Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steelmaking continuous casting technology, specifically relating to a submerged entry nozzle, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Submerged entry nozzles are one of the "three major components" in continuous casting and are crucial functional materials. During use, they are positioned between the tundish and the crystallizer. Aluminum-carbon nozzles have poor resistance to mold flux erosion and thermal shock. Furthermore, their poor thermal conductivity leads to slag buildup and alumina inclusions, causing nozzle blockage and severely impacting continuous casting. In aluminum-carbon-zirconium composite nozzles, CaO-stabilized zirconium dioxide undergoes calcium oxide desolvation, causing instability and fragmentation of the stabilized zirconium oxide, further exacerbating erosion at the slag line. Additionally, in the production of ultra-low carbon automotive steel, aluminum-carbon and aluminum-carbon-zirconium composite nozzles commonly exhibit nozzle nodule formation. Improving this phenomenon requires material modification.
[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.
[0004] The principle of alumina accumulation in submerged nozzles is twofold. First, when aluminum-killed molten steel is continuously cast, the aluminum added to the molten steel as a deoxidizer reacts with the refractory material constituting the submerged nozzle, resulting in non-metallic inclusions such as alumina (FR2642687A1). This process begins with the reaction of SiO2 (solid) and C (solid) in the nozzle material to generate SiO (gas) and CO (gas). Then, SiO (gas) and CO (gas) diffuse into the molten steel and react with Al in the molten steel to generate Al2O3 (solid), Si, and C. Second, nozzle blockage is related to the wetting and freezing of the molten steel and the precipitation of alumina on the surface of the relatively cold refractory material. After alumina inclusions are generated, they continuously deposit and grow on the inner wall of the nozzle (CA2260197A1).
[0005] Therefore, researching and developing new anti-clogging materials for submerged entry nozzles to reduce clogging in continuous casting is of great significance for improving continuous casting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an immersion nozzle that forms a liquid protective film during the continuous casting process of molten steel, inhibiting the diffusion of SiO (gas) and CO (gas) generated in the nozzle body into the molten steel. This fundamentally suppresses the reaction of Al in the molten steel with the immersion nozzle to produce Al2O3 inclusions. It has excellent anti-clogging effect and long service life. It can be applied not only to continuous casting immersion nozzles, but also to anti-clogging of long nozzles in ladles using aluminum deoxidized steel and anti-nodulation of tundish stoppers in high-temperature industries. It overcomes the problem of nodulation and clogging of immersion nozzles in the casting process of aluminum deoxidized steel, such as automotive steel sheets, and is expected to be widely used in large-scale production.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: An immersion gate, comprising, from the outside in, an outer layer, a body, a substrate, and a coating layer; The matrix, by mass percentage, consists of: 5-10% magnesia, 5-10% corundum, 70-80% solid solution of magnesium-iron spinel, 5-10% sintering aid, 1-5% carbon, and 1-5 wt% binder, which are mixed and sintered together. The coating layer is formed by sintering 80-90% iron-based powder and 10-20% additives by mass percentage.
[0008] According to the above scheme, the solid solution of the magnesium-iron spinel is represented as Mg x Fe y Al 2-x-y O4(x+y≦2), the solid solution includes the following forms: MgFe2O4, MgAl2O4, Mg(Fe,Al)2O4, FeAl2O4.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the solid solution particle size composition of the magnesia, corundum, and magnesium-iron spinel 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%.
[0010] According to the above scheme, the sintering aid is one or a combination of several of andalusite, kyanite, sillimanite, cordierite, zircon, wollastonite, and kaolin; the particle size is as follows: 1-0.5mm 35-65%, 0.5-0.088mm 35-65%.
[0011] According to the above scheme, the carbon source is graphite, including natural graphite or artificial graphite.
[0012] According to the above scheme, the binder is one or a combination of several of phenolic resin, furan resin and polyvinyl alcohol.
[0013] According to the above scheme, the iron-based powder is one or a combination of FeO powder, Fe2O3 powder, and Fe2O3·FeO powder; the additive is one or a combination of quartz, mullite, zirconium oxide, or magnesium aluminum spinel. The coating slurry is dispersed using an organic solvent, which can be selected from polyvinyl alcohol or polystyrene, and the mixed slurry ensures that the solid phase component content is 50-70%.
