Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a water removal device for a conticaster and a use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The production of H-shaped steel materials by using a conticaster can reduce rolling passes, shorten rolling time, save energy, and has small differences in various properties of the rolled materials and reliable product quality. Due to the shape characteristics of the conticaster, the inner arc side is a U-shaped groove, which causes the secondary cooling water to flow down along the web of the conticaster, resulting in overcooling of the web of the conticaster and a large amount of water accumulation at the web of the conticaster, which affects the flame cutting of the cast blank. At present, the method for solving this problem is to use a water blower to blow away the secondary cooling water when the cast blank exits the fan-shaped section, although the water blower can blow away most of the secondary cooling water, reduce the overcooling of the web of the conticaster, and enable the flame cutting operation to proceed normally. However, during the water blowing process, the secondary cooling water is blown to the top end of the flange of the conticaster, thereby causing the local overcooling of the surface of the top end of the flange of the conticaster and the appearance of "black spots", and in severe cases, causing cracks on the surface of the conticaster.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses "conticaster secondary cooling section cooling water blowing device and application method (patent number CN101367118B)", and specifically discloses the following content: the gas pipeline coincides with the vertical symmetry plane of the web, and is parallel to the surface of the web of the conticaster; the jet direction of the jet nozzle is towards the web indentation of the inner arc side of the conticaster.

[0004] The invention blows compressed air or other inert gas from the jet nozzle of the water blower to the water accumulation position of the web of the conticaster, reduces the amount of accumulated water, and uniformly distributes the accumulated water to the high temperature position of the cast blank, so that the surface temperature distribution of the conticaster is more uniform. However, since two nozzles are used for water blowing, the accumulated water on the surface of the web cannot be uniformly swept, and residual water cannot be completely swept away, and the splashed water will still fall on the top end of the flange, causing cracks on the cast blank and affecting the quality of the product.
