偏心搅拌对KR铁水混匀与桨叶应力变形影响的数值模拟

Numerical simulation of the effect of eccentric stirring on KR molten iron mixing and impeller stress deformation

  • 摘要: 采用Ansys对KR搅拌桨叶进行了流-热-固耦合数值模拟,计算了在离心力、CFD压力载荷与温度载荷作用下桨叶的等效应力与总变形,确定了桨叶上最大应力与最大总变形的位置,并进一步研究了铁水温度与偏心搅拌工艺对桨叶等效应力与总变形的影响。结果表明:在未偏心工况下叶片连接处的等效应力最大,为10.01 MPa,桨叶端面下部的变形最大,为15.64 mm;考虑铁水温度后,叶片连接处上部的等效应力由0.77 MPa增至10.01 MPa,提高了12倍,桨叶下部的最大总变形增加了近13倍,说明铁水温度是影响桨叶等效应力及总变形的主要因素,在研究过程中不可忽略。搅拌桨偏心搅拌提高了铁水整体流速,有利于脱硫剂与铁水混合,当偏心100 mm时,混匀时间缩短了3%,但偏心距离过大,易出现铁水溅出与氧化现象;当偏心200 mm时,叶片连接处上部的等效应力增加了111倍,桨叶下部的总变形增加了60.33%,过大的应力会导致桨叶内部断裂,外部出现裂纹直至桨叶损坏,而桨叶形变过大会导致桨叶的抗拉强度降低,性能下降,出现疲劳破坏现象。

     

    Abstract: The fluid-thermal-solid coupling numerical simulation of the KR impeller was conducted using Ansys software. The equivalent stress and total deformation of the impeller were calculated under centrifugal force, CFD pressure load and temperature load. The positions of maximum stress and maximum total deformation on the impeller were identified, and the influence of molten-iron temperature and eccentric stirring process on the equivalent stress and total deformation of the impeller was further analyzed. The results show that the equivalent stress at the joint of the impeller is the highest at 10.01 MPa under the non-eccentric condition. At the same time, the most significant deformation occurs at the lower part of the impeller end face, which is 15.64 mm. When the molten iron temperature is taken into account, the equivalent stress at the upper portion of the impeller joint increases from 0.77 MPa to 10.01 MPa, which twelve-fold rise, and the maximum total deformation at the lower part of the impeller increases by nearly thirteen times, thereby indicating that the molten iron temperature is the dominant factor affecting both the equivalent stress and overall deformation of the impeller, and thus must not be overlooked in analysis. The eccentric stirring of the impeller increases the overall flow velocity of the molten iron, which promotes mixing between the desulfurizer and the molten iron. At an eccentricity of 100 mm, the mixing time is reduced by 3%, but excessive eccentricity can cause splashing and oxidation of the molten iron. When the eccentricity reaches 200 mm, the equivalent stress at the upper part of the impeller joint increases by 111 times, and the total deformation at the lower part of the impeller increases by 60.33%. Excessive stress can lead to internal fractures of the impeller and external cracks, ultimately resulting in impeller failure. Similarly, excessive deformation of the impeller will reduce the impeller’s tensile strength, degrade its performance, and cause fatigue failure.
