Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a cast metal strip using two casting rolls and two side plates, which together form a melting space and a casting gap, wherein molten metal is fed into the melting space, which forms a melt bath with an open-up bath surface in the melting space and from a cast metal strip is conveyed through the casting gap to the melting space and a delimited surface area is formed on the bath surface under the action of at least one gas jet to collect particles foreign to the melt, and a two-roll casting device for this purpose.
- the invention relates to a casting method for producing a continuously cast steel strip having a strip thickness between 0.5 mm and 10 mm using a two-roll caster with substantially vertically downwardly directed application of the cast steel strip.
- a Zweiwalzeng screen with vertical discharge of a metal strip is well known and this consists, as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, of two driven, counter-rotating casting rolls 1, 2 and two side plates 3, 4, preferably at the end faces of the casting rolls these are employed and thus form a melting space 5 for receiving molten metal introduced by a submersible pouring tube 6.
- the two axes of rotation of the casting rolls lie in a horizontal plane and are arranged parallel to each other at a distance, so that between the casting rolls a casting gap 7 is formed, which is limited in its longitudinal extent by the side plates and thus has a cross section corresponding to the cross section of the desired cast strip equivalent.
- non-metallic, non-metallic particles are entrained. These float to the bath surface, where they are agglomerated, also together with melt-extruded particles generated in the mold melt bath by chemical reaction with refractory material or by reoxidation, and are stored mainly at the contact line with the casting rolls directly at the casting roll shell surface in the strand bowls and At the surface and in the near-surface area of the cast metal strip form inclusions and microcracks for macro and microcracks.
- a two-roll caster and a casting method for potting a molten metal according to the described prior art is already known, for example, from JP-A 2001-314946, WO 02/083343 and JP-A 2-207946.
- JP-A 2001-314946 In order to keep molten foreign particles away from the contact line of the casting roll surface with the bath mirror surface, it is proposed in JP-A 2001-314946 to apply gas jets in the region of this contact line which cause the extraneous particles to drift off to the center of the melt pool.
- the gas jets spread over a portion of the casting roll surface and an edge region of the bath mirror surface, causing bath sway and temperature variations on the casting surface in a sensitive region, depending on the intensity and temperature of the gas jets, which affect strand growth.
- largely uniform starting conditions for strand shell formation in this area are particularly important for the end product.
- the invention relates to a method for producing a cast metal strip using two casting rolls and two side plates, which together form a melting space and a casting gap, wherein molten metal is fed into the melting space, which forms a melt bath with an open-up bath surface in the melting space and from a cast metal strip is conveyed through the casting gap to the melting space and a delimited surface area is formed on the bath surface under the action of at least one gas jet to collect particles foreign to the melt, and a two-roll casting device for this purpose.
- the invention relates to a casting method for producing a continuously cast steel strip having a strip thickness between 0.5 mm and 10 mm using a two-roll caster with substantially vertically downwardly directed application of the cast steel strip.
- a Zweiwalzeng screen with vertical discharge of a metal strip is well known and this consists, as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, of two driven, counter-rotating casting rolls 1, 2 and two side plates 3, 4, preferably at the end faces of the casting rolls these are employed and thus form a melting space 5 for receiving molten metal introduced by a submersible pouring tube 6.
- the two axes of rotation of the casting rolls lie in a horizontal plane and are arranged parallel to each other at a distance, so that between the casting rolls a casting gap 7 is formed, which is limited in its longitudinal extent by the side plates and thus has a cross section corresponding to the cross section of the desired cast strip equivalent.
- non-metallic, non-metallic particles are entrained. These float to the bath surface, where they are agglomerated, also together with melt-extruded particles generated in the mold melt bath by chemical reaction with refractory material or by reoxidation, and are stored mainly at the contact line with the casting rolls directly at the casting roll shell surface in the strand bowls and At the surface and in the near-surface area of the cast metal strip form inclusions and microcracks for macro and microcracks.
- a two-roll caster and a casting method for potting a molten metal according to the described prior art is already known, for example, from JP-A 2001-314946, WO 02/083343 and JP-A 2-207946.
- JP-A 2001-314946 In order to keep molten foreign particles away from the contact line of the casting roll surface with the bath mirror surface, it is proposed in JP-A 2001-314946 to apply gas jets in the region of this contact line which cause the extraneous particles to drift off to the center of the melt pool.
- the gas jets spread over a portion of the casting roll surface and an edge region of the bath mirror surface, causing bath sway and temperature variations on the casting surface in a sensitive region, depending on the intensity and temperature of the gas jets, which affect strand growth.
- largely uniform starting conditions for strand shell formation in this area are particularly important for the end product.
