Each tuyere comprises an oxygen inlet tube surrounded by a larger concentric inlet tube for the simultaneous injection of a jacket gas. This jacket gas acts as a coolant, reducing the rate of reaction between the molten metal and the oxygen adjacent the tuyere preventing rapid erosion of the tuyere. Thus the furnace lining and the tuyere wear at the same rate. Heretofore, tuyeres have been of symmetrical cross-section, generally cylindrically shaped, the outer tube being spaced from the inner tube by a number of small beads welded to one of the tubes, or by a spiral of wire welded to one of the tubes, or by any other convenient means for maintaining concentricity.
In the bottom blown steelmaking process, spitting" is quite common. Spitting is the propulsion of bath and slag material onto the upper walls and nose of the vessel. Severe spitting can result in actually blocking the mouth of the vessel. This requires that the solidified material in the mouth of the vessel be removed mechanically, which, of course, necessitates shutting down the operation of the vessel. Removal of solidified material also damages the refractory lining of the vessel necessitating repair and long vessel shutdown periods.
I have determined that spitting is dependent upon three factors: (I the depth of the bath, (2) the oxygen flow rate, and (3) the tuyere size. lhave observed that heats made with bottoms having small tuyere openings have less spitting than heats made with bottoms having large tuyere openings, provided the gas pressures at the tuyere inlets are equal.
The bath depth depends upon the amount of wear of the lining of the vessel, especially around the sides and thus cannot be well controlled. Further, if it were desirable to add more metal to the bath to increase the bath depth, this would increase the heat size, and it is probable that the tapping equipment would be required to be modified to accommodate such larger heat size. In order to reduce spitting by reducing the oxygen flow rate, one would necessarily increase the blowing time of the heat which is extremely undesirable as it increases the tap-to-tap time and correspondingly reduces production. Therefore, the only variable which can readily be controlled is the tuyere size.
I have invented a tuyere construction that reduces spitting, yet allows the same amount of gas flow as a large tuyere because it has the same cross-sectional area.
My tuyere can have any elongated shape wherein its length to width ratio is 2 to l or greater, which has the same cross-sectional area as a circular tuyere for the required oxygen flow rate. This tuyere will reduce spitting in the vessel markedly in comparison to a round tuyere of the same cross-sectional area, having the same oxygen flow rate in a vessel with the same bath depth.
It is the principal object of this invention to provide a tuyere construction for a bottom blown oxygen steelmaking vessel which will reduce spitting in the vessel.
It is another object to provide a tuyere construction which will deliver oxygen to the vessel at the optimum flow rate.
These and other objects will become more apparent by referring to the following specification and the ap pended drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a bottom blown oxygen steelmaking vessel;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical crosssectional view taken through a conventional tuyere and the bath above the tuyere having velocity curves superimposed on the gas jet;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of one embodiment of my tuyere construction;
FIG. 4 is a horizontal cross-section view of the embodiment of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an additional embodiment of my tuyere construction having a semicircular cross-section;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a rectangular tuyere construction;
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a rhombic tuyere construction; and
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a triangular tuyere.
construction.
As shown in FIG. 1, a bottom blown oxygen steelmaking vessel 10 has a refractory lining l2 and a removable bottom 13, comprising a bottom plate 14, and one or more generally upstanding tuyeres 16, which are surrounded by a refractory material 18. The bottom plate 14 is fastened to the furnace by bolts 20. The sides of the refractory portion of the removable bottom do not contact the refractory lining 12 of the vessel, but sufficient clearance is provided around the bottom for inserting a gunning mixture 24 to provide a metal and slag-tight seal.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, dual concentric tuyere 16, comprising inner tube 30 and outer tube 32 is located in the bottom of a vessel. Tube 30 is spaced from tube 32 by spacers 34 which maybe weld beads as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, spiral wound wire or any other suitable means for maintaining concentricity. The central tube 30 delivers oxygen and lime to the molten metal bath. A jacketing gas, which is, in this case, natural gas, is delivered to the bath through the annular space 36 between the central tube 30 and the outer tube 32. Upon emergence of the gases into the bath, they expand as shown in FIG. 2. The gases diffuse into the bath or mix with the bath as bubbles, leaving a gas pocket 40 generally as indicated on the drawing which is roughly in the shape of a candle flame. The oxygen pressure should be equal to or greater than that of the jacket gas. The velocity of the gases is sonic at their entrance into the bath, however, the velocity curves superimposed upon the gas pocket in FIG. 2 show that the velocities are low at the edge of the pocket due to interaction with the bath and higher at the center until the gas is totally dissipated. Should this gas pocket or jet become so elongated as to penetrate the surface of the bath, an extremely great amount of spitting would occur. The xaxis of the velocity curve represents the distance (d) from the central vertical axis of the gas jet. The y-axis represents the velocity (v) of the gas as it varies from zero to sonic velocity.
I have found that any noncircular oblong shape will have the effect of reducing the height of the jet of gas in the bath and thus will reduce the tendency of spitting to occur in such bath. Any elongated shape will accomplish this. Some suitable shapes are a triangle, rectangle, half circle, diamond or rhombus, ellipse or pointed ellipse. The length to width ratio of the cross-section of the shape would be 2 to l or more. Although it usually would be, it need not be symmetrical about a center line.
A second advantage is present for these oblong tuyeres. The larger interface which is provided by the elongated jet stream gives a more rapid and better dephosphorization of the bath. Dephosphorization occurs at the interface between the gas jet and this molten metal bath. This is an important difference between Q-BOP and BOP steelmaking. In the BOP dephosphorization occurs by metal reaction with the surface slag layer. In the Q-BOP dephosphorization primarily occurs at the surface of the jet within the bath where FeO, phosphorus and CaO are present. The CaO is derived from the powdered lime blown with the oxygen. The FeO is formed through reaction of blown-in oxygen and Fe in the bath. The phosphorus is a normal contaminant of the charged blast furnace hot metal.
It is readily apparent from the foregoing that l have invented a tuyere construction for a Q-BOP steelmaking vessel which will reduce spitting in the vessel yet will deliver oxygen to the bath at the optimum flow rate.
