Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steelmaking continuous casting technology, specifically relating to an immersion nozzle lining material and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Submerged entry nozzles (Submerged entry nozzles) are one of the "three major components" in continuous casting and are crucial functional materials. They are positioned between the tundish and the crystallizer during use. Currently, the mainstream submerged entry nozzles fall into three main categories: fused silica nozzles, alumina-carbon nozzles, and alumina-carbon-zirconium-carbon composite nozzles. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, fused silica nozzles have poor corrosion resistance when casting special steels such as manganese steel. Alumina-carbon nozzles have poor resistance to protective slag erosion and thermal shock, and due to their poor thermal conductivity, they can cause slag buildup and alumina inclusions, leading to nozzle blockage and severely affecting continuous casting. In alumina-carbon-zirconium-carbon composite nozzles, CaO-stabilized zirconium dioxide undergoes calcium oxide desolvation, causing instability and fragmentation of the stabilized zirconium oxide, thus exacerbating erosion at the slag line. Meanwhile, during the production of ultra-low carbon automotive steel, aluminum-carbon and aluminum-carbon-zirconium-carbon sprues commonly develop nozzle nodules. To improve this phenomenon, the material must be modified.
[0003] In the published literature, Japanese Patent (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 4-224061) and Chinese Patent (CN1062248C) proposed a CaO-ZrO2-C lining material and a material to prevent alumina blockage. Both patents utilize the fact that alumina can easily react with CaO or calcium fluoride in the lining material to form a low-melting-point phase, thereby reducing alumina deposition. However, in actual use, the anti-blocking effect is not good as the casting time increases. Subsequently, Chinese patent (CN100352579C) proposed an anti-clogging submersible nozzle body material. This improved aluminum-zirconium-carbon nozzle material is formed by directly adding silane and silicon nitride to the body to replace a portion of the alumina and ZrO2. However, in practical use, the oxidation of silicon nitride to form SiO2 has an adverse effect on the actual casting process. While this material shows some effectiveness in the initial stages of casting, as casting progresses, the inner wall of the nozzle still suffers from the long-standing problems of Al-C nozzles, such as poor resistance to protective slag erosion and the adhesion of slag and alumina inclusions, leading to nozzle blockage. Therefore, researching and developing novel anti-clogging materials for submersible nozzles to reduce blockage in continuous casting is of great significance for improving continuous casting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a calcium-silicon-aluminum submersible nozzle lining material, which features excellent anti-clogging performance and long service life. It can be applied not only to submersible nozzles in continuous casting molds but also to high-temperature industries such as anti-clogging of long nozzles in ladles using aluminum deoxidized steel and anti-nodulation of tundish stopper rods. This overcomes the current problem of nodulation and clogging of submersible nozzles made of aluminum deoxidized steel, such as those used in automotive steel casting, and is expected to be widely adopted for large-scale production applications.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: A calcium-silicon-aluminum immersion nozzle liner material, the composition of which is as follows by mass percentage: Matrix material: 80%-93%; Additives: 5-15%; Composite binder: 1.5%-5%; The matrix material comprises a ternary composition of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3; wherein the proportions of CaO, SiO2, and Al2O3 are within the range defined by the lines connecting points A, B, C, and D in the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 ternary phase diagram; wherein point A has a composition of 3 wt% Al2O3, 82 wt% SiO2, and 15 wt% CaO; point B has a composition of 6 wt% Al2O3, 80 wt% SiO2, and 14 wt% CaO; point C has a composition of 3 wt% Al2O3, 72 wt% SiO2, and 25 wt% CaO; and point D has a composition of 2 wt% Al2O3, 72 wt% SiO2, and 26 wt% CaO.
[0006] In the optimized scheme, the ratio of CaO, SiO2, and Al2O3 is between the two liquidus lines of 1600℃ and 1700℃ in the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 ternary phase diagram.
[0007] According to the above scheme, the proportion of each raw material in the matrix material is calculated based on the composition of the ternary phase diagram. The raw materials of the matrix material are selected from corundum, calcium sand, sintered dolomite sand, silica, and quartz. The particle size composition of the matrix material is as follows: 3-1mm 20-30%, 1-0.5mm 30-40%, 0.5-0.088mm 20-35%, and less than 0.088mm 10-15%.
[0008] According to the above scheme, the additive is one or a combination of several of MgAlON, AlON, SiAlON and MgAl2O4; the particle size range is 1-0.5mm 35-65%, 0.5-0.088mm 35-65%.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the composite binder is composed of metal oxides, rare earth elements, and boron / carbon / nitrides mixed in a mass ratio of (2-5):1:(1-3); the particle size of the composite binder is less than 500μm.
[0010] According to the above scheme, the metal oxide is one or more of Fe2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 combined in any proportion.
[0011] According to the above scheme, the rare earth elements are La2O3 (lanthanum oxide), CeO2 (cerium oxide), and Pr6O. 11 It is composed of one or more of praseodymium oxide and Nd2O3 (neodymium oxide) in any proportion.
[0012] According to the above scheme, the boron / carbon / nitride is one or more of B4C, BN, CaB6, MgB2, ZrB2, Si3N4 and SiC combined in any proportion.
