Abstract
Description
なお、大量にガスを吹き込む用途に用いられるガス吹き込みノズルとしては、単管タイプの径の大きいものが用いられ、特に多くのガスを吹き込む必要がなく、緻密な気泡のガスを吹き込むことが望ましい用途には、複数の金属細管を耐火物を貫通するように埋め込んだ形の細管タイプのものが用いられる。
金属細管が溶融すると、ガスの吹き込みによって生じる溶鋼流が直接に炭素含有耐火物に当たり、損耗し易くなる。このため、ガス吹き込みノズル自体の寿命が短くなる。
まず、特許文献1には、炭素を含まないキャスタブルなどの耐火物でガス吹き込み用の金属細管を被覆した後、炭素含有耐火物に埋め込むようにしたガス吹き込みノズルが提案されている。
しかしながら、この特許文献1のガス吹き込みノズルの場合、炭素を含まないキャスタブルなどの耐熱スポーリング性および耐食性に劣る耐火物が先行的に損耗し、キャスタブル部分が寿命律速となるため、ノズルを所定の長さに保ったままでは、さらなる耐用寿命の延長を図ることができないという問題点がある。
しかしながら、この特許文献2のガス吹き込みプラグの場合、MgOコーティングされた金属細管を炭素含有耐火物内部に設置する際に、コーティング層が剥離し、結果的に剥離部分で浸炭が生じて十分な効果が得られないため、ノズルを所定の長さに保ったままでは、さらなる耐用寿命の延長を図ることはできないという問題点がある。
しかしながら、この特許文献3のガス吹き込みノズルの場合、通常は、ガス吹き込み用の金属細管と耐火性焼結体との間にモルタルを介在させることが必要になり、耐磨耗性および耐食性に劣るモルタルが先行的に損耗され、モルタル部分から損傷が拡大するという問題点がある。また、この特許文献3の場合も、ノズル長さを所定の長さに保ったままでは、さらなる耐用寿命の延長を図ることはできないという問題点がある。
しかしながら、この特許文献4のガス吹き込みノズルの場合、ガス導入用金属細管と溶射材の熱膨張係数が異なるため、膨張差で溶射材が剥離し、剥離部分で浸炭されるという問題点がある。したがって、この特許文献4の構成の場合も、ノズルを所定の長さに保ったままでは、さらなる耐用寿命の延長を図ることはできないという問題点がある。
しかしながら、仮に目標耐用寿命が得られるまでノズルを長くした場合、ガス吐出孔から溶鋼表面までの距離が短くなり、攪拌効率の悪化により精錬効率が低下するという問題が生じる。
また、ノズルが長くなった分だけ精錬炉内の炉床全体を上昇させると、耐火物コストを引き上げるだけでなく、所定の溶鋼量を精錬できなくなるという問題が生じる。
したがって、特許文献1~4の構成において、ノズルを長くすることで耐用寿命をさらに延長させるということは困難であるのが実情である。
また、ノズルの炉内側先端に盲キャップれんがや、盲キャップ受けれんがを設置するなど、施工が複雑で手間が掛かるという問題点がある。
さらに、ガス吹きの切り換え時に、切り換え羽口の開口作業や使用済み羽口の閉塞作業などに手間が掛かるという問題点がある。
(1)ガス吹き込みノズルの損傷は、ガス攪拌によって生じる溶融金属流による耐火物の磨耗が主体で、一般的にはガス吐出孔部がすり鉢状に大きく凹んだ損傷となり、最終的に吐出孔部の耐火物(ノズル耐火物)の残厚が少なくなることで耐用寿命が決まる、
(2)一方、吐出孔部中心から約200mm以上離れた部位においては、摩耗の程度は軽く、比較的ノズル耐火物の残厚は大きい
という知見を得た。
ガス導入用の複数の金属細管と、吹き込み前のガスをプールするサージタンクと、前記金属細管および前記サージタンクを保護する耐火物とを備えた、炉内の溶融金属にガスを吹き込むためのガス吹き込みノズルであって、
炉内側先端が開口しているとともに、前記炉内側先端が炉内に露出し、炉内の溶融金属にガスを吹き込むことが可能な状態にある複数の第1金属細管と、前記第1金属細管と連通する第1サージタンクと、前記第1金属細管および前記第1サージタンクを保護する第1耐火物とを備える第1ノズル部と、
複数の第2金属細管と、前記第2金属細管と連通する第2サージタンクと、前記第2金属細管および前記第2サージタンクを保護する第2耐火物とを備え、前記第2金属細管の炉内側先端が所定の深さに位置するように前記第2耐火物中に埋設され、閉塞している第2ノズル部と
を具備し、
前記第2ノズル部にガスの圧力をかけた状態で、前記第1ノズル部からのガスの吹き込みが継続して行われ、前記第2耐火物中に埋設された前記第2金属細管の前記炉内側先端に達するまで前記第2耐火物の損耗が進むと、閉塞していた前記第2金属細管の前記炉内側先端が開口し、前記第2金属細管からのガスの吹き込みが開始するように構成されていること
を特徴としている。
