Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for sealing the plane. of joint between two adjoining refractory pieces of a flow duct of molten metal.
- steel is drained from the bottom of the pocket through a flow adjustment drawer, then flows into a distributor through a protective jet tube; steel is then drained from the bottom of the distributor through an internal nozzle, then flows through an external nozzle into the mold.
- a pocket drain flow adjustment drawer has indeed generally two adjoining refractory plates, sliding one on top of the other in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow of the molten metal, which are each with a hole; by sliding the plates, the surface is adjusted covering the two holes so as to regulate the steel flow.
- the joining surface of two internal and external refractory nozzles poses the same sealing problems as the two refractory plates adjoining a drain drawer; like the external nozzle, made of material refractory, must be able to be changed during casting (using a nozzle exchange device), this nozzle therefore has a joint plane or contiguous surface with the internal nozzle.
- the depression created in the pouring duct by the flow of liquid steel causes, at the level of joint planes of the refractory parts of the circuit, of the external gas aspirations.
- an inert gas such as argon ; the injected gas is therefore found in the molten metal circuit.
- This annular channel is connected to a through feed pipe towards the outside of the nozzles; it is itself connected to means for injecting inert gas.
- the flow of inert gas is even generally high enough to that part of the inert gas escapes even towards the outside of the joint plane, ie towards the atmosphere.
- circulation means are then used practiced in one of the refractory elements so as to reach the plane of joint or interface between the refractory elements and means for sending this matter through these means of circulation.
- the disadvantage of the device described in FR 2 529 493 is that it clogs quickly and that, in the event of blockage of the circulation means of the injected material, air may again be sucked in large quantities in the pouring tube.
- the invention aims to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the subject of the invention is a process for casting liquid metal. through a conduit comprising at least two adjoining refractory pieces in which, during the flow of said liquid metal in said conduit, it is injects a gas, inert with respect to said liquid metal, at the joint plane between the two said refractory pieces so as to avoid the introduction of gases coming from the atmosphere in said conduit at said joint plane, characterized in that oil is propelled or injected at the level of said plane joint using said inert gas.
- said circulation means comprise an annular channel formed around said duct in the plane of joint of said two refractory pieces and a supply duct for said channel annular opening to the outside and connected to said gas injection means.
- the liquid steel of the distributor is emptied by an integral internal nozzle from the bottom of the distributor which communicates with an external refractory nozzle whose lower end dips below the level of liquid metal in the ingot mold.
- the two successive refractory pieces that are the internal nozzle and the external nozzle therefore form a casting conduit element for steel liquid.
- junction plane or contiguous surface of these two parts includes a annular channel around said conduit and a supply conduit of said annular channel opening outwards.
- said supply conduit is connected to inert gas injection means.
- a suitable device is added to inject oil into this circuit up to the level of the annular channel.
- This oil injection device can be an injection device or a device for periodic intermittent injections of "doses" oil.
- steel is poured into the dispatcher; the steel contained in the distributor then flows by gravity into the mold through the conduit formed by the two refractory nozzles.
- inert gas for example argon
- the supply duct of the annular channel so that, if there are leaks in the junction plane of the two nozzles, only the inert gas enters the liquid metal and any risk of pollution from liquid steel by reactive gases such as oxygen or nitrogen from the atmosphere.
- the rate of injection of inert gas into the joint plane of the nozzles therefore depends on the level of these leaks and is adapted in a manner known in itself to avoid any risk of pollution of liquid steel by gases reagents like oxygen or nitrogen.
- the oil entrained in this joint plane breaks down into particles solids which agglomerate and gradually accumulate in the interstices leak until they are completely sealed.
- sealing is carried out more quickly when injects doses of oil with a volume greater than that of the annular canal and then injects these doses of oil intermittently.
- an oil is chosen whose the cracking or decomposition temperature is lower than the normal temperature prevailing in the annular canal when pouring from metal in the duct.
- oils are used containing suspended carbon particles, which facilitates clogging leaks.
- the purpose of this example is to illustrate the method according to the invention applied to clogging of the joint plane between two steel casting nozzles.
- the oil injection device is suitable for injecting so intermittent doses of oil with a volume much greater than that of the canal annular and so that these doses of oil are propelled by the inert gas to distribute evenly throughout the volume of the channel annular; an inert gas overpressure may be necessary for this purpose when a dose of oil is injected.
- oil is therefore also injected into the inert gas circuit using the oil injection device.
- the operation of the oil injection device is controlled. so as to stop the injections as soon as the required level of sealing is reached and resume as soon as the evaluated level of sealing is no longer considered sufficient.
- the level of sealing between the two nozzles is evaluated by example by measuring the supply pressure of the annular channel under flow constant, or for example by measuring the feed rate under pressure constant.
- the purpose of this example is to illustrate a variant implementation of the casting method according to the invention in the case where “doses” are injected oil periodically in the inert gas supply circuit, in the case where inert gas supply means are available which can be regulated in flow and in the case where the injection of oil and inert gas is regulated according to a “target” sealing level.
- Periodic injection of large doses of oil and their application uniform throughout the volume of the annular canal prevents fouling of the annular channel, which is necessary to be able to maintain the tightness of the joint plane and restore it if necessary, especially after a change of external nozzle.
- the argon supply pressure in the supply channel of the annular channel progressively passes from 0.3 10 5 Pa. To 2 10 5 Pa., This which indicates a good clogging of the joint plane of the two refractory nozzles.
