Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically to a cold surface descaling system for continuously cast billets. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical manufacturing process, continuously cast billets are formed from molten steel through a series of solidification, cooling, and extrusion processes to achieve the final required cross-sectional shape and length before being transferred to downstream processes for hot rolling. During this cooling and solidification process, the outer surface of the continuously cast billet comes into full contact with oxygen in the air, forming a dense oxide layer composed of various oxides, commonly known as scale.
[0003] To ensure the quality of hot-rolled finished products, the outer surface of the continuously cast billet substrate needs to be inspected to determine the quality level of the billet and provide a criterion for deciding which finishing process to use before hot rolling. However, the adhesion of scale obscures the surface of the continuously cast billet substrate, making conventional quality inspections inaccurate. Therefore, manufacturers urgently need an effective descaling method to remove scale from the entire surface of the continuously cast billet, obtaining the true morphology of the substrate surface, thereby ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of quality inspection.
[0004] Based on this descaling requirement, traditional descaling methods include dry shot blasting, acid washing, or manual polishing. Many scholars both domestically and internationally have proposed a series of solutions, as detailed below:
[0005] For example, document 1 (US2640792A) discloses a process for cleaning the surface of cast billets using flame. This process utilizes a high-energy, high-temperature jet flame to rapidly melt and remove defects such as vibration marks, cracks, and inclusions from the billet surface, thus ensuring a better surface quality for the subsequently rolled products. This process can solve surface defects in cast billets; however, the flame ablation process is costly and the system is expensive, and the ablation process may introduce new defects to the billet surface. This process can meet the requirements of certain steel grades and enterprises.
[0006] Furthermore, reference 2 (US20150217336A1) discloses a high-pressure pure water jet removal process for removing scale from the upper and lower surfaces of continuously cast slabs. The core of this process is the use of a narrow-slit nozzle to spray water jets through the narrow slits, flushing the upper and lower surfaces of the slab to achieve descaling. However, this process has a typical drawback: the water jet can only remove the hot scale from the slab after quenching it. It cannot effectively remove inclusions, cracks, or other defects in the slab matrix. Moreover, after the slab cools, oxide scale will re-form, still covering the original cracks in the matrix, making them invisible and failing to directly improve the efficiency of quality inspection.
[0007] Based on the above, reference 3 (US3455062) was also consulted, which discloses a recycling scheme for two media, water and sand. In this scheme, after the sand media settles, it is pumped by a slurry pump and transported through pipelines to the sand supply pipes of each nozzle, achieving a continuous abrasive supply to the nozzles. The suspension overflows into the first water tank, and is then pumped by a sewage pump to a hydrocyclone separator for the first stage of solid-liquid separation. The supernatant is returned to the subsequent sedimentation equipment for further sedimentation, while the turbid liquid is vertically discharged into a collection tank to settle, and then recycled again by the slurry pump. This scheme has some practicality for small-flow circulation, but the slurry pump operates under extremely harsh conditions, has a short service life, and requires frequent manual maintenance and consumable replacement. Furthermore, the first water tank, which overflows, inevitably contains a large amount of abrasive particles, necessitating the replacement of the sewage pump at the bottom with a slurry pump. Similarly, the slurry pump operates under equally harsh conditions, resulting in significant operational and maintenance costs. In addition, the high-pressure water source for the ejector in this system is a completely new external water source. Its existing filtration system cannot meet the requirements for the recycling of the high-pressure water source. Therefore, this solution can only be used as a semi-circulation process. The introduction of the high-pressure water source will cause the water volume of the system to continuously increase and cannot be continuously circulated, which will lead to the system needing to be discharged or outsourced for treatment periodically.
