2. Description of the Related Art As a method for degassing molten steel in a refining vessel, there are a jet method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-123320) and a molten steel stirring method (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 6-63).
3-140029, JP-A-63-183119). The present invention is based on the molten steel stirring method of the above conventional degassing treatment methods.This molten steel stirring method blows an inert gas into the molten steel pulled up in the vacuum chamber to generate an upward flow, and the upward flow Degassing is carried out in the same vacuum chamber according to the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-1400.
No. 29) is as shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter,
This is called "Prior Art 1". In the above-mentioned conventional technique 1, a molten steel 2 in a refining vessel (specifically, a ladle) 1 is immersed in a dipping pipe 5 (having a lower end opened) 5 at a lower end of a vacuum tank 4 to a position below a slag layer 3, An electromagnetic stirring device 8 is arranged on the outer periphery of the lower portion of the vacuum chamber 4. Further, a pair of nozzles n facing the immersion pipe 5 is provided, and the gas supply pipe 9 is connected to the nozzles n. Further, the alloy storage layer 7 is provided on the upper end of the vacuum chamber 4 and the pressurizing / depressurizing pipe 6 is connected thereto. By connecting the pressurizing / depressurizing pipe 6 to a vacuum source and making the inside of the vacuum tank 4 a negative pressure, the level of the molten steel 2 in the refining vessel 1 is raised into the vacuum tank 4, and the pulled molten steel is horizontally moved by the electromagnetic stirring device 8. To generate a swirling flow. At this time, a large amount of argon gas is blown from the nozzle n connected to the gas supply pipe 9 to perform the degassing process. This one gives a strong swirl flow to the molten steel in the vacuum tank 4 and alternately switches the pressurizing / depressurizing pipe 6 to a vacuum source and a pressurizing source to repeat depressurization and pressurization in the vacuum tank 4 (for example, (Depressurization for 13.5 seconds, pressurization for 1.5 seconds) The level of the molten steel in the vacuum tank 4 is moved up and down to stir the molten steel in the refining vessel. Another conventional technique is shown in FIG. In this case, two immersion pipes 25a and 25b are provided in the lower portion 24a of the vacuum chamber 24, and the molten steel is pulled up to the lower portion 24a in the vacuum chamber 24, and an inert gas (argon gas) is blown into the immersion pipe 25a for immersion. By generating an ascending flow in the pipe 25a and returning it from the other dipping pipe 25b to the refining vessel 1, a vertical circulation flow is generated and degassing is performed by this circulation flow (hereinafter referred to as "conventional"). Technology 2 ”).

Both the prior art 1 and the prior art 2 described above blow an inert gas to generate an ascending flow in the molten steel by the ascending force, but in order to secure the required degassing efficiency, a large amount of gas is required. It is necessary to blow in an inert gas.
Further, in the prior art 1, stirring of molten steel in the refining vessel 1 is performed to move the molten steel level up and down in the vacuum tank 4, but the degree of vacuum in the vacuum tank 4 can be greatly increased in a short time while performing degassing. (For example, even if the molten steel level in the vacuum chamber 4 is raised from 0 m to 1 m in 10 seconds, the fluctuation of the vacuum degree during this period is extremely large.) It is not easy, and the equipment therefor becomes extremely large. I don't get. Further, the above-mentioned conventional technique 2 stirs and degasses the molten steel in the refining vessel 1 by the upward flow of the inert gas, but since it dips the two dipping pipes 25a and 25b, this dipping The inner diameter of the pipe must be small (for example, inner diameter d is 500 to 800 mm, outer diameter D is 1000 to
1300 mm). On the other hand, in order to secure the circulation flow rate required for degassing at a predetermined efficiency, the flow velocity of the ascending flow has to be made considerably high. For this purpose dip tube 25
Since the inner surfaces of a and 25b are worn early due to friction with molten steel, durability is poor.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by positively stirring the molten steel in the vacuum tank vertically, the molten steel in the vacuum tank can be stirred in the refining vessel without increasing the flow velocity with respect to the wall surface of the vacuum tank.

SOLUTION 1 For solving the above-mentioned problems, a degassing process in a molten steel simple degassing equipment in which a dipping pipe at the lower end of a vacuum tank is immersed in molten steel in a refining vessel and the molten steel is degassed by the vacuum tank. Based on the method, it is composed of the following (a) and (b). (A) An impeller is provided at the bottom of the refining vessel, and the refining vessel is swirled to cause the molten steel to flow radially outward from the center. (B) The immersion pipe of the vacuum tank is shallowly immersed in the vessel. The vacuum tank is made to have a negative pressure by a vacuum source, a vertical flow is generated in the molten steel by the rotation of the impeller and the vacuum in the vacuum tank, and a vertical circulating flow is generated to stir the molten steel. It should be noted that the above "dip the immersion tube of the vacuum tank into the container shallowly"
Means that the immersion depth is about 2/3 of that in the case of the conventional technique.

