110 Questions About Metal Heat Treatment (Part 5)

81.What is the cause of outlet flap failure?

The outlet flap connecting shaft deforms and falls off, so the steel pipe on the diagonal arm cannot be sent to the front roller table of the furnace.

The operation panel exit flip plate lifting and lowering with light button lights are not on, indicating the proximity switch fault, to find a spot inspection and repair.

If the signals of two material level sensors on the front roller of the return furnace fail, the steel tube cannot be sent to the return furnace. In addition, the continuous turning of the exit flap will occur, resulting in the accumulation of more than two steel pipes on the hearth before the furnace.

82.What causes the failure of the hydraulic station?

High oil temperature and low oil temperature; Low oil level and lack of oil; Filter pollution and other phenomena, will cause hydraulic station failure.

83. What causes the failure of the oil pump?

Lack of oil, low-pressure phenomenon, will cause the fault of the dry pump, it is necessary to add dry oil in time.

84. What are the consequences of inverter failure?

Wheaton lever motor and quenching rotary bench which will cause no low and high-speed rotation switch of feeding device.

85. What causes water treatment failure?

The imbalance of internal and external injection water quantity and return water quantity will result in the failure of automatic quenching. The energy department should be informed to adjust the balance of inlet and return water quantity in time.

86. What is the fault of high-pressure water descaling?

The water spray ring is damaged and the circulation pipe is blocked with sundries.

If the above equipment fault is found, it should be reported to the site for inspection and maintenance in time.

What are the common faults of the heat treatment furnace?

The burner is mainly extinguished, the burner cannot be ignited, the current, gas, airflow is insufficient, the burner cannot be reset after extinguished, the hydraulic pump automatically shuts off, etc.

87. How to solve the burner extinguish?

Manually reset burner. Turn off the gas hand valve before the burner and open the air hand valve to blow and sweep for 15 minutes before ignition. If the burner cannot be lit at one time, close the gas hand valve immediately in front of the burner and clean the furnace with air for at least 15 minutes before lighting.

88. How to solve the problem that the burner cannot ignite?

1. Check whether the ignition device fails.

2. Check whether the pressure of fire, air, and natural gas is normal.

3. Find electrical and instrumentation workers.

89. How to deal with insufficient current, gas, and airflow?

1. When the current is interrupted, the gas pressure is insufficient, and the air pressure is insufficient, the safety rotating slide valve will automatically close, cut off the gas supply from the main valve, and prevent the gas from continuing to enter the furnace to avoid danger.

2. The fault signal lamp and alarm will start automatically, and the operator should deal with it as soon as possible.

3. If the current of the furnace is interrupted, the emergency power should be supplied immediately to keep the recirculation fan running.

4. Immediately close the gas hand valve in front of the burner.

5. Set the gas pressure controller, combustion air controller, temperature controller, and proportional controller to the “manual” position.

6. Manually controlled full open furnace pressure control valve.

7. After handling the fault, restart the operation according to the ignition procedure.

90. How to solve the problem of unable to reset the burner after it goes out?

When it is confirmed that the burner cannot ignite, the reason may be that there is too much dust in the flame observer to observe the flame. The solenoid valve will automatically cut off and the burner will go out. At this time, just wipe off the dust on the flame observer in front of the burner and start a fire once.

91. How to solve the problem after the hydraulic pump shuts off automatically?

When walking beam or water quenching device, the action is controlled by hydraulic equipment such as flap we can open the furnace temperature control on the hydraulic picture, see if hydraulic automatic shutdown, whether the liquid level in a low level, if this is the case, you need to find the corresponding hydraulic pump hydraulic station of furnace bottom and the top-level ruler, liquid level feet above has the scale and the highest level, the lowest level of the limit switch, when the liquid level is not the lowest and highest level between the hydraulic pump will automatically shut down, if discover the level is too low to the lowest level limit switches to put down a, as long as no less than the minimum requirements of hydraulic pump work can be.

92. What should I pay attention to when controlling temperature?

1. Furnace temperature should be controlled accurately. If the temperature jump is large you need to control the gas flow at a certain value, hit the manual.

2. Pay attention to the temperature trend when empty of the furnace. Because no matter how high the temperature rises after the manual operation, the gas will only keep the set flow rate unchanged, which will lead to a sharp rise in temperature.

3. When the temperature is controlled, the gas will be played to manually adjust the amount of gas when the air will move, in turn, to adjust the flow of air, the gas flow will fluctuate. The only way to fix the gas flow rate is to manually pump the gas.

