Description
Gießwalzanlage zum Herstellen von Metallbändern Casting mill for producing metal strips
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gießwalzanlage zum Herstellen von Metallbändern gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 . Konkret betrifft die Erfindung kleine Gießwalzanlagen, sogenannte Micro-Mill-Anlagen zur Herstellung von Flachstahl mit einer Jahresproduktion zwischen 350.000 und 700.000 t Kohlenstoffstahl. Das erfindungsgemäße Anlagenkonzept zeichnet sich durch geringe Investitions- und Produktionskosten, eine schnelle Projektrealisierung mit guter und kurzfristiger Rentabilität des investierten Kapitals und durch ein kompaktes Anlagenlayout aus. Die erfindungsgemäße Anlage eignet sich besonders für Stahlerzeuger in Regionen, wo bisher keine Flachstahlerzeugung stattfand und wo eine Spezialisierung auf regionale Anforderungen erfolgen soll. The invention relates to a cast roll plant for producing metal strips according to the preamble of patent claim 1. Specifically, the invention relates to small caster rolling mills, so-called micro-mill plants for the production of flat steel with an annual production between 350,000 and 700,000 t of carbon steel. The plant concept according to the invention is characterized by low investment and production costs, a fast project realization with good and short-term profitability of the invested capital and a compact plant layout. The plant according to the invention is particularly suitable for steel producers in regions where so far no flat steel production took place and where a specialization to regional requirements should take place.
Gießwalzanlagen sind im Stand der Technik grundsätzlich bekannt. So offenbart die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift DE 41 35 214 A1 eine Gießwalzanlage mit einer Kokille mit vertikalem Ausgang zum Erzeugen eines Gießstrangs und mit einer Strangführung zum Umlenken des Gießstrangs aus der Vertikalen in die Horizontale. Die Strangführung umfasst einen der Kokille in Gießrichtung nachfolgenden Vertikalteil und einen sich an den Vertikalteil anschließenden Umlenkteil. Der Vertikalteil umfasst seinerseits einen der Kokille nachfolgenden ersten Parallelabschnitt, einen dem Parallelabschnitt in Gießrichtung nachfolgenden Reduktionsabschnitt und einen dem Reduktionsabschnitt in Gießrichtung nachfolgenden zweiten Parallelabschnitt, in welchem die Durcherstarrung des Gießstrangs erfolgt. Der Strangführung nachgeordnet ist eine Zerteileinrichtung zum Teilen des Gießstrangs in Metallbänder vorbestimmter Länge, ein Tunnelofen, ein Steckelwalzwerk zum weiteren Dickenreduzieren der Metallbänder, eine Kühlstrecke sowie eine Haspeleinrichtung zum Aufwickeln des gewalzten Metallbandes zu einem Bund. Die Strangführung besteht aus einer Mehrzahl hintereinander geschalteter einzelner Rollenpaare, wobei diese Rollenpaare bzw. die einzelnen Rollen der Rollenpaare jeweils individuell angestellt werden. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine bekannte Gießwalzanlage zum Herstellen von Metallbändern dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass sie insbesondere in ihrer Höhe kompakter gebaut werden kann und dass sie darüber hinaus preiswerter herzustellen und einfacher zu bedienen ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach ist die erfindungsgemäße Gießwalzanlage dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die gestützte Länge der Gießwalzanlage, welche sich von dem Gießspiegel in der Kokille bis zur letzten Rolle des Vertikalteils der Strangführung erstreckt, 2 bis 5 m beträgt und dass der Vertikalteil der Strangführung aus maximal zwei, vorzugsweise nur einem einzigen Segment mit einer Festseite und einer Losseite gebildet ist. Cast roll mills are generally known in the art. For example, German laid-open specification DE 41 35 214 A1 discloses a cast rolling mill with a mold with a vertical outlet for producing a cast strand and with a strand guide for deflecting the cast strand from the vertical into the horizontal. The strand guide comprises a vertical part following the mold in the casting direction and a deflecting part adjoining the vertical part. The vertical part in turn comprises a first parallel section following the mold, a reduction section following the parallel section in the casting direction, and a second parallel section following the reduction section in the casting direction, in which the through solidification of the cast strand takes place. Subordinate to the strand guide is a dicing device for dividing the casting strand into metal strips of predetermined length, a tunnel kiln, a Steckel mill for further reducing the thickness of the metal strips, a cooling section and a reel device for winding the rolled metal strip into a bundle. The strand guide consists of a A plurality of individual pairs of rollers connected in series, wherein these pairs of rollers or the individual roles of the pairs of rollers are each made individually. The invention has the object of developing a known cast roll mill for the production of metal bands to the effect that they can be made more compact in particular in their height and that they also produce cheaper and easier to use. This object is solved by the subject matter of patent claim 1. Accordingly, the cast roll mill according to the invention is characterized in that the supported length of the casting mill, which extends from the mold level in the mold to the last roll of the vertical part of the strand guide, 2 to 5 m and that the vertical part of the strand guide of a maximum of two, preferably only a single segment is formed with a fixed side and a lot side.
