Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of phosphorus reduction technology for low-carbon silicon-chromium alloys, specifically to a cooling device for phosphorus reduction of low-carbon silicon-chromium alloys. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical industry, low-carbon silicon-chromium alloys are important alloy materials, widely used in the production of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and other special alloys. However, phosphorus (P), as a harmful impurity element, easily segregates in alloys, especially during slow cooling, where it accumulates in grain boundaries and other areas that are the last to solidify, severely affecting the alloy's mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Therefore, effectively reducing phosphorus content and suppressing its segregation is one of the key technical challenges in producing high-quality low-carbon silicon-chromium alloys.
[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses rapid cooling technologies (such as water-cooled copper molds) to shorten the solidification time of alloys, thereby reducing phosphorus segregation. However, existing cooling devices have the following problems:
[0004] 1. Low cooling efficiency: Traditional cooling methods usually adopt a single-layer cooling structure, which has a limited heat exchange area between the cooling medium and the liquid alloy, resulting in insufficient cooling rate and difficulty in achieving ideal rapid cooling.
[0005] 2. Uneven heat exchange: Due to the single flow path of the cooling medium, local overheating or insufficient cooling is easily formed, which affects the uniformity of the alloy structure.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a cooling device for reducing phosphorus in low-carbon silicon-chromium alloys. Utility Model Content
