アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の予熱方法及び予熱装置Method and system for preheating aluminum ladle for molten metal

 本発明は、純アルミニウム或いはアルミニウム合金の溶湯が一時的に貯留されるアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の予熱方法及びその方法を実施するための予熱装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a method of preheating an aluminum molten metal ladle in which a molten metal of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy is temporarily stored, and a preheating apparatus for carrying out the method.

 純アルミニウム或いはアルミニウム合金(以下、これらをまとめて単に「アルミニウム」という。)鋳物の製造工程において、アルミニウム溶湯を受け取り鋳型に注入するために取鍋が用いられている。そして、かかる取鍋にアルミニウム溶湯を受け入れる際には、予め取鍋を加熱し、取鍋内部の温度とアルミニウム溶湯の温度との差が可能な限り小さくなるようにしている。こうすることで、アルミニウム溶湯の温度低下を防ぎ、得られるアルミニウム鋳物の性質を均一にすることができるからである。 A ladle is used to receive a molten aluminum metal and inject it into a mold in the production process of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy (hereinafter collectively referred to simply as "aluminum") castings. When the molten aluminum is received in the ladle, the ladle is heated in advance so that the difference between the temperature inside the ladle and the temperature of the molten aluminum becomes as small as possible. This is because the temperature drop of the molten aluminum can be prevented and the properties of the obtained aluminum casting can be made uniform.

 従来、上述のように取鍋を予熱する方法としては、取鍋の開口部にバーナーを備える取鍋蓋を被せて、そのバーナーから噴射される火炎(燃焼ガス)によって取鍋の内部を直火で加熱することが行なわれていた(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, as a method of preheating a ladle as described above, a ladle lid provided with a burner is placed on the opening of the ladle, and the inside of the ladle is directly heated by the flame (combustion gas) injected from the burner Heating has been carried out (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2012-250238号公報JP 2012-250238 A

 上記従来技術のように、取鍋内部をバーナーの火炎で直火加熱すれば、取鍋の内部を目的とする温度まで効率よく昇温させることができる。
 しかしながら、アルミニウム溶湯を取り扱う取鍋(すなわち、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋)の場合、当該取鍋の内部をバーナーの火炎で直火加熱すると、取鍋内部に残滴として残ったアルミニウム溶湯が凝固して形成された凝固物に対して、局所的に概ね1000℃近い熱が与えられるようになる。そうすると、その凝固物からα-Al23を中心とした非金属介在物が生成され、これが付着物となって取鍋の内面に付着・堆積するようになる。このため、バーナーによる直火加熱を繰り返すことによって、取鍋の内面に上記付着物が漸次堆積し、取鍋重量が漸増すると共に、取鍋内部の有効容積が減少するようになるという問題が有った。また、このような付着物が堆積することによって、取鍋の内部に貯留したアルミニウム溶湯中へ当該付着物の一部が脱落して混入するようになり、これ(=非金属介在物)が鋳造時におけるハードスポットなどの欠陥の原因になるという問題も有った。
As in the prior art, if the inside of the ladle is directly heated by the flame of the burner, the temperature inside the ladle can be efficiently raised to the target temperature.
However, in the case of a ladle that handles molten aluminum (ie, a molten aluminum ladle), when the inside of the ladle is directly heated by the flame of the burner, the molten aluminum remaining as a residual drop in the ladle solidifies. Heat is applied approximately locally to approximately 1000 ° C. for the formed coagulum. Then, non-metallic inclusions centering on α-Al 2 O 3 are generated from the coagulated matter, and this becomes an attached matter and adheres and deposits on the inner surface of the ladle. For this reason, there is a problem that the above-mentioned deposit gradually deposits on the inner surface of the ladle by repeating direct heating by the burner, and the ladle weight gradually increases and the effective volume inside the ladle decreases. It was In addition, due to the deposition of such deposits, a part of the deposits is dropped and mixed into the molten aluminum stored in the inside of the ladle, and this (= non-metallic inclusion) is cast There was also a problem of causing defects such as hard spots at times.

 それゆえに、本発明の主たる課題は、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の内部を効率よく予熱できるのに加え、かかる取鍋を繰り返し予熱して使用しても当該取鍋の有効容積の減少を最小限に抑えることができると共に、非金属介在物による溶湯の汚染も低減させることが可能な、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の予熱方法と該方法を用いた予熱装置とを提供することにある。 Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to efficiently preheat the inside of the aluminum melt ladle, and to minimize the reduction of the effective volume of the ladle even when the ladle is repeatedly preheated and used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for preheating an aluminum molten metal ladle, and a preheating apparatus using the method, which can suppress the contamination of the molten metal due to nonmetallic inclusions as well as suppressing it.

