Definitions
- the subject of his invention are the snorkels for recirculating vacuum-degassing of steel.
- the process of vacuum degassing of steel in steel ladle has the purpose of reducing the content harmful gasses dissolved in steel as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, as well as decarbourizing and raising steel purity, thus improving its mechanical properties.
- the vacuum-chamber throat located in its lower section, consists of separate ceramic rings connected to the metal-drawing and recirculating snorkels, located coaxially to each other and their internal refractory lining is made of several layers of ceramic blocks arranged next to each other in one circumferential line.
- liquid steel is drawn from the ladle to the vacuum chamber of the RH unit, whereby the steel is circulated due to inert gas, preferably argon, being supplied through metal-drawing snorkel.
- inert gas preferably argon
- the inert gas pumps liquid steel into vacuum chamber through the metal-drawing snorkel, wherefrom, after its degassing, the steel returns to the ladle through the other, recirculating snorkel.
- Liquid steel is drawn only up to the level of the barometric pressure column which depends on external pressure and the pressure in the vacuum chamber.
- the US patent 5024421 reveals a steel degasser snorkel for circulating molten metal from a ladle to a vacuum vessel that has a two-part steel casing in form of a sleeve with external flange, with its internal surface provided with flanged keystones, on which pressure grout and refractory bricks, connected with the grout, are supported.
- These ceramic blocks form the internal lining of the steel casing and are arranged in annular layers, connected with each other so as to create a monolithic set of steel degassing snorkel only to the level of the steel casing, whereas the monolith does not cover the rings of the throat of the vacuum chamber of degasser unit.
- Patents JP51253318A , JP08218113A and US 3521873 disclose also the methods of cooling of snorkels for vacuum degassing of steel consisting in blowing air or gas through a gap created between two steel casings of those snorkels.
- the external refractory lining of snorkels has a relatively short service life because of concrete-dissolving chemical corrosion that takes place in their service as a result of direct contact with the liquid layer of slag and having a destructive effect on the refractory lining of snorkels.
- the concrete surface is sprayed with alkaline mass during time breaks between consecutive steel melting cycles. Thus, a layer of material that protects the concrete against direct contact with liquid slag is created.
- the above mentioned snorkels have a steel casing, which holds the internal and external parts of ceramic working lining.
- the temperature increments of that casing after each degassing add up during the sequence and the consequential excessive rise of casing temperature leads to its significant expansion and deformation.
- the expansion of casing as a result of high temperature causes clearly noticeable cracks in monolithic lining.
- the above described phenomena have also a negative effect on the internal working lining of the snorkel because its steel casing holds the internal part of its working lining.
- High-temperature deformation of steel casing causes a loosening of the lining of magnesia-chromite blocks, thus accelerating the erosion at the joints between those blocks and the rings formed of them.
- the purpose of his invention was to eliminate the above mentioned drawbacks and inconveniences of known metal-drawing and recirculating snorkels and those of the cooperating vacuum-chamber throat rings.
- the essence of the novel snorkels for recirculating vacuum-degassers of steel consists in manufacturing of metal-drawing and recirculating snorkels, as well as vacuum-chamber throat rings in degassers, as monolithic sets, in which ceramic blocks of the internal lining are made of several layers of rings bound together with similar overlapping blocks, with perforation being made in the external refractory concrete lining of those monolithic sets.
- the steel casings of both snorkels are provided with cooling system(s), preferably gas cooling system(s).
- fig. 1 is a perspective view of either metal-drawing or recirculating snorkel with perforated surface of external refractory lining of the recirculating vacuum-degasser of steel
- fig. 2 is a perspective view of the steel casing of the snorkel shown in fig. 1 with an arrangement/system of cooling pipes
- fig. 3 is a perspective view of a fragment of vacuum chamber of the recirculating vacuum-degasser of steel in axial cross-section.
- the throat 1 of the vacuum chamber 2 of the recirculating vacuum-degasser of steel is provided with metal-drawing snorkel 3 and recirculating snorkel 4 .
- Each of these snorkels, 3 and 4 is made as the monolith, 5 and 6 , consisting of steel casing 7 with refractory lining 8 on its external surface and a sleeve element 9 of refractory ceramic blocks 10 located inside of that casing, so that the sleeve element 9 covers a set of pipes of the gas cooling system 11 mounted on the internal surface of the steel casing 7 and projecting above its upper face by a dimension L which is equal to approx. 40 % of its total height H.
- external refractory lining 8 of the steel casing 7 is provided with perforation 12 all over its surface, whereas the refractory ceramic blocks 10 of the sleeve element 9 are arranged alternately next to each other so that they form overlaps 13 with the neighboring ceramic blocks 10 .