[0013] The present invention also provides an anti-clogging submersible nozzle, comprising an outer layer, a body and an inner liner, wherein the inner liner is sintered from the above-mentioned calcium-silicon-aluminum submersible nozzle liner material, and the thickness of the inner liner after sintering is 10-15mm; the outer layer material is refractory fiber, and the body material is aluminum-carbon, zirconium-carbon or aluminum-zirconium-carbon.
[0014] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned anti-clogging submersible inlet, comprising the following steps: (1) Select the matrix material, additives and composite binder according to the design ratio of the calcium-silicon-aluminum immersion nozzle liner material mentioned above, and mix them to obtain the liner material; (2) The inner lining material and the sprue body material are laid out in the manner of first arranging the body and then arranging the inner lining material, and then formed by isostatic pressing. (3) Sintering treatment is carried out by nitrogen protection, argon protection, or carbon embedding sintering; (4) After sintering, the pre-made refractory fiber is bound to the outside of the nozzle body with a high-temperature adhesive to form an outer heat insulation structure, and finally an anti-clogging immersion nozzle is obtained.
[0015] According to the above scheme, in step (1), a planetary ball mill is used for mixing. The mixing is carried out by alternating forward and reverse rotation, with a rotation speed of 200-350 r / min. The direction is changed every 5 minutes, and the mixing time is 30-60 minutes.
[0016] According to the above scheme, the pressure of isostatic pressing in step (2) is between 200-350MPa, and the holding time is 15-35min.
[0017] According to the above scheme, the sintering temperature in step (3) is 1550~1650℃ and the holding time is 3.5-6h.
[0018] According to the above scheme, the refractory fiber in step (4) is aluminum silicate fiber or alumina fiber.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The anti-clogging principle of the anti-clogging lining material of this invention is to design the components in the phase diagram region. In actual production, due to the increased enrichment of alumina, it reacts with the anti-clogging material. According to the phase diagram principle, the reaction products will move along the line connecting the composition design point and Al2O3 to the low melting point region. Driven by the steel flow, they will melt and enter the crystallizer, so that alumina does not accumulate on the inner wall of the nozzle, thereby eliminating nozzle blockage.
[0020] The additives are one or a combination of several of MgAlON, AlON, SiAlON, and MgAl2O4. Since AlON has low wettability with molten steel, using MgAlON, AlON, SiAlON, and MgAl2O4 as second-phase additives can improve the slag erosion resistance of the lining material. Meanwhile, Al2O3 is trigonal, while AlON is primarily spinel cubic, resulting in a high interfacial energy between them. This prevents Al2O3 inclusions in the molten steel from accumulating on the surface of the lining material during high-temperature operation, thereby reducing nozzle clogging.
[0021] The composite binder is composed of metal oxides, rare earth elements, and boron / carbon / nitrides mixed in a mass ratio of (2-5):1:(1-3). The addition of the composite binder helps improve the thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance of the lining material. The combination of metal oxides and rare earth elements "purifies" the grain boundaries by forming rare earth aluminosilicate phases, thereby improving the high-temperature strength and creep resistance of the grain boundaries and also regulating the melting point of the grain boundaries. The addition of boron / carbon / nitrides improves the oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance of the lining material by forming a protective film on its surface. Simultaneously, the oxides in the composite binder enhance the tightness of the nozzle through high-temperature fluxing, reducing porosity and indirectly improving the hydration resistance of the lining material.
[0022] This invention relates to a calcium-silicon-aluminum submersible nozzle lining material, which features excellent anti-clogging performance and long service life. It can be applied not only to submersible nozzles in continuous casting molds but also to high-temperature industries such as anti-clogging of long nozzles in ladles using aluminum deoxidized steel and anti-nodulation of tundish stopper rods. This overcomes the current problem of nodulation and clogging in submersible nozzles made of aluminum deoxidized steel, such as those used in automotive steel casting, and holds promise for large-scale production application.
[0023] The bulk density of the calcium-silicon-aluminum submersible nozzle liner material of this invention is 2.65-3.20 g / cm³.3 Apparent porosity 10-15%, thermal shock stability >10 cycles (1100℃-water cooling), and 8-15 consecutive casting cycles in actual use. Attached Figure Description

[0077] The lining material was tested and found to have a bulk density of 2.6 g / cm³. 3 It has an apparent porosity of 13%, thermal shock resistance of 8 cycles (1100℃-water cooling), and 5 consecutive casting cycles during actual use.
[0078] Comparative Example 2 Repeat Example 1, except that the composite binder is replaced with a silica sol binder, and the rest of the process remains the same.
[0079] The lining material was tested and found to have a bulk density of 2.45 g / cm³. 3 It has an apparent porosity of 23%, thermal shock resistance of 4 cycles (1100℃-water cooling), and two consecutive casting cycles during actual use.
[0080] Comparative Example 3 Repeat Example 1, but omit the addition of the additives, while keeping the rest of the process unchanged.
[0081] The lining material was tested and found to have a bulk density of 2.53 g / cm³. 3 It has an apparent porosity of 15%, thermal shock resistance of 3 cycles (1100℃-water cooling), and has been continuously cast in 3 furnaces during actual use.
