Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of shrouds, and more specifically relates to an invasive shroud for vacuum direct pouring of multiple molten steel refining ladles. Background Art

[0002] Currently, invasive shrouds are primarily used in the tundish of continuous casting lines in steel mills to prevent splashing, slag entrainment, and secondary oxidation of molten steel entering the tundish from the ladle. These tundishes are flat and typically coated with a tundish coating. Due to continuous pouring, the molten steel level remains relatively stable, resulting in invasive shroud lengths typically under one meter. Furthermore, without the presence of highly corrosive refining slag, these invasive shrouds have low corrosion resistance and flexural strength, making them impractical for direct insertion into the ladle.

[0003] To achieve direct vacuum pouring of multiple tundishes of molten steel using a refining ladle, the first refining ladle needs to be used as a seat ladle. At this time, the first refining ladle contains 300-400mm thick refining slag, and the molten steel level fluctuates significantly during the pouring process. Furthermore, because the refining ladle requires vacuum degassing, the height of the molten steel level from the ladle opening is over 1400mm. Conventional tundishes with invasive shrouds have difficulty achieving slag breaking and resisting slag erosion. If slag breaking is unsuccessful or erosion is severe, these inclusions will be drawn into the molten steel under the impact of the molten steel, seriously affecting product quality.
