Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Abstechen von Metallschmelzen, vorzugsweise Stahlschmelzen, aus metallurgischen Schmelzgefäßen, wie beispielsweise Elektrolichtbogenöfen, durch eine im Gefäßboden angeordnete Abstichöffnung, wobei zum Zeitpunkt des Abstichs die Metallschmelze mit Schlackenschmelze überschichtet ist.The invention relates to a method and a device for parting off Metal melts, preferably steel melts, from metallurgical Melting vessels, such as electric arc furnaces, by an in Vessel bottom arranged tapping opening, the at the time of tapping Metal melt is overlaid with slag melt.

Bei der Durchführung von thermischen metallurgischen Prozessen an Metallen oder deren Legierungen in einem metallurgischen Schmelzgefäß liegen nach Abschluss dieser Prozesse die Metalle in schmelzflüssiger Form vor, überschichtet mit schmelzflüssiger Schlacke. Um die Metallschmelze von der Schlackenschmelze abzutrennen, ist bei bekannten metallurgischen Schmelzgefäßen möglichst in einem Erkerteil im Gefäßboden eine Abstichöffnung angeordnet, durch die die Metallschmelze nach unten in eine Schmelzpfanne abgezogen werden kann.When performing thermal metallurgical processes on metals or their alloys lie in a metallurgical melting vessel after completion These processes precoat the metals in a molten form molten slag. To melt the metal from the slag melt In known metallurgical melting vessels, separation is possible in one Bay part in the bottom of the vessel arranged a tap hole through which the Metal melt can be drawn down into a melting pan.

Mit fallendem Schmelzbadspiegel bildet sich von der Abstichöffnung ausgehend ein Wirbel (Vortex) aus, der schräg bis zur Gefäßwand verläuft. Bei weiter sinkendem Schmelzbadspiegel entsteht letztlich ein Hohlwirbel, der auch Teile der auf der Metallschmelze schwimmenden Schlackenschmelze erfasst und verwirbelt, so dass die ursprünglich vorhandene Trennung zwischen Metallschmelze und Schlackenschmelze nicht mehr gegeben ist und Schlackenschmelze gemeinsam mit der Metallschmelze durch die Abstichöffnung nach unten ausgetragen wird.As the molten pool level falls, it forms from the tap opening Vortex, which runs obliquely to the vessel wall. If it continues to fall Melt pool level ultimately creates a hollow vortex, which is also part of the Metal melt floating slag melt captured and swirled so that the originally existing separation between molten metal and Slag melt is no longer present and slag melt together with the molten metal is discharged down through the tap hole.

Die mit der Metallschmelze auf diese Weise in die Schmelzpfanne geförderte oxidische Schlacke bringt Sauerstoff mit und führt beispielsweise zum Mehrverbrauch von Aluminium für die erforderliche Desoxidation, von synthetischer Schlacke für die Aufnahme der Oxide und Kalzium für die Modifikation der oxidischen Einschlüsse. Das Oxidationsprodukt Tonerde (Al2O3) verschlechtert die Gießeigenschaften und der Sauerstoff aus dem FeO in der Schlacke erschwert weiterhin die Entschwefelung und Entgasung.The oxidic slag conveyed into the melting pan with the molten metal thus brings oxygen with it and leads, for example, to the increased consumption of aluminum for the necessary deoxidation, of synthetic slag for the absorption of the oxides and calcium for the modification of the oxidic inclusions. The oxidation product alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) deteriorates the casting properties and the oxygen from the FeO in the slag continues to make desulphurization and degassing more difficult.

Demgegenüber wird bei einem reduzierten Schlackengehalt in der Metallschmelze beispielsweise die "Clean Steel"-Behandlung einer Stahlschmelze in der Sekundär-Metailurgie deutlich begünstigt, was insbesondere für die Erzeugung von "Ultra-Low-Carbon"-Stahlen für Flachprodukte eine wichtige Rolle spielt.In contrast, with a reduced slag content in the molten metal for example the "Clean Steel" treatment of a steel melt in the secondary metallurgy significantly favored, especially for the production of "ultra-low-carbon" steel for flat products plays an important role plays.

Um den geschilderten Schlackenmitlauf beim Abstich der Metalischmelze zu reduzieren, sind verschiedene Verfahren und Vorrichtungen bekannt geworden.To the described slag idling when tapping the molten metal reduce, various methods and devices have become known.

Aus der DE 33 27 671 C2 ist bekannt, einen kegelförmig geformten Strömungskörper (mit der Kegelspitze nach unten) von oben über eine Hubvorrichtung nach unten bis dicht obernalb der Abstichöffnung abzusenken. Durch diese Maßnahme umströmt der Wirbel nun den Formkörper und ist dadurch so gebunden, dass eine Verwirbelung der Schlacke nicht mehr stattfindet. Auch dieses bekannte Verfahren stellt eine relativ teure und aufwendige Methode dar, da der Formkörper im Schmelzbad einem Verschleiß unterliegt und deshalb öfters ausgetauscht werden muss.DE 33 27 671 C2 discloses a conically shaped flow body (with the cone tip down) from above using a lifting device lower down to just above the tap opening. Through this Measure, the vortex now flows around the molded body and is thus bound that the slag no longer swirls. This too known method is a relatively expensive and complex method, since the molded body is subject to wear in the weld pool and therefore needs to be replaced more often.

