Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The converter tapping hole is an important part of converter production, and is the only channel for molten steel to enter the ladle from the converter. The converter tapping hole has two structures, i.e., a split structure and a whole structure, and generally has a square or circular shape, and the inner hole is circular. During tapping, the position is subjected to high temperature and oxidation of molten steel, and the working condition is extremely harsh. If the tapping hole position is not properly maintained, the production time, molten steel quality and production stability are affected, and a vicious accident is easily caused, which has an unpredictable consequence. In recent years, extending the service life of the tapping hole and improving the tapping quality have attracted more and more attention of the producers. In the existing technical means at home and abroad, the service life of the tapping hole is mainly extended by optimizing the hot change tapping hole process, improving the structure and material of the tapping hole, reducing the tapping temperature, and tapping hole slag protection. However, with the increase of tapping amount, the inner lining of the tapping hole is continuously eroded, and the inner diameter is continuously expanded, so that a new tapping hole has to be replaced. However, the tapping hole still has a certain thickness at this time, so that the old lining bricks cannot be reused, resources are wasted, and the cost of refractory materials is not conducive to reduction. Meanwhile, the replacement of the tapping hole takes a long time, affects the production rhythm of the front and rear processes, and the labor intensity of the operator is large.
