BACKGROUND
[2]
In the continuous casting steelmaking sector is excellent in quality and uniformity compared to conventional crude silsuyul goebeop. Thus, there is a lot of research being done against such a continuous casting fishing equipment and fishing techniques. As a result, except for special purposes and minority it became almost any type of steel, including alloy steel can be produced by a continuous casting process. Fishing equipment for such continuous casting has a continuous casting plant.
[3]
Continuous casting plant is a plant, which when supplied with the molten steel from the steel refining facility to prepare a cast slab. Continuous casting equipment steel (molten steel) carrying the ladle (Ladle), when supplied with molten steel from the ladle temporary storage tundish (Tundish), solidified continuously as the primary this slab (Slab) Given supplying molten steel from a tundish to a mold (mold), sikimyeo continuous secondary cooling of the slab is pulled out from the mold is configured as a cooling to do a series of forming operations to.
[4]
The molten steel in the tundish is taken as a given residence time, the inclusions (inclusion) is separated injured, and slag is stabilized, thereby preventing upset wealth. Then, the molten steel is supplied into the mold to form a solidified layer in the initial cast shape. At this time, the cast surface quality is determined.
[5]
That is, the cast slab surface quality in the mold by the cleanliness of the inclusions in the molten steel, the degree is determined. For example, if the cleanliness of the molten steel for inclusions is poor, and because of its inclusion may result in surface defects in the cast steel, it can be said by the inclusion clogging of the immersion nozzle is lowered slab surface quality and a fault occurs in the molten steel flow.
[6]
Molten steel according to the degree of the molten steel, while the residence time at a predetermined turn-dish inclusions separation portion, the degree of purity depends on the inclusion significantly. The degree of floatation of inclusions is proportional to the residence time in the molten steel tundish.
[7]
Thus, in the prior art, by building a dam (Dam) and Weir (Weir) as a way to prolong the residence time of the molten steel, inside the tundish in a turn-dish by controlling the flow of molten steel, and adjusting the residence time of the molten steel.
[8]
However, if the size of the inclusions incorporated into the molten steel than 30㎛, inclusion is longer than the residence time of the time it takes to separate injuries steel. For this reason, the size of the inclusions is less than 30㎛ it is difficult to remove by using the dams and weirs of the tundish problems.

From this, a rotational flow of the first member 20 to the melt (M) surrounding the vicinity of the rotating repeatedly a plurality of times can be formed. Rotational flow in this case is that the rotating direction is, for example, rotational flow in Fig. 3 (P C may be different from the rotation direction).
[85]

At this time, the control valve 420 may be a gas (g) the melt (M) to control the opening and closing manner so that continuous infusion or intermittent injection.
[87]
Block can be formed of a dense refractory quality, it may be formed in various shapes having a top surface having a predetermined area. The slit extends into the interior of the block, it is possible to penetrate the upper surface of the block in the direction of height. The slit is gas (g) therein to allow the flow, or formed into a hollow tube, or may be formed of a porous refractory material. Into the container 10 through the slit can be injected with a gas (g) a fine bubble state.
[88]

At this time, at least one of a number of blocks and the melt flow direction and the rotation by the first member 20 is a gas (g) that controls the spacing (W1) is injected into the interior of the container 10 from the gas injecting section 400 of the a it can be controlled.
[89]
For example, the shorter the distance (W1) of the block relative to the first member 20, a melt flow direction of the gas (g) can be formed in a direction that the rising steeply along the first member (20). In the case of the opposite, the melt flow direction may be formed in a direction to relatively gradually rising along the first member (20).
[90]
Further, the distance (W1) is short more, venturi (Venturi), the first member 20 and the rotational flow (P of the second member 30, the melt (M) between the by the effect of C is a gas injection) unit ( seamlessly recover toward 400), rotational flow (P C may increase the rotational speed of a). While further the distance (W1), the first member 20 and second member 30 is reduced the number of times the degree of the melt (M) between the rotational flow (P C may relatively decrease the number of revolutions of) have.
