Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing blocks or strands of metal - in particular from steel as well as Ni and Co-based alloys - by melting self-consuming electrodes in an electrically conductive slag bath using alternating or direct current in a short, after water-cooled mold open at the bottom, via which a current contact to the slag bath can be established.
  • the invention also includes a device for performing this method.
  • remelting blocks are produced using the process of electroslag remelting in stand molds - but also in short slide molds - it is common, depending on the susceptibility of the remelted alloy to segregate, to set a melting rate in kilograms (kg) per hour, which for round blocks is between 70% and 110% of the block diameter in millimeters (mm).
  • a melting rate in kilograms (kg) per hour, which for round blocks is between 70% and 110% of the block diameter in millimeters (mm).
  • an equivalent diameter can be used, which is calculated from the cross-sectional circumference divided by the number ⁇ (Pi).
  • the lower area is mainly used for strongly segregating alloys - such as tool steels or high-alloyed nickel base alloys - in which a flat metal sump is aimed at to avoid segregation.
  • the value of 70% can hardly be undercut in the conventional ESR process, since then the power supply from the melting electrode into the slag bath has to be reduced very much, which results in a low temperature of the slag bath and subsequently a poor, often grooved surface of the remelting block has the consequence. If the power supply is too low for Slag bath then often also forms a thick slag jacket between the block and the mold, which in turn hinders the heat dissipation from the block surface, so that the desired flat melt sump cannot be achieved.
  • the slag bath temperature and the melting rate are - and in context thus the depth of the swamp and the formation of the surface - closely linked and cannot be controlled and controlled independently of one another and separately.
  • the melting rate with increased power supply to the slag bath occurs because the melting electrode serves on the one hand to supply energy to the slag bath, but on the other hand all the more melts faster, the more you increase the energy supply to the slag bath.
  • the electrode must then be fed into the slag bath at the speed at which it melts. If the melting electrode were not topped up, it would melt to just above the surface of the slag bath, which would interrupt the electrical contact and thus the power supply to the slag bath. The remelting process would come to a standstill.
  • Another way to increase the slag bath is of smaller diameter electrodes zen umzusch 'mel-.
  • the end face of the electrode immersed in the slag bath is smaller, so that a comparatively hotter slag bath is required in order to achieve the desired melting rate.
  • this measure can often be used to improve the surface of the block, the use of small-diameter electrodes leads to an increased heat concentration in the center of the block, which can result in a V-shaped recessed sump with an increased tendency to segregate.
  • EP 786 521 B1 by the applicant shows a process for remelting electroslag in which, by melting electrodes of comparatively large diameter, higher deposition rates are set than in conventional electroslag remelting.
  • part of the melt flow can be returned via current-conducting elements built into the mold wall. The arrangement leads to a division of the return line currents incorrectly proportional to the total resistance of the conductor loops used.
  • the inventor set the goal of being able to control the melting rate of the electrode independently of the temperature of the slag bath and at the same time to ensure a good block surface.
  • the melting rate of the consumable electrode can be controlled in a simple manner by the feed rate with which it is pushed into the overheated slag bath.
  • the achievable melting rate will be higher the larger the end face and the immersion depth of the electrode immersed in the slag bath and the higher its temperature.
  • the melting electrode can be completely currentless.
  • the block sump can also remain de-energized or a partial flow can be applied.
  • a circuit as a cathode is also of interest for the block sump for the reasons mentioned above. If the block and the electrode are connected as the cathode, the return line can take place via current-conducting elements in the mold connected as an anode.
  • the remelting blocks formed in the lower part of the mold can either be pulled down from this or the mold is raised in the manner in which the block standing on a base plate grows.
  • the present invention thus relates to a method for producing blocks or strands from metals, in particular from steels and Ni and Co base alloys, by melting self-consuming electrodes in an electrically conductive slag bath in a short, water-cooled mold which is open at the bottom and is built into the mold wall current conducting elements, about which in In a manner known per se, a current contact to the slag bath can be produced, the melt flow supplied being able to be introduced into the slag bath both via the remelting block and the melt sump and, if appropriate, at least one current-conducting element of the mold, the melt flow being returned via at least one current-conducting element of the mold , which is electrically insulated from any former and also the part of the mold that forms the remelting block.
  • the proportion of current supplied via the melting electrode can be 0 to 100% of the total supplied melting current.
  • the short, current-conducting mold can be permanently installed in a work platform and the remelting block can be removed downwards.
  • the block can also be built up on a fixed base plate and the mold can be raised in the manner in which the block grows.
  • the block can be removed or the mold can be lifted continuously or step by step.
  • an additional counter-stroke step can directly follow each stroke step, the step length of which can be up to 60% of the step length of the withdrawal stroke step.

  • a water-cooled mold 10 with a hollow ring-shaped mold body 12 is assigned a bottom plate 14, which in turn is hollow, according to FIG. 1, the outer diameter of which is slightly shorter than the inner diameter d of the mold 10;
  • the base plate 14 can be pushed into the mold opening or the mold interior space 11 of height h until it runs directly below the upper edge 13 of the mold hollow body 12.
  • a ring-like insulating element 16 rests on the upper edge 13 and a current-conducting element 18 — likewise ring-like and / or made of several parts — rests on this; the latter is electrically insulated from the - nonconductive - insulating elements 16 against the water-cooled lower region 20 of the mold 10 and is separated from the top by an upper insulating element 16 a from a water-cooled hollow ring 22.
