In order to move molten steel from a steel
making furnace to a continuous casting unit, refractory-lined ladles are used
in steel mills. The aim of this study is to optimise the ladle cycle to
increase the service life of the liner. A deeper understanding of the lining
thermal conditions during the varying stages of the ladle cycle via a
mathematical simulation of the process will accomplish this optimization. To
predict the ladle lining and steel shell temperature during the full ladle
cycle, a 2D axisymmetric mathematical model was developed. The calculated steel
shell temperature of a freshly lined ladle during the drying and preheating
process was in good agreement with the literature and expectations of the
factory. The model's capacity to predict the lining temperature background
during the ladle cycle has been shown in this present work. This strength will
be used to increase the service life of the ladle lining and strengthen the
cycle procedure. To decrease the irregular lining temperature variance, this
study suggests making some improvements in the current ladle cycle procedure.
It is also recommended to upgrade the preheating burners for adequate
drying/preheating of the lining. This will then increase the service life of
the liner and reduce the rate of refractory consumption.
