that the evaluation of the degree of solidification delay is good because the molten steel discharged from the molten steel discharge holes 2 is sufficiently dispersed. On the other hand, if the a / A is greater than 0.9, the evaluation of the solidification delay is not good because the groove width is too large and molten steel is introduced into the groove and the molten steel is not dispersed in the mold. .

同様に、これら表3及び図9によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を35とする場合において、上記のa/Aを0.2〜0.8とすると、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。その理由は、上記と同様であると言える。   Similarly, according to Table 3 and FIG. 9, when the above-mentioned a / A is 0.2 to 0.8 when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is 35, the solidification delay degree can be evaluated well. I understand. The reason can be said to be the same as above.

<第三計算>
本計算は、b/B(図2を併せて参照。)に着目するものである。計算条件は、下記表4を参照されたい。試験結果を同じく表4と図10に示す。
<Third calculation>
This calculation focuses on b / B (see also FIG. 2). See Table 4 below for calculation conditions. The test results are also shown in Table 4 and FIG.

Figure 2008200705
Figure 2008200705

これら表4及び図10によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を25とする場合において、上記のb/Bを何れの値に設定しても、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。   According to Table 4 and FIG. 10, when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is set to 25, the solidification delay degree can be evaluated satisfactorily regardless of the value of b / B. I understand.

一方で、これら表4及び図10によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔT[℃]を35とする場合において、上記のb/Bを0.4以上とすると、凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできることが判る。このb/Bを0.4以上としなければ凝固遅れ度についての評価を良好とできないのは、溝部に導入された溶鋼が溝に沿って吐出されるために必要な溝の奥行きが不十分だからだと考えられる。   On the other hand, according to Table 4 and FIG. 10, when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT [° C.] is 35 and the b / B is 0.4 or more, the solidification delay degree can be evaluated well. . The reason why the solidification delay degree cannot be evaluated well unless b / B is set to 0.4 or more is that the depth of the groove necessary for the molten steel introduced into the groove to be discharged along the groove is insufficient. Conceivable.

以上説明したように上記実施形態において浸漬ノズル1は以下のように構成される。即ち、タンディッシュ内に保持される溶鋼を鋳型内へ注湯するのに供される有底円筒状の浸漬ノズル1である。該浸漬ノズル1の周壁に一対の対向する溶鋼吐出孔2が穿孔されると共に、前記溶鋼吐出孔2の内底面3には、前記浸漬ノズル1の底面視において前記溶鋼吐出孔2の穿孔方向4と平行に延びる溶鋼吐出溝5が刻設される。更に下記式(1)及び(2)を満足する。

That is, it is a bottomed cylindrical immersion nozzle 1 used for pouring molten steel held in a tundish into a mold. A pair of opposed molten steel discharge holes 2 are drilled in the peripheral wall of the immersion nozzle 1, and the inner bottom surface 3 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 has a drilling direction 4 of the molten steel discharge hole 2 in the bottom view of the immersion nozzle 1.

以上の構成によれば、鋳型内への溶鋼吐出流量を確保しつつ、溶鋼吐出孔2から吐出される溶鋼の流れが分散されて、鋳型コーナー部における溶鋼の流速を低速化して凝固遅れを抑制できる。   According to the above configuration, while ensuring the flow rate of molten steel into the mold, the flow of molten steel discharged from the molten steel discharge hole 2 is dispersed, and the flow rate of molten steel at the corner of the mold is reduced to suppress solidification delay. it can.

上記の浸漬ノズル1は、更に以下のように構成される。即ち、下記式(3)〜(5)を満足する。

The immersion nozzle 1 is further configured as follows. That is, the following expressions (3) to (5) are satisfied.
a / A = 0.2-0.8 ... (3)
Δθ [deg.] = 25-40 ... (4)
b / B ≧ 0.4 ... (5)
However,

B is the separation distance in the radial direction between the inner peripheral surface 6 of the immersion nozzle 1 and the outer peripheral surface 7 of the immersion nozzle 1

以上の構成によれば、溶鋼過熱度ΔTが高めな条件となっても、鋳型内への溶鋼吐出流量を確保しつつ、凝固遅れを抑制できる。   According to the above configuration, solidification delay can be suppressed while securing the molten steel discharge flow rate into the mold even when the molten steel superheat degree ΔT is high.

以上に本発明の好適な実施形態を説明したが、上記実施形態は以下のように変更できる。   Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment can be modified as follows.