4. The computer screen shows the pressure control of the gas pipeline. If the button cannot be turned off, it will not be changed in any place.

5. When the temperature is controlled, if the gas is turned on to the maximum but still cannot increase the furnace temperature, then the gas pressure should be increased to increase the gas flow to reach the required value.

6. The furnace temperature curve is large to the range of waves. What we need to do is to control the lowest and highest values of this curve within the allowable temperature deviation.

7. When the furnace is closed, the temperature control screen should be manually played before any other operation.

8. Each thermocouple has two pieces of AB. The temperature shown on the screen is the average temperature of the two thermocouples when there are two

A thermocouple temperature difference of 3 degrees will alarm. If one thermocouple is broken you can switch to the other and report it for repair.

93. What is the function of the hot air release valve?

One of the functions of the hot air release valve of the quenching furnace is to play the role of an anti-surge valve to prevent air surge injury and combustion fans.

Another role is to reduce the furnace temperature, in the empty furnace can open the hot air release valve. Dissipating hot air to maintain the furnace temperature without temperature fluctuations caused by an empty furnace. The return furnace pressure valve and furnace pressure valve, respectively in the heating section and the soaking section, can adjust the pressure of the furnace to adjust the temperature.

In order to protect the heat exchanger from burning out due to high temperature, the flue gas is equipped with thermocouple temperature measurement, the temperature exceeds 800℃, and its regulator output is used to control the opening of the outlet valve of the diluent fan. If the temperature rises too high, the opening will increase, adding more cold air to protect the heat exchanger. Temperature below 800℃, due to the large fan capacity, according to experience output a fixed opening to prevent surge.

94. What is the function of the air preheater on the quenching furnace?

1. In front of the air preheater, the flue is provided with an air inlet pipe and a cut-off valve. When the flue gas exceeds 850 ℃ (adjustable), the regulating valve will be opened automatically, and the cold air will be absorbed and released by chimney suction to reduce the flue gas temperature.

2. The hot air pipe behind the air preheater is equipped with an automatic hot air release valve. When the air temperature exceeds 500 ℃ (adjustable), the release valve will be opened automatically to reduce the air temperature.

95.How to control the furnace temperature in the production process?

In the normal production process, the furnace temperature is constantly changing, because there are many factors that affect the temperature of the furnace. For example, the action of the stepping beam, the rise, and fall of the stepping beam will change the pressure in the furnace, thus changing the temperature of the furnace. The quenching furnace USES the opening of the flue gate to adjust the furnace pressure, and the return furnace USES two furnace pressure regulating valves to control the furnace pressure.

There is also the bottom water seal groove, if the water inlet pipe stops feeding, the water temperature in the water seal groove will continue to rise, the water temperature is too high, the water will evaporate, thus affecting the temperature in the furnace and the quality of steel pipe.

Quenchback furnace each section USES two thermocouples to measure temperature, choose one as the output signal, and the role of another thermocouple has two points: 1, for the other thermocouple damaged after preparation.2.When the temperature difference between the two thermocouples is 3 degrees, the furnace temperature control screen will automatically alarm.

96. How to control the furnace temperature while stewing?

If the furnace time is less than 30 minutes, the furnace temperature should be lowered by 10 degrees Celsius. After the end of the furnace, the correction team should be informed to sample the pipe materials in a separate group. When the time is more than 30 minutes, the furnace temperature should be lowered by 20 degrees and the production should be reorganized.

Quench furnace closing time less than 15 minutes do not do abnormal treatment, more than 15 minutes can be directly out of the furnace pipe to the no. 2 cold bed, such as troubleshooting after the pipe on the cold bed will be collected on the quenching furnace feeding bench to deal with again. Because of the longer duration of the boring furnace, furnace tubes heat absorption ability is more and more small, the furnace temperature will rise obviously, at this time in advance to furnace temperature down, don’t wait to furnace temperature rise up again, want to go down is not easy, and we can reduce the pressure in the furnace, increasing heat radiation opening, to reduce the effect of furnace temperature.

97. What should I pay attention to when controlling temperature?

Usually in the control of furnace temperature need to pay attention to two points: one is to observe the trend of furnace temperature change, the purpose is to step on the brakes in advance.

