Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air plugs, and in particular relates to a Fermat spiral gradient circular hole air plug for a bottom blowing process and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the modern steelmaking process system, the refining process outside the furnace is crucial to improving the quality of steel. As a key component of the process, the service life of the gas plug directly affects the downtime and use efficiency of the entire ladle. At present, the mainstream hole channel structure of the gas plug in the actual production process mainly includes slit type and round hole type. The slit type gas plug is the first choice for gas bricks for the ladle due to its advantages of good stirring effect and high repeated blowing rate. However, there is stress concentration in the four corners of the rectangular hole. The slit is easily penetrated by molten steel to form steel clamps, which makes it difficult to blow argon in the later stage. The uneven gap may induce the generation of large-volume bubbles, resulting in a low removal rate of tiny impurities and it is difficult to achieve the effect of pure molten steel. Compared with slit type gas bricks, round hole type gas bricks have a long service life, can significantly reduce the thermal stress concentration phenomenon around the hole, blow out bubbles of controllable size, which is conducive to optimizing the metallurgical effect, but the repeated blowing rate is low, and foreign particles will repeatedly block the channel, resulting in poor argon blowing effect. Therefore, the existing gas plugs cannot extend the service life while taking into account good metallurgical effects.

[0003] Traditional methods for preparing air plugs mainly include buried pipe type, joint type and slit type. The buried pipe type is to pre-embed several stainless steel pipes with a diameter of 1-3mm in the brick, and then cast the brick body into shape, which has the function of ventilation; the joint type is to divide the brick into multiple parts for assembly, and adjust the gaps between each part to control the number and size of the air permeable gaps. This method provides greater flexibility and can adjust the air permeability according to actual needs; the slit type is to pre-cast dozens of straight slits in the brick body, and the preparation process is relatively simple. However, this traditional preparation method has poor integrity, low production efficiency, easy deformation during casting, and it is difficult to achieve precise control of structural parameters, which limits the structural optimization of the air plug. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a Fermat spiral gradient circular hole air plug for a bottom blowing process, wherein the prepared air plug has the characteristics of high air permeability efficiency and good durability.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a method for preparing a Fermat spiral gradient round hole type vent plug for bottom blowing process, the preparation method is as follows:

[0008] Step 3: Pour the breathable plug slurry into the breathable plug template for molding, and obtain a Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type breathable plug after curing, drying and cooling processes;

[0009] Among them, the Fermat spiral curve is designed by the Fermat spiral formula, and the parametric equations are as follows:

[0010] t = θ (t≥0);

[0011]

[0012] In the formula, x is the abscissa value, y is the ordinate value; a is a constant, and its value is 20 - 50 (it can be any value among 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 or the corresponding range between any two values); θ is the polar angle, and its value is 0 - 180° (it can be any value among 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, 170° and 180° or the corresponding range between any two values).

[0013] In the above technical solution, the parameters of the breathable plug in Step 1 are as follows:

[0014] The overall height H of the breathable plug = 320 - 400 mm (it can be any value among 320 mm, 330 mm, 340 mm, 350 mm, 360 mm, 370 mm, 380 mm, 390 mm and 400 mm or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0015] The aperture r1 of the bottom air blowing section = 0.4 - 1.0 mm (it can be any value among 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm and 1.0 mm or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0016] The aperture r2 of the top air blowing section = 0.2 - 0.6 mm (it can be any value among 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0017] The number of hole circles z of the breathable plug = 4 - 6 (it can be 4, 5 or 6);

[0018] The number of holes n in the z-th circle z = 2n;

[0019] The hole inclination angle α = 0 - 8° (which can be any value among 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7° and 8° or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0020] The hole spacing d per turn = 16 - 20 mm (which can be any value among 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm and 20 mm or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0021] When performing parametric calculations, the pressure difference P between the upper and lower end faces is selected df as the optimization goal. At the same time, the aperture r1 of the bottom blowing section, r2 of the top blowing section, and the hole inclination angle α are determined as the input variables P1, P2, P3. Considering that the maximum temperature P4, the maximum equivalent stress P5, and the maximum plastic deformation P6 are all key factors determining the thermo-mechanical properties and metallurgical properties of the porous plug, P4 - P6 are regarded as constraint conditions. The mathematical model is as follows:

[0022]

[0023] In the formula: T max , σ, s are respectively the maximum temperature, the maximum equivalent stress, and the maximum plastic deformation of the porous plug structure; P L , P U are respectively the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the design variable.

