Definitions
- This invention relates to a tundish impact pad, i.e. a pad of erosion resistant material positioned on the floor of a tundish to receive the incoming stream of molten metal poured into the tundish from a ladle.
- an impact pad having a base to receive an incoming ladle stream and one or more sidewalls extending upwardly along the periphery of the base.
- Each sidewall has an inner surface having an undercut portion facing the incoming ladle stream and extending along the length of the inner surface, thereby providing a shaped surface to receive and reverse the direction of fluid flow generated by the incoming ladle stream.
- U.S. patent no. 5358551 discloses an impact pad having a bottom impact surface and an endless sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom impact surface and defining an opening into which molten metal is poured.
- the inner surface of the endless sidewall includes an annular portion which extends inwardly and upwardly towards the opening.
- the inner surface of the sidewall curves continuously from the bottom impact surface to a vertical wall defining the opening.
- the invention provides a tundish impact pad comprising a body of refractory material capable of withstanding contact with molten steel, the body comprising a base having an impact surface for molten steel, an outer sidewall extending upwardly from the impact surface, the outer sidewall extending around the base to completely enclose it, an annular body portion connected to the sidewall and providing a top surface substantially parallel to the impact surface and defining an opening into which molten steel can be poured, the lower face of the annular body portion and the inner face of the sidewall defining a recess having an undercut portion extending continuously around and above the impact surface, characterised in that a portion of the top surface is at a lower level than the remainder of the top surface and the recess beneath the portion of the top surface is of smaller cross-section than the remainder of the recess.
- the lower face of the annular body portion and the inner face of the sidewall provide a continuous curved surface which, at its lower end, merges into the impact surface of the base thereby providing a concave recess around the base, the recess having two discontinuities or steps, i.e. one at each end of the smaller recess portion.
- the impact pad is preferably four-sided in plan view and, in a particularly preferred embodiment, it has one pair of parallel sides, (defined by the outer surface of the sidewall) i.e. it is wedge-shaped.
- the longer parallel side preferably includes the first portion of the top surface, i.e. includes the lower top surface portion, and the smaller recess.
- the pad may be, for example, rectangular in plan view.
- the smaller recess is preferably not coterminous with the lower top surface portion and it is especially preferred that the smaller recess portion does not extend as far as the ends of the lower top surface portion, i.e. the smaller recess portion is not as long as the lower top surface.
- the lower top surface portion stops a little short of each end of that sidewall to provide a step up to a top surface level with the remainder of the surface extending around the other sides of the pad and the smaller recess portion extends underneath the lower top surface portion sufficiently that each of its ends overlaps the recess in its respective adjacent side of the pad but stops short of the aforesaid step.
- the impact pad of the invention is particularly intended for use with a longitudinally-extending tundish having a steel inlet zone towards the end opposite to the outlet zone(s).
- the invention provides a tundish having an inlet zone adjacent a first end thereof and an outlet zone adjacent the opposite end thereof, an impact pad positioned on the floor of the tundish in the inlet zone, the impact pad comprising a body of refractory material capable of withstanding contact with molten steel, the body comprising a base having an impact surface for molten steel, an outer sidewall extending upwardly from the impact surface, the outer sidewall extending around the base to completely enclose it, an annular body portion connected to the sidewall and providing a top surface substantially parallel to the impact surface and defining an opening into which molten steel can be poured, the lower face of the annular body portion and the inner face of the sidewall defining a recess having an undercut portion extending continuously around and above the impact surface, characterised in that a portion of the top surface is at a lower level than the remainder of the top surface and the recess beneath the portion of the top surface is of smaller cross-section than the remainder of the recess and the pad
- the longer parallel side of the pad is positioned facing the first end of the tundish.
- the impact pads of the invention have been found to be particularly useful in reducing surface turbulence in tundishes of the type described above and are equally useful in tundishes which are generally rectangular in plan view and tundishes which are generally of wedge shape, i.e. with two parallel sides, in plan view.
- the flow patterns of the molten metal within the tundish can be improved over those resulting from use of conventional impact pads.
- the impact pads may be formed from a castable refractory composition capable of withstanding continuous contact with molten metal, in particular molten steel such as is used in continuous casting operations.
- a castable refractory composition capable of withstanding continuous contact with molten metal, in particular molten steel such as is used in continuous casting operations.
- molten metal in particular molten steel
- a standard medium-to-high alumina refractory with an alumina content in the range of about 55% to 85% by weight is desirable.
- a basic refractory is preferred because of steel chemistry, it is preferred that a magnesia-based refractory composition be utilised, with MgO in the range of about 58% to 93% by weight.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of an impact pad of the invention
- Figure 2 is a section on line II - II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a view in the direction of arrow A of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 4 is a diagrammatic end profile of the pad in the direction of arrow A in Figure 3;
- FIG. 5 is a plan view of one form of tundish of the invention.
- Figure 6 is a plan view of another form of tundish of the invention.
- Figure 7 is a section on line VII - VII of Figure 6.
- a tundish impact pad 10 is of wedge-shaped plan form having two parallel sides 11 and 12, of which side 1 1 is longer, and two non-parallel sides 13 and 14 of equal length.
- the pad has a base 15 and an impact surface 16 to receive a stream of molten steel.
- An outer sidewall 17 extends upwardly from the impact surface 16 and extends completely around the base, i.e. it provides all four sides 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the pad.
- An annular body portion 18 is connected to the side wall and provides a top surface 19 substantially parallel to impact surface 16 and defines an opening 20 into which molten steel can be poured.
- the lower face of the annular body portion 18 and the inner face of the sidewall 17 define a recess 21 having an undercut portion 22 which extends around and above impact surface 16.
- the longer side 1 1 of the pad has a sidewall 17A connected to an annular body portion 18A having top surface 19A at a lower level than the remainder of the top surface 19.
- the lower face of annular body portion 18A and the inner face of sidewall 17A define a recess 21 A having an undercut portion 22 A.
- Recess 21 A is of smaller cross-section than recess 21.
- the lower top surface 19A does not extend for the full length of side 1 1 of the pad. It stops a little short of each end of that side to provide a step 23 up to a corner top surface portion 19C which is level with surface 19 extending around the other sides of the pad.
- recess 21 A extends beneath top surface 19A but stops short of step 19C at each end of top surface 19A. It does, however, extend sufficiently to overlap with recess 21 in the sidewalls 17 of sides 13 and 14 of the pad.
- FIG. 5 shows the impact pad 10 of Figures 1 to 4 in position on the floor 31 of a tundish 30.
- the tundish is longitudinally-extending and wedge shape in plan and has an inlet region 32 adjacent its narrow end 30A and two outlets 33 towards its wider end 30B.
- Impact pad 10 is positioned in the inlet region 32 with its longer side 11 facing narrow end 30A of the tundish.
- FIGS 6 and 7 show a similar arrangement for a tundish 34 of rectangular plan.
- This tundish has an inlet region 35 and an outlet 36 towards its opposite ends 34A and 34B respectively.
- Impact pad 10 is again positioned on floor 37 in the inlet region with its longer side 11 facing end wall 34A of the tundish.
- the tundish in Figure 7 is shown to have a pouring tube 35 A to direct incoming steel into the impact pad 10 and a dam 38, which may be provided where necessary and as is conventionally known.
