The invention discloses a steel
ladle gas-breathable upper
water gap seat
brick and a method for controlling a steel
ladle to unload
slag by same. The steel
ladle gas-breathable upper
water gap seat
brick comprises a steel ladle upper
water gap seat
brick body, a gas-breathable plug, a
gas chamber box, a gas-breathable plug base, a gas-blowing pipeline, a runner hole and an upper water gap mounting hole. The control method comprises the following steps of: 1) putting the steel ladle upper water gap seat brick at a bottom tap hole of the steel ladle, and enabling the gas-blowing pipeline whichgets out from the steel ladle gas-breathable upper water gap seat brick to communicate with a gas path pipeline; 2) when a ratio of height of
molten steel in the steel ladle to height of the steel ladle is 1 to (16-35), blowing
inert gas into the
molten steel through the gas-blowing pipeline, forming a circular concave region free of a
slag layer on the surface of
molten steel, and restraining steel ladle from unloading
slag; and 3) when the steel ladle has slag unloading, closing a steel ladle water hole, and stopping blowing gas through the gas-blowing pipeline. According to the steel ladlegas-breathable upper water gap seat brick disclosed by the invention,
argon gas is blown in at a last stage of
casting, the circular convex region free of the slag layer is formed on the surface of molten steel, steel ladle slag unloading caused by conflux vortex and drainage sunken pits is effectively restrained,
casting margin, which is reduced by 35% or more in comparison with existing castingmargin, of molten steel in the steel ladle is reduced.