Second, when the furnace temperature is found to be abnormal, we should observe the furnace pipe into the furnace. If the pipe does not enter the furnace in time due to the bad turning signal of the feeding platform, and the front pipe is empty out a space of three or four feet, when the furnace temperature is on the rise, if the temperature is not handled, it will dropdown. If we lower the temperature in advance, it may drop too much, and we will have to heat up again, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, the above two points should be combined in the normal production process.

After changing the specifications, the furnace temperature needs to increase 40 to 50 degrees, at this time is the critical moment of furnace temperature control, can’t temperature too fast, if the raw coal gas valve position at 30%, in order to speed up the heating rate, the valve position to 100%, which will cause a straight drop in gas pressure, may eventually cause the safety valve automatically fall, resulting in production accidents. There is also a sudden change in the air valve position will cause fan surge. When the temperature is raised by adjusting the set temperature, the one-time rise shall not be more than 10 degrees. After the temperature is stabilized, the coal gas valve position shall not exceed 60%.

When the temperature rises to the temperature required by the process, the temperature cannot be stopped, because the temperature shown by the instrument at the beginning is not the actual temperature in the furnace, but the temperature of the thermocouple and the temperature of the stepping beam is not reached. So we need to continue to raise the temperature to seven or eight or even ten degrees above the desired temperature so that the temperature throughout the furnace is uniform and stable.

If continuous production diameter steel tube, the larger specifications due to large heat, the temperature will drop sharply, especially the temperature of the heating period is not easy to control, even if the gas valve to 100%, 80% air (stove temperature increased maximum limit), also can’t control the furnace temperature, at this time, should stop feeding, such as walking beam empty out after four or five feet, temperature rise after the feed again.

98. Why can’t the heating rate be too fast?

If the heating speed is too fast, the gas pressure will drop quickly resulting in the safety valve falling, in addition, the heating speed is too fast on the refractory impact is not good, reduce the life, serious will cause resistance to material cracking.

99.What kinds of cooling methods are there?

1. Adjust the setpoint

If the temperature is slightly higher than the set value, just lower the set value and return to the original set value when the temperature is close to the process value.

2. Reduce the gas flow

If the furnace temperature drops soon, turn on the gas flow manually.When the temperature rises, gradually reduce the gas flow, so that the temperature reached the set value when there is just the right flow, such as the furnace temperature stability after automatic play.

3. Adjust the furnace pressure

If the temperature of the furnace rises very high and the gas output is already 0, in order to reduce the temperature of the furnace as soon as possible, it is necessary to open the pressure valve of the furnace to output heat dissipation, and then return to the original position after the temperature is restored

4. Turn up the airflow

If the temperature of the furnace rises sharply, gas and air can be played manually to increase the airflow. If the air is too big to kill the burner, temporarily do not burn the burner until the temperature drops and then go to burn the burner.

100. Why does water quench Wheaton stop motionless in mid-air?

What is it and the solution?

1. The metal induction signal sensitivity of the water quenching proximity switch is too high, and the time for the rotation of the water quenching Sveden lever is controlled within 10 seconds, which is not enough.

2. At this time, Swindon just received a feed signal, halfway up, the metal sensor left its original position, causing the proximity switch to receive the signal ahead of time.

3. When the Swinton lever stops at the base position, the approach switch is directly opposite the metal sensor. The Swinton lever will stop only when it is facing the base position.

Solutions:

1. Rotate the Swindon lever once each time, lift the steel tube on the roll table, put it on the water quenching wheel, and then return to the initial position. Keep the rotation time under 10 seconds.

2. The position of the metal sensor needs to be adjusted to the base position.

3. If such faults occur frequently, report to the equipment for repair. The metal induction can be fixed to prevent it from shifting.

How to solve the problem of pipe stuck between quenching wheel and moving door during water quenching?

Causes:

1. The pipe is too bent and cannot be pressed by the pressing wheel. When water quenching is sprayed inside and outside, the pipe shakes too much on the quenching wheel, causing the pipe to roll out of its original position and into the space between the quenching wheel and the moving door.

2. During water quenching, the pipe is thrown out of the quenching wheel, which gets stuck between the moving door and quenching wheel and causes the pipe to bend.

Treatment method:

In the event of such a failure, the furnace roll will be manually driven, the feeding bench into the furnace roll stop feeding. Then inform the train to lift the pipe out, the wire rope should be crossed when hanging, so that when lifting, the wire rope is not easy to hang to the equipment, at the same time improve the efficiency of fault handling.

101. What is the cause of multiple pipes being turned over to the quenching furnace before being put into the roller table?

The reason:

1. Stack pipes when discharging