[91]
As described above, a gas injection unit 400 may cause the Venturi effect, as located in the vicinity of the first member (20). In other words, the first member 20 to the melt (M) in the vicinity by the installation position of the gas injection unit 400 and rotates a plurality of times repeatedly consistent, strong rotational flow (P C , as to form a), or less size 3㎛ of fine inclusions in the separated portion to the upper surface of the melt (M), or it may be collected by the bubbles of gas (g).
[92]
On the other hand, there may be formed a predetermined or a bath surface (N) of the size to the gas injection unit 400 or the first member (20). This is because the melt (M) by a fast upward flow of the gas injection unit 400 and the second between the first member 20 to the melt (M) by a gas (g) is injected into the melt (M) through the gas injection unit 400 the slag (S) formed on the upper surface of the smoking because pushed. As the case or the melt (M) is in contact with the screen property to the atmosphere via the bath surface (N) has a degree of purity may be degraded.
[93]
Therefore, as in the embodiment of the invention, providing a chamber (500) on the guide member and the gas injecting part 400. When the upper surface of the melt (M) or the bath surface (N) is formed, and cover the vicinity of (C) of the bath surface (N) to the chamber (500) to form a vacuum atmosphere or an inert atmosphere, and the melt (M) is queued to the It can effectively prevent contact by oxidation. Such as and bath surface (N) are protected from the outside air by a chamber unit 500, or to be sufficiently strong injection of gas (g), regardless of the bath surface (N) formed of a gas injecting section 400, a sufficiently strong times current (P C can be achieved in the formation of).
[94]
Further, it immersed the lower part of the chamber (500) in the melt (M), with the immersed portion of the first member 20 from the melt inlet (1) into holes (14) the direction of the chamber part (500) of the melt is possible (M) by overflowing the upper guided toward the lower portion of the first member 20. Thus, once a current (P to the vicinity of the first member (20), C a) to form a stable manner. In other words, the chamber portion 500 with the protection of the bath surface, or (N) times current (P C helping the formation of a), rotational flow (P C serves to increase the number of revolutions of). Thus, the inclusion removal efficiency is improved by a chamber unit 500, the cleanliness of the melt can be further enhanced.
[95]
Chamber 500 may extend in the width direction (X) may be installed on the upper portion of the interior is opened to the lower side, the guide member and the gas injecting section to face a 400 vessel 10. At this time, the chamber 500 may be respectively provided in the spaced apart position to be provided with a plurality of the melt inlet (1) the center in the longitudinal direction (Y) a.
[96]
On the lower face of the chamber unit 500, the read unit 510, and extend in the width direction and spaced apart on either side of the longitudinal direction around the first member 20, the lead parts 510 extending in the transverse direction (X) respectively mounted and wall portions that are in contact or spaced apart in the side walls the longitudinal direction of the container 10, extending in the longitudinal direction (Y) are respectively mounted to the transverse direction (X) side edge of the lid part (510) connecting the wall portions may include a flange portion 511, the wall portions and the flange portion 511 are immersed in the melt (M) and has a bath surface (N) to be hermetically protected the chamber (500).
[97]
In this case, for example, the wall portion and the flange portions 511 to be immersed in the melt (M) may be at least partly protected by refractory. Further, the when of the first member flange portion flange portion 511, in order to avoid a collision or interference of 511 to 20 when the wall portions and the first member (20, when immersed in the melt (M) ) it may be higher in height than the upper surface of the.
[98]
Lead 510 is a member of plate shape and may be formed or the bath surface (N) formed on the top of the melt (M) as well as possible covers the area. Lid part 510 can be installed height determined to be a predetermined height away from the upper surface of the first member 20, the upper surface or the vessel 10 the molten material (M) injected into the interior of the. Wall portions may include a first wall 520, second wall 530. The first wall portion 520 may be positioned to be spaced apart toward the melt inlet (1) in the gas injection unit 400, a second wall portion 530 may be spaced apart on the upper side of the second member 30 can.
