Definitions
- My invention generally pertains to a method and apparatus which provides a gaseous protective atmosphere around a liquid stream during transfer between containers.
- the invention has general applicability to any transfer process in which it is desired to protect the transferred material.
- My invention comprises the use of an open-ended tube through which a protective gaseous atmosphere is continuously passed in a manner which causes the gas to exit from both ends of the tube.
- the liquid transfer stream is passed through the unconfined protective atmosphere which exits from the tube, then through the protective atmosphere within the tube, and then through the unconfined protective atmosphere which exits from the other end of the tube. In this manner, the entire stream is protected during transfer.
- the above patents also do not provide for extreme ease of inspection of the liquid stream while it is being transferred. More over, the above protective devices are not of a nature that they may be easily removed or repaired and subsequently replaced during the transfer process. This ability is particularly important when the transfer process cannot be conveniently stopped due to overriding operational considerations.
- the device embodied by the Austrian patent also typifies problems inherent in prior art protective devices and methods. This device basically consists of attaching a refractory shroud to the initial container or vessel and immersing the lower portion of the shroud in the molten pool formed in the collecting vessel. It is obvious that the protective device cannot be readily removed and replaced or adjusted when required from time-to-time during operation of the transfer process.
- the ceramic device must be broken in order to attain immediate access to the various containers.
- the ceramic shroud would either have to be replaced (a time consuming and extremely awkward procedure) or its use and benefits discontinued. Either alternative is undesirable.
- this technique does not provide protection for the top surface of the collected liquid in the collecting vessel.
- the device comprises a first tubular member having open ends and dimensioned so as to be able to be positioned between a liquid exit opening of a liquid container and a liquid entry opening of a second container without contacting the containers.
- a second tubular member is attached to the first tubular member so as to form an interconnecting passageway between the tubular members.
- Positioning means are attached to the second tubular member to permit the first tubular member to be pivotally placed between the transfer containers and also to be removed from such position.
- a protective gas is passed through the second tubular member into the first tubular member in a manner which causes the gas to exit from both ends of the member.
- the method of my invention generally comprises protecting a stream of liquid from contamination during transfer by shrouding it from the atmosphere through the use of a protective gas.
- the stream is first passed through an unconfined protective gas which is generally moving in an opposite direction with respect to the stream.
- the stream then passes through a tube which contains and confines the protective atmosphere in a direction parallel to that of the stream.
- the gas As the gas enters the tube in such a manner as to flow toward both open ends of the tube, it can be seen that the gas will flow in opposite directions while in the tube. This aspect is illustrated by use of arrows in the FIGURE.
- the stream will first encounter gas which flows countercurrent to the stream and then gas which flows concurrent with the stream.
- the gas flow Upon exit from the tube interior, the gas flow will, of course, generally be in the same direction as the stream.
- the second container is filled with the protective gas which issues from the lower end of the vertical tube.
- Such protective gas not only served to protect the liquid stream while in transit, but also functions to protect the surface of the collected liquid.
- the invention provides a continuous gaseous shroud for the stream during the entire transfer process even though opposite gas flow is effected during certain portions of the shrouding process.
- the use of the two unconfined shrouded areas of protection offer important advantages.
- This advantage has obvious applicability when the transfer process involves the continuous casting of steel from a tundish. Here, it is often necessary to obtain access to the tundish nozzle to correct undesirable metal stream conditions such as frozen nozzles, reduced metal flow, nozzle chills, ragged streams, etc.
- the continuous casting of metal is also useful to illustrate a further advantage of my invention.
- This advantage is that the inventive device may be selectively passed through the moving liquid stream without damage to the device whenever it is desired to either operatively position or remove the device.
- the inventive device may be selectively passed through the moving liquid stream without damage to the device whenever it is desired to either operatively position or remove the device.
- problems associated with the nozzle before proper metal flow is initially attained.
- access to the nozzle is required.
- nozzle problems are first corrected and then the protective device is placed into position by moving the tube through the moving metal stream. This procedure provides for the creation of a stream having the desired flow characteristics and for subsequent protection of the stream.
- the method obviously has utility in protecting liquid streams of any material that would suffer a deleterious effect without protection. It is particularly applicable to the transfer or casting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in which it is desired to provide protection from oxidation.
