Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tundish casting billets. Specifically, this utility model relates to a tundish plasma heating cover structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, domestic technology for reducing the weight of large round billets in continuous casting is immature. Furthermore, due to the large cross-section, electromagnetic stirring is difficult to apply to the central area to address center segregation. Improving the internal quality and production capacity of the billets is urgently needed. Tundish plasma heating technology focuses on the development of the "low-energy, high-quality special steel" industry, enabling precise control of the molten steel temperature in the tundish, achieving constant-temperature casting, and improving product quality. Its main principle is to fully ionize the working gas using an electric arc generated by energizing the plasma gun, and then use the generated high-temperature thermal plasma to heat the molten steel in the tundish, compensating for heat loss during casting. Tundish plasma heating technology is primarily DC plasma heating technology. The plasma gun uses hollow graphite electrodes, which reduces the complexity and operating costs of the plasma heating process. It can reduce the tapping temperature by approximately 5-15°C, increase steel yield, increase the unit output of the continuous casting machine, and reduce costs by 5-20 yuan / ton. However, conventional tundish covers mainly serve for baking and casting, lacking space for electrode insertion.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, patent document 103252483A discloses a novel intermediate package cover. This novel cover includes a body that gradually tapers from bottom to top. A slot is provided on one side of the body, and a hook is provided on the other side. The body is divided into three layers: a lower layer (heavy castable refractory layer with a thickness of 50%-70% of the body thickness), a middle layer (light castable refractory layer with a thickness of 20%-40% of the body thickness), and an upper layer (insulation layer). The upper part of the body is covered by an outer shell, but this design fails to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