[0008] Meanwhile, reference 4 (US5201150) was also consulted. This scheme makes full use of the overflow method, discharging water from the first collection tank at the highest point to the two stacked water tanks below. The typical difference between this scheme and reference 3 is that it eliminates the overflow channel and uses bottom pumps to pump water to achieve media balance in the descaling tank. At the same time, the water pumped by the pump passes through a separator to capture the turbid liquid and discharge the supernatant to another independent water tank. The turbid liquid passes through the three-layer filter tank stacked at the bottom to purify and reuse the water, ultimately achieving a clean water supply cycle for the high-pressure pump unit. This scheme also has similar defects to reference 3: firstly, the pump unit directly pumps high-concentration slurry, resulting in a short service life and high maintenance costs; secondly, the supernatant from the separator is discharged to an independent water tank, which is not connected to the system's reuse interface. This leads to the continuous consumption and reduction of this part of the water, causing the water volume of the system to decrease sharply after a short period of circulation, requiring a large amount of fresh water to be continuously added to maintain continuous operation.
[0009] In summary, no publicly available solution can meet the multi-functional requirements of large-scale continuous production cycles as presented in this paper, so as to achieve continuous and stable collection and reuse under different operating conditions, and to meet the goal of enabling the hybrid jet system to adapt to the surface descaling of continuously cast billets. Summary of the Invention

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the secondary filter is provided with a precision filter output pipe and a bypass pipe. The bypass pipe is interconnected with the precision filter output pipe and is connected to the second filter output pipe. The precision filter output pipe is connected to the secondary water tank.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0023] This invention enables the dynamic, real-time recovery, separation, and reuse of water, abrasive particles, and scale generated during the descaling process. Through tiered filtration using primary and secondary filters, the wastewater generated during descaling and rinsing is purified in real time. The purified water flows back to the secondary tank and is reused for rinsing in the post-treatment tank and for slurry preparation, reducing the continuous replenishment of fresh water and lowering industrial water costs.
[0024] Large particles of scale are removed by a primary filter, and small particles of residue are separated by a secondary filter. The scale is collected in a mud collection box to prevent it from mixing into sewage or causing equipment blockage during abrasive circulation. At the same time, it reduces the environmental pressure of indiscriminate discharge of solid waste and facilitates subsequent resource recycling.
[0025] The wastewater collected in real time is filtered through multiple stages to meet the standards for recycling, which can prevent the discharge of wastewater and meet the requirements of green production.
[0026] Dynamic real-time separation effectively ensures the process requirements for particle size and concentration of abrasive particles, thereby ensuring the descaling effect of the jet, ensuring the uniformity and cleanliness of the descaled finished product surface, and guaranteeing quality.

The third water pump 18 pumps water from the secondary water tank 13 through the third input pipe 18-1 and delivers it to the flushing ring 20 and the slurry distributor 8 through the flushing pipe 18-21 and the distribution pipe 18-22. The fourth water pump 19 pumps water from the collection tank 15 and delivers it to the primary water tank 12 through the fourth output pipe 19-2. The hot air delivery pipe 6 is used to deliver hot air to the drying ring 21.
[0046] In summary, when implementing this invention:
[0047] Example 1: See Figure 1As shown, to achieve timely removal of scale from the outer surface of the continuous casting billet body 14, the continuous casting billet body 14 placed on the roller conveyor 7 is horizontally advanced (optionally accompanied by rotational motion) to the descaling box 2; during the passage of the continuous casting billet body 14 through the descaling box 2, at least four launchers (first launcher 1-1, second launcher 1-2, and third and fourth launchers) fixedly installed inside it are driven by their respective motors (first drive motor 1-11, second drive motor 1-21, third drive motor 1-31, and fourth drive motor 1-41) to launch... High-speed mixed jets (first mixed jet 1-12, second mixed jet 1-22, third mixed jet 1-32, and fourth mixed jet 1-42) are emitted and impact the outer surface of the continuous casting billet body 14, achieving complete circumferential descaling of the outer surface of the continuous casting billet body 14 without any missed areas. After the continuous casting billet body 14 is descaled, it is successively pushed backward and enters the post-processing box 3. The box is subjected to continuous circumferential cleaning by the flushing ring 20 and drying and purging by the drying ring 21, which finally achieves descaling and drying of the outer surface of the continuous casting billet body 14, obtaining the clean surface required for the next process.
