Hydraulic simulation device capable of controlling ingot segregation and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a hydraulic simulation device capable of controlling ingot segregation and a method, which belong to the field of casting, ingot casting and metallurgy. The device adopts a structure that water pumps are positioned in casting ladles and connected with flowmeters by pipelines; the flowmeters are connected with casting tundishes by flexible pipes; stoppers are plugged into water outlets of the casting tundishes; and fiber-optics probes are mounted at the water outlets of the casting tundishes and on a probe bracket positioned on the bottom surface in an ingot mold organic glass model and connected with signal amplifiers by optical fiber cables. The method is accomplished by the device and comprises the steps of obtaining a standard curve through colored aqueous solutions in different concentrations, injecting the coloured aqueous solutions in the different concentrations of the same solute into the casting ladles, starting a system, obtaining readings of the signal amplifiers, and finally obtaining a concentration variation curve of the colored solutions at different positions by combining the standard curve. The device and the method can use the colored solutions to simulate the diffusion and segregation of the solute in a metal bath, the sensitivity is high, and the interference with liquid flow is small.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of casting, ingot casting and metallurgy, and particularly relates to a hydraulic simulation device and method for ingot segregation control. Background technique [0002] In the production of castings, ingots and continuous casting, the flow of liquid metal directly affects the quality of the product. Because the flow of liquid metal is difficult to observe directly, water simulation is usually used for research. Segregation is one of the main problems in the production of ingots, especially large steel ingots. Segregation is not only related to the flow of liquid metal, but also related to the diffusion of solute; therefore, the existing hydraulic simulation methods are difficult to meet the needs of ingot segregation research. The multi-ladle pouring technology is a new technology for segregation control of large steel ingots, that is, by controlling the sequential pouring of multiple ladles of liquid metal with...

These instruments have specific requirements for the type of measuring solution, and are not universal for the selected solution

Moreover, these devices are not easy to install in the hydraulic model, and the probes are large and will cause a large disturbance to the water flow after installation, which affects the accuracy of the hydraulic simulation experiment; in addition, the sensitivity and response speed of these devices are low, and it is difficult to reflect the concentration.
