Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-temperature metallurgical equipment, in particular to an explosion-proof slag blocking cone for steel tapping from a converter. Background Art

[0002] During the steelmaking process, slag is suspended on the upper part of the molten steel. When the steel is discharged from the converter, after most of the molten steel is discharged, the remaining molten steel will form a large vortex at the steel outlet, causing more slag to flow out from the steel outlet through the vortex, affecting the quality of the molten steel. In order to improve the quality of molten steel and obtain relatively pure molten steel, the prior art uses a slag blocking cone to block slag at the steel outlet of the converter. However, since the body density and strength of the product cannot meet higher standards, the slag blocking cone will float or explode after being added to the converter, and cannot accurately block the steel outlet of the converter, resulting in slag blocking failure. In addition, there is also a slag blocking ball in the prior art, which can be added to the converter steel outlet to block slag. However, because its surface is a spherical surface, the relative area in contact with the steel outlet is small, and it often floats after being added, and the slag blocking success rate is only about 80%. In addition, the slag stopper produced in the prior art has a small groove, a slow steel tapping speed, and the steel outlet is blocked when there is still a lot of molten steel in the converter, which not only wastes resources but also greatly increases the cost of steelmaking.

[0003] After searching, it was found that the publication number is CN213060921U, and the name is a conical slag stopper for steel tapping in a converter. The application proposes that in the existing technology, the connection between the slag stopper cone head and the slag stopper cone rod mostly relies on refractory refractory clay, and the tightness of the connection is poor. After the slag stopper cone is added, the rod often falls off, which affects the guidance of the slag stopper cone and the accurate search for the steel tapping port, and has a great impact on the slag stopper effect. The application adjusts the refractory material ratio and changes the structure to ensure the normal guidance of the product, accurately find the steel tapping port, and improve the product's use stability; the whole set of products is fixed on the slag stopper car and then added to the converter, The molten steel in the converter can be filtered to block the slag and improve the purity of the molten steel. However, in the actual production process, when blocking the slag, the temperature difference changes greatly, and the slag blocking cone cannot complete the slag blocking task. The temperature in the converter is about 1650-1720℃, and the normal operating conditions are harsh. When the delivery vehicle puts the slag blocking cone wrapped with a cast steel cone into a high temperature environment, it often causes the internal cast steel cone and the refractory material to separate and explode, and the cast steel cone is exposed and melted. The slag blocking cone loses its counterweight and floats, and the molten steel flows out of the steel outlet quickly, forming a vortex slag rolling phenomenon. At the same time, most of the structures in this application cannot be reused, and the damage and waste are relatively serious, and further improvements can be made.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content
