Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of iron and steel casting, and particularly relates to a tundish precast part in the iron and steel casting industry. Background Art
[0002] In the black casting industry, the tundish is used to transport molten metal from the melting furnace to the sand casting mold. Its function is to ensure that the molten metal flows into the sand mold evenly and stably. The tundish can also store and adjust the temperature, composition and flow rate of the molten metal to ensure the stability of the casting process and product quality. It is an indispensable equipment in the casting process.
[0003] During the casting process of iron and steel, the tundish needs to stabilize the steel flow, reduce the erosion of the steel flow on the sand mold, store the molten steel, ensure the uniform temperature of the molten steel and separate and float the non-metallic inclusions and the molten steel. However, the service life of the tundish is generally not long, and it is very easy to crack during the baking process after pouring. It needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time. And to ensure the production efficiency of casting, the tundish also needs to be easy to install and have a long service life. Therefore, in view of the above problems, we propose a tundish precast part in the iron and steel casting industry. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tundish precast part in the iron and steel casting industry, so as to meet the structural requirements such as easy installation, long service life and wear resistance of the tundish.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the accommodating cavity is inclined towards the pouring pipe.
[0013] The proportion of the flow area of the accommodating cavity blocked by the slag baffle ranges from 70% to 80%.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: As the working layer in direct contact with molten steel in the tundish precast of the iron and steel casting industry, the tundish precast of the present utility model has better high-temperature resistance and erosion resistance, and this integral structure ensures the overall size of the tundish, making it more convenient for installation.

[0022] The present utility model provides a tundish precast part in the iron and steel casting industry. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which includes a tundish 1, a nozzle filling layer 2 provided on one side of the tundish 1, a support member 3 provided at the bottom of the tundish 1, a support filling layer 4 provided between the tundish 1 and the support member 3, and a pouring pipe 5 that penetrates through the filling layer 4 and communicates with the support member 3 and the tundish 1;
[0023] The tundish 1 is spoon-shaped and includes a receiving cavity 101, a slag retaining plate 102 installed inside the tundish 1 for filtering the floating slag of molten steel, and a plurality of lifting holes 103 provided on its surface.
[0024] The receiving cavity 101 includes a feed inlet 101a, an installation groove 101b, and a blanking hole 101c provided at its bottom; the slag retaining plate 102 is installed in the installation groove 101b; the blanking hole 101c communicates with the pouring pipe 5; the nozzle filling layer 2 uses plastic refractory to fill the gap between the tundish 1 and the support member 3; the support filling layer 4 uses dry vibratable material to fill the gap between the tundish 1 and the support member 3; the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 is inclined towards the pouring pipe 5.
[0025] It should be noted that the tundish 1 and the slag dam 102 are both made of special refractory materials. Their special material compositions endow them with excellent anti-mechanical impact performance and heat preservation performance. The spoon-shaped design helps to evenly distribute the temperature, reduce thermal stress, and lower the risk of thermal crack formation. The spoon-shaped structure also facilitates the flow of molten metal, reduces oxidation and slag inclusion of the metal during transportation, and improves the quality of the metal.
[0026] Preferably, the slag dam 102 is plate-shaped and is used to confine the strong eddy current caused by the impact of the ladle stream in a local area, prevent the surface fluctuation caused by the diffusion of turbulence from entraining slag into the molten steel, and block the floating slag on the surface of the molten steel. By effectively blocking slag and impurities, the slag dam 102 can improve the purity of the molten metal, reduce the generation of inclusions, and thus improve the mechanical properties and appearance of the casting.
[0027] Preferably, the slag dam 102 is a detachable prefabricated part, which is combined with the tundish 1 through the installation groove 101b. During use, the worn or corroded slag dam 101 can be replaced without replacing the entire tundish 1, thereby reducing production costs.
[0028] Preferably, there are four lifting holes 103, which are evenly opened on the upper surface of the tundish 1. The lifting holes 103 are threaded holes, which are convenient for the installation and lifting of the tundish prefabricated part.
[0029] Preferably, the plastic refractory is a refractory material with a certain plasticity, which is composed of granular and powdery materials, binder and plasticizer such as plastic clay, and a small amount of water. It is commonly used in parts that require complex shapes or need to be quickly repaired on site, such as the furnace nozzle, furnace wall, etc. Therefore, the furnace nozzle filling layer 2 selects this kind of refractory material.
[0030] Preferably, the dry vibration material is a waterless refractory material, which is composed of refractory aggregates and binders, and can be formed in a relatively short time. It is commonly used in places such as the furnace bottom and furnace lining that require high temperature resistance and resistance to erosion by molten metal. Therefore, the support filling layer 4 selects this kind of refractory material.
[0031] In summary, as the working layer in direct contact with molten steel, the tundish prefabricated part of the present utility model has better high-temperature resistance and erosion resistance, and this integral structure ensures the overall size of the tundish, making it more convenient for installation. By using the prefabricated and pre-baked tundish prefabricated part, the time required for re-baking after the traditional tundish is poured can be saved. This solution saves time and effort, saves installation and preparation time, and also avoids the problem of cracking of the working layer during the baking process after the traditional tundish is poured, improves the service life of the tundish, and greatly improves the production efficiency of the iron and steel casting industry.
[0032] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes and modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art of the present utility model based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