ガス導入用の複数の金属細管と、前記複数の金属細管と連通し、吹き込み前のガスをプールするサージタンクと、前記金属細管および前記サージタンクを保護する耐火物とを備えた、炉内の溶融金属にガスを吹き込むためのガス吹き込みノズルであって、
前記金属細管は、炉内側先端が所定の深さに位置するように耐火物中に埋設され、前記炉内側先端が閉塞していること
を特徴としている。
(a)開口した炉内側先端が炉内に露出し、炉内の溶融金属にガスを吹き込むことが可能な状態にある複数の第1金属細管と、第1金属細管と連通する第1サージタンクとを備える第1ノズル部と、
(b)耐火物中に埋設され、炉内側先端が閉塞している複数の第2金属細管と、第2金属細管と連通する第2サージタンクとを備える第2ノズル部と
を具備しており、第1ノズル部からのガスの吹き込みが継続して行われることにより、第2金属細管の炉内側先端に達するまで第2耐火物の損耗が進むと、閉塞していた第2金属細管の炉内側先端が開口し、第2ノズル部の第2金属細管からのガスの吹き込みが開始するように構成されているので、それまでガスを吹いていた第1ノズル部を構成する第1金属細管および第1耐火物が所定のラインまで損耗した時点で、ガス吹き込みの経路が、第1ノズル部の吐出口近傍より耐火物の損耗の程度が軽微な第2ノズル部から(詳しくは、第2金属細管の炉内側先端から)のガス吹き込みに切り換えられるため、上述の位置による耐火物の損耗差を有効に利用して、耐用寿命を延ばすことが可能になる。
なお、本発明のガス吹き込みノズルの場合、第1ノズル部および第2ノズル部のいずれもが、金属細管に連通するサージタンクを備えているため、各サージタンクにガス供給ラインを接続しておくことにより、第2ノズル部からの通気が確認された時点で、特に複雑な処理をすることなく、容易かつ確実にガスの供給経路を切り換えることできる。
すなわち、本発明は少なくとも第1および第2ノズル部を備えていることを要件とするものであり、第3ノズル部以降のノズル部を備えた構成を排除するものではない。
なお、ここでいう第1金属細管および第2金属細管は、いずれも、サージタンクと連通し、実際にガスを通気させる金属細管をいう。
なお、第1金属細管と第2金属細管の最も近接している部分の間隔が100mm未満になると、耐火物の損耗差を十分に利用することが困難になり、1000mmを超えると、ガス吹き込みノズルの施工性を悪化させるだけでなく、精錬効率の低下あるいは精錬炉内全体の耐火物の損傷形態を著しく悪化させることになるため、第1金属細管と第2金属細管の最も近接している部分の間隔は、100~1000mmの範囲とすることが望ましい。
なお、本発明において、ノズル有効長とは、第1、第2耐火物の全長ではなく、安全な残厚を残して安全に使用できる長さのことであり、図5を参照して説明すると、第1、第2サージタンク12,22の上端から第1、第2耐火物13,23の表面(上端面)13a,23aまでの距離を、第1、第2耐火物13,23の全長L(mm)としたときに、安全な残厚としてこのL(mm)から300mmを差し引いた値、すなわち、下記の式(1)で表される値をいう。
ノズル有効長(mm)=L(mm)-300mm ……(1)
なお、第2ノズル部を構成する第2金属細管の埋設深さ(図1のD)が、ノズル有効長の14%より短い場合には、第1ノズル部から第2ノズル部へのガス吹き切り換え時期が早すぎて、第1ノズル部のノズル有効長を十分に活用することができず、ガス吹き込みノズル全体としての寿命を十分に延ばすことができなくなる。
さらに、稼働初期の耐火物表面は熱スポーリングや熱膨張応力などにより亀裂・剥離が生じることがあり、第2金属細管の埋設深さが、ノズル有効長の14%より短い場合には、この亀裂・剥離により稼働初期に第2金属細管の先端が露出してしまう場合がある。
したがって、第2ノズル部を構成する第2金属細管の埋設深さは、ノズル有効長の14%以上であることが望ましい。
(実施形態1)
図1に示すように、この実施形態1のガス吹き込みノズルAは、電気炉や転炉などの精錬炉1内の溶融金属2にガスを吹き込むためのガス吹き込みノズルである。このガス吹き込みノズルは、炉内側先端11aが開口しているとともに、炉内側先端11aが炉内に露出し、炉内の溶融金属2にガスを吹き込むことが可能な状態にある複数の第1金属細管11と、第1金属細管11と連通する第1サージタンク12と、第1金属細管11および第1サージタンク12を保護する第1耐火物13とを備える第1ノズル部10を備えている。
さらに、複数の第2金属細管21と、第2金属細管21と連通する第2サージタンク22と、第2金属細管21および第2サージタンク22を保護する第2耐火物23とを備える第2ノズル部20とを備えている。