In der DE 298 08 318 U1 wird schließlich vorgeschlagen, im Gefäßboden um die Abstichöffnung herum gasdurchlässige kegelstumpfförmige Spülsteine anzuordnen, durch die von unten ein Gas - entgegen der Fließrichtung der Metallschmelze - in die Metallschmelze eingeblasen wird. Durch diese Maßnahme soll der Ausbildung eines Wirbels oberhalb der Abstichöffnung begegnet werden. In DE 298 08 318 U1 it is finally proposed to in the bottom of the vessel to arrange the tap opening around gas-permeable frusto-conical flushing stones, through which a gas from below - against the flow direction of the molten metal - is blown into the molten metal. By this measure the formation of a vortex above the tap opening should be countered.

In der US-A-5 203 909 wird vorgeschlagen, mittels einer Blaslanze im Bereich der Abstichöffnung von oben auf die Schlackenschmelze einen Gasstrahl aufzublasen, durch den die Schlackenschmelze von der Metalloberfläche weggedrückt wird. Nachteilig ist bei diesem bekannten Verfahren das Eindrücken der Schlackenschmelze in die Metallschmelze, wodurch insbesondere bei Ausbildung eines Wirbels in der Metallschmelze die Gefahr eines Schlackenmitlaufs gegeben ist.US-A-5 203 909 proposes using a blowing lance in the area to blow a gas jet from the tap opening onto the slag melt from above, through which the slag melt is pushed away from the metal surface becomes. The disadvantage of this known method is the indentation of the Melt slag in the molten metal, which makes it especially during training of a vortex in the molten metal, the danger of slag running given is.

Schließlich ist aus der EP-A-0 321 861 ein kippbares metallurgisches Gefäß bekannt, bei dem oberhalb der Abstichöffnung innen an der Seitenwand mindestens eine Blaseinrichtung, vorzugsweise ein Brenner, vorgesehen ist, durch den die Schlackenschmelze von der Oberfläche der Metallschmelze weggeblasen werden kann. Zusätzlich ist vorgesehen, mit einem seitlich in der Gefäßwand unmittelbar über der Abstichöffnung angeordneten bekannten Spülsteileinrichtung Gasblasen unterhalb der Badoberfläche in die Metallschmelze einzuführen, um hierdurch unter anderem gleichfalls die Schlackenschmelze von der Oberfläche der Metallschmelze zu verdrängen. Nachteilig ist bei diesem bekannten Verfahren, dass durch die aufsteigenden Gasblasen unerwünschte, den Schlackenmitlauf begünstigende, Turbulenzen in die Metallschmelze eingetragen werden.Finally, EP-A-0 321 861 is a tiltable metallurgical vessel known, at least above the tap opening on the inside of the side wall a blowing device, preferably a burner, is provided by which the slag melt blown away from the surface of the metal melt can be. In addition, it is provided with a side in the vessel wall Known rinsing device arranged directly above the tap opening Introduce gas bubbles into the molten metal below the bath surface, to thereby also, among other things, the slag melt from to displace the surface of the molten metal. The disadvantage of this known methods that undesirable, turbulence favoring the slag idling is introduced into the molten metal become.

Neben dem beschriebenen Mitlauf der Schlackenschmelze infolge ihrer Verwirbelung mit der Metallschmelze kann es auch zu einem direkten Kontakt der Schlackenschmelze mit der Abstichöffnung kommen. Dieser Schlackennachlauf kommt dann zustande, wenn beim Zurückkippen bei kippbaren metallurgischen Gefäßen, beispielsweise beim Elektrolichtbogenofen, trotz hoher Kippgeschwindigkeit die Schlackenschmelze über die Metallschmelze hinaus schnell zurückfließt.In addition to the described running of the slag melt due to its swirling there may also be direct contact with the molten metal Slag melt come with the tap hole. This slag wake comes about when tilting back with tiltable metallurgical Vessels, for example in the electric arc furnace, despite high Tilting speed the slag melt quickly beyond the metal melt flowing back.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Abstichsystem anzugeben, das den Schlackenmitlauf und auch den Schlackennachlauf mit einfachen Mitteln, ohne größeren apparativen Aufwand und ohne große Betriebskosten betriebssicher reduziert.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a tapping system that the Slag tracking and slag tracking with simple means, without greater equipment expenditure and reliable in operation without large operating costs reduced.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird bei metallurgischen Gefäßen mit im Gefäßboden angeordneter Abstichöffnung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The task is in the case of metallurgical vessels in the bottom of the vessel arranged tap opening with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme, in unmittelbarer Nähe der Abstichöffnung mindestens eine Düse anzuordnen, durch die ein neutrales Gas oder eine entsprechende Gasmischung in einem Strahl mit hoher Impulsenergie in das metallurgische Schmelzgefäß eingeblasen wird, wird im Bereich der Abstichöffnung die Schlackenschmelze von der Metallschmelzoberfläche entfemt (weggeblasen). Damit ist gewährleistet, dass trotz Ausbildung eines Wirbels in der Metallschmelze ein Schlackenmitlauf nicht mehr erfolgen kann und auch der Schlackennachlauf durch dieses Verfahren durch den entsprechend energiestarken Gasstrahl mit Erfolg verhindert wird.By the measure according to the invention, in the immediate vicinity of the tap opening to arrange at least one nozzle through which a neutral gas or corresponding gas mixture in a jet with high pulse energy into the metallurgical melting vessel is blown in, in the area of the tap opening the slag melt is removed from the molten metal surface (blown away). This ensures that despite the formation of a vortex in the molten metal slag tracking can no longer take place and slag tracking through this process with the correspondingly powerful gas jet with success is prevented.

