Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical field of tubular casings containing compacted powdered or granular materials, these core casings being used for the treatment of liquid metals, in particular steels, and conventionally being referred to as "filled cores".
  • filled cores The introduction into the liquid metal baths of these cored wires allows the refining, deoxidation, degassing, calming and / or modification of the composition of these baths.
  • filled son containing Mg and C 2 Ca or else Na 2 CO 3 , CaCO 3 , CaO, MgO.
  • Flux-cored wires are typically used in secondary metallurgy of steels, among other means such as pocket stirring, powder injection, CAS (Composition Adjustment Sealed), arc pocket furnace, RH (Ruhrstahl Heraeus), tank vacuum.
  • the cored wires are used for the desulphurization of cast irons, for the production of GS cast irons, the inoculation of casting cast irons.
  • the inoculation of cast irons consists in introducing into the cast irons elements which favor the germination of graphite to the detriment of cementite, these elements being, for example, alkalis, alkaline earths (Ca) or bismuth, alloyed with silicon.
  • the primary functions of flux cored wire are, for steels, deoxidation, desulfurization, inclusion control and shading.
  • the deoxidation operation consists in combining the dissolved oxygen in the liquid steel from the converter or the electric furnace (content of about 500 ppm or more) with a deoxidizing agent, a part of which will remain dissolved in the metal. liquid.
  • the deoxidizing agents contained in the cored wires are ferroalloys, most often (ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, aluminum). They lead to the formation of oxides (silica, manganese oxide, alumina) which, by moderate mixing of the pocket, decant in the slag. Despite all the precautions taken, residual inclusions of alumina can cause the plugging of the casting nozzles or the appearance of defects on the end products of small section such as continuous casting casings in thin slabs. As a result, the cored wires also conventionally contain calcium for aluminum-killed steels. The addition of calcium alloys to a liquid steel killed with aluminum allows a modification of the inclusions of alumina, by partial reduction by calcium.
  • Calcium aluminates are liquid at the temperature of liquid steels, close to 1600 ° C., and therefore globular on product when their CaO content is between 40% and 60%.
  • the amount of calcium in solution needed to achieve the change in inclusions depends on the aluminum content of the metal bath.
  • Most of the calcium introduced by cored wire is therefore in the liquid metal in the form of liquid inclusions of lime aluminates, and does not exceed a few ppm. In practice, it is difficult to avoid the violent bubbling of liquid steel, caused by the sudden volatilization of the calcium contained in the cored wire.
  • the vapor pressure of the calcium is indeed about 1.8 atm at 1600 ° C.
  • the bubbling if it is too intense, can disturb the penetration conditions of the cored wire in the steel bath and be accompanied pollution of the bath, which oxidizes or rises. At the same time, splashes of liquid steel occur, passing through the slag layer and oxidizing in contact with the air before falling back. In addition, there is a risk of steel projection out of the pocket. This may result in a rise in the levels of O 2 , N 2 and even H 2 of the steel obtained. Boiling is reduced by introducing the calcium, not unalloyed, but as CaSi, with the major drawback of introducing silicon into the liquid steel, which is unfavorable for some steels such as deep drawing.
  • the exogenous oxide inclusions resulting from the contact of calcium with the refractories or the powders of the distributor are in fact difficult to eliminate before the solidification of the metal.
  • These inclusions of alumina are solid and more harmful than the inclusions of calcium aluminate with regard to the capping of continuous casting nozzles, for example.
  • Calcium-cored wire treatment of aluminum-killed liquid steel can also result in the formation of calcium sulphide deposited in continuous casting nozzles for steels with low aluminum content and high sulfur content.
  • the control of the inclusional state by the addition of chemical components housed in flux-cored wires mainly concerns oxides and sulphides.
  • the addition of sulfur increases the amount of manganese sulphides and the machinability of the steel.
  • Incomplete or Irregular Compaction An irregular compaction of the material contained in the envelope results in an irregularity in the quantities of this material introduced, per unit time, in the bath of steel or liquid metal. Insufficient compaction of the material contained in the flux-cored wire thus reduces the amount, per unit of time, of the material that can be introduced into the liquid metal by dipping the flux-cored wire into the liquid metal bath. If compaction is insufficient, the pulverulent material can move inside the cored wire.
  • drum here is meant well so called dynamic packaging reels that the walls of so-called static packaging cages.
  • EP-B2-0.236.246 discloses a cored wire comprising a metal envelope stapled by a fold connected to the circumference, closed on itself and whose edge is engaged inside the compacted mass forming the core of the cored wire.
