Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting technology, and in particular to a continuous casting tundish with a nano-insulation plate. Background Technology
[0002] In the continuous casting process, the tundish is an important piece of equipment connecting the ladle and the crystallizer. Its internal structure and material selection have a significant impact on the quality and production efficiency of continuous casting.
[0003] In the design of traditional tundishes, the impact pad, as a key component that withstands the direct impact of molten steel, is usually made of refractory material cast as a whole. Although it can withstand certain high temperatures and erosion, it is still prone to wear, cracking or even falling off under the strong impact of high-temperature molten steel for a long time. This may lead to adverse phenomena such as eddies and inclusion accumulation when molten steel flows through the tundish, which in turn affects the internal and surface quality of the billet. Therefore, we propose a continuous casting tundish with a nano-insulation plate. Utility Model Content

This solves the problem that the impact pad, as a key component that bears the direct impact of molten steel, is usually made of refractory material and cast as a whole. Although it can withstand certain high temperatures and erosion, it is still prone to wear, cracking or even falling off when subjected to strong impact from high-temperature molten steel for a long time. This may lead to adverse phenomena such as eddies and inclusions when molten steel flows through the tundish, which in turn affects the internal and surface quality of the billet.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a continuous casting tundish with a nano-insulation plate, comprising:
[0028] The refractory shell 1 of the tundish has multiple water inlets 4 on its inner bottom wall;
[0029] The flow diversion structure is located inside the refractory shell 1 of the tundish.
[0030] The flow diversion structure includes an impact pad 5, a flow diversion cone 6, a threaded post 10, and a nut 9. The impact pad 5 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the refractory shell 1 of the tundish. A threaded hole 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the impact pad 5. An installation groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the impact pad 5. The installation groove 11 communicates with the interior of the threaded hole 8. The threaded post 10 is threadedly connected to the interior of the threaded hole 8. The flow diversion cone 6 is welded to the top of the threaded post 10. The bottom thread of the threaded hole 8 extends into the interior of the installation groove 11. The nut 9 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded post 10. The nut 9 is located inside the installation groove 11.
[0031] Multiple diversion grooves 7 are provided on the outside of the impact pad 5. All multiple diversion grooves 7 are connected to the inside of the impact pad 5. All multiple diversion grooves 7 are opened at an angle. A slag retaining wall 2 is fixedly connected inside the refractory shell 1 of the intermediate liner. A slag retaining dam 3 is fixedly connected inside the refractory shell 1 of the intermediate liner. Both slag retaining dams 3 are located on one side of the corresponding slag retaining wall 2. The cross-section of the impact pad 5 is a "U" shaped structure.
[0032] The intermediate refractory shell 1 includes a working layer 12, a permanent layer 13, a nano-insulation board 14, and an insulation layer 15. The nano-insulation board 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation layer 15, the permanent layer 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the nano-insulation board 14, and the working layer 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the permanent layer 13.
[0033] Furthermore, when using this device, the threaded post 10 is threaded into the threaded hole 8 by a person, and then the nut 9 is threaded into the threaded post 10, which facilitates the fixing of the diverting cone 6 inside the impact pad 5. This allows the impact pad 5 to be installed on the inner bottom wall of the refractory shell 1 of the tundish, enabling the molten steel to disperse and flow along the cone surface of the diverting cone 6 when impacting the impact pad 5, effectively reducing the impact force per unit area. Simultaneously, since the cone structure is detachable, when it suffers severe wear or damage, a new cone structure can be easily replaced without replacing the entire impact pad, thus reducing maintenance costs. The diverting channel 7 can guide and discharge the impacted molten steel. Hot plate 14 (thermal conductivity ≤0.042W / mk) is adhered inside the tundish shell as a heat insulation layer, effectively reducing heat dissipation during the casting process. Compared with the original tundish, the outer wall temperature of the tundish is reduced by more than 50℃ after the nano-insulation plate 14 is adhered. By comparison, the temperature of the ladle can be reduced by about 10℃ after the nano-insulation plate 14 is adhered (the original average temperature of the ladle was 1598℃, and the average temperature of the ladle after the nano-insulation plate 14 is adhered). The temperature drop from the ladle to the tundish during the casting process can be reduced by about 10℃ after the nano-insulation plate 14 is adhered (the original average temperature drop was about 43℃, and the average temperature drop after the nano-insulation plate 14 is about 33℃).
[0034] With the cooperation of the diversion cone 6, the threaded column 10 and the nut 9, the molten steel can be dispersed and flow along the cone surface of the diversion cone 6 when it impacts the impact pad 5, thereby effectively reducing the impact force per unit area. At the same time, since the cone structure can be disassembled, when it is severely worn or damaged, a new cone structure can be easily replaced without replacing the entire impact pad, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0035] Structural Description: Tundish Refractory Shell 1 and its Inner Bottom Wall Nozzle 4: The tundish refractory shell 1 is the main structure of the entire tundish, and is composed of multiple layers of refractory materials, including working layer 12, permanent layer 13, nano-insulation board 14 and insulation layer 15. These layers together provide good thermal insulation performance and erosion resistance.
[0036] Multiple nozzles 4 are opened on the inner bottom wall to distribute molten steel from the tundish to each crystallizer, thus realizing the function of molten steel diversion.
[0037] Diversion structure: Located inside the refractory shell 1 of the tundish, it mainly consists of impact pad 5, diversion cone 6, threaded column 10 and nut 9. The design of this structure is intended to optimize the flow state of molten steel in the tundish.
[0038] Impact pad 5: It is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the refractory shell 1 of the tundish. Its "U"-shaped structure helps to collect and guide the molten steel. At the same time, the multiple inclined diversion grooves 7 opened on the impact pad 5 can guide the molten steel to flow in a specific direction, further promoting the diversion and uniform distribution of the molten steel.
[0039] Diverting cone 6: It is fixed to the impact pad 5 by threaded post 10 and nut 9. Its cone design helps to disperse the molten steel in all directions, reduce the direct impact of molten steel on the impact pad 5, and improve the service life of the impact pad 5.
[0040] Threaded post 10 and nut 9: enable a detachable connection between the flow divider cone 6 and the impact pad 5, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the flow divider cone 6;
[0041] The installation of slag retaining wall 2 and slag retaining dam 3 helps to block inclusions in molten steel and prevent them from entering the crystallizer, thereby improving the cleanliness of molten steel.
[0042] The location and shape design of the slag retaining wall 2 and slag retaining dam 3 can also guide the flow path of molten steel in the tundish, prolong the residence time of molten steel in the tundish, and facilitate the flotation and removal of inclusions in the molten steel.
[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
