Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a sampler for improving slag control and cooling performance, and a composite probe having the same. [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sampler and a composite probe having the sampler, and more particularly, to a sampler including a moving member that provides a path connecting a loss and a beat, and a composite probe having the sampler.

Generally, in a steel mill refining process, a composite probe equipped with a sampler is immersed in a molten metal to conduct a sample collection operation for temperature measurement, surveying, and component analysis.

For example, in the stainless steel refining (AOD) process, a high temperature (1600 to 1800 ° C) of molten metal is produced as a large amount of oxygen is blown to oxidize carbon. Particularly, in order to confirm the temperature and components in the oxidizer, the temperature is measured and sampled by using a sub-lance probe. The temperature at which the molten metal flows into the sampler is 1700 to 1800 ° C., but the solidification temperature is low : About 1490 ° C, sts.304: about 1450 ° C) It takes a long time to solidify. In addition, the molten metal of stainless steel has a large superheating degree (DELTA T) of the molten metal and a low thermal conductivity of 1/4 of that of the carbon steel, so that the solidifying time becomes longer, resulting in frequent occurrence of solidification defects.

In addition, ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) has a temperature exceeding 1,800 占 폚 at the time of oxidation in the production process. However, when the standard of Fe-70% Mn is used, the coagulation temperature is about 1170 ° C., and the superheating degree (ΔT) of the molten metal is larger than that of stainless steel having a superheating degree of about 300 ° C.

<Note: Example of calculation method of theoretical solidification temperature>

℃ /% = Decomposition temperature falling when 1% of component (C, Mn, Cr or Ni)

□ STS (304: 18Cr-8Ni) Solidification temperature:

1560 占 폚 (solid iron solidification temperature) - 63 占 폚 (27 + 32 + 3.8) - 17 占 폚 (other component) = about 1,450 占 폚

□ Fe-70% Mn Solidification temperature:

1536 캜 - 354 캜 (350 + 3.8) - 12 캜 (other component) = about 1,170 캜

* STS 304 Melted water superheat (ΔT) = 1,750 ° C (measured temperature) - 1,450 ° C = 300 ° C (STS 304)

(Fe-70% Mn) - 1,700 ° C = 580 ° C (Fe-70% Mn)

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of the present invention can be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described below. The embodiments are provided to explain the present invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Accordingly, the shape of each element shown in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded view schematically showing a composite probe; FIG. The composite probe 10 includes a plurality of main pipe tubes 11 forming a long axis to surround the outside of the sampler 30 and a sensor unit 20 for detecting information on the temperature, And a compensating wire for connecting the probe with an electric signal is connected to the holder 23 through the connector 22 inside the probe upper protective tube. The sensor unit 20 may be equipped with a thermocouple for temperature measurement, a sensor for oxygen measurement, a level sensor capable of measuring a bath surface, and a sensor for detecting a specific element, if necessary. The holder 23 is connected to an elevating device such as a sub-lance, and is immersed in a molten metal such as molten steel in a converter or the like, and then is lifted. The connector 22 provides an electrical and mechanical connection of the probe 10 and the holder.

The main branch pipe (11) is generally formed of a branch pipe, and the sampler (30) is mounted inside the main branch pipe (11). The main branch pipe (11) has an opening (12) through which molten metal such as molten steel flows. The sampler 30 stabilizes the vortex at the pouring port 31 and the pouring chamber 32 which are drilled to allow the molten metal to flow into the upper chamber 32 and the lower chamber 32 at which the introduced molten metal temporarily stays, And a blanket (33) allowing the blanket (34) to be introduced. In addition, the sampler 30 includes a cylindrical mold having a bead 34 connected to the loss mold 32 and communicating with the loss chamber 32 to form a sample. The molten metal flowing into the sprue canal 31 passes through the upper chamber 32 and enters the mouth 34 to be solidified.

The remainder 32 is generally made of a ceramic material of alumina (Al2O3) type, and the bead 34 is made of heat resistant steel. The molten metal is solidified only in (34) and the molten metal has a high superheating degree (ΔT) such as stainless steel, Fe-Mn, Fe-Si It takes a long time to coagulate. It is preferable that the sprue plug 31 is configured so as to have a stopping protrusion due to a difference in diameter, and is configured to be able to catch the sprue case 40, which will be described later, as a sprue member.

Heat-resistant cement (not shown) is used for adhesion between the opening 12 and the spruce case 40. The upper surface 42 of the spruce case 40 is prevented from flowing into the upper layer of the molten slag, It is preferable to attach a cap (not shown) made of paper or steel in order to prevent foreign matter that can be infiltrated into the inside of the chamber 32 during manufacture and transportation.

At this time, the sampler 30 is a measuring device existing to identify a representative component of the molten metal, and the collected sample is cut up and down, and the lower end surface is analyzed by an analyzer (XRF, Emission, ICP, etc.).

