Lubrication characteristics and oil selection of steel metallurgical machinery

2024-03-11

1. Lubrication of ironmaking and sintering equipment

Ironmaking and sintering equipment, such as coking machines, pushing coke machines, limestone and ore sintering equipment, large blowers, ore hopper traction steel wire ropes and other furnace top equipment, chemical furnaces, blast furnaces, belt conveyors, etc., are mostly exposed to atmospheric and dust, corrosive smoke and dust environments, and are prone to corrosion, abrasive wear, and cavitation. Lubrication should be applied to the corresponding bearings, gears, worm gears, hydraulic systems, wire ropes, etc. Due to frequent exposure to the air filled with coal powder, coking machinery must be sealed and lubricated, such as the hydraulic systems of furnace door switches, bottom turning carts, and water spray quenching carts. Generally, non combustible hydraulic fluids such as water ethylene glycol should be used; Belt conveyor shafts should be lubricated with lithium based or composite calcium based grease. The coke pusher operates indirectly and is subjected to impact loads, in coal dust and high temperature environments. It is necessary to use extreme pressure lithium grease with good heat and water resistance, or use anti oxygen and anti rust extreme pressure lubricating oil for circulating lubrication. The hydraulic system also needs to use flame-retardant hydraulic fluid. Due to the presence of dust and corrosive smoke, some machinery for gas purification and chemical by-product recovery should use anti oxygen and anti rust turbine oil as lubricants for gas exhaust machines, and a circulating lubrication system with filters should be applied. Limestone and ore sintering equipment often operates under dust, vibration, and high temperature conditions, so composite calcium based, composite lithium based, bentonite, or composite aluminum based lubricating grease should be used. Large blast furnaces, ore hopper traction steel wire ropes, and other top equipment can generally be lubricated using a dry oil lubrication system with No. 0 or No. 1 extreme pressure lithium grease. Top machinery can use phosphate ester refractory liquid as the hydraulic medium. The iron ladle car has a high load and temperature, and needs to be lubricated with extreme pressure lithium grease with a drop point greater than 125 ℃.

2. Lubrication of steelmaking equipment

The operation of modern steelmaking furnaces is controlled by computers, with a high degree of automation. The equipment used requires corresponding lubrication systems and lubricants. In the oxygen converter equipment, the blowing oxygen converter is supported by a limit rotation shaft, and the supporting rolling bearings are lubricated with molybdenum disulfide lithium grease. Static pressure bearings and polytetrachloroethylene oil pads can also be lubricated with grease. Lubrication of industrial gear oil in the drive device of the converter for heavy or heavy-duty loads. There are many lubrication points for the main auxiliary equipment such as exhaust fans, motors, loading cranes, and cranes, which are lubricated with corresponding lubricating grease and dry oil lubrication systems. The driving gears are commonly lubricated with oil bath lubrication. The rolling bearings of the continuous casting machine, including the casting machine turntable, overhead crane, mold swinging device, and ingot taking platform, are generally lubricated with composite aluminum based grease at high temperatures. The lubrication of the mold uses lubricants to prevent mold wear and adhesion. The hydraulic medium for continuous casting is commonly water ethylene glycol or phosphate ester type medium. 3.
