AI Technical Summary
During continuous casting, the impact zone of the tundish was not protected, causing molten steel to be exposed to the air when sparks splashed, resulting in secondary oxidation of the molten steel and affecting the quality of the cast steel.
Design an argon blowing device for the impact zone of a continuous casting tundish, including an arc-shaped argon blowing pipe and a branch blowing pipe. Argon gas is injected into the impact zone of the tundish through the arc-shaped argon blowing pipe to form an argon gas film covering the surface of the molten steel, preventing air from being trapped in the molten steel.
This effectively avoids secondary oxidation of molten steel, improves the quality of cast steel, and ensures a wide coverage area of argon gas without waste by optimizing the angle and position of the blowpipe.
