Electromagnetic energy cast tube casting equipment
Technical Field
The invention relates to casting equipment for a cast pipe in electromagnetic energy.
Background
At present, the preparation level of the die-cast steel ingots in China is not in a standstill, so that some of the die-cast steel ingots are widely applied, and high-end die steel, seamless steel pipes, blade steel and the like with high alloy content prepared from the die-cast steel ingots are imported for a long time. For example, in a large ingot of high alloy steel such as P92, columnar crystals and dendrites are formed inside the ingot due to different cooling rates of various parts when the ingot is solidified, and defects such as segregation and shrinkage cavities (porosity) are generated, which greatly affects the quality of subsequent products. Electromagnetic techniques that have been used in ingot casting include electromagnetic stirring techniques, pulsed magnetic oscillation grain refinement techniques, and electromagnetic energy grain refinement techniques. The electromagnetic stirring technology can improve the metal solidification structure and improve the product quality, is applied to continuous casting steel, but has strict requirements on the continuous casting process and higher energy consumption; the pulse magnetic oscillation grain refining technology improves the quality of an upper cast ingot and is low in energy consumption, but the technology only acts on a riser, has little influence on the lower part of the cast ingot and is not suitable for field equipment; at present, the electromagnetic energy grain refining technology has achieved good refining effect on high alloy steel such as aluminum alloy, high manganese steel and the like.
At present, the traditional casting pipe is adopted for diversion casting, the formed cast ingot has large internal crystal grains, the irreversible defects of segregation, cracks, shrinkage cavities (looseness) and the like are generated, the product quality is not over-critical, and huge economic loss is caused.
High alloy steels required by enterprises, such as P91 and P92, contain a large amount of alloy elements such as Al, Ti, Nb and Mo which are easy to segregate, and the segregation of the alloy elements is more serious along with the enlargement of ingot shapes. The high temperature alloy plays an important role in aerospace industry as a high temperature alloy with excellent performance, but further application thereof is limited due to element segregation in the alloy. Therefore, the elimination of elemental segregation has become a critical issue in the production of superalloys.

Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, an electromagnetic energy medium cast pipe casting device includes a ladle 1, a first common medium cast pipe 6, an electromagnetic medium cast pipe 4, and an ingot mold 8, where the ladle 1 is connected to a riser 2 at an upper end of the first common medium cast pipe 6 through a valve 5, the first common medium cast pipe 6 is connected to the electromagnetic medium cast pipe 3, and the electromagnetic medium cast pipe 3 is connected to the ingot mold 8 through a second common medium cast pipe 4, where the electromagnetic medium cast pipe 3 includes a pipe body, and an electromagnetic coil 7 is sleeved on an outer circumferential side of the pipe body.
The pipe body comprises a stainless steel pipe 301 and a heat insulation material 302 arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the stainless steel pipe 301. The stainless steel pipe 301 is made of 316 austenitic stainless steel. The wall thickness of the stainless steel pipe 301 is 10 mm. The heat insulation material 302 is a high temperature resistant heat insulation material (including sand, refractory bricks and the like) commonly used for molten steel pouring. The thickness of the insulating material 302 is 45 mm. The length of the electromagnetic middle casting tube 2 acted by the magnetic field is 1.5 meters. The electromagnetic coil 7 is made of red copper, the diameter of the cross section of the electromagnetic coil 7 is 7 mm, and the electromagnetic coil 7 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the pipe body. The inner diameter of the electromagnetic coil 7 is 310 mm, and the number of coil turns is 856 turns.
In this embodiment, the first common intermediate casting pipe 6 and the electromagnetic intermediate casting pipe 3 are the same pipe, and the electromagnetic intermediate casting pipe 3 is formed by winding a certain length of electromagnetic coil 7 around the first common intermediate casting pipe 6.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the core of the present invention is the design of the electromagnetic coil casting tube, i.e. the electromagnetic coil 7 in the figure, the length of which is L4-1500 mm. The coil is tightly sleeved outside the middle casting tube, and the number of turns of the coil is 856. The sizes of the rest parts are respectively as follows: l1-200 mm, L2-45 mm, L3-2990 mm, L5-100 mm, L6-1710 mm, L7-606.8 mm, L8-2480 mm, L9-1200 mm.
And opening the valve, and allowing the molten steel in the ladle to flow into the common middle casting pipe through the valve and flow into the electromagnetic middle casting pipe through the common middle casting pipe.

A computer simulation technology is adopted to analyze the penetration characteristics of an electromagnetic field, and a proper electromagnetic energy device is designed to ensure that the magnetic field intensity in the metal liquid is not lower than 500Gs, so that the grain refinement is realized. Fig. 4 to 7 are simulation results according to characteristics of steel. It is stated that penetration of the magnetic field can be achieved. The device designed by the invention can be deeply inserted into the liquid surface by 100mm, can ensure that molten metal fully forms nuclei, and realizes grain refinement.
According to the research, as long as the magnetic field in the middle casting pipe reaches 10mT, the effective action of electromagnetic energy on the metal liquid can be realized when the action time of the magnetic field is not less than 15s, and the electromagnetic energy is realized to promote nucleation and realize grain refinement. Through the design, calculation and analysis, the distribution of the magnetic field in the metal liquid is more uniform, the effective action volume is larger, the requirement of the cast tube in high-efficiency electromagnetic energy can be completely met, and the efficiency is higher in consideration of the magnetic field and the action time.
Taking ZG ingot as an example, after the electromagnetic energy grain refining technology, the grain size refining rate can reach 20-35%, the looseness and segregation are improved, the component uniformity is improved, the central shrinkage cavity (crack) of the ingot is basically eliminated, the columnar crystal in an action area is basically eliminated, and the isometric crystal proportion is improved.
In addition, the rejection rate can be reduced by utilizing a pouring system of the electromagnetic energy casting technology of the high-quality high-alloy steel large ingot. When the technology is not added originally, the rejection rate is extremely high, and investigation shows that once one grade of steel is rejected, four furnaces of molten steel are wasted, about 80 tons of molten steel cannot reach the enterprise standard, about 2 ten thousand yuan is obtained in one ton of steel in the market, namely 160 ten thousand yuan is lost in enterprises. Reducing the rejection rate reduces enterprise losses.
