Simulation analysis for stress field of 100T hot-metal ladle based on ANSYS

It is of significance that the stress value and distribution of tank body is determined accurately to ensure safety and reliable operation during the design and checking of hot-metal ladle. Aiming at the performances of 100T hot-metal ladle in service, the stress fields of hot-metal ladle that is at the states of being slung vertically and rolled-over are analyzed by ANSYS software in order to obtain the numerical value and distribution of stress. The results show that, under the two conditions, the maximum equivalent tension stress of tank body is less than the admissible stress of material, which meets the requirement of intensity. The finite element analysis results accord with practical operation of hot-metal ladle. The method is reasonable and reliable, which can provide some theoretical evidences for the design and checking of hot-metal ladle.
