A method of casting steel at a lower overheated temperature during continuous casting, wherein the inner surface of a tundish is heated to a temperature which approximately corresponds to the temperature of the steel in a ladle, the tundish is filled with steel, and the steel is poured into at least one mold. According to the invention a discharge spout of the tundish which opens above the reference level of the metal bath, prior to casting and during heating of the tundish is brought into a position which occupies the lowest point of the inner surface of the tundish, the heating of the tundish is continued until adjusting an approximately stationary thermal gradient between the inner and the outer surfaces of the tundish, and prior to pouring of the steel into the mold the tundish is brought into its casting position.The tundish for the pouring of steel during continuous casting comprises a substantially troughlike lower portion and a domed cover member, at least one bottom nozzle provided for the tundish lower portion, said cover member being provided with an opening for the pouring in of the steel melt from a ladle, and a heating device is arranged above the reference bath level of the tundish. The tundish has a lining possessing a heat conductivity resistance of at least 0.25 m.sup.2.h. .degree.C/Kcal, and is further provided with a discharge spout partially possessing a substantially tubular-shaped cross-section and opening above the reference level of the metal bath. There is also provided means for displacing the tundish about a horizontal axis.

An improvement in the refining of molten metals in a converter by means of oxygen introduced into the metal through tuyeres which include two concentric pipes, oxygen being passed into the melt through the central pipe and a protective fluid being passed into the melt as a sheath or screen around the oxygen, through the clearance space between the two pipes. In the present invention two tuyeres, disposed horizontally and each passing through the convertor sidewall permit refining to be accomplished without any slopping or splashing of the melt and with only minor wear of the convertor lining.

An increase in the life of basic refractory linings in hearth type refining furnaces and a decrease in tap-to-tap time is achieved by the use of at least one refining tuyere which consists of two concentric pipes. The central pipe feeds oxygen into the melt below the bath surface, and a hydrocarbon stream surrounds the oxygen being fed into the bath, the hydrocarbon flowing in the space between the two pipes. Preferably the tuyere is embedded in the furnace backwall and is approximately horizontal and is directed toward the center of the hearth. By use of the double tuyere, oxygen can be used for refining without experiencing excessive refractory wear.
摘要:
A method for the melt reduction of iron ores, in which iron oxide in the liquid state is substantially reduced and the energy required for the heat balance of the process is generated by adding carbonaceous fuels to the melt and by afterburning the resulting reaction gases, mainly CO and H.sub.2. The reaction gases are afterburned successively two or more times in oxygen-containing gas jets that blow into reaction spaces which are effectively independent of each other.

A method of manufacturing hot metal from iron oxide in a shaft furnace by means of reduction with CO and H.sub.2 is described in the case of which iron oxide and coke are placed in the shaft furnace. For the purpose of the coke combustion, oxygen or a gas containing oxygen is introduced together with a reduction gas having a temperature ranging from approximately 1300.degree. to 1500.degree. C., comprising for the most part CO and H.sub.2 and introduced from the hot metal zone of fusion into the furnace shaft. The flue gas of the shaft furnace is purified at least partly, whereby a backflow gas comprising for the most part CO and H.sub.2 is formed and introduced back into the shaft furnace. This method is characterized by the fact that it is especially economical.

This application describes a process and apparatus for gasifying sulphur bearing coal in a molten iron bath which is covered with a sulphur absorbing slag. In order to make the process practical, the hot liquid slag is transferred to a second vessel in which it is desulfurized by contact with an oxygen containing gas, and then returned as hot liquid slag to the iron bath for reuse.

Pig-iron is refined into steel by blowing oxygen and a protective screen of an encasing gas through injecting means located at or near the bottom of a converter containing a melt of molten metal. The encasing gas while protecting the injecting means, allows it to be consumed at substantially the same rate as the bottom of the converter so that the injecting means is not left projecting from the bottom of the converter. The encasing gas can be one which is inert to the melt or the metal of the injecting means or both, or it can be a gas which reacts sluggishly with the melt or the material of the oxygen feed pipe or both. Desirably, the oxygen jet is circular in cross-section and the encasing gas is in the form of a concentric jet.A converter for carrying out the method is made up of a pear-shaped sheet-steel casing having a refractory lining and an inserted bottom provided with nozzles in the form of metal tubes for the oxygen and encasing gas. Preferably, a substantial portion (for example about half) of the converter bottom is free of nozzles. The nozzles can be arranged in groups and there can be rows running parallel with the tilting axis of the converter. The nozzles may also be arranged to cause circulation of the molten metal in the converter. The nozzles can be constructed to provide for swirling movement of the encasing gas. Examples of encasing gas which may be used are hydrogen, nitrogen, noble-gases, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen-fluoride, furnace-mouth gas, coke-oven gas, natural gas and other gases containing hydrocarbons.

The invention relates to a device for measuring a mass flow, comprising a measuring wheel (3) that is supported by a shaft (4) and that is driven and impinged axially by the mass flow. Said wheel deflects the flow, giving it both radial and tangential speed components. The shaft bears an actuation spur wheel (7), which engages with an intermediate spur wheel (8) that is held in position by a force measuring device (14) and has a second meshing with a drive spur wheel (9) that is driven by a drive motor (13). The diameter of the actuation spur wheel (7) is more than 0.3 fold, preferably 0.5 to 1 of the diameter of the measuring wheel (3). This provides a device for measuring a mass flow, which has a high zero constant and thus a high degree of measuring precision, is cost-effective to produce, robust during operation and which has none of the disadvantages of prior art.