When the refining vessel having an impeller at the bottom is turned, the molten steel at the bottom of the refining vessel flows radially outward from the central portion by the impeller, hits the inner wall surface of the refining vessel, and rises along the inner wall surface. It is pulled up to the dip tube by the vacuum in the vacuum tank, descends again from the central part, and flows radially outward along the bottom part of the refining vessel. Since the molten steel in the dip pipe is positively stirred vertically by this vertical circulation flow, degassing is efficiently performed by the high vacuum degree in the vacuum chamber. The circulating flow stirs the entire molten steel in the refining vessel, so that the degassing of the entire molten steel in the refining vessel is uniformly promoted. In addition, since the vacuum chamber is maintained at a substantially constant degree of vacuum, the degassing efficiency is higher than that of the system in which the pressure in the vacuum chamber is changed to move the molten steel level up and down. Are better. Furthermore, since the inner diameter of the immersion pipe is about twice as large as that in the above-mentioned Prior Art 2, the circulation flow rate required to secure the required vertical circulation flow rate is 1/4 to 1 of the circulation flow rate in Prior Art 2. Since it stops at about ⅓, wear of the inner wall surface of the dipping pipe due to the rising flow of molten steel is extremely small.

By generating a vertical circulation flow of up to 0.2 m / sec, the degassing efficiency is improved while the flow velocity of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber with respect to the inner surface of the vacuum chamber is stopped to such an extent that abrasion of the inner surface is suppressed. It can be as high as possible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is an example of degassing molten steel using a ladle (refining vessel) 1 having a capacity of 200 tons, and a flange joint 1 is attached to a lower end of a main body 11 of a vacuum chamber 10.
The dip pipe 13 is detachably attached by means of 2, and the upper end of the main body 11 is connected to the upper part 15 via a flange joint 14. This upper part 15 communicates with a vacuum source, and has a lance hole 16 at its upper end,
7 is inserted in a vertically movable manner in a sealed state.
The provision of this lance 17 is well known in the conventional degassing apparatus, but the lower end of this lance 17 reaches just above the molten steel level in the dip tube 13 below the vacuum chamber 10. The dip tube 13 is manufactured by projecting rib materials from the iron core material 13x inward and outward in the radial direction, laminating a cement layer 13y so as to wrap around the ribs, and firing and curing the cement layer 13y. It is a cylindrical body having an outer diameter of 2500 mm and an outer diameter of 3500 mm. A dolly 20 that carries the ladle 1.
A thrust bearing (slewing bearing) 23 is provided on the carrier 21. Therefore, when ladle 1 is placed on trolley 20, ladle 1
Is rotatably supported by a thrust bearing 23. A drive motor 24 is interposed between the thrust bearing 23 and the bed 21, and the ring gear 22 provided on the upper plate of the thrust bearing is driven by the drive motor 24 via a speed reducer (in this example, the drive motor is incorporated). I'm trying to drive. As a result, the ladle 1 is driven at a speed of 10 times / minute. With 200 tons of molten steel placed in the ladle 1 and being placed on the carrier 21 of the carriage 20, the vacuum chamber 10 is lowered to immerse the dipping pipe 13 from the molten steel level of the ladle 1 to a depth of about 1000 mm. At this time, the inside of the vacuum chamber 10 is sucked by a vacuum source in a high vacuum (for example, about 0.05 torr), the molten steel level is raised to a height of 1100-1400 mm, and this state is continuously maintained. Ladle 1 in this state
Swiveling at 10 times per minute, the impeller 1a at the bottom of the ladle
As a result, a vertical circulating flow having a flow velocity of approximately 0.2 m / sec is generated in the molten steel in the vacuum tank 10 and is stirred in the vertical direction. This circulating flow reaches the bottom of the ladle 1 and circulates from the bottom to the top of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber 10.

As described above, according to the present invention, the impeller is provided at the bottom of the refining vessel, the refining vessel is swung, and a vertical circulation flow is generated in the molten steel in the refining vessel by the impeller. Since the degassing is promoted by the circulating flow, it is not necessary to blow an inert gas in particular, and the flow velocity of the molten steel to the inner wall surface of the vacuum chamber 10 can be suppressed to be significantly lower than that of the conventional one. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the abrasion damage of the wall surface of the refractory material due to the friction with the molten steel, and it is possible to remarkably improve the durability. Further, since the refining vessel is swirled and a vertical circulating flow is generated in the molten steel by the impeller at the bottom of the refining vessel, the device for producing the vertical circulating flow is relatively simple,
It is possible to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of the degassing apparatus and the operating cost of the degassing apparatus as compared with those described in the above-mentioned Conventional Techniques 1 and 2.
