What is Calorized Lance Pipe?
Calorized Lance Pipe, also known as an oxygen blowing lance, plays a crucial role in the steelmaking process by injecting oxygen, carbon, or other additives. To achieve high heat and oxidation resistance, these pipes undergo a calorizing process.
Technology for Making Calorized Lance Pipes
The manufacturing technology behind Calorized Lance Pipes is known as “Calorizing” or aluminum diffusion. This surface modification process diffuses aluminum into steel pipes, both internally and externally, protecting the base metal from severe oxidation and corrosion in high-temperature environments.
How is Calorized Lance Pipe Manufactured?
Using diffusion technology, mild steels are heated to 1,000°C, allowing aluminum to penetrate the material and create a durable aluminum-iron alloy (calorized layer) on both inner and outer surfaces. The product then undergoes a ceramic coating process to enhance heat and oxidation resistance.
Structure of Calorized Lance Pipes
Calorized Lance Pipes consist of:
Ceramic Coating (Inner Surface)
Calorized Layer (Inner Surface)
Mild Steel Core
Calorized Layer (Outer Surface)
Ceramic Coating (Outer Surface)
Applications of Calorized Lance Pipes
These pipes find extensive applications in the steel industry, serving purposes such as injecting/blowing gases in electric arc furnaces, increasing oxygen supply in incinerators, cleaning slags in oxygen converters, opening tapholes, reducing carbon content in induction furnaces, and protecting thermocouples in measuring molten metal temperatures.
Types and Sizes of Calorized Lance Pipes
There are six types of Calorized Lance Pipes, each catering to specific needs. Common sizes include various diameters and lengths, with the option for custom lengths and OD based on customer requirements.
Connection Methods for Calorized Lance Pipes
To optimize costs and materials, three connection methods are available: thread & socket, welding, and threadless using the Press Machine.