[99]
The first wall portion 520 may be, for example, a vertical wall extending in the transverse direction (X). The first wall portion 520 when the can be extend in the lower side to the upper surface than is formed with a height higher, dipping as high by the melt (M) injected into the interior of the container 10 of the first member 20 . The second wall portion 530 may be, for example, a vertical wall extending in the transverse direction (X). The second wall portion 530 is formed when a lower height than the upper surface of the first member 20, and may extend to the lower side to the immersion as high by the melt (M). The second wall portion 530 of the melt flowing toward the second member 30, the melt (M) of the holes 14 to adjust the spacing distance (d1), overflowing the top of the first member 20 to the flow rate (Q1), and can determine the flow rate (Q2) of the melt flowing toward the gas injection unit 400, respectively, may each control a relative size or an absolute size of the value.
[100]
For example, the second member (30) spacing distance (d1) is shorter more, holes 14 flows to rotational flow (P than the flow rate of the melt (Q1) toward the gas injection part 400 to flow toward to C to form a) It may increase the flow rate (Q2) of the melt is used. On the other hand, the second member (30) spacing distance (d1) is farther, the melt flow rate (Q1) is fluidized by rotational flow (P toward the gas injection part 400 to flow toward the holes 14 of the C in the form of a) may be greater than the melt flow rate (Q2) is used.
[101]
At this time, these flow rate times current (P C is closely related also to the number of rotations of). I.e. flow to rotational flow (P toward the gas injection portion (400) C The greater the flow rate (Q2) of the melt used for the formation of) times current (P C to facilitate the formation of a), it is possible to increase the number of rotation.
[102]
That is, the second member 30 of the second wall section 530 and the guiding member of the chamber part 500 times current (P C is essential arrangement for determining the number of revolutions of), by a distance (d1) between them rotational flow (P C can determine the number of revolutions of). Therefore, it is recommended first member 20 to face the second wall 530 at a predetermined position spaced apart toward the hole 14 in the vertical direction at least in the second member 30 is constructed.
[103]
On the other hand, the second wall portion 530 is provided on the side opposite to the gas injection unit 400 around the first member (20). At this time, the second has a first inclined surface on a side facing the first member (20) of the wall section 530 may be provided. Inclined surface may be formed to be inclined upward from bottom to top of the first toward the second member 30 in the first member 20, a second wall portion (530). Slope is the melt inlet (1) in the second member 30, the direction toward the first member sikimyeo smoothly lower the melt (M) of an overflowing 20 can be guided toward the lower surface of the first member 20 .
[104]

[113]
In the operation of the melt processing device formed as described above, and then by the transport container the melt is transported, the melt inlet (1) the melt (M) into the container 10 through the coupling to the transport container is injected. At this time, the injected melt to form a flow toward the guide member along the bottom part 13, an upward flow is formed by a gas (g) injecting a gas injection unit 400 installed at a position preceding to the guide member. Some of the upward flow is turning toward the melt inlet (1), most of the flow is switched to the lower budithimyeo the second wall 530 of the chamber to flood the first member (20) unit 500. Some of the flow toward the bottom of the second member 30, only leaving the overflowing of the upper exit side holes 14, the remainder falling to a venturi effect in the vicinity of the gas injection unit 400 and then reaches the bottom part 13 by flooding with the lower surface of the first member 20 once the current (P C to form). Is by using a rotational flow can be a melt (M) of removing inclusions (s') it is gas (g) and the number of times contact. Chamber unit 500 during this process, or wrapped around the bath surface (N) forming an inert atmosphere or vacuum atmosphere, and thereby, it is possible to prevent contamination of the melt (M) by the atmosphere.
