Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel production technology and relates to an effective method for determining the cracking of the tundish drain outlet. Background Technology

[0002] In continuous casting production, fractures and cracks of the tundish nozzle (hereinafter referred to as "nozzle nozzle") occur frequently due to various reasons. Common fractures at the slag line, causing the lower section of the nozzle to float and the liquid surface to churn, are easily identifiable and can be dealt with quickly. However, nozzle cracks, due to the uncertainty of their cause, location, and size, have lower observability and identifiability. Often, there is no obvious churn on the liquid surface in the crystallizer, and the black slag layer in the crystallizer does not show obvious fluctuations, making them difficult to identify. If they are not detected and countermeasures are not taken in time, uneven flow field in the crystallizer can easily lead to quality accidents such as adhesion, cracks, and inclusions, and in severe cases, even steel leakage.

[0003] Therefore, a method is needed to make timely and accurate judgments about sprue bursts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide an effective method for determining the cracking of the drain outlet of the package.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An effective method for judging the cracking of the tundish outlet is to observe the changes in the combustion flame of the protective slag in the crystallizer, and to make an accurate judgment under different casting conditions by combining the adjustment of the argon flow rate of the stopper rod and the manual inspection of the liquid level in the crystallizer.

[0007] Furthermore, the method for judging the sprue cracking during the start of casting is as follows: Within 5-10 minutes of start of casting, after the casting speed is increased to normal, the stopper rod argon gas is 1-3L / min, the flame of the mold flux is still around the sprue, the liquid surface of the mold is calm, and there are no active bubbles or flames in other areas; adjust the stopper rod argon gas to 1L / min, adjust the upper sprue argon gas to 3L / min, if there is no obvious change in the combustion state of the mold flux, and the liquid surface in other parts of the mold is calm with no active bubbles or flames, then it is initially judged that the sprue cracked after the start of casting. Then switch to manual casting and use an oxygen tube to lightly touch the liquid surface to check for sprue fragments for final confirmation.

[0008] Furthermore, the method for judging the cracking of the nozzle under normal casting conditions is as follows: Under normal conditions, the protective slag in the crystallizer burns at the narrow edge of the crystallizer, is bright yellow, and has a height of 200-300mm; within 1-3 minutes of casting, there is no obvious fluctuation in the liquid surface, the flame position moves from the narrow edge to one-quarter of the crystallizer, with a height of 300-500mm, the activity of the liquid surface in the crystallizer decreases, and the flame on the narrow edge disappears; after about 2 minutes of casting, the flame of the protective slag burns is concentrated around the nozzle, and the liquid surface in other parts of the crystallizer is quiet with no active bubbles and no flame; if the argon gas of the stopper rod is adjusted to 1L / min and the argon gas of the upper nozzle is adjusted to 3L / min, and there is no obvious change in the burning state of the protective slag in the crystallizer, and the activity of the liquid surface is low, then it is initially judged that the nozzle has cracked. Then, switch to manual casting and use an oxygen-burning tube to lightly touch the liquid surface to check for nozzle fragments for final confirmation.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0010] This invention, through observation of the combustion flame of the mold flux in the crystallizer, can promptly detect signs of nozzle cracking, improving the identification and observability of nozzle cracking and avoiding quality accidents and steel leakage risks caused by it. By combining the adjustment of the stopper rod argon flow rate and manual inspection of the crystallizer liquid level, the condition of the nozzle cracking can be further confirmed, improving the accuracy and reliability of nozzle cracking judgment and providing a basis for handling nozzle cracking.

[0011] The method of the present invention is simple and easy to implement, requires no additional equipment or cost, is applicable to different casting situations, and has strong practicality and universality.
