The invention relates to a
continuous casting tundish diffuse-type gas-permeable ring upper
nozzle brick cup and an
argon blowing refining method thereof. The upper
nozzle brick cup comprises an upper
nozzle brick cup body, diffuse-type gas-permeable rings, a
gas chamber and a gas inlet
pipe, wherein the gas-permeable rings are uniformly arranged in a circle; the gas-permeable rings and the circular
gas chamber are arranged in the upper nozzle brick cup body; the
air chamber is arranged at the bottoms of the diffuse-type gas-permeable rings and communicate with the diffuse-type gas-permeable rings; the upper parts of the gas-permeable rings extend out of the upper surface of the upper nozzle brick cup body by 5 to 10 mm; the gas inlet
pipe is connected to one side part of the
gas chamber; one end of the gas inlet
pipe communicates with the
air chamber; the other end of the gas inlet pipe extends out of one side part of the upper nozzle brick cup body, is connected with a
metal pipe fitting and communicates with an external
argon gas source; an upward circular air curtain barrier is formed after
argon gas is blown into the gas inlet pipe, so that gas washing of
molten steel entering an upper nozzle is realized, and floating and removing of inclusions are promoted; and a certain quantity of argon bubbles enter the upper nozzle along with a steel flow, so that a stable and continuous circular gas flow is formed, which not only solves the problem of
nozzle clogging, but also solves the technical problem that protective argon bubbles enter steel to cause sub-surface bubbles of a
casting blank.