[114]
It will now be described in detail with a melt processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Melt processing method according to an embodiment of the invention, as applicable to the above-described melt processing apparatus a melt processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the interior is opened to the upper side a hole formed in the bottom portion the melt injected in addition to the upper provided and the hole and the melt process for preparing a container provided with a guide member between the injection unit, the process of injecting the molten material into the container, the process of flooding the melt to the upper portion of the guide member, the gas derived through infusion section members and melt inlet injecting a gas into the interior of the vessel between and includes the step of forming a rotational flow of the melt. At this time, the melt (M) includes a molten steel and gas (g) may include an inert gas.
[115]
First, the interior is opened to the upper side, and a hole 14 formed in the bottom part 13, is provided with a melt inlet (1) on top, induction between the hole 14 and the melt inlet (1) member prepare a provided vessel (10). At this time, the guide member includes a first member 20 attached to the melt inlet (1) side walls (12) longitudinally in spaced side holes 14, and spaced apart from the bottom portion 14 the container 10, and the spaced side holes 14 in the first member 20, in contact with the bottom part 13 may include a second member 30 which is mounted on the side walls 12, the longitudinal direction of the vessel 10 .
[116]
Then, mounting the transport container (not shown) to the melt inlet (1), and the melt is injected into the melt (M) in the opening by the injection part (1) carrying the container in the interior of the vessel 10.
[117]
Then, the continuous embodiment the injection of the melt (M), and by increasing the level of the melt (M) thereby flooding the melt (M) to the upper portion of the guide member. At this time, it is possible to flow toward the first member 20 and the hole 14 to the melt flow (M) to the upper portion of second member 30. For example melt water melt (M) to flow to the injection part (1) toward the first member 20 to flow toward the second member 30 by overflowing the top and bottom surfaces of the first member 20, second member ( overflowing the top face 30) to flow toward the holes 14.
[118]
Then, the injection of gas into the vessel 10 through the gas between the injection unit 400, the guide member and the molten material injection portion 400, and rotational flow of the melt (M) (P C to form). In this case, the injection of gas (g) into the container (10) between the first member 10 and the melt inlet 400 through the gas injection unit 400 and the rotational flow of the molten material (P C to form a) have. Or, injecting a gas (g) into the container 10 between the second member 30 and the first member 20 through a gas injection unit 400 and the rotational flow of the molten material (P C to form a) have.
[119]
Melt (M) times current (P in C or bath surface occurrence of the melt (M) by with the process of forming), a gas (g) injected by using a chamber (500) into the interior of the vessel 10 where the wrapping to form a vacuum atmosphere or an inert atmosphere in the zone.
[120]
This process, or it can be carried gamyeo by moving the chamber (500) by for example the longitudinal direction (Y) along the bath surface position, for example, open along the top surface level change of the melt (M) due to reasons such as the continuous casting chamber ( 500) a can be carried out for example sikimyeo move in the height direction (Z). Thus, the immersion depth of the chamber part 500 may be constant, the immersion position of the chamber (500) and wraps around the bath surface (N) can be fixed to the position.
[121]
Further, after this procedure it is to align the chamber (500) on or bath surface (N), and the immersion of the lower part of the chamber (500) to the melt (M) and wrapped in the vicinity of the bath surface (N), formed in an inert atmosphere a or the bath surface (N) chamber (500) direct injection or chamber (500) to separate the inert gas in the interior of the use of gas (g) flowing into the inside, or chamber 500 of the via to It can be carried out in a manner such as to evacuate the inside to form a vacuum atmosphere.
[122]
In this case, the process of forming the vacuum atmosphere or an inert atmosphere or in the process of the bath surface to form a rotational flow can be carried out sequentially in any order, and can be performed at the same time, the two processes. Thus, the melt (M) a strong rotational flow (P in C ) formed by the inclusions (s') for removing and together, rotational flow (P C ) and the melt (M) is contaminated with the bath surface (N) generated by the that can be prevented.