  • the stapling is carried out along a generatrix of the envelope of the cored wire, possibly reinforced by crimping with transverse indentations over the entire width of the staple band.
  • Compaction of the core of the cored wire is obtained by forming an open fold, opposite the staple zone, then closing this fold by radial pressure.
  • the casing of the cored wire is made of steel or aluminum and contains, for example, a powdery CaSi alloy containing 30% Ca by mass.
  • US-4,163,827 discloses a cored wire comprising a core containing ferrosilicon, containing Ca, Al, powder embedded in a resin or a polymeric binder such as polyurethane, this core being extruded before being wrapped by simple winding or double, helically, a thin strip of metal, plastic or paper, with a thickness of 0.025 mm to 0.15 mm.
  • a cored wire has many disadvantages.
  • the materials forming the resin are an unacceptable source of pollution for the liquid metal bath.
  • the mechanical strength and rigidity of the wire are very insufficient.
  • the ferrosilicon powder is practically unprotected with respect to the high temperature of the liquid metal.
  • the document EP-0,032,874 describes a flux-cored wire comprising a thin-film metal sheath containing an additive at least partially surrounded by an envelope of organic or metallic synthetic material in the form of a strip of thickness less than 100 microns.
  • the wire has a flattened shape.
  • the thin strip is made of polyethylene, polyester or polyvinyl chloride and form of sealing, possibly heat shrinkable. No manufacturing process is described for this flattened cored wire, whose design is more of a chimera than an industrial disclosure.
  • FR-2,610,331 of the applicant describes a cored wire comprising an axial zone containing a first powdery material or granular, surrounded by an intermediate metal tubular wall, and an annular zone, between this intermediate wall and the envelope of the cored wire, this annular zone containing a second powdery or granular material.
  • the axial zone advantageously contains the most reactive materials with respect to the bath to be treated. As long as the outer metal envelope of this cored wire is not destroyed, the material that fills the annular zone acts as lagging that reduces the rise in temperature of the intermediate wall, thus reducing the risk of bending of the wire which would prevent sinking into the bath, the intermediate wall retaining a certain rigidity.
  • US-3,921,700 discloses a cored wire to be wrapped in steel, containing an axial magnesium wire and an iron powder, of low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity, thus forming a thermal insulator protecting the magnesium from overheating. fast when the cored wire is immersed in the liquid steel.
  • graphite or carbon is mixed with the iron powder.
  • the document FR-2.384.029 describes an inoculation wire comprising a steel casing sheathing a powdered ferrosilicon compound packed to more than 65% by weight of silicon.
  • the silicon diffuses towards the steel casing of the wire, when it is introduced into the liquid metal, so that: the melting temperature of the inoculant contained in the wire will decrease; the melting temperature of the steel of the wire sheath will drop; the carbon diffusing through the outer surface of the wire sheath.
  • a cored wire comprising a mild steel sheath (melting temperature 1538 ° C.) containing a ferrosilicon containing 75% silicon (melting temperature 1300 0 C) will melt towards 1200 0 C when dipped for example in a gray cast iron at 1400 0 C, this fusion from the inner part of the sheath, due to the diffusion of silicon in the sheath that lowers the melting temperature of mild steel.
  • Document US Pat. No. 4,174,962 mentions, in addition to this silicon diffusion, a dissolution of the outer wall of the cored wire sheath by erosion and diffusion, even if the melt temperature of the sheath is greater than the temperature of the bath of liquid metal.

  • the applicant has endeavored to solve this technical problem, by providing, in addition, a cored wire whose life in the liquid metal bath is increased, compared to conventional son, so as to reach a predetermined depth in the bath of liquid metal.
  • the applicant after complex and long tests, discovered in particular: 1) that it was important to avoid any combustion of paper windings described in documents FR-2.821.626 and FR-2.810.919, before entering the wire stuffed into the bath of liquid metal (free-flow zone of the cored wire); 2) means to prevent this combustion; 3) that the gain in service life of the cored wire was ensured when the burning of the paper did not intervene before the entry of the cored wire into the bath of liquid metal, the paper not necessarily having to be pyrotechnic, or classified Ml , or resistance to high inflammation, contrary to what is indicated in FR-2.821.626 or FR-2.810.919, the paper not burning in the bath of liquid metal, but pyrolyzing to become a material whose thermophysical properties are currently unknown to the applicant
