Tundish porous upper nozzle

To prevent blockage, traditional tundish upper nozzle and submerged nozzle service life is short. So porous tundish upper nozzle is developed to overcome this shortcoming. According to structure and function, tundish porous upper nozzles are classified into non-fast changing porous upper nozzle and fast changing porous upper nozzle(submerged nozzle can be quickly changed to promise the consistency of casting). Especially porous fast changing upper nozzle can significantly increase tundish life, although the service life of submerged nozzle is relatively low. Currently used slab tundish service life is longer than 10 hours.

Monoblock Stopper

Nowadays, alumina carbon monoblock stoppers are most often used, gas blowing holes or porous plug is inserted at end part of monoblock stopper. During casting, argon is blew into stopper hole, and then enters into submerged nozzle. Argon enters into steel liquid in the form of small and scattered bubbles, it can decrease the amount of agglomerated Al2O3, so it won’t deposit in subentry nozzle. To prolong the life span of monoblock stopper, end part should be made from zirconia based refractory.

Ladle Well Block

In modern metallurgical process, air blowing smelting technique is adopted, steel ladle purging plug pocket blocks are an important functional component for this step, steel ladle purging plug pocket blocks should have the following characteristics:

1. High temperature erosion resistance
Refinery steel ladle requires very strict standards on smelting temperature and time, the max. temperature can reach to more than 1750℃. During refinery process, molten slag alkalinity has great influence on refractory materials’ service life. Steel ladle refinery slag’s alkalinity varies between 0.6~0.4, so refractory material will suffer the erosion of acid slag and basic slag which have high permeability at high temperature, and has a quick damage speed.
2. High temperature abrasion resistance
All kinds of steel ladle refinery methods all adopt compulsory stirring, which will cause severe high temperature abrasion to pocket bricks.
3. Spalling resistance
Because of intermittent operation, temperature fluctuation is very large, which easily generate thermal spalling and structural spalling, working condition is very harsh. So currently used steel ladle purging plug pocket bricks’ performance such as high temperature erosion resistance and spalling resistance should be improved.

Steel Ladle Pocket Bricks Application

Steel ladle purging plug can be divided into built-in type integral purging plug and externally fitted purging plug combination type. To prolong purging plug’s service life, enhance it’s safety coefficient and ensure no steel leaking and permeation, no matter for externally fitted purging plug or built-in purging plug, pocket bricks play and important role and should be carefully chosen.

Pocket bricks are mainly used for continuous casting tundish and matched with nozzle bricks. Pocket bricks have high etching resistance, won’t distort or crack when coupled with zirconia metering nozzle.

Purging Plug Bricks

As air supply component is important functional refractory material of steel smelting, different materials and structures of air supply bricks can be used for different smelting vessels and operation conditions. There are mainly two kinds of purging plug bricks now: one is converter and electric furnace purging plug, the other is steel ladle purging plug brick. They are significantly different in working condition, using requirements, so the materials, structure and manufacturing crafts of them are different.

Converter And Electric Furnace Purging Plug

Converter bottom blowing gas supply component is important refractory material for top and bottom combined blowing craft, it plays an important role in smelting process. Top and bottom combined blowing converter’s gas supply component is magnesia carbon purging plug, which is installed at converter bottom. Currently, mainly used converter purging plug is isostatic pressing molded magnesia carbon air supply brick. This kind of purging plug brick has small expansion coefficient, good spalling resistance and long service life.

Electric furnace bottom blowing air supply components can be divided into two types. One is direct stirring system air supply bricks, which is similar to converter magnesia carbon containing, high pressure formed, sectionally combined air supply bricks. The other is indirect stirring system air supply components. Purging plug won’t contact with steel liquid directly, and air is supplied by surface air permeable ramming mass. Compared with direct stirring air supply component, indirect stirring air supply component’s service life is longer, and requires large flow rate purging plug bricks.