[0031] F1: The addition amount of polycarboxylate is 0.05 - 1% of the total weight of the mixture (which can be any value among 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, and 1 wt% or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0032] G1: The addition amount of water is 4 - 6% of the total weight of the mixture (which can be any value among 4 wt%, 5 wt%, and 6 wt% or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0035] J1: The particle size of the tabular corundum fine powder is 0.1 - 0.5 mm (which can be any value among 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.5 mm or the corresponding range between any two values);

[0039] N1: The particle size of the calcium aluminate cement is ≤ 50 μm.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the slurry for 3D printing in step 2 is one of photosensitive resin, polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the specific operation of step 3 is to pour the breathable plug slurry into the breathable plug template, cure it for 20 - 28 h under the conditions of an ambient temperature of 20 - 30 °C and a humidity of 70 - 85%; then dry it for 20 - 28 h under the condition of 100 - 120 °C; then under the condition of 1 - 100 Pa, heat it up to 650 - 750 °C at a rate of 0.5 - 3 °C / min, keep it warm for 1 - 3 h, after the heat preservation ends, heat it up to 900 - 1500 °C at a rate of 3 - 5 °C / min, keep it warm for 3 - 5 h, and then cool it to room temperature with the furnace, thus obtaining the Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type breathable plug.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the geometric model is parametrically calculated by using MOGA combined with the fluid-structure direct coupling technology.

[0043] The second object of the present invention is to provide a Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type breathable plug for bottom blowing process with high breathable efficiency and good durability.

[0044] In order to achieve the above object, another technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type breathable plug for bottom blowing process is prepared by using the preparation method as described above.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the breathable plug is frustum-shaped, and there are evenly spaced blow holes penetrating through both ends thereof, and the blow holes are Fermat spiral gradient circular holes with a smaller upper aperture and a larger lower aperture.

[0046] In the above technical solution, the aperture of the upper end of the blow hole is 0.2 - 0.6 mm (which can be any value among 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm or the corresponding range between any two values), and the aperture of the lower end of the blow hole is 0.4 - 1.0 mm (which can be any value among 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 mm or the corresponding range between any two values).

[0047] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, the Fermat spiral structure is incorporated into the channel of the gas permeable plug. The spiral path slows down the gas flow rate, enhances the fluid-solid heat transfer, realizes the optimization of the stress distribution of the gas permeable plug, and at the same time, the generated spiral bubbles form a strong swirl in the ladle, improving the mixing efficiency of the molten steel and the inclusion removal effect (the existing slit-type gas permeable plug and round-hole type gas permeable plug have the disadvantages of fast longitudinal heat exchange, large and few blown bubbles, easy steel leakage, and heat stress concentration at the hole corners).

[0048] The present invention adopts 3D printing technology and uses a method of layer-by-layer stacking to photocure and form the gas permeable plug template. The gas permeable plug template will burn out and leave a porous structure during firing, and will not affect the green body structure due to the formation of the pore structure. Therefore, the prepared gas permeable plug has good integrity, and at the same time can shorten the research and development cycle, and has the advantages of low production cost, high material utilization rate and high precision.

[0049] The present invention adopts the integral casting method and uses CMA aggregate, tabular corundum aggregate and calcium aluminate cement as raw material components, improving the overall strength of the Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type gas permeable plug.

[0050] The Fermat spiral round-hole type gas permeable plug prepared by the present invention is detected: the gas permeability is increased by 20% compared with the gas permeable plug disclosed in CN118635491A "A Y-type Gradient Oblique-through Round-hole Type Gas Permeable Plug for Bottom Blowing Process and Its Preparation Method", and is increased by 45% compared with the round-hole straight-through type gas permeable plug.

[0051] The present invention uses the finite element simulation software ANSYS to simulate the thermo-mechanical properties of the designed Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type gas permeable plug: compared with the Y-type gradient round-hole type gas permeable plug, the central axis temperature of the Fermat spiral gradient round-hole type gas permeable plug is lower, and the maximum temperature difference between the two reaches 278.33 °C.

[0052] The gas permeable plug prepared by the present invention has the advantages of large gas permeability and not easy to clamp steel. During service, the temperature distribution inside the gas permeable plug is uniform, relieving the heat stress concentration phenomenon, extending the service life of the gas permeable plug, and the angled spiral structure strengthens the swirl effect and has a better inclusion removal effect.

[0081] Mix the sintered CMA aggregate, C12A7 aggregate, tabular corundum aggregate, tabular corundum fine powder, alumina fine powder and calcium aluminate cement to obtain a mixture.
