Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting, in particular to a tundish structure which is beneficial for inclusions to float up. Background Art

[0002] In the continuous casting process, the tundish plays a key role in connecting the past and the future. After the molten steel smelted by the upstream process reaches the casting machine, the molten steel flows from the ladle through the long nozzle and then is injected into the tundish. The traditional rectangular tundish is composed of a retaining wall and a dam structure. The area where the long nozzle on one side of the retaining wall injects the molten steel is the impact zone, and the other side of the retaining wall is the stopper zone. Since the density of the liquid slag and the tundish covering agent is lighter than that of the molten steel, the liquid slag and the tundish covering agent float on the surface of the molten steel in the impact zone and the stopper zone. The tundish adopts the internal structure of the retaining wall and the dam, and the combined action of the two can promote the separation and floating of inclusions and molten steel and further improve the cleanliness of the molten steel.

[0003] Baosteel's wide and thick plates still have a large number of quality defects such as non-compliant flaw detection and non-compliant performance every year, a large part of which is caused by excessive inclusions in the molten steel. There are many reasons for the excessive inclusions in the molten steel, among which the unreasonable design of the structure in the tundish and the inability of the inclusions in the molten steel to fully float up are important reasons. The structure design in the tundish must be optimized to make the inclusions in the molten steel float more fully and obtain purer molten steel to further improve the quality of the steel plates. Therefore, the utility model provides a tundish structure that is conducive to the floating of inclusions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
