How to improve service life of ladle purge plug

 Ladle purge plug or porous plug is a critical component in ladle bottom purging system. Apart from the purge plug life its reliability, gas flow rate quality of steel produced etc are evolving as the most important parameters to judge the purge plug quality.

Methods to improve service life of ladle purge plug

The wear of the purging plugs mainly consist of erosion due to intensive liquid steel stirring, corrosion by aggressive iron-oxide rich slag at high temperature and, as well as the spalling of layers from the hot face, which is owing to horizontal cracking.In order to prolong the service life of purging plugs, many efforts have been made by adjusting the chemical components so as to improve the material properties.


1.The results showed that higher refractoriness and better iron-oxide-rich slag corrosion resistance could be achieved in the non-cement systems. 

2. Systematically investigated the effect of cement contents on the mechanical properties and found that the phase compositions and microstructure can be optimized through adjusting the cement content in corundum castables. 

3. Furthermore, Prepared three kinds of castables, of which physical properties were characterized along with their microstructures at both room temperature and high temperature to increase cold and hot mechanical strengths. It was concluded that the calcium hexaluminate phase in the matrix of the corundum-based low-cement castable enhances the cold and hot mechanical strengths.


As a part of ladle lining, the geometries of the purging plug may also influence their temperature distribution, stress responses, and service life. It was found that two optimal lining concepts were proposed to decrease heat loss through the steel shell and thermomechanical load at the hot face of the working lining.  


Ladle refining furnaces are widely employed in the modern steel-making process for decarburization, desulfurization, inclusion removal and homogeneous temperature and composition. As the crucial part of the ladle, purging plugs experience an intermittent thermal shock when the liquid steel is poured into and out of the ladle in cycles during the refining process. Moreover, an intense extra heat exchange occurs within the purging plug when the argon is continuously blown into the liquid steel through the slits assembled in the purging plug. Due to these severe service conditions, the working time of the purging plug, is less than that of the refractory lining of the ladle. Consequently, downtime is needed to repair or replace the purging plug, which leads to more energy consumption and lower production efficiency. Therefore, the service life of the purging plug has long been recognized as an important issue in improving steel-making production efficiency.


What are the causes of damage to a ladle purging plug?

Due to vigorous lancing (oxygen )

Due to Back Pressure when plug chowking

If Purging Plug well Block not patching regular

Due to boundary side oxygen lancing with high pressure.

The main reason of damage to refractory materials, including chemical erosion, mechanical abrasion and thermal stress. Thermal stress which is caused by damage to the refractory cracking the direct cause of damage.


The purging plug is an indispensable refining component; Its slit structure and distribution are important factors that influence refining efficiency.

To achieve homogenous temperature and composition of steel by fostering of slag metal refining reaction Argon gas is purged through bottom purging blocks into the steel bath. Purging is the most important activitiy in secondary steel refining process. For smooth running of the process with less downtime, plug performance need to align with operation without failure. Ladle Purging brick are widely used in the secondary refining process, and its service life determines the downtime and usage efficiency of the whole ladle.

How to prevent the tundish nozzle from clogging

 Tundish nozzle plays a very important role in ladle steel making.It is very important to learn the measures to prevent the clogging of the nozzle of the tundish. There are some measures to stop clamping at tundish nozzle.

Measures to stop clamping at tundish nozzles

(1) Ensure that there is no deformation in the sliding mechanism of the continuous casting sizing nozzle, there is no foreign matter on the sliding stroke of the sizing nozzle, and the gap between the sizing nozzles is less than or equal to 0.3mm.

(2) The size of the zirconium sizing nozzle is reasonably designed, there is no damage and cracks before use, and the board surface is flat without unevenness.

(3) The production rhythm is stable, the quality of molten steel is qualified, and there is no phenomenon of high and low temperature and molten steel interception.

(4) The personnel for replacing the sizing nozzle are skilled, and there should be no accidental burning or diameter expansion caused by human factors.


The disorder of casting process because of nozzle clogging is a long-standing issue ever since the continuous casting process has been introduced. Nozzle clogging is the build-up of solid or semi-solid material on a refractory surface which can become problematic during steel pouring, as it can affect the stream dynamics, reduce the pouring rate, and cause large agglomerated particles to be intermittently released into the liquid steel stream in severe cases. Because of the nozzle clogging, the casting speed is frequently decreased, and even an entire cast is to be abandoned.  Further, nozzle clogging can give rise to both quality and productivity problems.