[0048] During the descaling process, the descaling tank 2 mainly produces three types of substances: water, abrasive particles, and scale. These three mixed slurries are agitated and churned in the collection tank 2-2. Large abrasive particles are conveyed to the abrasive pump 5 through the sand valve body 4. Simultaneously, the abrasive pump 5 pushes the large abrasive particles smoothly into the slurry inlet of the slurry distributor 8. At this time, the slurry distributor 8 also receives water from the third water pump 18, achieving multi-branch distribution output. The water is then distributed to two valves (first distributor valve 8-1 and second distributor valve 8-2) through the first distributor output pipe 8-1 and the second distributor output pipe 8-2, respectively. 1) and 2) distributor valves 8-21) output; the first distributor valve 8-11 and the second distributor valve 8-21 are opened under the control of their respective actuators (first valve actuator 8-12 and second valve actuator 8-22), and the distributed slurry is finally delivered to their respective emitters (first emitter 1-1 and second emitter 1-2) to realize the continuous jet injection and the recycling of abrasive media; for media exceeding the required amount, it flows out into the post-processing tank 3 (or descaling tank 2) through the fifth distributor output pipe 8-5 to realize the return flow.
[0049] Meanwhile, another portion of the slurry in the collection tank 2-2 is drawn in through the first input pipe 16-1 of the first water pump 16, and then output to the primary water tank 12 through the first output pipe 16-2. The primary water tank 12 receives the slurry and performs collection and separation. When the water level is too high, it drains water out through the first overflow outlet 12-1. The primary water tank 12 also uses the second water pump 17 to transport water to the primary filter 9 through the second output pipe 17-2. After the primary filter 9 performs forced separation of the water, it intercepts large particles or lumps of slurry through the first filter output pipe 9-1 and transports them to the mud collection tank 11. The other part of the water is transported to the precision filter 10 for more refined filtration. The process involves the following steps: After the mud collection tank 11 receives the blocky slurry output from the first filter output pipe 9-1, the excess water generated by its continuous static accumulation is discharged to the primary water tank 12 through the collection tank output water pipe 11-1, achieving complete water recycling. At the same time, when the precision filter 10 continuously processes the water input, it will select whether to process it through the precision filter 10 based on the differences in composition, scale characteristics, etc. of the continuous casting billet body 14. Therefore, a side branch pipe 10-2 and a branch valve 10-3 are added to achieve selective activation. Ultimately, the purified water is recycled through the precision filter output pipe 10-1 and enters the secondary water tank 13. When the water level is too high, the water is discharged outward through the overflow outlet 13-1.
[0050] Example 2 (see Figure 2 The process features two additional launchers on the basis of Example 1, adopting a four-launcher arrangement (first launcher 1-1, second launcher 1-2, third launcher 1-3 and fourth launcher 1-4), and adding slurry delivery pipes for the third launcher 1-3 and the fourth launcher 1-4 to connect to the slurry distributor 8 (first distributor output pipe 8-1, second distributor output pipe 8-2, third distributor output pipe 8-3 and fourth distributor output pipe 8-4); the first mixed jet 1-12, second mixed jet 1-22, third mixed jet 1-32 and fourth mixed jet 1-42 of each launcher are respectively aimed at each surface of the continuously cast billet body 14, and the corresponding surface is independently peeled and descaled.
[0051] Example 3 (see Figure 3 ( ): For a partial description of Example 2, at a certain accurate position along the length of the continuous casting billet body 14, the third emitter 1-3 and the first emitter 1-1 are arranged 180° opposite each other to remove the scale from the two opposite surfaces of the continuous casting billet body 14, so as to achieve the goal of force balance and ensure stable steel flow of the billet.
[0052] Example 4 (see Figure 4): For another partial description of Embodiment 2, at another precise position along the length of the continuous casting billet body 14, the second emitter 1-2 and the fourth emitter 1-4 are arranged 180° opposite each other, respectively, to remove the scale from the other two opposite surfaces of the continuous casting billet body 14, so as to achieve the goal of force balance and ensure stable steel flow of the billet.