Die gestützte Länge bemisst sich in Gießrichtung vom Gießspiegel in der Kokille bis zum Ende des zweiten Parallelteils, nicht jedoch bis zum Ende des Vertikalteils, das heißt, nicht bis zu dem Biegetreiber. The supported length is measured in the casting direction from the casting mirror in the mold to the end of the second parallel part, but not to the end of the vertical part, that is, not to the bending driver.
Aufgrund der beanspruchten kurzen gestützten Länge baut die Gießwalzanlage auch in ihrer Höhe nur kurz im Vergleich mit anderen im Stand der Technik bekannten Gießwalzanlagen. Die Ausbildung des Vertikalteils der Strangführung in Segmentbauweise mit vorzugsweise nur einem einzigen Segment mit einer durchgehenden einteiligen Festseite und einer mehrteiligen Losseite bietet den Vorteil, dass die Anzahl der Aktuatoren, d. h. die Anzahl der für die Rollen notwendigen Anstell kleiner ist als bei einer Ausbildung der Strangführung mit einer Vielzahl einzeln ansteuerbarer Rollen. Die mehrteilig gestaltete Losseite ist deshalb erforderlich, um den ersten Parallelabschnitt, den nachfolgenden Reduktionsabschnitt sowie den zweiten Parallelabschnitt mit ihren jeweiligen Rollen individuell anstellen zu können. Due to the claimed short supported length, the cast rolling mill also builds in height only briefly compared with other known in the art casting rolling plants. The formation of the vertical part of the strand guide in segmental design with preferably only a single segment with a continuous one-piece fixed side and a multi-part lot side has the advantage that the number of actuators, ie the number of necessary for the roles Anstell is smaller than in a design of the strand guide with a variety of individually controllable roles. The multi-part designed Losseite is therefore required to the first parallel section, the subsequent Reduction section and the second parallel section with their respective roles to hire individually.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel hat der erste Parallelabschnitt eine gestützte Länge kleiner als 500 mm und umfasst ein bis drei Rollenpaare, die in Gießrichtung hintereinander angeordnet sind oder ist er in Form eines Gitters ausgebildet zum zunächst biegungsfreien Führen des Gießstrangs. According to a first embodiment, the first parallel section has a supported length less than 500 mm and comprises one to three pairs of rollers, which are arranged one behind the other in the casting direction or it is designed in the form of a grid for initially bending-free guidance of the cast strand.
Der Reduktionsabschnitt umfasst vorteilhafterweise drei bis acht Rollenpaare, welche in Gießrichtung über eine Länge von weniger als 1 ,5 m hintereinander angeordnet sind und eine Liquid-Core-Reduction LCR-Reduktionsstrecke bilden. The reduction section advantageously comprises three to eight roller pairs, which are arranged one after the other in the casting direction over a length of less than 1.5 m and form a liquid core reduction LCR reduction section.
Der zweite Parallelabschnitt weist vorzugsweise eine Länge von weniger als 1 ,5 m auf. The second parallel section preferably has a length of less than 1.5 m.
Die beiden zuletzt angesprochenen Merkmale, das heißt die Anzahl der Rollenpaare in dem Reduktionsabschnitt sowie die Länge des zweiten Parallelabschnitts dienen vorteilhafterweise dazu, die Höhe der Gießwalzanlage zu begrenzen. The two last-mentioned features, that is, the number of pairs of rollers in the reduction section and the length of the second parallel section advantageously serve to limit the height of the casting mill.
Der Durchmesser vorzugsweise aller Strangführungsrollen, insbesondere jedoch der Strangführungsrollen in dem Reduktionsabschnitt, ist kleiner als 180 mm, vorzugsweise kleiner 140 mm. Diese Rollengröße ist ausreichend, insbesondere wenn innerhalb des Reduktionsabschnitts nicht nur mit einem, sondern mit einer Mehrzahl von Rollenpaaren reduziert wird. Das in Gießrichtung letzte Rollenpaar des zweiten Parallelteils der Strangführung ist vorteilhafterweise auf eine Größe des Walzspaltes von 20 bis 40 mm einstellbar. The diameter of preferably all strand guide rollers, but in particular the strand guide rollers in the reduction section, is less than 180 mm, preferably less than 140 mm. This roller size is sufficient, in particular if it is reduced within the reduction section not only with one, but with a plurality of roller pairs. The cast last in the last pair of rollers of the second parallel part of the strand guide is advantageously adjustable to a size of the roll gap of 20 to 40 mm.