Geregelt wird die Stärke und die Einblasrate des Gasstrahls durch eine Ventilstation, die mit einem Druckgasbehälter oder einer Druckgaserzeugungsanlage in Verbindung steht.The strength and the rate of injection of the gas jet is regulated by a valve station, those with a compressed gas tank or a compressed gas generation plant in Connection is established.

Damit durch das Gaseinblasen mit dem Gas keine unerwünschten Bestandteile, wie beispielsweise Sauerstoff in die Metallschmelze gelangen, wird ein solches Gas oder Gasgemisch verwendet, das sich in Bezug auf die weitere Verwendung und Bearbeitung der Metallschmelze neutral verhält, wie beispielsweise ein Edelgas.So that by blowing the gas with the gas no undesirable components, such as For example, if oxygen gets into the molten metal, such a gas or Gas mixture used, which is in terms of further use and Processing the molten metal behaves neutrally, such as an inert gas.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Ventilstation mit einem Mess- und Regelsystem verbunden, durch das der Startzeitpunkt, die Dauer und die Intensität des Gaseinblasens automatisch überwacht und geregelt wird. Als Messgrößen für diese automatische Regelung können durch entsprechende Messgeräte

  • die Höhe des Schmelzbadspiegels im metallurgischen Schmelzgefäß,
  • der Kippwinkel und die Kippgeschwindigkeit des metallurgischen Schmelzgefäßes,
  • das Abstichgewicht der Metallschmelze in der Schmelzpfanne
verwendet werden. Auf diese Weise kann mit hoher Betriebssicherheit ein optimales Gaseinblasen an die jeweilige Prozesssituation während des Abstichvorgangs angepasst werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the valve station is connected to a measuring and control system by means of which the start time, the duration and the intensity of the gas injection are automatically monitored and regulated. Appropriate measuring devices can be used as measured variables for this automatic control
  • the level of the molten bath level in the metallurgical melting vessel,
  • the tilt angle and the tilt speed of the metallurgical melting vessel,
  • the tapping weight of the molten metal in the melting pan
be used. In this way, optimal gas injection can be adapted to the respective process situation during the tapping process with high operational reliability.

Je nach dem Ort der Abstichöffnung sind eine oder mehrere Düsen im Bereich der Abstichöffnung so angeordnet, dass mit Sicherheit ein vollständiges Abblasen der Schlackenschicht von der Metalloberfläche erreicht wird.Depending on the location of the tap opening, one or more nozzles are in the area of the The tap opening is arranged so that it is certain that the Slag layer is reached from the metal surface.

Die Größe, Form, Anzahl und Anordnung (in der seitlichen Gefäßwand und/oder im Gefäßdeckel, Winkel zum Gefäßboden) der Düsen sind der Größe und Bauart des metallurgischen Gefäßes sowie der Größe der Badoberfläche angepasst, wobei sich die Düsenaustrittsöffnungen oberhalb und/oder unterhalb des Badspiegels befinden können.The size, shape, number and arrangement (in the side wall of the vessel and / or in the Vessel lid, angle to the vessel bottom) of the nozzles are the size and design of the metallurgical vessel and the size of the bath surface adapted the nozzle outlet openings are above and / or below the bath level can.

Schlackennachlauf durch die Abstichöffnung 10 nicht erfolgen kann.Figure 2 shows an enlarged section of the tapping part of the melting vessel 5, which is in a tilted position. In this embodiment a nozzle 3 in the lateral vessel wall 12 almost parallel to the vessel bottom 13 and arranged slightly inclined upwards. As shown schematically in Fig. 2, by the gas jet 9, the slag melt 1 above the metal melt 2 pushed far from the tap opening 10 that the slag melt with the vertebra 4 no longer come into contact and a slag idler or Cinder run through the tap opening 10 can not take place.