During the continuous casting of liquid steel, steel flows from the tundish to the mould through a submerged entry nozzle, (SEN) as shown. This protects the liquid steel from reoxidizing in contact with the atmosphere. The flow rate is controlled with a gate or stopper rod to maintain optimum casting conditions. If the nozzle clogs and the flow control cannot make up for the reduced flux, the nozzle has to be replaced which means the production is interrupted. The clog build-up can also result in decreased steel quality as oxide particles can loosen from it, giving rise to rather large inclusions.


Tundish nozzle clogging problems take several different forms, and can occur anywhere inside the nozzle, including the upper well, bore, and ports. They are classified into four different types according to their formation mechanism namely

 (i) the transport of oxides which are present in the steel to the nozzle wall,

 (ii) air aspiration into the nozzle,

 (iii) chemical reaction between the nozzle refractory, and the steel, and (iv) steel solidified in the nozzle. In practice, a given nozzle clog is frequently a combination of two or more of these types, and its exact cause(s) can be difficult to identify.

Problems caused by clogged tundish nozzles:

Clogging of the tundish nozzle is a major castability problem in continuous casting of steel for several reasons. Firstly, clogging increases the frequency of operation disruptions to change nozzles or tundishes or even to stop casting. These extra transitions increase operating cost, decrease productivity, and lower quality. Secondly, clogging can lead directly to a variety of quality problems. Clogs change the nozzle flow pattern and jet characteristics exiting the ports, which can disrupt flow in the mold, leading to surface defects in the steel product and even breakouts. Dislodged clogs also disturb the flow and either become trapped in the steel or change the flux composition, leading to defects in either case. Quality problems also arise from the mold level transients which occur as the flow control device compensates for the clogging.

FAQ:


What is a tundish nozzle?

Tundish Nozzles are an integral part of Continuous Steel Casting process. These products are instrumental in controlling the flow of Molten Steel from Tundish to Continuous Casting.

What is the HS code for tundish nozzle?

69032090

What is the function of a nozzle?

The primary function of a nozzle is to control flow rate and convert the spray liquid into droplets (via atomisation) that are of a suitable size for depositing on the intended target.

What are the uses of tundish?

What does a tundish do? A tundish is installed to prevent cross-contamination between an overflow pipe and a drain pipe. Unsanitary water from the drain pipe could theoretically enter the system if a tundish is not installed to block this.

The number of melting sequences is important in choosing a Tundish nozzle. Different nozzles for single use Melting or multiple melts are produced and used. It seems necessary to use more resistant material to achieve higher sequences. Welcome contact us to choose the right nozzle at the lowest cost.

How to reduce ladle nozzle clogging during continuous casting

 The article explains how to prevent ladle nozzle blockage, what causes ladle spout blockage. Learn how to prevent ladle nozzle blockage and the factors that lead to ladle nozzle blockage.

How to reduce ladle nozzle clogging, as the following:

Preventing ladle nozzle clogging is not successfully completed by one simple action but rather many actions working together: inclusion count reduction, inclusion modification by the use of calcium, protecting from re-oxidation of the steel, proper tundish geometry, and proper tundish and nozzle refractories. While the concept of making only liquid inclusions appears simple in application, it can be rather difficult to maintain these liquid inclusions throughout the entire casting process.

Nozzle clogging during steel pouring in the continuous casting process is a long-standing problem for Al-killed steels. During casting the flow rate of liquid steel through the nozzle is reduced due to the nozzle clogging, which leads to serious operational problems. Even though the ladle slide gate is fully open, the molten steel flow rate can hardly meet the demand of the tundish, causing the level in the tundish to drop. To continue the casting sequence the casting speed must be reduced. In some cases casting is terminated if clogging takes place at early stage of ladle opening and the ladle returns with the remaining steel poured in the EAF/ other ladles for reprocessing or lost as ladle loss. Ladle nozzle clogging reduces productivity, decreases process yield and impacts the steel quality. 


Ladle Nozzle Clogging can be divided into three classes and is grouped according to their sources:

Class 1: Oxide formation :

Category -1.1 by air aspiration, 1.2 by reaction between nozzle refractory and steel.

Class 2: Transportation of oxides to the nozzle wall :

Category – 2.1 deoxidation products, 2.2 reoxidation products, 2.3 exogenous inclusions, 2.4 products of inclusion modification.