- drifting of molten foreign particles entrained into the melt bath to the contact line of the metal bath with the mantle surfaces of the casting rolls during the current casting operation obliquely into the metal bath avoid immersion shields whose lower edges are positioned below the level of the outlet openings of the Tauchg bankrohres.
- a melt pool is to be created in the melting space, in which a separation of the non-metallic particles is made possible.
- the metal strip continuously produced by the two-roll caster is wound into coils and at each end of the winding process of a single covenant the shields are removed from the metal bath and the particles deposited on the bath surface are blown with gas nozzles to at least one of the casting roll surfaces and thus with a short piece of the metal strip discharged.
- the main disadvantage of this method is that it produces a piece of broke after each cast coil, which interrupts the continuous production process and increases the reject rate of production.
- molten metal deposits on the shields, which solidifies each time the shield is raised. If the shield consists of refractory material, additionally eroded particles of the refractory material are introduced into the melt, or it comes to chemical reactions between the liquid steel and the refractory material, which also produce impurities.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages of the described prior art and to propose a method for producing a cast metal strip and a Zweiwalzeng screen listening, the entry of extraneous particles on or into the surface or in the near-surface region of the cast Bandes is largely avoided, reaches a largely trouble-free and delimited by a wave formation on the bath surface line of contact between the bath surface and the Gellowalzenmantel specifications while oxygen contact with the bath surface is largely avoided.
- This object is achieved on the basis of a method of the type mentioned above in that the at least one gas jet is directed at a distance of the gas jet axis from the contact line of the bath surface with the casting roll on the bath surface.
- the at least one gas jet is formed in such a way that no gaps remain along the delimited surface area, through which particles foreign to the melt can escape.
- the delimited surface region can be formed by a gas jet forming a closed ring with an arbitrary outer contour or a plurality of successive gas jets.
- an inert or reducing protective gas atmosphere is generated and maintained, which virtually precludes reoxidation of the molten metal, especially in the case of metal melts which are prone to oxidation, such as steel, above the metal bath and within a melt space which is sealed off as best as possible.
- the at least one gas jet is directed directly at the bath surface. This achieves a quiet edge strip, which remains largely untouched by wave formation on the bath surface, between the contact region of the gas jet with the bath surface and the casting rolls and / or side plates delimiting the melt space. This measure greatly supports a consistently uniform and undisturbed strand shell formation on the mantle surfaces of the casting rolls rotating in accordance with the casting speed, provided that the casting roll surfaces run optimally stable, homogeneously uniformly and function.
- the at least one gas jet is directed at an angle of 25 ° to 145 °, preferably at an angle of 35 ° to 90 °, relative to a horizontal plane, against the bath surface.
- the bath surface corresponds essentially to this horizontal plane.
- Each gas jet is assigned a gas jet axis.
- the at least one gas jet is directed at a distance of the gas jet axis from the contact line of the bath surface with the casting roll and / or from the contact line of the bath surface with the side plate on the bath surface. This distance is preferably constant and is in a range between 10 mm and 50 mm and is measured on the bath surface. Since the side plates are substantially stationary in contrast to the rotating casting rolls, the at least one gas jet may be directed at the side plate surface at a distance from the line of contact of the bath surface with the side plate, and at least a partial stream of the gas jet is effectively deflected onto the bath surface.
- the gas jet or the gas jets are preferably designed as flat jets and emerge from a correspondingly shaped nozzle.
- a plurality of nozzles are arranged one behind the other, so that a contiguous narrow gas jet, similar to a gas meter, is generated.
- the at least one gas jet is formed as a partially curved flat jet.
- the gas jet After emerging from the gas jet nozzle, the gas jet diverges in the flow direction with an opening angle between 10 ° and 35 °.
- the divergent gas jet For the uniform and stable formation of a strand shell, it is necessary for the divergent gas jet to impinge entirely on the bath surface and not be directed in part onto the shell surface of the casting roll.
- the side plates which optionally perform an oscillation movement, a direct contact of the gas jet with the side plate is quite permissible, since disadvantageous influences, as in the lateral surfaces of the casting rolls, do not occur here.
- the at least one gas jet between the two side plates acts without interruption parallel or obliquely to the contact line of the bath surface with the casting roll on the bath surface. This ensures continuous shielding of the casting roll surface against contact with foreign particles.
- a continuous discharge of the particles to the side plates and thus into the edge zone of the cast metal strip is possible and desirable because the cast metal strip at least before winding in a downstream coiler undergoes trimming, which is not necessarily located within the actual two-roll caster, and thus Targeted enrichment with non-metallic inclusions in this area will not cause additional waste material.