Die Schmalseiten der Kokille führen zu einer Gießdicke ex Kokille von 40 bis 60 mm. Die gesamte Bauhöhe H2 der Gießwalzanlage beträgt weniger als 7,5 m. Der Beschreibung sind 2 Figuren beigefügt, wobei The narrow sides of the mold lead to a casting thickness ex Kokilles from 40 to 60 mm. The overall height H2 of the casting rolling mill is less than 7.5 m. The description is attached to 2 figures, wherein

The vertical part 125 comprises a first parallel section 125-1 following the mold, a reduction section 125-2 following the parallel section in the casting direction, and a reduction section 125-2 following in the casting direction Gießnchtung subsequent second parallel section 125-3, in which the solidification of the cast strand.
Der erste Parallelteil 125-1 umfasst maximal drei Rollenpaare, welche unterhalb der Kokille und bezüglich der Gießrichtung in Flucht zum Ausgang der Kokille angeordnet sind. Alternativ kann er als Führungsgitter ausgebildet sein. Unabhängig von seiner Ausbildung beträgt seine Länge in Gießrichtung maximal 500 mm. Der Reduktionsabschnitt 125-2 umfasst drei bis acht Rollenpaare und erstreckt sich über eine Länge von weniger als 1 ,5 m, vorzugsweise weniger als 1 m. Innerhalb des Reduktionsabschnittes wird der Gießstrang gemäß dem Liquid- Core-Reduction LCR-Verfahren in seiner Dicke zwischen 33 % und 66 % reduziert. Beispielhaft erfolgt dort eine Dickenreduktion ausgehend von 40 bis 60 mm auf 20 bis 40 mm. Typisch für das erfindungsgemäße Anlagenkonzept ist demnach eine kurze Strangführung, insbesondere ein kurzer Reduktionsteil, bei gleichzeitig großer Reduktion bzw. Dickenabnahme in dem konisch angestellten The first parallel part 125-1 comprises a maximum of three roller pairs, which are arranged below the mold and with respect to the casting direction in alignment with the exit of the mold. Alternatively, it may be formed as a guide grid. Regardless of its training, its length in the casting direction is a maximum of 500 mm. The reduction section 125-2 comprises three to eight roller pairs and extends over a length of less than 1.5 m, preferably less than 1 m. Within the reduction section, the cast strand is reduced in thickness between 33% and 66% according to the Liquid Core Reduction LCR method. By way of example, there is a reduction in thickness starting from 40 to 60 mm to 20 to 40 mm. Accordingly, a short strand guide, in particular a short reduction part, is at the same time typical for the plant concept according to the invention, with at the same time great reduction or thickness reduction in the conically set one

m An den Reduktionsabschnitt 125-2 schließt sich in Gießrichtung der besagte zweite Parallelabschnitt 125-3 an mit einer Länge von weniger als 1 ,5 m, vorzugsweise weniger als 1 ,0 m. Der zweite Parallelabschnitt umfasst vier bis zehn Rollenpaare. In der Praxis kann der zweite Parallelabschnitt auch leicht konisch angestellt sein, um dem thermischen Taper, d. h. dem Schrumpf des Materials aufgrund der Abkühlung, Rechnung zu tragen. The reduction section 125-2 is followed in the casting direction by the said second parallel section 125-3 with a length of less than 1.5 m, preferably less than 1.0 m. The second parallel section comprises four to ten pairs of rollers. In practice, the second parallel section may also be slightly tapered to accommodate the thermal taper, i. H. shrinkage of the material due to cooling.