そして、第2ノズル部20において、第2金属細管21は、炉内側先端21aが所定の深さに位置するように第2耐火物23中に埋設されているとともに、第2耐火物23中に埋設されることにより炉内側先端21aが閉塞した状態とされている。
なお、第1サージタンク12と第2サージタンク22の具体的な構成や、各サージタンクへのガス供給のためのラインの具体的な接続態様などに特別の制約はない。
また、第1および第2金属細管11,21の内径は1~4mm程度が好ましく、その肉厚は1~2mm程度とすることが望ましい。これは、第1および第2金属細管11,21の内径が1mm未満であると、閉塞され、溶融金属へ十分なガス供給ができなくなるおそれがあり、内径が4mmを超えると第1および第2金属細管11,21内に溶融金属が差し込み、漏鋼するおそれがあることによる。
あるいは、成形後500~1500℃、好ましくは800~1300℃の還元雰囲気で焼成した焼成れんがとすることもできる。
まず、図2に示すように、第2ノズル部20を構成する閉塞した第2金属細管21にもガスの圧力をかけた状態で、第1ノズル部10を構成する第1金属細管11からガスを吹き込む。
そして、図3に示すように、第2金属細管21の、閉塞した炉内側先端21aの位置まで第2耐火物23の損耗が進むと、第2耐火物23により閉塞していた第2金属細管21の炉内側先端21が開口し、第2ノズル部20の第2金属細管21からのガスの吹き込みが始まる。このときの耐火物の損耗ラインが切り換え時の損耗ラインとなる。
さらには、圧力計器の圧力低下を感知し、アラームが鳴るようシステム化すれば、より確実にガスの吹き込みが開始したこと検出することができる。
このときの第1金属細管11へのガスの供給を停止するにあたっては、例えば、第1金属細管11へのガス供給ライン3aへのガスの供給停止を行う弁(図示せず)を手動、あるいは、自動で操作して、ガス供給ライン3bへの供給は維持したまま、ガス供給ライン3aへのガス供給を停止することにより、容易に残厚のある第2ノズル部20の第2金属細管21からのガスの吹き込みに切り換えることができる。
(1)第1ノズル部10と第2ノズル部20の切り換え時の損耗ライン、
(2)第1ノズル部10と第2ノズル部20の切り換えを行わない場合の寿命ライン(従来のガス吹き込みノズルを用いた場合の寿命ライン)、
(3)第1ノズル部10と第2ノズル部20の切り換えを行った場合の寿命ライン、
(4)第1、第2耐火物13,23の全長(L)、
(5)位置による耐火物の損耗差(M)
を併せて示している。
(実施形態2)
この実施形態2のガス吹き込みノズルA1は、ガス導入用の複数の金属細管51と、吹き込み前のガスをプールするサージタンク52と、ガス導入用の金属細管51とサージタンク52を保護する耐火物53とを備えており、金属細管51は、炉内側先端51aが所定の深さに位置するように耐火物53中に埋設され、炉内側先端51aが閉塞した構成を備えている。
すなわち、この実施形態2のガス吹き込みノズルA1は、上記実施形態1のガス吹き込みノズルAにおける第2ノズル部20と同様の構成を備えている。
なお、図9において、図1と同一符号を付した部分は同一または相当する部分を示す。
ただし、ガス配管および切り換え機構の簡略化の見地からは、隣接するように配設することが望ましい。
上記実施形態1のように、図1~5に示すように構成されたガス吹き込みノズルを精錬炉1に用いて耐用寿命を調べた。なお、耐用寿命を調べるためのガス吹き込みノズルAとしては、具体的には、第1ノズル部10として、第1耐火物13を貫通した内径1.5mm、肉厚1mmのステンレス鋼管からなる第1金属細管11を7本、第1サージタンク12に接続した構成のものを用いた。
また、第1ノズル部10を構成する第1金属細管11と、第2ノズル部20を構成する第2金属細管21の、最も近接している部分の間隔は146.5mmとなるようにした。
また、第1耐火物13および第2耐火物23としては、黒鉛15重量%含有するMgO-C耐火物を用いた。
比較のため、図8に示すような、本発明の実施形態1のガス吹き込みノズルAの第1ノズル部に相当する構成を備えたガス吹き込みノズルBを用意し、これを用いた場合の耐用寿命を調べた。
試験の結果、比較例のガス吹き込みノズルの耐用寿命は700ch程度であった。
これに対し、実施例のガス吹き込みノズルでは、500chで第1ノズル部によるガス吹き込みから、第2ノズル部によるガス吹き込み切り換え、その後319chでノズル有効長に達した。
すなわち、比較例のガス吹き込みノズルを用いた場合には700ch程度であった耐用寿命が、実施例のガス吹き込みノズルを用いた場合には819chにまで延び、耐用寿命が約17%向上することが確認された。
