The invention belongs to the field of
metallurgy, and relates to a cast steel riser covering agent as well as a preparation and using method thereof. The cast steel riser covering agent comprises thefollowing components of, with the total
mass units being 100 parts, 15-40 parts of
aluminum electrolysis waste
cathode carbon block, 10-35 parts of
dolomite, 10-25 parts of
vermiculite, and 20-40 parts of
aluminum electrolysis waste
silicon carbide-
silicon nitride bricks. During preparing, firstly, crushing and
grinding the dried raw materials, wherein the particle size is not more than 2 mm; weighing the raw materials according to the composition quality of the raw materials, uniformly stirring, and
drying to obtain the cast steel riser covering agent. During using, a steel
ladle is added into the cast steel riser covering agent to form a
slag layer, so that the thickness of the
slag layer is 6-8 cm, the liquid surface of the steel
ladle does not leak red, and the
slag layer is not crusted. By using the cast steel riser covering agent, the heat loss at the top of the riser can be solved, the solidification speed of
molten steel in the riser can be prolonged, the feeding capacity of the
molten steel in the riser is improved, the process yield of the
casting is guaranteed, the height of the riser is reduced, the
molten steel is saved, and finally the cost is reduced.