- the at least one gas jet between the two casting rolls acts without interruption parallel to the contact line of the bath surface with the side plate on the bath surface.
- a corresponding shielding achieved.
- a further improvement in the containment of the foreign particles is achieved if at least sections of at least two gas jets act at a distance from one another on the bath surface. Especially along the line of contact between the casting roll shell surface and the bath surface, this measure has an improving effect on the strip surface quality.
- the two gas jets are arranged equidistant from each other.
- Components of the two-roll caster which form the melt space or are arranged directly therein, can be incorporated in the formation of the delimited surface area with gas jets.
- the delimited surface area is formed in sections of at least one gas jet and sections of sections of the side plates or the casting rolls or a Tauchg facedrohres or other installations.
- a gap-free bow wave ie a bulge extending parallel to the direction of extension of a flat jet on the bath surface, which at least partially encloses the delimited surface region, is formed by the at least one gas jet impinging on the metal bath at an angle.
- the bow wave may be self-contained and thus form this delimited surface area, or in conjunction with components of the two-roll caster, such as portions of the side plates or casting rolls or a Immersion pouring tube or other internals, form a delimited surface area.
- the bow wave formed by the gas jets is kept substantially constant at a height of 0.05 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 0.1 mm to 3 mm, above the Badobervid- normal level. This creates a reservoir for the molten particles and keeps the particles there until a targeted discharge is carried out or automatically takes place at the end of the pouring.
- an inert or reducing gas is used so that reoxidation of the molten metal at the bath surface in this area does not occur.
- Argon, nitrogen, N + H2 or mixtures of at least two of these gases can be used as preferred gases.
- the method according to the invention should only be used in the starting phase of a casting process when a Bethebsbadaptiere altar is reached and thus a substantial stabilization and calming of the molten metal in the melt space and in particular the bath surface has occurred. Therefore, the action of at least one gas jet on the bath surface during the starting phase of the casting process is suitably switched on only 10 seconds to 2 minutes after the beginning of the melt introduction into the melting chamber (casting start).
- a Zweiwalzengit adopted for producing a cast metal strip of the type described above with two rotationally driven casting rolls and adjacent to the end faces of the casting rolls side plates, which together form a melting space for receiving a melt bath with a bath surface and a casting gap proposed.
- At least one gas jet nozzle with an outlet opening for a directed gas jet is arranged in the melting space or in the melting space so that a delimited surface area is formed on the bath surface for the collection of foreign particles.
- a two-roller caster designed in this way is characterized in that the outlet opening of the gas jet nozzle is directed at a distance from the contact line of the bath surface with the casting roller directly onto the bath surface.
- the melting chamber is protected from access of air at a distance above the bath surface by a cover hood.
- the cover is located on the side plates and the casting rolls with a contact surface or a seal or is kept adjusted in particular to the casting rolls to a narrow gap, wherein introduced into the melting chamber inert gas exits through these gaps and thus prevents the ingress of false air in this melt space.
- the gas jet nozzles protrude at least with their outlet openings through the cover in the melting space and are preferably attached to the cover and aligned.
- the orientation of the outlet opening of the gas jet nozzles determines the direction of the exiting gas jet.
- the orientation of the nozzle axis in the outlet cross section of the gas jet nozzle corresponds to the orientation of the gas jet axis of the gas jet in the cross section of the outlet opening. Since the outlet openings of the gas jet nozzle and thus the defined nozzle axis in the outlet opening of the gas jet nozzle are directed directly onto the bath surface, the drifting of foreign particles into unwanted zones of the bath surface is avoided.
- Favorable conditions for this are achieved if the distance of the gas jet axis directed onto the bath surface from the Contact line of the bath surface with the casting roll is in a range of 10 mm to 50 mm measured on the bath surface.
- the gas jet nozzle is designed as a flat jet nozzle or slot nozzle with a slot-shaped outlet opening.
- the outlet opening of the gas jet nozzle is directed at a distance from the contact line of the bath surface with the side plate directly on the bath surface.
- a beneficial effect occurs when the outlet of the gas jet nozzle between the two side plates, optionally leaving a distance to the side plates, parallel to the line of contact of the bath surface with the casting roll is directed to the bath surface.
- a local undercooling of the side plates under the action of a continuous gas jet is avoided when the outlet of the gas jet nozzle between the two casting rolls, optionally leaving a distance to the casting rolls, parallel to the contact line of the bath surface with the side plate is directed to the bath surface.
- Local undercooling of the casting roll surface is avoided if the outlet opening of the gas jet nozzle between the two casting rolls, optionally leaving a distance to the casting rolls, parallel to the contact line of the bath surface with the side plate on the bath surface.
