Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tauchausguß eines einer Stranggießkokille vorgeschalteten metallurgischen Gefäßes, der als einteiliges Bauteil ausgestaltet ist und im Mündungsbereich eine schlitzförmige Ausgießöffnung aufweist, die eine mehrfach größere Länge als Breite besitzt.The invention relates to an immersion nozzle upstream of a continuous casting mold metallurgical vessel, which is designed as a one-piece component and in the mouth area has a slit-shaped pouring opening that is several times longer than width has.

Ein Tauchausguss dieser Art ist aus der EP 0 648 561 A1 bekannt.A diving spout of this type is known from EP 0 648 561 A1.

Aus DE 37 09 188 C2 ist ein Tauchausguß für Stranggießkokillen bekannt, der aus mindestens zwei Bauteilen besteht, wobei der in die Stranggießkokille hineinragende Teil in einer hierzu senkrechten Ebene schmal ist und dabei im Mündungsbereich ein Längen-Breitenverhältnis von 20:1 bis 80:1 aufweist.From DE 37 09 188 C2 a submerged nozzle for continuous casting molds is known which consists of there is at least two components, the part protruding into the continuous casting mold in a plane perpendicular to this is narrow and there is a length-width ratio in the mouth region from 20: 1 to 80: 1.

In aufwendiger Weise sind der obere wie auch der untere Längenabschnitt mit besonderen hier teilbaren Kernsegmenten herzustellen.In an elaborate manner, the upper as well as the lower longitudinal section are special to manufacture divisible core segments here.

Aus DE-OS 24 28 060 ist ein kontinuierliches Stahlstranggießverfahren bekannt, bei dem Stahl über ein Gießrohr in eine im wesentlichen rechteckige Kokille geleitet wird. Das Gießrohr besitzt dabei seitliche nach unten gerichtete Austrittsöffnungen.From DE-OS 24 28 060 a continuous steel casting process is known in which Steel is passed through a pouring tube into a substantially rectangular mold. The The pouring tube has lateral downward openings.

In nachteiliger Weise ist im Mündungszentrum ein Strömungsteiler vorgesehen, durch den bei geringsten Unregelmäßigkeiten der Stahlstrom bevorzugt in eine Richtung abgelenkt wird und darüber hinaus ein zentrales Einströmen des Stahls unterbunden wird.A flow divider through which is disadvantageously provided in the mouth center with the slightest irregularities, the steel flow is preferably deflected in one direction and furthermore a central inflow of steel is prevented.

Aus US-PS 3,991,815 ist ein Gießrohr bekannt, das im Mündungsbereich eine flaschenhalsförmige Verengung aufweist und neben der zentralen Ausströmöffnung an den Seiten rückwärts gerichtete Bohrungen besitzt. Dieses im wesentlichen für Knüppelanlagen vorgesehene Tauchgießrohr teilt den Strom in nachteiliger Weise in drei voneinander unabhängige Einzelströme.From US-PS 3,991,815 a pouring tube is known, which in the mouth area bottle neck-shaped constriction and next to the central outflow opening has rear-facing holes on the sides. This essentially for Dip tube provided in stick systems disadvantageously divides the current into three independent individual flows.

Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, einen Tauchausguß für eine Brammenstranggießanlage zu schaffen, der einen konstruktiv einfachen Aufbau besitzt und der bei hoher Lebensdauer die Metallschmelze mit geringer Turbulenz sowie Eindringtiefe in eine Brammenstranggießkokille führt.The invention has set itself the goal of a diving spout for a To create slab caster, which has a structurally simple structure and the metal melt with low turbulence and a long service life Penetration depth into a slab casting mold.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die technischen Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und des Anspruchs 9.The invention achieves this goal through the technical features of Claim 1 and Claim 9.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der als Zylinder ausgestaltete Tauchausguß im Boden einen durchgängigen Schlitz auf, der bis in die Seitenwandung hineinragt. Die Querschnittsform des Zylinders kann dabei kreisrund, oval oder auch knochenförmig, d.h. mit einer Ausbeulung versehenen ovalen Form, versehen sein.According to the invention, the immersion spout configured as a cylinder has a bottom continuous slot that protrudes into the side wall. The The cross-sectional shape of the cylinder can be circular, oval or bone-shaped, i.e. with an oval shape provided with a bulge.

Nach einer Erfindung ist der Boden des zylinderförmigen Tauchausgußes dabei kümpelförmig ausgestaltet. Gemäss der zweiten Erfindung ist der Boden abgeschrägt und läuft dabei keilförmig in Richtung Schlitz aus.According to one invention, the bottom of the cylindrical immersion nozzle is included shaped like a bowl. According to the second invention, the floor is beveled and runs out in a wedge shape towards the slot.

