Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine stromleitende Elektrode für metallurgische Oefen mit einer verzehrbaren Elektrodenspitze und einem flüssigkeitsführenden Kühlsystem, sowie ein Verfahren zum Beschichten der Elektrode.The invention relates to a current-conducting electrode for metallurgical furnaces with an edible electrode tip and a liquid-carrying cooling system, and to a method for coating the electrode.

In der EP-Patentanmeldung Nr. 82109375.4 ist eine Graphit-oder Kohleelektrode für metallurgische Oefen beschrieben, die durch ein inneres Kühlsystem unter die Abbrandtemperatur des Graphits gekühlt wird. Beim Einsatz dieser Elektrode hat es sich in Abhängigkeit vom Kühlsystem gezeigt, insbesondere wenn es aus längslaufenden Kupferrohren besteht, dass ein Teil oder der gesamte elektrische Strom über die Kupferrohre geleitet werden kann. Der Strom fliesst dann von den Elektrodenkontaktbacken über den Graphit auf das Kühlsystem aus Kupferrohren. Der Stromfluss im Graphit wird dadurch positiv beeinflusst, dass bei der Einsatztemperatur der Elektrode von etwa 600°C der elektrische Widerstand ein Minimum erreicht.EP patent application No. 82109375.4 describes a graphite or carbon electrode for metallurgical furnaces, which is cooled below the burn-off temperature of the graphite by an internal cooling system. When using this electrode, it has been shown, depending on the cooling system, especially if it consists of longitudinal copper tubes, that part or all of the electrical current can be conducted via the copper tubes. The current then flows from the electrode contact jaws via the graphite to the cooling system made of copper pipes. The current flow in the graphite is positively influenced by the fact that the electrical resistance reaches a minimum at the operating temperature of the electrode of around 600 ° C.

Das wasserführende Kühlsystem der Elektrode dient zudem in Verbindung mit den Endflanschen als Spannsystem, so dass der Graphitkörper auch aus mehreren Stücken zusammengestellt werden kann.The water-conducting cooling system of the electrode also serves as a clamping system in connection with the end flanges, so that the graphite body can also be assembled from several pieces.

In Abhängigkeit von der Ofenfahrweise, beispielsweise wenn mit einer Schaumschlacke gearbeitet wird, kann es vorkommen, dass Spritzer der heissen aggresiven Schlacke auf den unteren Teil der gekühlten Graphitelektrode geschleudert werden, ähnlich dem Vorgang, der in Verbindung mit wassergekühlten Wänden "Selfcoating" genannt wird. Das kann am unteren Teil der Elektrode zu einer gewissen Erosion durch chemische Reaktionen führen.Depending on the way the furnace is operated, for example when working with a foam slag, it can happen that splashes of the hot aggressive slag are thrown onto the lower part of the cooled graphite electrode, similar to the process that is called "self-coating" in connection with water-cooled walls. This can lead to some erosion from chemical reactions on the lower part of the electrode.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, eine Elektrode der eingangs beschriebenen Art so auszugestalten, dass diese Erosion durch einfache Mittel vermieden und dadurch die Haltbarkeit der Elektrode verbessert werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird gemäss der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass zur Vermeidung von chemischer Erosion in ihrem untern Bereich der Graphit durch mindestens einen keramischen Formstein ersetzt ist.The object of the present invention is to design an electrode of the type described in the introduction in such a way that this erosion can be avoided by simple means and the durability of the electrode can thereby be improved. This object is achieved according to the invention in that, in order to avoid chemical erosion in its lower region, the graphite is replaced by at least one ceramic molded stone.

Da es möglich ist, den Stromfluss über das Kühlsytem aus Kupfer zu leiten, kann in vorteilhafter Weise im unteren Teil der gekühlten Elektrode der Graphit durch einen keramischen Formstein ersetzt werden, der eine gute Wärmeleitfähigkeit hat und resistent gegen aggresive Schlacken ist. Hier haben sich beispielsweise kohlenstoffhaltige A1203- oder Mg0-Steine bewährt. Anstelle eines einzigen Formsteins können zwei oder mehr Formsteine eingesetzt werden. Zweckmässig können der Formstein und die Formsteine armiert sein, wobei als Armierung z.B. Stahlwolle verwendet werden kann.Since it is possible to conduct the current flow over the cooling system made of copper, the graphite in the lower part of the cooled electrode can advantageously be replaced by a ceramic molded block which has good thermal conductivity and is resistant to aggressive slags. Here, for example, carbon-containing A1 2 0 3 or Mg0 stones have proven successful. Instead of a single shaped stone, two or more shaped stones can be used. The shaped block and the shaped blocks can expediently be reinforced, for example steel wool can be used as the reinforcement.

