Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mold tube made of copper for the continuous casting of metals according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the state of the art includes mold tubes with rectangular inside and External cross sections and with rounded longitudinal edge areas, which a have nominal wall thickness that is 8% to 10% of the distance at the Mouth of each other is frontally opposite inner surfaces.
  • mold tubes the inner surfaces indirectly under the influence of heat dissipating, fed from the outside of the pipe wall To provide cooling media.
  • the mold tubes with the outer contours fitted coats which, together with the outer surfaces
  • the mold tubes form precisely defined gaps, passed through the cooling media become.
  • the cooling media can pass through vertically into the walls of the mold tubes introduced cooling channels flow.
  • the outer Apply cooling media to the surfaces of the mold tubes via spray nozzles.
  • DD 266 753 A counts a continuous casting mold to the prior art, which in their conicity is adjustable.
  • the wall thickness of the Kokillenkanten this is thinner than formed the wall thicknesses of the surfaces.
  • On one or more surfaces of the Continuous casting mold is a device for applying a force to the Outer surface provided so that the surfaces are moved against each other can. This is possible because the wall thickness of the edges is only 0.8 times up 0.05 times the wall thickness of the surfaces corresponds.
  • JP 61276749 A a mold tube is disclosed, which in a certain Height range has a reduced wall thickness to this height range Ultrasonic vibrations better on a molten steel introduced into the mold to be able to transfer.
  • the part reduced in wall thickness has a casting direction measured height, which is an integer multiple of half the wavelength of the applied vibration corresponds. The dimensions are therefore closely related Related to the frequency of the applied vibrations.
  • the invention is - based on the prior art - the object of a Molded copper tube for continuous casting of metals to create especially at casting speeds> 2.5 m / min a perfect transfer ensures the heat from the metal to be cast in a cooling medium.
  • the wall thickness of the rectangular mold tube is in the longitudinal edge regions opposite the wall thickness in the wall areas between the Long edge areas by 10% to 40% smaller sized. This action leads to ensure that the heat is generated even at casting speeds> 2.5 m / min can be properly transferred to the respective cooling medium, and indeed regardless of whether a cooling medium in a gap between a Kokillenrohr and a surrounding the mold tube jacket is performed, whether the Cooling medium flows in cooling channels in the wall of a Kokillenrohrs or whether the outer surfaces of a Kokillenrohrs sprayed directly with a cooling medium become.
  • the wall thickness reduction in the longitudinal edge areas is on a Height range limited, in which the respective bath level of the liquid metal lies.
  • the wall thickness according to the features of claim 2 in the Longitudinal edge areas opposite the wall thickness in the wall areas between the longitudinal edge areas by 25% to 30% smaller.
  • the bath level is in Mold tube in a height range extending from the filling end up to about 500 mm from the filling front side extends.
  • the height level of the bathroom mirror according to the characteristics of Patent claim 4 preferably between 80 mm and 180 mm below the Filling end.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 1 denotes a mold tube made of copper for the continuous casting of Metals, in particular steel, called.
  • the mold tube 1 has a rectangular inner and outer cross section with inside and outside rounded longitudinal edge regions 2.
  • the so-called nominal Wall thickness WD of the wall portions 3 between the longitudinal edge regions 2 amounts 8% to 10% of the distance A at the muzzle 4 frontally opposite each other lying inner surfaces 5.
  • the wall thickness WD1 in the longitudinal edge regions 2 is opposite to the wall thickness WD in the wall regions 3 between the longitudinal edge regions 2 by 10% to 40% smaller.
  • the different wall thicknesses WD and WD1 of the mold tube 1 of FIGS and 2 are present over the entire height H (length) of the mold tube 1.
  • the cooling of the mold tube 1 can according to one indicated in the figure 2 first embodiment carried by a cooling medium having a gap. 6 flows through the between the outer surface 7 of the mold tube 1 and a Sheath 8 is formed, which encloses the mold tube 1 with a defined distance A1.
  • a second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 looks into the wall regions 3 of the mold tube 1 introduced longitudinal channels 9, which with a suitable Be applied cooling medium.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a cooling method which the outer surfaces 7 of the mold tube 1 in partial areas or be cooled in total by means of a cooling medium, which on these surfaces. 7 is sprayed from nozzles 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows a mold tube 1a made of copper for the continuous casting of metals, in which the wall thickness reduction in the longitudinal edge regions 2 on a Height range 11 is limited, in which the level of the not closer illustrated bath level of the liquid metal is located.
  • This altitude range 11 usually extends between the filling end 12 of the mold tube 1a and an area which is about 500 mm below the Ein sparnseite 12.
  • the cooling of the mold tube 1a can be done as the cooling of the mold tube 1. In this respect, a further explanation is unnecessary.
  • the liquid metal bath level illustrated WD2 wall thickness Pipe wall 16 over the entire circumference by 10% to 40% of the nominal Wall thickness WD3 reduced.
  • This height range 14 extends from the Ein Schollstirnseite 12a from about 500 mm in the direction of the pipe mouth 4a.
  • the Badspiegel as such is usually in a height range 15 between 80 mm and 180 mm below the filler end 12a.
  • the nominal wall thickness WD3 is 8% to 10% of the distance A2 of the pipe mouth 4a frontally opposite each other inner surfaces 5a.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 of a mold tube 1b can thus be cooled be as explained with reference to FIG 2. Insofar can on a repeated description will be omitted.