Der Schlitz besitzt grundsätzlich gerade parallel zueinander angeordnete Seitenwände. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die schlitzförmige Ausgießöffnung keilförmig ausgestaltet mit der Größenöffnung im Zentrum des Schlitzes. In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist die schlitzförmige Ausgießöffnung im Bereich der Seitenwandung breiter als im Mündungszentrum. Die Form der Führung der Seitenwandung folgt dabei einer Kurvenform, die im Bereich des Bodens zu beiden Seiten der Mittenachse Wendepunkte aufweist. Die Erstreckung des Schlitzes in den Seitenwänden ist in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung veränderbar. Die Änderung der Länge kann stufenförmig durch Einsatzstücke erreicht werden, die in den Grund des Schlitzes einlegbar sind.The slot basically has side walls arranged parallel to one another. In an advantageous embodiment, the slit-shaped pouring opening is wedge-shaped designed with the size opening in the center of the slot. In another The slot-shaped pouring opening in the region of the side wall is the embodiment wider than in the muzzle center. The shape of the guidance of the side wall follows a curve shape in the area of the floor on both sides of the central axis Has turning points. The extension of the slot in the side walls is in one particularly advantageous embodiment changeable. The change in length can can be achieved in stages by inserts in the bottom of the slot are insertable.

Eine stufenlose Veränderung der Schlitzlänge wird durch eine Hülse erreicht, die verschiebbar den Tauchausguß umhüllt. Die Länge der Hülse ist dabei entweder so kurz bemessen, daß die komplette Hülse mit in die Schmelze eingetaucht wird. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung weist die Hülse eine Länge auf, die einenends bis nahe an das metallurgische Gefäß heranragt, wobei zwischen der Hülse und dem Tauchausguß Dichtmittel vorgesehen sind, um einen Strom von Fehlluft in die Flüssigschmelze zu vermeiden.A continuous change in the slot length is achieved by a sleeve that slidably envelops the diving spout. The length of the sleeve is either like this measure briefly that the complete sleeve is also immersed in the melt. In a another embodiment, the sleeve has a length that ends up close to protrudes metallurgical vessel, being between the sleeve and the immersion spout Sealants are provided to allow a flow of mis-air into the liquid melt avoid.

Zur Beeinflußung der Schlitzlänge an beiden Enden des Schlitzes wird die Hülse an ihrem Mündungsende abgeschrägt und neben der axialen Verschiebung noch drehbar ausgeführt.To influence the slot length at both ends of the slot, the sleeve is on beveled at the end of its mouth and rotatable in addition to the axial displacement executed.

Durch die besonders simple Form des Tauchausgußes mit seiner zylinderförmigen Wand kann in besonderer Weise Einfluß auf die Herstellung der Körper Einfluß genommen werden.Due to the particularly simple shape of the immersion nozzle with its cylindrical shape Wall can influence the manufacture of the body in a special way be taken.

Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene Ausgestaltung des Bodens mit dem durchgehenden Schlitz verläßt während des Betriebes die Flüssigschmelze den Tauchausguß in einer Form und Geschwindigkeit, die ein besonders geringes Eindringen der zugeführten Schmelze in die bereits in der Kokille befindlichen zuläßt. Hierdurch kommt es nur zu ganz geringen Turbulenzen.
Die Schmelzenvolumina vereinigen sich in besonders kurzer Zeit und strömen in Form einer Kolbenströmung mit der vorgegebenen Abzugsgeschwindigkeit im von der Strangschale umhüllten Stahlstrang.
Due to the design of the bottom with the continuous slot proposed according to the invention, the liquid melt leaves the immersion spout during operation in a shape and speed which allows particularly low penetration of the supplied melt into those already in the mold. This results in very little turbulence.
The melt volumes combine in a particularly short time and flow in the form of a piston flow with the specified withdrawal speed in the steel strand encased by the strand shell.

Der vorgeschaltete Tauchausguß ist dabei für Brammen und Knüppel geeignet, da die aus dem Tauchausguß austretende Schmelze nur eine geringe kinetische Energie besitzt. Die über den Schlitz das Tauchgießrohr verlassende Schmelze weist eine wolkenartige Ausbreitung auf, die in alle Richtungen nur eine geringe Eindringtiefe besitzt.The upstream immersion nozzle is suitable for slabs and billets, since the melt emerging from the immersion nozzle has only a small kinetic energy has. The melt leaving the immersion tube through the slot has one cloud-like spread on in all directions only a small depth of penetration has.

Nach einer kurzen Strömungsstrecke nimmt die dem Sumpf zuströmende Frischschmelze die Form einer Kolbenströmung an und dies hat positive Auswirkungen auf die Qualität des Produktes, insbesondere auf die Reinheit des Stahles. Weiterhin wird die Homogenität verbessert und Verunreinigungen werden vermindert.After a short stretch of flow, the one that flows into the swamp takes off Fresh melt in the form of a piston flow and this has positive Effects on the quality of the product, especially on the purity of the Stole it. Furthermore, the homogeneity is improved and impurities reduced.

Der so erzeugte Stahl weist einen besonderen Reinheitsgrad auf.The steel produced in this way has a particular degree of purity.

Eine weitere Folge der nur geringen Eindringtiefe in den Sumpf ist die Möglichkeit, bei einem Qualitätswechsel während des Abgießens auf der Stranggießanlage eine nur geringe Mischungslänge zu bewirken und damit ein nur kurzes Stück nicht gewollter Brammenstahlqualität zu erzeugen.Another consequence of the low depth of penetration into the swamp is the possibility of a quality change during casting on the continuous caster is only one to cause short mixture length and thus a short piece of unwanted To produce slab steel quality.
