Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the continuous casting of metal in single or multi-strand systems, the metal, in particular steel, being poured through a pouring tube from a pouring vessel into an oscillating mold with a closed, pressurized, gas-filled space located above the mold bath level and a device for this.
  • a common mold with several individual molds arranged next to one another is known. In their upper section, these individual molds have gas-filled cavities which are connected to one another. This maintains the same gas composition and pressure. Above the individual molds, there is a common attachment, which also oscillates with the mold, for receiving melt and which communicatively connects the individual molds. This has the advantage that the devices that move the individual strands can be driven at the same speed.
  • a disadvantage of these known solutions is that the bath level height in the mold is regulated by regulating the gas pressure in the cavities above, which inevitably leads to fluctuations in the bath level, which lead to a deterioration of the cast product. Furthermore, complex devices for determining the bath level in the casting container upstream of the mold and devices for pressure monitoring in the cavities as well as a corresponding control device must be provided. In the previously known continuous casting process for casting small formats, such as billets, in which work is carried out without throttling elements on the intermediate container, such as a slide or stopper, the casting speed is essentially dependent on the ferrostatic height above the spout.
  • inert gas is continuously fed into the room during the casting and the gas is separated into the atmosphere in the form of a bubble in counterflow to the metal flowing in the pouring tube.
  • this so-called closed casting system ensures that the bath level in the mold automatically adjusts to a certain level and with only the slightest deviation during the entire casting process remains at this level.
  • This level is determined or can be set by the corresponding height of the outlet opening of the immersed pouring tube in the mold cavity of the mold.
  • the previously customary devices for determining the mold bath level are no longer necessary.
  • the pouring speed is independent of the ferrostatic height or the bath level in the intermediate container. It is only determined by the easily adjustable pull-out speed.
  • the flow rate of the metal in the pouring tube is kept lower than the possible rate of ascent of the gas bubbles.
  • the flow rate of the metal in the pouring tube is set by the selected pull-out speed for a given flow cross section of the pouring tube.
  • the relatively low inflow speed of the unthrottled metal in the pouring tube achieves the advantage that washout of the pouring tube with the associated risk of tearing it off and disruptions caused by the flow channel in the pouring tube becoming smeared due to deposits are avoided. This increases the safety of the casting process and leads to an improvement in the quality of the cast product.
  • a further improvement of the cast product results from the fact that, with this closed casting system, no slag gets into the primary solidification area of the strand inside the mold, since reoxidation is not possible due to the inert atmosphere.
  • the cleaning effect achieved by the rising gas also has a favorable effect on the casting quality.
  • the lubrication can be done in a known manner with oil. However, due to the lack of oxygen, the amount of oil can be reduced considerably.
  • the inert gas for example argon or nitrogen, is supplied in an amount of up to 0.5 l / sec.
  • the gas flow For a smooth pouring process, it is advantageous to keep the gas flow constant and as small as possible for as long a casting period as possible, so that gas just rises to the bath level in the intermediate container.
  • the flow cross-section of the pouring tube should not be too Fully filled with metal, ie the amount of metal flowing into the pouring tube should be less than the swallowing capacity of the pouring tube. This enables the gas expanding in the cavity to escape upwards.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the flow cross-section Q of the pouring tube is greater than or equal to Q k V, Q being the through-V g flow cross-section of the pouring tube, Q k the mold cross-section, V the pouring speed and V g the speed of the flowing metal in the pouring tube mean and a metering device is provided in the gas supply line.
  • the lower end of the pouring tube should be arranged at a distance of 2-15 cm from the upper mold edge.
  • the lower end of the pouring tube should be chamfered.
  • an intermediate wall with a passage opening near the bottom should be provided in the pouring vessel, the cross section of the opening being smaller than the flow cross section of the pouring tube.
  • a movable casing 3 is provided between an oscillating mold -1 and a stationary casting vessel 2, for example an intermediate container, which can compensate for the oscillating movements of the mold.
  • This shell shown as a flexible metal bellows in the example shown, delimits a cavity 5 together with a pouring tube 4 attached under the pouring vessel 2.
  • liquid metal for example steel
  • argon becomes an inert gas from a gas Container 7 supplied to the cavity 5 via lines 8.
