Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of blast furnaces, and in particular relates to a special brick sleeve and a method for reducing the blast furnace tuyere area for a long term. Background Art
[0002] Affected by the steel market, blast furnaces need to limit production from time to time. After the blast furnace reduces wind and limits production, the tuyere area needs to be reduced to maintain the original kinetic energy of the blast. Therefore, the blast furnace needs to be shut down and replaced with a small sleeve with a smaller diameter, thereby reducing the air supply area. For example, a small tuyere sleeve with an inner diameter of φ120mm is replaced with a small tuyere sleeve of φ110mm or φ100mm. Since the air supply device is heavy, the adjustment operation is complicated, the labor intensity of the workers is high, and the replaced small sleeve has been deformed due to use and cannot be reused, resulting in a high cost for the small tuyere sleeve. Therefore, the development of a method and related equipment that can maintain the reduced tuyere area for a long time and can quickly adjust the tuyere area is of great significance to improving the smelting efficiency of blast furnaces. Summary of the invention
[0003] The invention provides an environmentally friendly dust-free blast furnace wind stop method to solve the problem that when the existing blast furnace is stopped, a small sleeve needs to be replaced, resulting in high costs.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a special brick sleeve that can reduce the tuyere area of a blast furnace for a long time. The chemical composition and proportion of the rotating sleeve are as follows: Al2O3≥70%, Si+C≥15%, and the volume density is 110℃×24h≥2.85g / cm 3 , flexural strength 110℃×24h≥3.0MPa, flexural strength 1450℃×3h≥6.0MPa, compressive strength 110℃×24h≥25MPa, compressive strength 1450℃×3h≥55MPa, heating permanent line change rate 1450℃×3h±0.3%.
[0005] The method of reducing the blast furnace tuyere area by using the special brick sleeve is as follows:
[0006] S1. Make four different types of brick sleeve models with outer diameters of φ120mm, φ115mm, inner diameters of φ110mm and φ100mm. The brick sleeve needs to be completely embedded in the inner side of the air outlet sleeve, and its structure is an internal hollow truncated cone-shaped air supply channel;
[0007] S2, after the castable is mixed with water and evenly mixed, it is introduced into the brick sleeve mold, and after solidification for 4-7 days, the mold is removed and the brick sleeve is taken out for standby;
[0008] S3. When the air outlet needs to be reduced due to production needs, according to the maintenance plan, the brick set should be placed in the small set that needs to be reduced after the wind is stopped. During the installation process, the brick set needs to be in close contact with the small air outlet set to prevent cross-winding;
[0009] S4. When the blast furnace needs to expand the tuyere, it is only necessary to crush it with a drill rod and push it into the furnace, which can avoid the second shutdown of the blast furnace.
[0010] Compared with the related art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] By adopting high temperature resistant and erosion resistant casting materials with specific performance indicators to make brick sleeves, the purpose of maintaining the reduction of tuyere area for a long time is achieved; at the same time, by crushing the brick sleeves and pushing them into the furnace, the demand for rapid expansion of tuyere area is achieved, avoiding secondary shutdown of the blast furnace; the present invention improves the smelting efficiency of the blast furnace, reduces the production cost, and has significant economic and social benefits.
