Definitions

  • the present invention relates to continuous steel casting and more specifically to inert gas injected slide gates used in continuous steel casting. Most specifically the invention relates to a method to calculate the optimal argon injection flow rate to cast steel having optimal cleanliness.
  • a slide gate In steelmaking operations, a slide gate is used to control the flow of liquid steel through a nozzle arrangement that drains the molten liquid steel from a metallurgical vessel. It is well known in the art that when inert gas is injected into the discharge passageway of the slide gate, the injected inert gas will reduce plugging or build-up that clogs the passageway. Continuing advancements in the art have led to the use of porous, gas permeable nozzles and slide gate plates that are able to deliver a continuous or intermittent inert gas flow to the discharge passageway where the delivered gas provides a gas barrier between the passageway surface and the liquid metal being drained. Such porous nozzles and slide gate plates are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,431,374 (‘374) incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
  • the ‘374 patent discloses, although it is not certain, it is believed the inert gas flows through the porous nozzle walls, and advantageously forms a fluid film over the surface of the bore within the nozzle that prevents the liquid metal from making direct contact with the inner surface forming the bore.
  • the fluid film of gas prevents the small amounts of alumina that are present in such steel from sticking to and accumulating on the surface of the nozzle bore.
  • the ‘374 reference also teaches that such alumina plugging will occur within the bore of a slide gate if an inert gas barrier is not provided. Therefore, as clearly taught in the art, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos.
  • inert gas barriers are used throughout the steelmaking industry to prevent alumina plugging within the discharge passageway that drains liquid steel from a tundish into the caster mold portion of a continuous caster.
  • the ‘374 patent also discloses that in order to provide a proper inert gas barrier, the pressure of the inert gas must be maintained at a level sufficient to overcome the considerable back-pressure that the draining liquid steel product applies against the surface of the bore, and ideally, the gas pressure should be just enough to form the desired film or barrier. It is well accepted that injecting inert gas into a slide gate discharge passageway does reduce the plugging phenomenon but metering the actual gas flow to the discharge-opening has long been a problem. Leaks in the gas delivery system are a repeating and continuous problem, and the measured amount of incoming gas flow is often different from the actual gas flow delivered to the liquid metal draining through the slide gate.
  • Such gas delivery system leaks can occur in any one of the numerous pipefitting connections along the gas feed line extending between the inert gas supply and the slide gate mechanism. Additionally, some leaks are dynamic in that they develop in the slide gate plates during casting operations as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,555,094. Historical information at continuous casting operations shows that in many instances, no inert gas is delivered to the slide gate discharge passageway when the control gage readings show that the inert gas flow through the gas feed line is normal.
  • the currently employed constant pressure or constant flow-based control methods that are used to deliver inert gas to a slide gate mechanism cannot compensate for dynamic leaks, flow resistance changes, or unknown pressure drops, and therefore, they are ineff-ctive for maintaining a target threshold gas flow within the discharge passageway. Consequently, the state-of-the-art inert gas delivery systems often fail to shield the bore surface from the liquid metal as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,431 ,374.
  • the ‘220 patent provided a mathematical model that provides on- line evaluation and dynamic control of the inert gas delivery system so that a consistent inert gas flow is maintained to prevent or reduce plugging within the discharge opening passageway that drains liquid metal from a metallurgical vessel.
  • the dynamic control system maintains the inert gas at a constant target threshold flow rate sufficient to prevent or reduce plugging within the discharge opening
  • the dynamic control system includes a gas feed line extending between an inert gas supply and the slide gate discharge passageway, a gas flow regulator, a pressure gauge; and a gas feed flow control system that detects an amount of incoming inert gas flow lost through leaks in the system and adjusts the gas flow regulator in response to the detected amount of incoming gas flow loss so that the adjusted incoming gas flow continues to deliver the target inert gas flow rate to the discharge passageway.
  • the ‘220 system/process only deals with inert gas losses up to the entry of the slide gate valve and does nothing to determine the portion of the inert gas that is actually injected to the steel versus that which is lost due to leaks in the slide gate itself.
  • Improper flow rate of inert gas into the steel can cause issues such as: the re-oxidation of liquid steel (too little argon); blister type defects in slabs (excessive argon); plugging of the flow control system limiting casting time; and excessive plugging and wash-out during casting, that can cause entrainment of non- metallic inclusions.
  • the ratio of the inert gas injected into the steel versus that lost due to leaks changes. The slide gate warps, and the leaks increase until virtually no inert gas is being injected into the steel. For several applications, it would be useful to be able to determine how much gas is injected into the steel versus how much is leaked from the system.
  • One such application is to determine the optimal argon flow rate into the steel required for each steel composition to provide optimal steel cleanliness.
  • the present invention provides a process to determine these optimal flow rates.
  • One aspect of the invention is a method for determining the optimal argon injection flow rate for a chosen alloy composition to produce optimal steel cleanliness in cast steel.
  • the method includes the step of providing an argon injected slide gate controlling the flow of liquid steel through a nozzle.
  • a desired alloy for casting into slabs is chosen.
  • the method also includes determining the injection flow rate conductance Gb of the argon injected slide gate using either the Steel Pressure Change Event Method or the Argon Flow Rate Change Event Method.
  • a desired argon injection flow rate Qb is selected and recorded.
  • the present steel pressure Ps' is calculated by multiplying the present height of the steel above the argon injection point by the density of the selected steel composition.
  • the selected steel composition is cast while injecting argon into the steel at the desired argon injection flow rate. Then the cast steel is analyzed to evaluate its cleanliness.
  • the argon injection flow rate is varied and the cast steel at these varied argon injection flow rates is analyzed to evaluate its cleanliness. This is repeated a plurality of times to create a data set of Qb versus steel cleanliness data. A plot of the data set is graphed and analyzed to determine the optimal argon injection flow rate to optimize steel cleanliness for the desired alloy.

During deoxidation, the dissolved oxygen content of the steel is reduced by adding elements that have a greater affinity for oxygen than carbon and form thermodynamically more stable oxides than iron oxide.
  • the most common deoxidizer for steel castings is aluminum, which produces solid particles of AI 2 O 3 .
  • Alumina inclusions are dendritic when formed in a high oxygen environment such as reoxidation and often coalesce to create irregular shaped "alumina clusters" as a result of the collision of smaller particles. Also, alumina is not wet-able by steel, so surface tension causes the cluster to be a lower energy state (less surface area). These clusters significantly affect the mechanical properties of steel.
  • argon injection rate must be a level which maintains a stable double-roll flow pattern in the caster.
  • the argon injection rate should be kept safely below a critical level because excessive argon injection may generate transient variation of the jets entering the mold, introduce asymmetry in the mold cavity, and increase surface turbulence. Further, argon gas bubbles may become entrained and trapped in the solidifying steel to form blister defects, such as pencil pipe in the final product. This in turn reduces steel cleanliness.
  • argon gas bubbles also capture inclusions as they flow into the steel casting mold.