[123]
On the other hand, rotational flow (P C in the formation of), the guide member, for example by a different gas injection position of the gas injection unit 400 for the first member 20, a rotational flow (P C may flow direction with the rotation of) one can control the at least one. For example, by by adjusting the spacing (W1) of the gas injection unit 400 with respect to the first member 20, different from the gas injection location of the gas injection unit 400 with respect to the first member 20, the first member 20 can be different from the action range and the size of bottoms venturi (venturi) effect. From this rotational flow (P C can be adjusted to be the flow direction and the rotation of). In this case, the first member The smaller the spacing (W1) of the gas injection unit 400 for the 20 rotational flow (P C , and the flow direction) may be formed vertically along the first member 20, the number of revolutions can be increased.
[124]
Further, the rotational flow (P C by adjusting the height of) the second wall portion 530 as at the time of formation, methods of controlling the immersion height of the chamber (500) for the melt (M) of the second member (30 ) it is possible to adjust the spacing distance (d1) of the second wall 530 of the. From this, by overflowing the top of the guide member the flow rate (Q1) and a guide member of the melt flowing toward the hole 14 by overflowing the top of the side of the gas injection unit 400, the flow and the rotational flow (P C is recovered in) may each control the flow rate (Q2) of the melt.
[125]
Thus, once a current (P C contact of the base (g) to) rotation speed by controllably induced to rotate a plurality of times the melt (M) in the vicinity of the member with Sikkim long time of stay, the guide member close to the melt (M) of It can significantly increase the frequency.
[126]
Further, the rotational flow (P C ) when the gas by controlling the injection of gas (g) by the injection unit 400 by at least one method of a continuous mode and intermittent manner, the rotational flow around the guide member to form the ( P C a) flow to the desired flow can be variously controlled. That is, continuously injecting a gas (g) during the processing of the melt (M) and the rotational flow (P C may be constantly controlled for the intensity or the like can, and rotation of) the time. Or, align or irregularly intermittent injection by rotational flow (P gas (g) at a predetermined cycle during the processing of the melt (M) C changes the strength and rotational frequency flow characteristics of such) over time, and for example, pulsed- there have to be controlled.
[127]
Such induced rotational flow (P formed a gas (g) at various locations around the member in the vicinity of the guide member by injection in a variety of ways C flow characteristics, for example the flow direction and the rotation the desired flow characteristics such as the number of) can be variously controlled by the have.
[128]
On the other hand, rotational flow (P C during the formation of a) the second injection of gas into the container between the gas injection unit injecting section 400, a base via a (not shown) and the guide member and the flow direction with the rotation of the rotational flow underwater may control at least one.
[129]
For example through a gas inlet 400, a first member 20 and the melt injected into a gas (g) into the interior of the vessel 10 between the injection unit 400, and the gas injected in the first member 20, part ( 400) spaced from the opposite side through the second gas injection unit (not shown) provided in the bottom part 13 of the second member 30 and the first member (20) gas into the interior of the container 10 between the injection and rotational flow of the molten material (P C can be controlled).
[130]
At this time, the second and at least one different control each other in a gas injection amount and the injection of the gas injection parts of the gas injection amount and injection of at least one gas injection of the part 400, the longitudinal direction around the first member (20), (Y on either side of) it may alternatively control the injection amount and the injection of gas (g). A first member 20, the vicinity of a useful water (M) flowing from it to the desired flow can be variously controlled.
[131]
To remove inclusions from the melt (M) supplied into the vessel 10 while performing the process of effectively discharging the melt (M) to the outlet (14), cast from this outlet 14, the mold (not shown) provided under the It can be molded into (not shown). Thus, it is possible to improve the quality of the main convenience being cast, it is possible to prevent the physical properties of the product surface through defects.