Der vertikale Strangführungsbereich 125 ist vorzugsweise aus nur einem Segment mit einer Festseite und einer Losseite gebildet. Die Festseite, links vom Gießstrang 210 in Figur 2, des Segmentes ist einteilig ausgebildet, während die Losseite, rechts vom Gießstrang 210 in Figur 2, beispielhaft dreigeteilt ist. Dies bedeutet, es sind individuell anstellbare Segmentrahmen vorgesehen für den ersten Parallelteil 125-1 , für den Reduktionsabschnitt 125-2 und für den zweiten Parallelabschnitt 125-3. Die Anstellung der Rollenpaare bzw. der Rahmen der Segmente erfolgt, wie üblich, über positionsgeregelte Hydraulikzylinder mit Kraftüberwachung. Innerhalb des Segmentbereiches kann auf einen Rollenantrieb verzichtet werden. Bei den Strangführungsrollen handelt es sich um mindestens einfach geteilte Rollen mit Durchmessern von weniger als 180 mm, vorzugsweise in Achsrollenausführung mit Innenkühlung. Die Sekundärkühlung im Bereich des Vertikalteils erfolgt über Einstoff- oder Zweistoffdüsen mit spezifischen Wasserbeaufschlagungsdichten von 0,5 bis 4 l/kg Kühlmedium, z. B. Liter Wasser pro Kilogramm Stahl. Die Regelung der Sekundärkühlung erfolgt über Spritzpläne oder bevorzugt über ein Prozessmodell. The vertical strand guide region 125 is preferably formed of only one segment with a fixed side and a loose side. The fixed side, to the left of the cast strand 210 in FIG. 2, of the segment is formed integrally, while the loose side, to the right of the cast strand 210 in FIG. 2, is divided into three by way of example. This means there are individually engageable segment frame provided for the first parallel part 125-1, for the reduction section 125-2 and for the second parallel section 125-3. The employment of the pairs of rollers or the frame of the segments is carried out, as usual, via position-controlled hydraulic cylinder with force monitoring. Within the segment area can be dispensed with a roller drive. The strand guide rollers are at least simply divided rollers with diameters of less than 180 mm, preferably in axle roller design with internal cooling. The secondary cooling in the region of the vertical part via single-fluid or two-fluid nozzles with specific Wasserbeaufschlagungsdichten of 0.5 to 4 l / kg of cooling medium, z. B. liters of water per kilogram of steel. Secondary cooling is controlled via spray plans or preferably via a process model.
Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, umfasst der Strangantrieb am Ende des Vertikalteils 125 einen Biegetreiber 190, welcher in Form von ein oder maximal zwei Rollenpaaren ausgebildet ist, bei denen jeweils beide Rollen angetrieben sind. Der Abstand zwischen dem Ende des zweiten Parallelteils 125-3, in Gießrichtung gesehen, und dem Biegetreiber 190, insbesondere den Drehachsen von dessen Rollenpaar, beträgt weniger als 1 m. Darüber hinaus umfasst der Strangantrieb einen Richttreiber 195 mit bis zu 4 angetriebene Rollen im Richtbereich, d. h. am Ende des Umlenkbereiches 128. Bei dem Biege- und Richttreiber handelt es sich um einzeln ansteuerbare Rollenpaare, bevorzugt mit Positions- und Kraftüberwachung. Biege- und Führungsrollen im Umlenkteil 128 sorgen für eine ausreichende Führung des Metallbandes zwischen dem Biegetreiber 190 und dem Richttreiber 195 am Ende des Umlenkteils. As shown in FIG. 2, the strand drive at the end of the vertical part 125 comprises a bending driver 190, which is designed in the form of one or at most two roller pairs, in which both rollers are driven. The distance between the end of the second parallel part 125-3, seen in the casting direction, and the bending driver 190, in particular the axes of rotation of the pair of rollers, is less than 1 m. In addition, the strand drive comprises a straightening driver 195 with up to 4 driven rollers in the straightening range, i. H. at the end of the deflection area 128. The bending and straightening drivers are individually controllable pairs of rollers, preferably with position and force monitoring. Bending and guide rollers in the deflecting 128 provide sufficient guidance of the metal strip between the bending driver 190 and the straightening driver 195 at the end of the deflection.
Die gesamte Bauhöhe H2 der Anlage, die sich vom Gießspiegel bis zum Strang nach dessen Umlenkung in die Horizontale bemisst, liegt zwischen 5 und 7,5 m. Wie gesagt, schließt sich nach dem Umlenkteil 128 eine Zerteileinrichtung 130 und ein Tunnelofen an, zur Entkopplung des bis dahin stattgefundenen Gießprozesses von dem nachfolgend stattfindenden Walzprozess. Optional ist hinter dem Tunnelofen 140 die besagte induktive Heizung 150 angeordnet, um die Bramme bzw. das Metallband aufzuheizen und/oder die Temperatur des Metallbandes über seiner Länge zu vergleichmäßigen. The total height H2 of the plant, which is measured from the casting level to the strand after its deflection into the horizontal, is between 5 and 7.5 m. As I said, after the deflection part 128 is followed by a dicing device 130 and a tunnel kiln, for the decoupling of the hitherto taken place Casting process from the subsequent rolling process. Optionally, behind the tunnel kiln 140, said inductive heating 150 is arranged to heat the slab or the metal strip and / or to equalize the temperature of the metal strip over its length.
In dem Steckelwalzwerk 160 mit zwei Wickelöfen 162, 164 wird das Metallband in beispielsweise drei, fünf oder sieben Stichen auf eine vorgegebene Enddicke gewalzt. Hinter dem Steckelwalzwerk folgen die besagte Kühlstrecke 170 und der Haspel 180. In the Steckel mill 160 with two coiler ovens 162, 164, the metal strip is rolled in, for example, three, five or seven passes to a predetermined final thickness. Behind the Steckel mill follow the said cooling section 170 and the reel 180th
