Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and a system according to the preamble of claim 7. Especially when operating of high-speed systems for slabs and especially in In connection with rolling mill systems, it is important to include the continuous caster at a high and controlled speed.
  • Figure 1 shows this relationship and shows that at high casting speeds, when using casting powder and a certain casting speed of z. B.> 4.5 m / min the mold load remains almost constant and the strand shell load decreases sharply.
  • the reason for this is a constant slag lubrication film at high casting speeds and therefore constant heat transfer, but a shorter dwell time of the strand shell in the mold, which is proportional to the increase in casting speed.
  • the picture makes it clear that with increasing casting speed the mold load no longer rises and the strand shell load decreases, which reduces the risk of cracking but also the strand shell z. B. becomes thinner and hotter at the end of the mold.
  • From US-A-3 478 808 is a method for controlling parameters in one Continuous casting plant for casting steel known.
  • Target values of parameters which were taken from previous casting processes, saved, actual values parameters, a comparison between actual and target values carried out and a regulation of the influencing variables.
  • a parameter are among others the flow rate, the rate of heat removal within the mold and the pull-off speed.
  • the object of the invention is a method and a System for carrying out the method for the controlled operation of a continuous caster for casting slabs, especially thin slabs, with very high To further develop casting speeds.
  • FIG. 3 consists of the sub-figures a), b) and c).
  • FIG. 3 a) shows schematically a slab or bloom block (1), each consisting of two individual narrow sides (1.2), which on the operating side (1.2.1) (NO) and drive side (1.2.2) (ND) with adjusting cylinders (1.2.3) are provided, and two broad sides (1.3), the back (1.3.1) (WF) and the loose side (1.3.2) (WL).
  • the mold (1) can also advantageously be equipped with a pouring funnel (1.1) be provided.
  • the liquid steel (1.4) is covered by the immersion spout (1.5) the bath level (1.7.2) into the mold when using casting powder (1.6) with formation of pouring slag (1.6.1) and a pouring slag film between the mold (1) and strand shell (1.7.1), for lubrication and for heat flow control serves, directed.
  • Figure 3 b) and c) show the specific heat flow in MW / m 2 of the broad side WF, WL (1.3.2) and the narrow sides NO (1.2.1), NO (1.2.2) in normal. inconspicuous casting process, the casting time from start to time tx, at which the steel is in temperature equilibrium with the distributor.
  • the narrow side streams have to show a ratio to the broad sides of ⁇ 1 via the conicity of the narrow sides, which must be kept constant over the casting time.
  • Figure 6 shows the pouring window, formed by the steel temperature in the distributor and the maximum possible casting speed.
  • the diagram in FIG. 6 shows three melts with different distributor temperatures and therefore different maximum possible casting speeds, but for example the same temperature loss of 5 ° C / hour represents.
  • the steel temperature in the distributor at the start of casting is Melt 1,560 ° C and at the end of casting 1,555 ° C, which is a maximum casting speed of 5.0 m / min and at the end of casting 5.85 m / min allowed.
  • the temperature is 1,550 ° C and allows a casting speed of 7.2 m / min and one at the end of casting with a temperature of 1,545 ° C Casting speed of> 8 m / min.
  • the speed of max. 8 m / min can be started when a temperature of approx. 1,548 ° C is reached.
  • Figure 7 shows the structure of a semi-automatic or fully automatic / auto-pilot for casting a high-speed system.
  • the system consists of the steel pan (5), a distributor (6) with a Plug or slide closure (6.1) and a discontinuous or continuous Temperature measurement in the distributor, a continuous caster with oscillating Mold (1) and adjustable narrow sides (12) as well as pull-out rollers (6.3), which are driven by a motor (6.3.1) and the line with controlled Deliver the casting speed (1.8).
  • the fully automatic system corrects the conicity settings of each individual narrow side on the basis of the heat flow conditions between narrow sides and broad sides outside of a narrow side / broad side ratio of, for example 0.8> N W > 0.5 and automatically moves in the maximum possible casting speed, which is possible due to the steel temperature in the distributor and the function set.
  • the invention enables reproductive operation of the continuous casting plant maximum possible productivity while avoiding breakthroughs and controlled String quality possible.
