AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The argon gas flow channel at the existing long water outlet is unreasonable, resulting in uneven distribution of argon gas and the possibility of mixing other chemical elements in the air, affecting the purity and quality of the molten steel.

Method used

A new long water port structure is designed, including a hollow channel in the body, an inner annular gas tank and an outer annular air channel in the bowl. Through multiple inner and outer gas tank channels and axial downward air tanks, argon gas sealing and dispersion are formed in radial and axial direction to ensure the uniform distribution of argon gas and prevent the entry of chemical elements in the air.

Benefits of technology

By blocking two radial argon gases and dispersing axial inert gas, chemical elements in the air are completely prevented from entering the molten steel, blowing away cold steel, and promoting the upturn of the steel slag in the middle-bang steel water, making the molten steel more pure, thereby ensuring the quality of molten steel.

[0002] The shroud, also called the protective sleeve, is one of the three major parts of continuous casting, an indispensable continuous casting refractory product for protective casting in today's continuous casting steelmaking. The shroud is a transition channel connecting the ladle to the tundish. Its function is to prevent the molten steel from entering the tundish from secondary oxidation and splashing. The oxides generated by the contact between molten steel and air are the main source of inclusions in the finished product. With the continuous improvement of steelmaking process requirements, the development of the shroud has also changed from no inert gas protection to the introduction of argon protection casting, and the structure has also changed from adding breathable materials to the bowl to pressing the bowl mouth air groove.

[0003] The currently used long shroud has an unreasonable airway arrangement for argon flow, which results in uneven argon distribution and the mixing of other chemical elements in the air, thus affecting the purity of molten steel and reducing the quality of molten steel. This is the inadequacy of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] A further improvement of the utility model is that the inner annular air groove is connected to the outer annular air channel through a plurality of inner and outer air groove channels.

[0007] A further improvement of the utility model is that the inner and outer air groove channels are horizontally arranged along the radial direction of the bowl portion.

[0008] A further improvement of the utility model is that the lower part of the inner annular air groove is also connected to a plurality of axially descending air grooves, and the axially descending air grooves are arranged in the bowl part.

[0011] A further improvement of the utility model is that the inner annular air groove is located in the middle part of the bowl, and the height is 10-60mm away from the upper edge of the water outlet.

[0012] A further improvement of the utility model is that the height of the axially descending air groove is 50-70 mm, the width is 5-10 mm, and the depth is 5-10 mm.

[0013] A further improvement of the utility model is that the number of the inner and outer air groove channels is ≥4.

[0014] A further improvement of the utility model is that the number of the axially descending air grooves is ≥4.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model completely prevents chemical elements in the air from entering the molten steel through two radial argon sealings and axial inert gas diffusion, and at the same time blows away the cold steel remaining in the bowl during casting; a small amount of argon gas diffused in the water outlet of the large ladle enters the tundish along with the molten steel, which is also beneficial for the slag in the molten steel in the tundish to turn over, making the molten steel purer, thereby ensuring the quality of the molten steel.

The number of the inner and outer gas groove channels 6 is ≥ 4, and the number of the inner and outer gas groove channels 6 in the utility model is 4. Argon enters the outer annular gas channel 3 through the air inlet pipe 2, and then enters the inner annular gas groove 5 through the four inner and outer gas groove channels 6. The inner and outer gas groove channels 6 are horizontally arranged along the radial direction of the bowl 12 and are evenly arranged on the radial plane of the bowl 12, which ensures the uniform distribution of argon in the inner annular gas groove 5 and further improves the quality of the molten steel.