Class 3: low temperature chilling of steel

A way to solve ladle nozzle clogging.The concluded that:

The bigger diameter of a nozzle or less nozzle clogging could effectively generate an enough flow rate for a CC process and maintain the target casting speed. We can predict if nozzle clogging is happening by comparing the actual value and the theoretical one of the percentage of a slide gate opened

The main inclusions which caused the nozzle clogging during a CC process of the silicon steel were Al2O3 and its composite inclusions.

Ca-treatment can be a method that transform inclusions into C12A7 by adding Si-Ca wires and prevent nozzle clogging of the silicon steel theoretically. And the amount of Si-Ca wires for Ca-treatment of the silicon steel, with different dissolved Al and total O can be calculated. Ca-treatment can prevent the nozzles from clogging during a CC process of the silicon steel.

Ladle Nozzle Manufacturer

Ladle nozzle clogging during a continuous casting process

To figure out the reason causing ladle nozzle clogging during a continuous casting process for the silicon steel and get away to solve it, the theoretical calculation of flow rates during casting, inclusions around the ladle slide gate where ladle nozzle clogging happened, and Ca-treatment on refining units for producing the silicon steel. 

The bigger diameter of a nozzle or less nozzle clogging can guarantee an enough flow rate for reaching the target casting speed. Ladle nozzle clogging can be predicted by analyzing the percentage of a slide gate being opened. Al2O3 and its composite inclusions were the main ones which cause the nozzle clogging during the CC process of the silicon steel. Ca-treatment could transform those high melting point inclusions into C12A7 by adding Si-Ca wires and prevent the ladle nozzle clogging of the silicon steel.

Due to nozzle clogging, a casting speed often decreased, and even an entire cast would be canceled in severe cases. The transformation of inclusions, electroslag remelting process (ESR for short), and ceramic filters were effective methods to reduce the clogging. And calcium-treatment for transforming inclusions was thought as a lower cost and a simpler process than the others, and thus there were many studies on it for solving the clogging of submerged entry nozzles. 


Some steel with high silicon, such as welding steel, calcium should be not be added into the steel, because it can increase the welding cracks of the steel. That meant that not all steel can use calcium-treatment for solving the clogging, and there has no been a research on ladle nozzle clogging of silicon steel. But there has been being ladle nozzle clogging during CC of silicon steel, which is deoxygenated by using Al. Moreover, silicon steel has unique properties and its processes are more complicated compared to other steel. Therefore, it is necessary to study what causes ladle nozzle clogging for casting silicon steel, figure out a effective method to solve the problem, and confirm that the method would not obviously affect the properties of silicon steel. The theoretical calculation for flow rates that could affect nozzle clogging, analyzed the inclusions causing the ladle nozzle clogging, validated the effects of Ca-treatment on solving ladle nozzle clogging of the silicon steel both theoretically and practically, without a decrease of the magnetic properties.

How to make magnesia carbon brick

 The article describes in detail the process of how to make magnesium carbon bricks. What’s more, the article also expresses some other issues related to magnesia carbon bricks. Weclcome to visit our factory to see magnesium carbon brick product process.

Magnesia carbon brick Production process

The steps in the production process of MgO-C bricks are described here. First, the refractory raw materials are graded into coarse, medium, and fine sizes and are classified as necessary.  Next, they are mixed and kneaded with a binder in pre-determined blend proportions by parti­cle size. The kneaded mixture is press formed into bricks. 

By a magnesia-carbon brick there is understood a brick based mainly on the components burned magnesite, carbon in the amount of typically 5-30% carbon by weight and a suitable binder. Magnesia-carbon bricks are used in the wear lining of a converter for steel production, and are substantially more resistant to wear than magnesite bricks in which the percentage of carbon used is not so high. The wear lining of a converter can, depending on the price of the bricks, be wholly or partly constructed from magnesia-carbon bricks, especially at the location of the trunnions of the converter, where the wear is greatest.

magnesia carbon brick

Production process for MgO-C bricks

Uniaxial forming with an oil press or a friction press is normally used as the pressing equipment. The magnesia aggregate and graphite in MgO-C bricks show orientability depending on the forming di­rection of the press. The strength and thermal conductivity of MgO-C bricks show anisotropy . It is hence important to consider the forming direction of bricks when laying the bricks. A cold isostatic press (CIP) with small anisotropy is also used for the production of large refractory products such as bottom blowing tuyere bricks and taphole bricks.

