Reasons of ladle slide plate crack

Firstly, when the molten steel flows through the casting hole, the temperature suddenly rises, and radioactive thermal vibration cracks are generated around the casting hole.

Secondly, the cast hole is first subjected to thermal shock and expansion. The change in position is slightly smaller. When the thermal conductivity is small and the temperature gradient is large, a large thermal stress is generated at a certain distance from the casting hole of the sliding plate to cause cracks.
Thirdly, ladle slide plate is a non-homogeneous material, especially a composite ladle slide plate. It is easy to cause cracks due to different expansion coefficients.

At last, mechanical constraints. The slide is heated by the heat, if there is no gap or gap between the two ends of the sliding box and the slide, it will be restricted by the side wall of the sliding box when the board expands. And the sliding plate is a brittle material, and excess crushing strength leads to crack.

The application of chromite sand

Chromite ore fines has good increasing friction effect in low and high temperature, plays a dual role too. Added to rubber can play a good role of increasing friction, and do not scratch the duality and noise. In the friction material commonly used in chromite fines Cr203, content of 25%-40%, the higher Cr203 content, increasing friction effect is bigger. Use should pay attention to controlling the amount and particle size. Proper dosage should not exceed 7%, particle fineness more than 200 projects. Excessive dosage and coarse grain size can improve the friction coefficient but also will cause friction increases obviously.

Introduction of continuous casting technology

Continuous casting technology is characterized by fast casting and focus investment, which was developing in a very fast speed from 1970s. At the first beginning, continuous casting only took 5.6% all over the world, while the data reached to 64.4% in the end of 21st century. And in some of the developed countries, it was even above 96%. In recent years, many steel plants adapted continuous casting technology instead of mould casting.

To compare with the traditional mould casting, continuous casting can improve metal recycle rate and low down power consumption. It can also make the melting work simple and short the melting time, in which way the production efficiency can improve in a large degree. Tundish is a middle progress of steel making, and it is the kep point which can decide continues casting or not. Furthermore, tundish would have a big effect on melten steel quantity and quality. Its functions are as following:

A.Diversion. For multi-strand continuous casting machine, the melten steel would be divided from tundish.

B.Continues casting. When multi-furnace continuous casting, tundish can be a holder when changing ladle.

C.Lowing down the presure.

D.Protecting melten steel quality. Through using covering agent, long nozzle and other protecting device, tundish can help to protect the melten steel quality.

Come to know the advantage and disadvantage of graphite electrode

Ultra-high power graphite electrode:
Graphite electrodes is mainly made of petroleum coke and needle coke as refractory raw materials, and coal tar pitch as a binder, which is prepared by calcining, compounding, kneading, pressing, calcining, graphitizing and machining and is released in an electric arc furnace Electrical energy on the charge heating and melting of the conductor.

Ultra-high-power graphite electrode are graphite electrodes that allow current densities greater than 25 A / cm2 and are mainly used in ultra-high-power steelmaking electric arc furnaces.

HP Graphite electrode advantages:
(1) Processing speed is faster: Under normal circumstances, graphite machining speed can be 2 to 5 times faster than copper; and discharge processing speed is 2 to 3 times faster than copper;
(2) The material is more difficult to deform: obvious advantages in the thin-walled electrode processing.
(3) lighter weight: the density of graphite is only 1/5 of copper, large electrode for electrical discharge machining, can effectively reduce the machine tool (EDM) burden; more suitable for large mold applications.

According to the use of different power and current, using different refractory raw materials and production technology, can be divided into ordinary power graphite electrodes, high power graphite electrodes, ultra-high power graphite electrodes. Graphite electrode has good electrical properties and chemical stability, high mechanical strength at high temperature, low impurity content, good vibration resistance, is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Graphite electrodes are widely used in steel-making electric arc furnaces, refining furnaces, ferroalloy production, industrial silicon, yellow phosphorus, corundum and other submerged arc furnaces and other arc furnaces that produce high temperatures.

HP Graphite electrode has good electrical properties and chemical stability, high mechanical strength at high temperatures, less impurities, good vibration resistance. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Construction procedures for refractory brick masonry

(1) Construction procedure of dynamic furnace

1. Dynamic furnace kiln masonry must be carried out after the single-machine no-load test operation of the kiln is qualified.

2. The basic procedures for masonry are:
The starting point should be selected from the hot end to the cold end or from the low end to the high end. The working point should be cleaned and lined to select fire bricks. According to the hot and cold section, different materials of refractory fire bricks should be used. If the qualified bricks are used, there are anchor bolts or bricks. The board, that is, the welding of the anchor nail or the brick board, if there is a heat insulation layer (such as calcium silicate board, etc.), it is necessary to first prepare and install the heat insulation layer, and the mortar mud should match the refractory brick to build the brick expansion gap. Reserved and filled.

(2) Construction procedures for static kiln

The starting point is selected (generally from bottom to top, from the hot end to the cold end). The line is drawn (usually based on the lowest end of the tuyere or inspection port). Fire bricks are selected according to different parts of the equipment. According to the drawings, if the anchoring nails and the supporting bricks are welded, if there is a thermal insulation layer, the installation of the insulating layer should be prepared and used. The material of the mortar should be matched with the refractory bricks to build the arch and lock the bricks , remove the reserve and filling of the expansion joint of the arch tire.

The importance of refractory design

Refractory design remains the most fundamental factor in furnace construction. Refractory design details and proven technology consideration is of paramount importance to come up with an optimum furnace life and to maintain productivity in the life span of the furnace lining.

The failure to produce a technically or operationally durable refractory design lining could give rise to premature deterioration of the refractory lining and furnace shell.

The premature failure of the furnace lining will lead to extensive heat losses, furnace bath shift, change in taphole orientation and alteration of the Pitch Circle Diameter. In this way, the pre-design of refractory lining is very important, we must pay attention to every details, finding out the most suitable refractories for each part.