2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a sampler according to an embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of main branch pipes 11 surround the outside of the sampler 30 and a sensor unit 20 for detecting information such as temperature and components of the molten metal is attached to the lower end of the probe 10 as required, 20 may be equipped with a thermocouple for temperature measurement, a sensor for oxygen measurement, a level sensor capable of measuring a bath surface, and a sensor for detecting a specific element, if necessary. The holder 23 is connected to an elevating device such as a sub-lance, and is immersed in a molten metal such as molten steel in a converter or the like, and then is lifted. The connector 22 provides electrical and mechanical connection of the probe 10 and the holder 23.

The sampler 30 is mounted inside the main branch pipe 11 and the main branch pipe 11 has an opening 33a through which molten metal such as molten steel flows. The lost mold is stabilized by the vortex 32 in which the introduced molten metal temporarily stays and the vortex holes 31 and 32 in which the molten metal is poured to allow the molten metal to flow in. 34 to allow the water to flow therethrough. Further, the sampler 30 has a beaker 34 connected to the loss mold and communicating with the loss chamber 32 to form a sample. The molten metal flowing into the sprue canal 31 passes through the upper chamber 32 and enters the mouth 34 to be solidified.

The filter 13 may be installed between the sprue 31 and the sprue 33 to control the flow of the molten metal and the temperature of the molten metal entering the sprue 34. Particularly, it is preferable to use a ceramic filter in order to suppress slag inclusion of the filter.

2, the moving member 50 is installed between the upper chamber 32 and the lower chamber 34 (or the lower chamber 33) and has an inlet 51 and an outlet 53, a connecting port 52, As shown in FIG. The molten metal flowing into the sprue 31 passes through the passage 32 of the movable member 50 through the upper chamber 32 and then enters the freezer 34 and solidifies.

The connecting port 52 is located between the inlet 51 and the outlet 53 and has a minimum diameter (or cross-sectional area) smaller than the inlet 51 and the outlet 53 and the connecting port 52 is located at the inlet 51). The inner circumferential surface of the passage is inclined inward toward the connection port 52 from the inlet port 51 and inclined outward from the connection port 52 toward the outlet port 53. [ The blanket 33 is larger than the connecting port 52 and has a smaller diameter than the inlet 51 and the outlet 53. This is to prevent the molten metal moving through the tundish 33 from moving to the freezer 34 without going through the shifting member 50. The passageway is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the threshing 32 and the freezing 34 It is symmetrical about the center axis.

As the molten metal moves from the upper chamber 32 to the lower chamber 34 through the passage of the moving member 50, the molten metal flows through the contact surface of the inner peripheral surface of the passage at a constant speed Cooling can be induced, and the cooling rate can be adjusted by adjusting the contact area.

On the inner circumferential surface of the passage leading from the connecting port 52 to the outlet 53, the inclination of the upper surface smoothly flows the molten metal toward the bead 34 and flows along the inclined bottom surface due to the surface tension of the molten metal Therefore, the contact area with the molten metal can be increased as compared with the case where it is formed at a right angle. Generally, when the molten metal flows into the workpiece 34 and solidifies, the workpiece is solidified due to the internal gas, etc. At this time, the molten metal can be further introduced through the inclined bottom surface, so that even if the center portion is deflected, the sampling failure rate can be lowered because the sample without the beak can be sampled.

Particularly, due to the moving member formed by the inclined lower surface, the filling of the molten metal is increased, so that the solidification of the upper surface is delayed compared to the conventional method. Accordingly, It is possible to prevent defects such as bubbles due to gas inside the sample. The moving member 50 is preferably made of a metal material to improve the cooling performance of the molten metal, but may be made of a ceramic material.

On the other hand, although the conventional tongue-and-groove molding was made of silica-based cement, there were cases where the diameter was decreased according to skill of the operator. In order to solve this problem and to minimize the contamination of the analytical sample, it is preferable that the above-described sprue case 400 is designed with alumina material and attached. As a result, sample filling can be improved by stable introduction of molten metal.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a sampler according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are photographs showing the denitration agent shown in FIG.

When producing high-nitrogen stainless steels, the solubility of nitrogen is increased as high as 0.1 wt%, causing bubble defects in the analytical sample. Therefore, it is preferable to use titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al), which have high affinity with nitrogen, as the denitration agent 62 to secure sample integrity.

As shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the denitrifying agent 60 may include a flat plate 62 and a coil 64. Fig. The flat plate 62 may be a rectangular flat plate curved with respect to the center of the long side, and the coil 64 may have a cylindrical shape wound along the height direction. The flat plate 62 is mounted on the center of the coil 64 in a bent state, and thus the denitration ability can be sufficiently secured, and the denitration agent 60 can be effectively disposed in a limited space.

Although the present invention has been described in detail by way of preferred embodiments thereof, other forms of embodiment are possible. Therefore, the technical idea and scope of the claims set forth below are not limited to the preferred embodiments.