Formed bricks are dried to remove moisture and other volatile components, processed, and coated as needed, visually inspected for cracks, chips, and other defects, and dispatched after removing defective bricks.

MgO-C (magnesia-carbon) refractories are widely used in several steelmaking linings. These refractories are exposed to extreme stress due to high temperatures (T > 1600 °C) required to cause the metallurgical reactions. These working conditions produced refractory wear through various related processes. The different types of degradation that the material suffers can be from thermochemical or thermomechanical origin.

Method for the manufacture of a magnesia-carbon brick, comprising the steps of:

a. preparing a mixture comprising:

1. burned magnesite

2. carbon

3. a binder solution comprising:

3.1 pre-condensed novolak resin

3.2 a solvent for this novolak resin.

4. a hardener for the resin.

b. pressing a brick from the mixture.

The method also provides bricks produced by the method and a converter having a wear lining consisting at least partly of such bricks.

How to avoid clogging in tundish nozzles

 

Various methods employed to avoid clogging in Tundish nozzles are:

1.Erosion of Alumina build-up

2.Steel reinforcement of Alumina matrix

3.Flow model studies

4.Argon purging facility in the bore of nozzles

5.Anti-clogging mix employment at bore

Tundish nozzles are manufactured by alumina carbon refractory material. The porosity ranges between 12%-15%. In order to have a purging facility however, the bore porosity must be >18% without compromising strength. 

tundish nozzle1

Tundish Nozzle

The results of tundish nozzles Clogging

Clogging in continuous casting tundish nozzles is build-up of material in flow passage between the tundish and mold, and results in:


Decrease in productivity

If clogging becomes sufficiently severe, the flow control device will no longer be able to compensate, resulting in either a decrease in casting speed or making it necessary to replace the nozzle. These events reduce net casting throughput and thereby reduce productivity.

Increase in cost

Depending on the casting shop, some portions of clogged nozzles (e.g. submerged entry nozzle) can be independently replaced during casting. This is done by use of a sub entry shroud or a tube changing SEN. However other clogged refractory (e.g. tundish nozzle) can only be replaced by changing tundishes. Therefore nozzle clogging results in additional costs in terms of tundish refurbishment or nozzle replacement.

Depletion of quality

Clogged particles can get dislodged from the build-up and result in unacceptable cleanliness-related defects in the product. The restriction of flow passage may also cause biased flow patterns in the mold which thereby cause quality problems such as mold flux ingestion, shell thinning etc.


The process of Continuous Casting has achieved new heights in recent years, as tundishes are no longer treated as simply a transfer vessel but as a metallurgical reactor. Progress in technology has led many producers to move to casting high quality steel of all grades with very long casting duration i.e. >20 hrs. We all know nozzle clogging has been a serious productivity and quality problem in continuous casting of Aluminium killed steel, which limits the slab casters to last a defined (short) time. This led to development of TCD (Tube Changing Device) casters where the SEN can be changed during an ongoing casting process.

In addition, products of steel-refractory interactions such as CA6, commonly found in tundish nozzles, were observed in the lab tests. Alumina-graphite nozzle materials were shown to clog at a faster rate since industrial alumina-graphite has strong thermochemical interactions with steel. No significant steel-refractory interactions were observed in the pure oxide or zirconia-graphite nozzles however.

FAQ:

What is a tundish nozzle?

Tundish Nozzles are an integral part of Continuous Steel Casting process. These products are instrumental in controlling the flow of Molten Steel from Tundish to Continuous Casting.

What is the function of a nozzle?

The primary function of a nozzle is to control flow rate and convert the spray liquid into droplets (via atomisation) that are of a suitable size for depositing on the intended target.

What is the result of  tundish nozzle clogging?

Irregular flow through a tundish nozzle increases the probability of generating a number of quality defects such as re-oxidation of the steel and slag entrapment. Nozzle clogging also affects productivity in that less steel is able to be cast because of the blockage in the nozzle.

What is the HS code for tundish nozzle?

69032090

Why is my tundish nozzle clogging?

The cause of the clogging is related to a combination of operating criteria including ladle slag practice, tundish refractory, deoxidation methodology and temperature.

What causes nozzle clogging?

The reason behind this problem is that some of the old material remains in the extruder due to the lower temperature needs of the new material. As a result, the old filament will not melt completely, and the residue left behind may cause the nozzle to clog in the long run.
