In the blast furnace production process, the taphole is the key part of the molten iron flowing out of the furnace, and its operating status directly affects the smooth operation and production efficiency of the blast furnace. Therefore, the maintenance of the blast furnace taphole is very important. However, in the actual maintenance process, some problems are often encountered. If these problems are not solved in time, they may lead to obstruction of blast furnace production and even cause safety accidents. The following is a detailed analysis of common problems in blast furnace taphole maintenance:
Taphole blockage problem: Taphole blockage is one of the most common problems in blast furnace taphole maintenance. This is mainly due to the accumulation of impurities such as slag and coke at the taphole, which leads to obstruction of molten iron outflow. The key to solving the taphole blockage problem is to clean the taphole regularly to ensure smooth molten iron. At the same time, the accumulation of slag at the taphole can be reduced by optimizing the slag treatment process.
Taphole wears too fast: Due to the high temperature scouring of molten iron and the erosion of slag, the taphole is prone to wear. The taphole that wears too fast not only affects the outflow speed of molten iron, but also may cause the taphole to deform, thereby affecting the normal operation of the blast furnace. In order to slow down the wear rate of the iron mouth, it is necessary to use materials with good wear resistance to make the iron mouth, and regularly inspect and replace the iron mouth.
Improper control of the iron mouth temperature: The temperature of the blast furnace iron mouth is of great significance to the outflow of molten iron and the stability of the furnace condition. If the iron mouth temperature is too high, it is easy to cause the iron mouth to burn; if the temperature is too low, it may affect the fluidity of the molten iron. Therefore, during the maintenance process, it is necessary to pay close attention to the changes in the iron mouth temperature, and adjust the cooling water flow and temperature according to the actual situation to ensure that the iron mouth temperature is controlled within the appropriate range.
In summary, common problems in the maintenance of blast furnace iron mouths include iron mouth blockage, excessive wear, and improper temperature control. In response to these problems, corresponding measures need to be taken to prevent and solve them to ensure the smooth progress of blast furnace production.
