Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a casting apparatus and a casting method, and more particularly, to a casting apparatus and a casting method capable of ensuring cleanliness of molten steel.
In the casting process, for example, a continuous casting process, a ladle containing refined molten steel is seated in a continuous casting machine, and molten steel in a liquid state moves from a ladle to a mold through a tundish, . In such a casting process, the cleanliness of the molten steel determines the quality of the cast steel, so it is very important to maintain the cleanliness of the molten steel during casting.
Therefore, work is continuously carried out to remove inclusions in molten steel from ladles or tundish containing molten steel before or during casting. For example, a ladle cover is disposed on the ladle, and an inert gas is blown into the molten steel at the lower part of the ladle, and the inclusions contained in the molten steel are separated and separated into slag to remove inclusions in the molten steel.
However, when the inert gas is blown into the molten steel at the bottom of the ladle, the inert gas generates bubbles in the molten steel, so that the bubbles float on the molten steel while the slag layer flows through the molten steel. When such hot water is generated, the molten steel is oxidized by contact with the air in the ladle, and as a result, the quality of the cast steel is adversely affected.
The present invention provides a casting apparatus and a casting method capable of ensuring cleanliness of molten steel.
A casting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a casting apparatus including a casting apparatus including a casting apparatus including a casting apparatus for casting molten steel into a molten steel, And a blocking member provided to be movable up and down on the ladle and covering at least the outlet and the upper region of the blowing nozzle.
The blocking member may include a support shaft disposed in an upper portion of the ladle and a blocking plate connected to a lower portion of the support shaft in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the support shaft.
The blocking member may include a driving device for moving the supporting shaft in the vertical direction, a pressure sensor connected to the supporting shaft, and a controller for controlling the operation of the driving device by using the result measured by the pressure sensor have.
The blocking member may include a CaO-based refractory at least in part.
The barrier plate may comprise a CaO-based refractory.
The shutoff plate may have an exhaust port penetrating the shutoff plate in a vertical direction.
The blocking plate may have an exhaust groove extending laterally from a bottom surface of the blocking plate.
The diameter of the blocking plate can be defined by the following equation.
expression)
Where L is the distance from the center of the discharge port to the center of the blow nozzle and r is the radius of the blow nozzle.
A casting method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a casting method comprising the steps of: preparing ladle containing refined molten steel; Disposing at least a discharge port provided at a lower portion of the ladle and a blocking member at an upper portion of the ladle so as to cover a blow nozzle provided in the periphery of the discharge port; A step of lowering the blocking member to contact the bath surface of the molten steel; Injecting an inert gas into the molten steel through the blown nozzle; And discharging the molten steel through the discharge port.
In the process of discharging the molten steel, the blocking member may be lowered to continuously contact the molten steel bath surface.
The pressure value measured by the pressure sensor provided at the blocking member at an initial stage of the blowing of the inert gas before the molten steel is discharged in the process of blowing the inert gas is set as a reference pressure value, The blocking member may be lowered to contact the bath surface of the molten steel so that the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor corresponds to the reference pressure value.
The blocking member may be lowered according to the discharge velocity of the molten steel to contact the molten steel bath surface.
According to the present invention, the oxidation of molten steel in the ladle during casting can be suppressed or prevented. That is, the slag layer on the molten steel flows due to the inert gas blown to remove the inclusions in the molten steel, thereby suppressing or preventing the occurrence of the slag that exposes the molten steel bath surface. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the molten steel bath surface from being oxidized by the air in the ladle, thereby suppressing the quality deterioration of the cast steel being cast.
In addition, inclusions in the molten steel can be trapped by the blocking member for suppressing the generation of oil spillage, thereby preventing the load from being generated in the step for removing inclusions from the tundish.