 上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、例えば、図1から図3に示すように、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の予熱方法を次のように構成した。
 アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の開口部16に取付けたバーナー24から噴射される火炎30で当該取鍋12の内部を予熱するアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の予熱方法において、上記の火炎30を耐熱性の金属薄板材からなる予熱管26で囲繞することを特徴とする。
 ここで、予熱管26を構成する金属薄板材の「耐熱性」とは、バーナー24から噴射される火炎30をその近傍で囲繞しても物質形状が変化しない程度の耐熱性をいう。
In order to solve the said subject, this invention comprised the preheating method of the ladle for molten aluminum as follows, for example, as shown to FIGS. 1-3.
In the method for preheating aluminum ladle 12 according to the present invention, the inside of the ladle 12 is preheated by a flame 30 injected from a burner 24 attached to the opening 16 of the aluminum ladle 12. It is characterized in that it is surrounded by a preheating pipe 26 made of a thin metal sheet material.
Here, the "heat resistance" of the thin metal sheet constituting the preheating tube 26 refers to the heat resistance to such an extent that the shape of the material does not change even when the flame 30 injected from the burner 24 is surrounded in the vicinity thereof.

 本発明は、例えば、同上の図1から図3に示すように、次のように作用する。
 すなわち、バーナー24から噴射される火炎30の周囲を予熱管26で囲繞しているので、取鍋12の内部が直火加熱ではなく予熱管26を介した間接加熱となる。このため、温度の立ち上がりが早いといったバーナー24による加熱の特性を保ちつつ、取鍋12の内面において局所的に概ね1000℃近い高温領域が形成されるのを防止することができる。その結果、取鍋12の内面に、α-Al23を中心とした非金属介在物が付着するのを最小限に抑えることができるようになる。
The present invention works as follows, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the same.
That is, since the flame 30 injected from the burner 24 is surrounded by the preheating pipe 26, the inside of the ladle 12 is not direct flame heating but indirect heating through the preheating pipe 26. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the local formation of a high temperature region near approximately 1000 ° C. locally on the inner surface of the ladle 12 while maintaining the characteristic of heating by the burner 24 that the temperature rise is quick. As a result, it is possible to minimize the adhesion of nonmetallic inclusions centering on α-Al 2 O 3 on the inner surface of the ladle 12.

 また、第2の発明にかかる予熱装置は、上述した方法を実施するための装置であって、例えば、図1及び図2で示すように、次のように構成したものである。
 すなわち、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の開口部16からその内部へ向けて火炎30を噴射するバーナー24と、耐熱性の金属薄板材からなり上記の火炎30を囲繞する予熱管26とを具備することを特徴とする。
A preheating apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention is an apparatus for carrying out the method described above, and is configured as follows, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
That is, the apparatus comprises a burner 24 for injecting a flame 30 from the opening 16 of the aluminum melt ladle 12 toward the inside thereof, and a preheating tube 26 made of heat-resistant thin metal sheet and surrounding the flame 30. It is characterized by

 本発明によれば、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の内部を効率よく予熱できるのに加え、かかる取鍋を繰り返し予熱して使用しても当該取鍋の有効容積の減少を最小限に抑えることができると共に、非金属介在物による溶湯の汚染も低減させることが可能な、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋の予熱方法と該方法を用いた予熱装置とを提供することができる。 According to the present invention, in addition to efficiently preheating the inside of the aluminum molten metal ladle, the reduction of the effective volume of the ladle can be minimized even if the ladle is repeatedly preheated and used. In addition, it is possible to provide a method for preheating an aluminum molten metal ladle and a preheating apparatus using the method, which can reduce the contamination of the molten metal due to nonmetallic inclusions.

 予熱管26は、バーナー24から噴射される火炎30の周囲を囲繞する有底円筒状の管体である。この予熱管26は、例えばJIS規格におけるSUS309SやSUS310Sといった耐熱鋼などのように、バーナー24から噴射される火炎30をその近傍で囲繞しても物質形状が変化しない程度の耐熱性を有する金属薄板材で構成されている。 The preheating tube 26 is a bottomed cylindrical tube surrounding the periphery of the flame 30 injected from the burner 24. The preheating tube 26 is a metal thin film having heat resistance such that the shape of the material does not change even if the flame 30 injected from the burner 24 is surrounded in its vicinity, such as heat resistant steel such as SUS309S or SUS310S in JIS standard. It is made of plate material.