[132]
5 is a diagram showing the inclusions removing process and result in the embodiment; In this case, the diagram (a) of 5 is a photographic view showing an exemplary characteristic experiment for injection and solidification of argon gas to the molten steel, and by photographing the cross-sectional state river coagulation is completed by an electron microscope. (B) of Figure 5 is a photographic view showing an enlarged air bubble surrounding the solidified steel then carried out of characteristic experiment described above with an electron microscope. Of Figure 5 (c) is a view to the composition of the surrounding air bubbles in the solidified after the practice of the characteristics described above experimental steel detected through the electron microscope shown in the graph. At this time, looking at the Figure (c) of 5, it shows the X-ray intensity of energy (keV) spectrum that is the horizontal axis is for example detected by an electron microscope. With reference to Figure 5, a description process and the result of the characteristic tests to show that it is possible to effectively remove collected as a fine inclusions by injecting argon gas into the molten steel.
[133]
First, the order to perform the characteristic absorption of the inclusions in the molten steel removed by an argon gas test, provide a molten steel and the solidification put bread blowing argon gas to the molten steel. It was observed when the molten steel solidifies the solidified lecture section with an electron microscope, check the bubble and inclusions in the peripheral part is formed in the solidified steel by injecting an argon gas, and analyzing the components. The process and its results are placed in (a), (b) and (c) of FIG.
[134]
These properties result, as shown in (a) of Figure 5, when the solidified steel is a bubble formed by argon gas, of less size 30㎛ around the fine air bubbles as shown in Figure 5 (b) inclusion this can be confirmed that a significant amount is present, as in the component analysis results thereof, Fig. 5 (c), Al 2 O 3 was found in the inclusion. Which, by using the argon gas bubbles shows that it is possible to effectively remove fine inclusions of molten steel.
[135]
Thus, when injecting bubbles of argon gas into the molten steel, there is the inclusions adhering to the surface, which is due to the inclusions being deposited on the properties of low surface tension. That is, since the surface tension of the bubbles due to the argon gas relatively low compared to the interfacial tension of the molten steel, the inclusions can be trapped by the interface between the bubbles of argon gas.
[136]
In this case, the embodiment of the present invention, rotational flow (P in a predetermined region in the molten steel to be used for inclusion trapping release properties of the molten steel's inclusions to trap removed, the injection of argon gas by argon gas C of the same molten steel by forming a) sikimyeo several rotation may be contacted repeatedly with argon gas and a high frequency.
[137]
Thus, more effective Al 2 O3 and SiO 2 is the fine inclusions with a component, such as to remove trapped in the molten steel. At this time, the bubbles of argon gas trapped in the interface between the inclusions out to increase the bath surface for exit out of the molten steel, the inclusions can be removed by adsorption on the slag layer.
[138]
As described above, the embodiment of the present invention it is possible to smoothly remove trapped inclusions from the molten steel, if because it is possible for the cleanness is secured molten steel for inclusions injected into the mold, and apply them to the continuous casting process, in the mold to prevent the physical properties and defective through can be reduced nozzle clogging due to the inclusions. A result of this, it is possible to improve the quality of the cast steel in the continuous casting process, it is possible to increase the reliability and productivity of the process.
[139]

Then, the computational fluid dynamics modeling the results by entering the predetermined analysis condition; using (CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis and figures it. The analysis results are shown graphically in FIG.
[142]
Look with Figure 6 and Figure 7, the numerical analysis of the results, the melt flow direction and the 'from the first member (20 melt inlet (1), generating side), the gas lift in the gas injection section 400' the impact material according to the first member (20 ') is the melt flow increases. Some of the increased melt flow, the melt "Back side, most of the melt is increased the first member (20 injection unit 1 'is rotated toward the third member (30') in). A third member (30 '), the melt by the flow towards the chamber (500' toward the bottom and then hit the wall portion of), at this time, some of which exits the side of the second member, beyond the nozzle (70 30 '), the rest are ongoing with the bottom wall portion. Melt the process proceeds to the bottom wall unit is, the first member (20, toward the gas injection part 400 'along the bottom of a (venturi (Venturi) to the container 10) because of the effects produced on the gas injection unit 400' ) by the movement of the lower crossed, it is possible to confirm that the rotational flow around the first member (20 ') formed.
[143]