- the reduction of non-metallic inclusions in steel by oxidation minimization is a typical example for which my process is adapted.
- Gas flow rates should, in general, be of a nature that the desired degree of protection can be attained. In this regard it is presently preferred to create a fairly low or slow flow rate in order to prevent possible aspiration of air in the unconfined areas of protection. It is probable that high flow rates which lead to excessive turbulent flow conditions should be avoided from the standpoints of air aspiration and cost of the protective gas.
- Suitable protective gases include argon, nitrogen, helium, other noble gases, and hydrocarbons such as natural gas, propane, coke oven gas, etc. It is also contemplated that admixtures of the above gases would be suitable for the purposes of this invention. Atomized hydrocarbon mists are also contemplated.
- tube dimensions and geometry can be varied greatly and still be within the scope of this invention.
- the tubes may be of round, oval, square, rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, etc. configuration.
- the choice of configuration is dependent upon such factors as the shape of the liquid stream and desired gas flow characteristics as well as the shape of the respective transfer containers. It would also be within the scope of this invention to provide a tubular member which had a different configuration and/or opening area at each end of the tube.
- the tube may be made of any suitable material which is of a nature and thickness, that will withstand contact with the liquid stream.
- suitable material would include, steel, other metals or alloys possessing elevated temperature resistance, as well as various refractory ceramic materials. If desired, composite metalrefractory tubes would also be suitable.
- FIGURE illustrates a preferred embodiment of an apparatus which is suitable for conducting the above described method.
- liquid stream
- Tubular member 14 is dimensioned so as to be able to be positioned between container 11 and container 13 without being placed in contact with the respective containers.
- a second tubular member, a rigid, horizontal gas connection tube 15, is attached to tubular member 14 at approximately its midpoint in a manner which forms an interconnecting passageway suitable for the passage of a protective gas between the respective tubular members.
- Positioning means 16 is connected to tube 15 in order to provide a means for pivoting the entire assembly. In this manner vertical tube 14 can be positioned between and/or removed from between container l1 and container 13.
- Positioning means 16 further comprises adjusting means 30, pivot means 31 and adjustment means 32.
- Adjusting means 30 permit connection tube, 15 to be rotated or twisted so that tubular member 14 may be ultimately tilted so as to change the vertical angle.
- Pivot means 31 functions to permit the entire tubular assembly to bepivoted about positioning member 16 whereby tubular member 14 may be pivotally moved so as to be able to alter horizontal placement or to move the tube in and out of its intended operating position.
- tubular member 14 could also be positioned by means which slidably or otherwise cause tubular member 14 to be positioned. Such means could be attached to either tubular member 14 or 15.
- Adjusting means 32 is a ball and socket arrangement which functions to permit ultimate changes in the vertical angular position of tube 14.
- Positioning member 16 is attached to support member 33 which in turn is attached to container 13.
- Protective gas is introduced into gas connection tube 15 through diffusion nozzle 17 which is fed from gas supply means 18.
- Diffusion nozzle 17 is desirably capable of creating a flow pattern and rate which will result in non-turbulent flow throughout the system. Such flow is considered to be preferred due to the possibility that a turbulent flow would cause aspiration of the ambient atmosphere and a consequent reduction in the protective capability of the system.
- the flow of gas throughout the system is depicted by the arrows on the drawing. It is also possible to introduce gas into tube 14 at a location or locations other than that depicted in the drawing.
- distribution container 11 may be a tundish or a ladle and collection container 13 may be for example, a tundish or a mold.
- collection container 13 may be for example, a tundish or a mold.
- the device When the invention is used in combination with a tundish and mold as in a continuous casting process, the device may be attached either to the mold, tundish, or independently thereof.
- the choice of attachment is simply one which is dictated by design considerations. For example, when used with an oscillating mold systern, it has been found to be expedient to attach the device to the oscillating mold' as no problems have been observed in actual operation. Where using a ladle as the initial transfer container, it is probable that the device would be best attached to the ladle rather than to the tundish or mold. This is especially true if the ladle were used to feed a series of discrete molds because the .ladle would necessarily be moved sequentially and 1.