 また、この予熱管26の底部には、キャスタブルなどの耐火材26aが敷設されており、その近傍の側周面には、1又は複数(図1及び2に示す例では2つ)の排気孔26bが穿設されている。
 ここで、排気孔26bをかかる位置に設けることにより、バーナー24で火炎30と共に排出される高温の燃焼排ガスがアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の本体14内へと供給される。そして、この燃焼排ガスは、本体14内部を循環した後、或いはダイレクトに流路14dを経由してアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の外部へと排出される。つまり、排気孔26bをかかる位置に設けることにより、火炎30が予熱管26を加熱することによって生じる輻射熱に加え、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の内部空間全体に行き渡る高温の燃焼排ガスも当該取鍋12の予熱に寄与する。その結果、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の内部全体を効率よく予熱することができるようになる。
Further, a refractory material 26a such as castable is laid at the bottom of the preheating pipe 26, and one or more (two in the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) exhaust holes are provided on the side circumferential surface in the vicinity thereof. 26b is drilled.
Here, by providing the exhaust hole 26 b at such a position, the high temperature combustion exhaust gas discharged together with the flame 30 by the burner 24 is supplied into the main body 14 of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12. Then, the combustion exhaust gas circulates inside the main body 14 or is directly discharged to the outside of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 through the flow path 14 d. That is, by providing the exhaust hole 26b at such a position, in addition to the radiant heat generated by the flame 30 heating the preheating tube 26, the high temperature combustion exhaust gas extending throughout the internal space of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 is also the ladle 12 Contribute to the preheating of As a result, the entire inside of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 can be efficiently preheated.

 そして、この予熱管26の上部外周には、下面にキャスタブルなどの耐火材32aが配設され、予熱装置10をアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12に装着した際に、図1で示すように、大蓋18の開孔18bを塞ぐ密閉蓋として機能する鍔部32が設けられている。 Then, a refractory material 32a such as castable is disposed on the lower surface on the upper outer periphery of the preheating tube 26, and when the preheating device 10 is mounted on the aluminum molten metal ladle 12, as shown in FIG. A collar 32 is provided which functions as a sealing lid for closing the 18 openings 18b.

 駆動機構28は、バーナー24及びこれに連結された予熱管26を上下駆動させるための機構であり、上記の鍔部32の上面に立設された左右一対のアーム34と、このアーム34の上端に架設された水平棹36と、この水平棹36の長手方向中央部に設けられ、ホイストなどの昇降装置のフック38が取付けられる吊り金具40と、上方より垂下された左右一対の垂下アーム42であって、上記水平棹36の長手方向両端部に穿設されたガイド孔(図示せず)に挿通され、水平棹36延いてはアーム34や鍔部32を介してこの水平棹36に連結された予熱管26やバーナー24の上下動を案内する垂下アーム42とで構成されている。 The drive mechanism 28 is a mechanism for driving the burner 24 and the preheating tube 26 connected thereto up and down, and a pair of left and right arms 34 erected on the upper surface of the above-mentioned flange portion 32 and the upper end of this arm 34 And a hanging bracket 40 provided at the longitudinal center of the horizontal ridge 36 and to which a hook 38 of a lifting device such as a hoist is attached, and a pair of hanging arms 42 hanging down from above It is inserted into guide holes (not shown) provided at both longitudinal ends of the horizontal ridge 36, and is connected to the horizontal ridge 36 through the arm 34 and the ridge portion 32. It comprises the preheating tube 26 and a hanging arm 42 for guiding the vertical movement of the burner 24.

 次に、以上のように構成された予熱装置10を用いて、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12を予熱した際の作用並びに効果について説明する。
 図3は、予熱管を用いずにバーナーのみでアルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の予熱を行なった場合(従来例)と、上記構成の予熱装置10を用いた場合(実施例)とにおける、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の使用回数(出荷回数)とその重量増加率との関係を示したグラフである。
 なお、上記の従来例及び実施例共に、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の重量増加は、その内部にα-Al23を中心とした非金属介在物が生成・付着した結果である。
Next, the operation and effect of preheating the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 using the preheating device 10 configured as described above will be described.
FIG. 3 shows molten aluminum in the case where the molten aluminum ladle 12 is preheated only by the burner without using the preheating pipe (conventional example) and when the preheating device 10 having the above configuration is used (example) It is the graph which showed the relationship between the frequency | count of use (the number of shipments) of the ladle 12 and the weight increase rate.
The increase in weight of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 is the result of the formation and adhesion of non-metallic inclusions centering on α-Al 2 O 3 in the above-described conventional example and examples.

 また、上記の従来例及び実施例共に、バーナーとして最大出力10万kcal/hのガスバーナーを用い、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の内部が700℃に達するまで予熱した。
 さらに、実施例の予熱管26として、板厚5mmのSUS310S(JIS)からなり、外径200mm、全長1,115mmであって、その底面内部に50mm厚のキャスタブルからなる耐火材26aが敷設されると共に、その側周面に前記耐火材26aの上端に接触する形でφ120mmの排気孔26bが一対設けられたものを使用した。
In both of the above-described conventional example and the example, a gas burner with a maximum output of 100,000 kcal / h was used as a burner, and preheating was performed until the inside of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 reached 700 ° C.
Furthermore, as the preheating pipe 26 of the embodiment, a fireproof material 26a made of SUS310S (JIS) with a thickness of 5 mm, having an outer diameter of 200 mm and a total length of 1,115 mm, and a castable of 50 mm thickness is laid inside its bottom. In addition, a pair of exhaust holes 26b with a diameter of 120 mm was used in contact with the upper end of the refractory material 26a on the side peripheral surface thereof.

