High-corrosion-resistance core nozzle for strip continuous casting and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of strip continuous casting, and particularly relates to a high-corrosion-resistant core nozzle for strip continuous casting and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The thin strip continuous casting technology is a novel thin strip steel production process and has the advantages of low equipment investment, simple production process, low energy consumption, low product cost and the like. The core nozzle is an important component for thin-strip continuous casting, three important use requirements must be met, and firstly, the core nozzle has good thermal shock resistance and can withstand the instant impact of molten steel at 1600 ℃ without cracking; secondly, the fracture strength is high, and the fracture does not occur under the condition that molten steel at 1600 ℃ is flushed and soaked for a long time; thirdly, the corrosion resistance of the molten steel is good, the steel can be soaked in the molten steel at 1600 ℃ for a long time, and the severe reaction with the molten steel is avoided, so that a large amount of slag is formed. At present, most of core water gaps are magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl)2O4) Graphite material, although meeting the requirements of thermal shock resistance and breaking strength, has poor molten steel erosion resistance. The main reasons include: first, MgAl2O4The molten steel erosion resistance is poor; secondly, the content of graphite C is higher and is 20-25%, and after the graphite C reacts with the residual oxygen of steel in a molten pool, more loose holes are left on a core nozzle, so that more spaces are left for the molten steel to permeate into the core nozzle for erosion. At present, a core nozzle used for continuously casting the thin strip is soaked in molten steel for about 2 hours and reacts with the molten steel to form a large amount of slag, so that the number of continuous casting furnaces and the production continuity of the continuously casting thin strip are limited to a great extent, and the production cost is increased.
The invention designs a new chemical composition and uses a new erosion-resistant component ZrO2And Al2O3Completely replace the original MgAl2O4And simultaneously, a corresponding nozzle manufacturing process is developed, so that the molten steel erosion resistance of the core nozzle is greatly improved. In the invention, the core nozzle can be continuously soaked in molten steel at 1600 ℃ for more than 10 hours, the surface of the core nozzle does not react with the molten steel obviously to form large oxide slag, the number of continuous casting furnaces is maintained to be more than 8, and the product quality is good, so that the continuity of the continuous casting production of the thin strip is improved, the production cost is reduced, and the strip steel product for the continuous casting of the thin strip has more cost advantages.