  • an intermediate wall 11 is provided in the intermediate container, which has a passage opening 13, the cross-section of which is smaller than the flow cross-section 14 of the pouring tube 4. Therefore, the gas in the cavity 5, which expands due to the heating, can escape upward unhindered.
  • the intermediate wall 11 is so high that the steel flows above it in the intermediate container after the casting process at the desired bath level 15.
  • a pressure relief valve 12 is installed in the gas feed line for safety, which opens automatically at a pressure which corresponds to approximately twice the possible ferrostatic pressure. Due to the inert gas continuously introduced into the cavity 5, the bath level 6 adjusts itself exactly to the height of the lower end of the pouring tube 4. This is about 10 cm from the upper mold edge 17.
  • the strand 9 formed with a solidified shell is conveyed out of the mold 1 by driven rollers, for example a drive and / or straightening unit (not shown).
  • the gas introduced with a higher pressure than the ferrostatic column rises in the form of bubbles 16 in countercurrent - through the steel flowing downwards in the pouring tube and emerges through the bath level 15 in the intermediate vessel 2 into the free atmosphere.
  • the flow rate of the steel in the pouring tube is kept lower than the possible rate of ascent of the gas bubbles.
  • the beveling of the lower end of the pouring tube 4 facilitates the detachment of the gas bubbles.
  • a uniform removal of the gas bubbles from the lower region of the pouring tube 4 is achieved in that the liquid steel is advantageously moved rotationally symmetrically about the longitudinal axis 25 of the strand.
  • induction coils 26 are arranged around the mold cavity wall of the mold 1, with which a continuous or, if desired, intermittent movement of the liquid steel core can be caused.
  • the steel is fed without throttling and consequently the flow speed of the steel in the pouring tube can be easily adjusted by the selected pull-out speed for a given flow cross section of the pouring tube.
  • the product can also be derived from the continuity equation according to which the product of the casting speed V (cm / min) times the mold cross section Q k (cm 2 ) must be the same Flow velocity V g (cm / min) in the pouring tube times the flow cross-section Q g (cm) of the pouring tube, the required flow cross-section for preselected pouring speeds and mold formats can be calculated.
  • the diameter of the flow channel of the pouring tube is 55 mm.
  • the quantity of gas supplied is 0.005 l / sec at the start of the casting and is reduced to - a quantity of 0.002 l / sec after about 3 minutes.
  • a metering device 10 is provided in the gas feed line 8, which always delivers the same amount of gas at a certain setting, regardless of the upstream and back pressure.
  • the pressure of the gas in the cavity 5 is not regulated, as in the known methods, but only the amount of the continuously supplied inert gas. Since the inert gas can escape upwards, a pressure is automatically set in the cavity 5 which is the same as it corresponds to the ferrostatic height from the lower end of the pouring tube 4 to the bath level 15 in the intermediate container 2.
  • the mold bath level adjusts itself exactly to the height of the lower end of the immersing pouring tube and remains there during the entire pouring process.
  • the effective functioning of the system can be checked by observing the gas bubbles emerging through the bath level in the intermediate container.
  • the above-mentioned bath level indicator for the intermediate container is not required. Furthermore, there are no devices for regulating the flow rate of the steel into the mold.
  • the casting speed which is determined exclusively by the speed of the driving and / or straightening rollers, is only limited by the requirement that the flow rate of the steel in the pouring tube must be lower than the rate of ascent of the gas bubbles.
  • the casting speed is more than 1.5 m / min over a large range of the casting time.
  • 3 molds can be combined into one unit in the same water jacket 19 with only one cooling water inflow and outflow, as represented by the reference numerals 20 and 21.
  • Such a unit therefore only requires an oscillation drive (not shown).
  • the three cast strands 9 are supported and guided by the same rollers 22 and also pulled out with the same pulling unit, not shown.
  • This has the advantage that all strands of the multi-strand system have the same bath level and are conveyed at the same speed.
  • only a simple water system 23 with control is required for the strands 9.
  • the line spacings 24 are approximately three times smaller than in conventional multi-line systems. Further advantages result, for example, from the design of the intermediate container, which can be built much shorter. In addition to the simpler design solution, this also brings metallurgical advantages. For example, the steel can be cast with a lower casting temperature. Also, because of the shorter distances between the point of impact of the pouring jet and the intermediate container spouts, the risk of closing is lower.