 図3が示すように、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12をバーナーの火炎で直火加熱する従来例では、当該取鍋12の使用回数が500回を超えると、かかる取鍋12の重量が概ね25%以上増加するようになる。これに対し、予熱管26を用いる本実施例では、当該取鍋12の使用回数が600回を超えても、その重量増加率が10%を超えることはない。つまり、このことは、本発明の予熱方法及び予熱装置10を用いれば、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12の内面において局所的に概ね1000℃近い高温領域が形成されるのを防止することができ、その結果、当該取鍋12の内面に、α-Al23を中心とした非金属介在物が付着するのを最小限に抑えることができることを意味する。 As shown in FIG. 3, in the conventional example in which the aluminum melt ladle 12 is heated directly by the flame of the burner, the weight of the ladle 12 is approximately 25% when the number of times of use of the ladle 12 exceeds 500 times. It will increase more than that. On the other hand, in the present embodiment using the preheating pipe 26, even if the number of times of use of the ladle 12 exceeds 600 times, the weight increase rate does not exceed 10%. That is, this can prevent the local formation of a high temperature region near 1000 ° C. locally on the inner surface of the aluminum molten metal ladle 12 by using the preheating method and the preheating apparatus 10 of the present invention, As a result, it means that adhesion of non-metallic inclusions centering on α-Al 2 O 3 can be minimized to the inner surface of the ladle 12.

 以上のように、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12をバーナー24の火炎30で予熱する際に、その火炎30を予熱管26で囲繞する本発明の予熱方法及び予熱装置10によれば、アルミニウム溶湯用取鍋12を繰り返し予熱して使用しても当該取鍋12の有効容積の減少を最小限に抑えることができると共に、非金属介在物による溶湯の汚染も低減させることができる。 As described above, according to the preheating method and the preheating apparatus 10 of the present invention in which the flame 30 is surrounded by the preheating tube 26 when the aluminum melt ladle 12 is preheated by the flame 30 of the burner 24. Even if the pan 12 is repeatedly preheated and used, the reduction of the effective volume of the ladle 12 can be minimized, and the contamination of the molten metal due to nonmetallic inclusions can also be reduced.

 なお、上述の図示実施形態では、予熱管26の排気孔26bを予熱管26の下端側に設ける場合を示したが、この排気孔26bの位置はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば図示しないが、この排気孔を予熱管上部のバーナーに近接する位置に設けるようにしてもよい。この場合、排気孔から排出される高温の燃焼排ガスとバーナーに供給する燃焼用空気との間で熱交換させるようにしてもよい。 In the illustrated embodiment described above, the exhaust hole 26b of the preheating pipe 26 is provided on the lower end side of the preheating pipe 26. However, the position of the exhaust hole 26b is not limited to this. However, the exhaust hole may be provided at a position close to the burner at the top of the preheating tube. In this case, heat may be exchanged between the high temperature flue gas discharged from the exhaust port and the combustion air supplied to the burner.

 また、上述の図示実施形態では、予熱管26としてストレートな直管状のものを用いる場合を示したが、この予熱管26は、バーナー24の火炎30を囲繞する形状であれば如何なるものであってもよく、例えば、円管の途中に設けられた段部を介してその下側の外径及び内径が拡大或いは縮小するような形状のものであってもよい。 In the illustrated embodiment described above, a straight straight tube is used as the preheating tube 26. However, the preheating tube 26 may have any shape as long as it surrounds the flame 30 of the burner 24. For example, the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the lower side may be expanded or reduced via a step provided in the middle of the circular pipe.

 さらに、予熱装置10の駆動機構28として、左右一対のアーム34と、水平棹36と、昇降装置のフック38が取付けられる吊り金具40と、左右一対の垂下アーム42とで構成される場合を示したが、この駆動機構28は、バーナー24及びこれに連結された予熱管26を所定の動線に沿って上下駆動させることができるものであれば如何なる態様であってもよく、上記のものに限定されるものではない。 Furthermore, as the drive mechanism 28 of the preheating device 10, a case is shown in which the left and right arms 34, the horizontal hook 36, the hanging bracket 40 to which the hooks 38 of the lifting device are attached, and the pair of left and right hanging arms 42 However, the drive mechanism 28 may be in any form as long as it can drive the burner 24 and the preheating tube 26 connected thereto up and down along a predetermined flow line. It is not limited.
