  • Patent number: 10935320
    Abstract: Method for determining the state of a fire-resistant lining of a vessel containing molten metal in particular in which maintenance data, production data, and wall thicknesses at least at locations with the highest degree of wear are measured or ascertained together with additional process parameters of at least one identical/similar vessel after the vessel has been used. The data is collected and stored in a data structure. A calculating model is generated from at least some of the measured or ascertained data or parameters, and the data or parameters are evaluated using the calculating model using calculations and subsequent analyses. Thus, related or integral ascertaining processes and subsequent analyses can be carried out, on the basis of which optimizations relating to both the vessel lining as well as the complete process of the molten metal in the vessel are achieved.

  • Patent number: 10837704
    Abstract: A method for repairing a refractory lining of a metallurgical vessel in the hot state. This repair takes place using a supplying apparatus. In addition, recording of at least the worn regions and monitoring of the repair are carried out by a monitoring device. Before, during and/or after the supplying of material, at least a partial region of the areas of the refractory lining of the vessel or the gunning jet is recorded photographically with visualization of the temperature ranges. This results in an evaluation with regard to different parameters such as properties, layer thickness and/or distribution of the supplied material. It has been demonstrated that visualization of the temperature ranges of the areas to be repaired and of the refractory material during supplying of material enables different parameters to be established very accurately, and as a result, optimal coating of the wall lining can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20180209739
    Abstract: A method relates in particular to the repair of a refractory lining of a metallurgical vessel (10) in the hot state. This repair takes place here by means of an supplying apparatus (15). In addition, recording of at least the worn regions and monitoring of the repair are carried out by means of a device (20). Before, during and/or after the supplying of at least a partial region of the areas (13) of the refractory lining (12) of the vessel (10) to be repaired or the gunning jet (18) is recorded photographically here with visualisation of the temperature ranges (26, 27, 28), and this results in an evaluation with regard to different parameters such as properties, layer thickness and/or distribution of the supplied material. It has been demonstrated that by means of this visualisation of the temperature ranges of the areas to be repaired and of the refractory material during supplying different parameters can be established very accurately, and as a result optimal coating of the wall lining can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160298907
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the state of the tap of a vessel (10) containing molten metal in particular. In the process, data of the fire-resistant lining of the tap (20), such as materials, wall thickness, type of installation, etc., is detected or measured and evaluated. Said data is then collected and stored in a data structure. A calculation model is generated from the data structure on the basis of at least some of the measured or ascertained data or parameters, and said data or parameters are evaluated by means of the calculation model using calculations and subsequent analyses. Thus, in addition to measurements, related or integral ascertaining processes and subsequent analyses can also be carried out for a metallurgical vessel in order to ascertain the current state of the fire-resistant lining of the tap of the vessel after the vessel has been used.