[0014] According to the above scheme, the outer layer is made of refractory fiber; specifically, it is aluminum silicate fiber or alumina fiber.
[0015] According to the above scheme, the body is made of aluminum carbon, zirconium carbon, or aluminum zirconium carbon.
[0016] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned submersible nozzle, comprising the following steps: (1) Select the raw materials of the matrix according to the design composition and particle size distribution and mix them to obtain the matrix mixture; (2) The material is laid out in the manner of first arranging the main body and then arranging the base mixture, and isostatic pressing is used for molding; (3) The raw materials for the coating layer are dispersed in an organic solvent to obtain a coating slurry, which is then coated on the inside of the sprue substrate; (4) Under a protective atmosphere, heat to 1450~1550℃ and sinter for 2-6 hours; (5) The prefabricated refractory fiber is bound to the outside of the nozzle body with a high-temperature adhesive.
[0017] 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 30-90 minutes.
[0018] According to the above scheme, the medium static pressure molding pressure in step (2) is between 200-350MPa, and the holding time is 20-50min.
[0019] According to the above scheme, in step (3), the organic solvent used is polyvinyl alcohol or polystyrene, and the solid component content of the mixed slurry is 50-70wt%.
[0020] According to the above scheme, after the sintering of step (4), the coating thickness is 0.8-3mm and the substrate thickness is 8-15mm.
[0021] The present invention relates to the application of the submerged entry nozzle as a continuous casting submerged entry nozzle or a long entry nozzle for aluminum deoxidized steel ladles.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The substrate and coating of the nozzle of this invention constitute a multiphase lining material. The Fe-Mg-Al-O compound formed generates a liquid protective film on its surface during continuous casting, making it difficult for alumina inclusions in the molten steel to adhere to the inner wall of the nozzle. Furthermore, the good wettability of the Mg-Fe-Al-O compound with the molten steel prevents inclusions such as alumina in the molten steel from adhering to the inner wall of the nozzle. Ultimately, these inclusions are carried into the crystallizer along with the flow of the molten steel, reducing nozzle blockage. In addition, the Mg-Fe-Al-O compound is a dense phase, which can inhibit the diffusion of SiO2 (solid) and C (solid) in the nozzle body into the molten steel, thereby fundamentally inhibiting the reaction of Al in the molten steel to form Al2O3 inclusions.
[0023] This invention employs a dual-layer multiphase structure of matrix and coating to significantly improve the erosion resistance and anti-nodulation performance of submerged entry nozzles. In practical use, when alumina inclusions in the molten steel are adsorbed onto the inner wall of the nozzle, they react immediately with the iron-based powder in the coating to form a low-melting-point phase. This phase is carried into the crystallizer by the steel flow, thus reducing initial adhesion to the nozzle's inner wall. Once the iron-based powder coating is consumed, the phase in the matrix is primarily spinel-based cubic, while the alumina inclusions in the molten steel are trigonal. The high interfacial energy between the two prevents Al2O3 inclusions from easily accumulating on the surface of the lining material during high-temperature operation. The combined use of these two components significantly improves the anti-nodulation capability and service life of submerged entry nozzles.
[0024] The bulk density of the immersion nozzle substrate of this invention is 3.0-3.5 g / cm³. 3 The apparent porosity is 10-15%, the thermal shock stability is >10 times (1100℃-water cooling), the number of consecutive casting furnaces in actual use is 10-15, and the thickness of the alumina coating on the inner wall of the nozzle is less than 3mm after 200 minutes of aluminum-killed steel casting.
[0025] This invention features excellent anti-clogging effect and long service life. It can be applied not only to immersion nozzles in continuous casting, but also to high-temperature industries such as anti-clogging of long nozzles in ladles using aluminum deoxidized steel and anti-nodulation of tundish stoppers. It overcomes the problem of nodulation and clogging of immersion nozzles in the casting process of aluminum deoxidized steel, such as automotive steel sheets, and is expected to be promoted for large-scale production application.