In der Figur ist eine wassergekühlte Graphitelektrode 1 mit keramischem Unterteil 2 dargestellt. Die Gesamtlänge der Elektrode beträgt beispielsweise etwa 4000 mm bei einem Durchmesser von 500 mm. Die Höhe des keramischen Teils ist etwa 800 mm und so bemessen, dass beim Nachsetzen die Kontaktbacken (nicht dargestellt) der Elektrodenhalterung 3 immer mit Graphit in Verbindung stehen.In the figure, a water-cooled graphite electrode 1 with a ceramic lower part 2 is shown. The total length of the electrode is, for example, approximately 4000 mm with a diameter of 500 mm. The level of the ceramic Part is about 800 mm and dimensioned so that the contact jaws (not shown) of the electrode holder 3 are always in contact with graphite when repositioning.

Die Kupferrohre mit Kühlwasserzulauf und -ablauf sind mit 4 bezeichnet. In diesem Beispiel sind zwei Graphitschüsse 5 mit einem Graphitnippel 6 verbunden. Im oberen Graphitschuss ist die Schachtel 7 erhalten, so dass der gesamte Graphitteil 5 nach Ausbau aus der Elektrode noch als verzehrbare Spitze an den wassergekühlten Kupfernippel 8 angenippelt werden kann. Der untere Flansch 9 besteht aus Kupfer und ist ebenfalls gekühlt. Der obere Flansch 10 ist beispielsweise aus austenitischem Stahl. Er steht etwas über den Graphit 5 vor, um aus Sicherheitsgründen ein Durchrutschen der Elektrode 1 durch die Halterung 3 zu vermeiden. Die Länge der Elektrode ist ebenfalls aus Sicherheitsgründen so bemessen, dass, wenn sie in der untersten Position des Elektrodenhalters 3 durchrutschen würde, der wassergekühlte Nippel 8 nicht in das flüssige Bad eintauchen kann.The copper pipes with cooling water inlet and outlet are designated 4. In this example, two graphite sections 5 are connected to a graphite nipple 6. The box 7 is preserved in the upper graphite weft, so that the entire graphite part 5 can still be nippled as a consumable tip on the water-cooled copper nipple 8 after removal from the electrode. The lower flange 9 is made of copper and is also cooled. The upper flange 10 is made of austenitic steel, for example. It protrudes slightly above the graphite 5 in order to prevent the electrode 1 from slipping through the holder 3 for safety reasons. For safety reasons, the length of the electrode is also such that if it slipped in the lowest position of the electrode holder 3, the water-cooled nipple 8 could not be immersed in the liquid bath.

Die Flanschen 9 und 10 dienen in Verbindung mit den Kühlrohren 4 und den Muttern 11 als Spanneinheit für die Graphitstücke 5 und den keramischen Teil 2, Diese Verspannung wäre auch anders lösbar als dargestellt. Ebenso ist es möglich, eine zusätzliche Spannstange oder Spannrohr 12 aus einem Material mit höherer Festigkeit als Kupfer in das System einzufügen. Wenn es ein Rohr ist, kann es zudem zur Zugabe von Gasen oder Feststoffen in der Nähe des Lichtbogens 13 benutzt werden. In diesem Fall sind auch der untere Kupferflansch 9 mit Kupfernippel 8 sowie die verzehrbare Graphitspitze 14 zu durchbohren 15.The flanges 9 and 10 serve in connection with the cooling tubes 4 and the nuts 11 as a clamping unit for the graphite pieces 5 and the ceramic part 2. This bracing would also be releasable differently than shown. It is also possible to insert an additional tension rod or tension tube 12 made of a material with a higher strength than copper into the system. If it is a tube, it can also be used to add gases or solids in the vicinity of the arc 13. In this case, the lower copper flange 9 with copper nipple 8 and the consumable graphite tip 14 must also be drilled through 15.

Der untere Kupferflansch 9 ist in dieser Darstellung aussen mit einer Aussparung 16 versehen, die mit elektrisch isolierenden Massen (im gezeigten Beispiel mit einer Asbestschnur 17) ausgefüllt ist. Dadurch wird die Bildung von Lichtbögen, die den Flansch zerstören könnten, vermieden.In this illustration, the lower copper flange 9 is provided on the outside with a recess 16 which is filled with electrically insulating materials (in the example shown with an asbestos cord 17). This avoids arcing that could destroy the flange.