- An improved shielding of the foreign particles is achieved when a gas jet nozzle with two, substantially equidistant outlet openings for directed gas jets is provided or two gas jets are each provided with an outlet opening, wherein the outlet openings are arranged so that on the Bath surface is formed a doubly delimited surface area for collection of foreign particles.
- a self-contained delimited area for the collection of molten foreign particles is achieved when the exit openings of at least one gas jet nozzle are aligned with the bath surface so as to form a delimited surface area on the bath surface under the action of gas jets.
- the outlet openings of at least one gas jet nozzle are aligned with the bath surface in such a way that they form a delimited surface area on the bath surface together with sections of the casting rolls or the side plates or other internals in the melt bath under the action of gas jets.

- Fig. 9 shows a gas jet nozzle with two outlet openings.
- FIG. 1 The principle underlying the method according to the invention is shown in FIG.
- a melting space 5 is formed, in which molten steel is fed, which is fed continuously via an immersion casting tube 6.
- the melt bath forms a bath surface 8, which extends between the two casting rolls 1, 2.
- strand shells 12 are formed, which fuse in the casting gap 7 to the metal strip 13.
- gas jet nozzles 16 are arranged, wherein the outlet openings 17, and whose nozzle axes 18 in the outlet cross section of the outlet opening 17 are directed obliquely against the bath surface 8.
- the exiting gas jets 20 with the gas jet axes 21 generate on the bath surface 8 a bow wave 24 of a certain height, which is substantially co-determined by the flow velocity of the gas jets and the impact pressure on the bath surface.
- the gas jet nozzles 16 are connected to supply lines 26, by which they are supplied with an inert or reducing gas. On the supply lines, which preferably form a loop, a plurality of gas jet nozzles are connected.
- the outlet opening 17 or the nozzle axis 18 of the gas jet nozzle 16 is directed onto the bath surface 8, so that the gas jets 20 directly onto the bath surface impinge and create a bow wave 24.
- the angle ⁇ is determined here from the casting roll side, as shown in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 5 shows the bath surface 8 between two casting rolls 1, 2 and two side plates 3, 4. Above the bath surface 8, gas jet nozzles 16 are positioned parallel to the casting rolls and parallel to the side plates and generate directional gas jets 20 against the bath surface 8. They border one a substantially rectangular delimited surface area 30 on the bath surface 8, in which collect the foreign particles.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a further advantageous embodiment for forming two delimited surface regions 30.
- Gas jet nozzles 16 are aligned here with an angular position to the casting rolls 1, 2 and accordingly form a bow wave oriented obliquely to the casting rolls.
- the immersion casting tube 6 immersed in the center of the melt bath is integrated into the formation of the delimited surface area 30 and delimits this surface area in a partial section.
- the approximately V-shaped configuration of the two delimited surface regions 30 allows the particular advantage of a continuous discharge of foreign particles to the side plates 3, 4 and thus in the outermost edge regions of the cast steel strip.
- FIG. 1 A possible embodiment for the integration of gas jet nozzles into the cover 9 which shields the melt bath from false air inlet is shown in FIG.
- the cover 9 is positioned with not shown Abstützungen above the bath surface 8 with a small distance to the casting roll surfaces 14, 15 between them.
- the cover 9 is provided with passages or peripheral recesses, of which only one such passage 31 is shown, in which a gas jet nozzle 16 is inserted and screwed to a console 32 of the cover 9.
- the gas jet nozzle 16 is as a slot or Flat jet nozzle formed with a slot-shaped outlet opening 17 and has a straight at least in the end region outlet channel 19.
- a very narrow, bundled and directed against the bath surface 8 gas jet 20 is generated, which forms the bow wave 24.
- FIG. 8 A further advantageous embodiment for forming a delimited surface region 25 is illustrated in FIG. 8.
- Gas jet nozzles 16 are arranged on all sides at a distance from the bath surface 8 and its edges to the casting rolls 1, 2 and the side plates 3, 4 and directed with their outlet openings on the bath surface, in a partial section along the delimited surface area along the casting roll longitudinal extent are two rows of gas jet nozzles 16a, 16b,... aligned parallel to one another, which form gas jets 20a, 20b,... parallel to one another as illustrated in FIG.
- gas jet nozzles can be used with two outlet openings. In both cases, a double bow wave is generated.
- FIG. 9 shows a gas jet nozzle 16 with two outlet openings 17a, 17b and with outlet channels 19a, 19b diverging in the gas flow direction.
- the outlet channels can also run parallel to one another.
- the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described embodiments, but can be modified many times. It is also possible to arrange adjoining gas jets forming a defined surface area and the associated gas jet nozzles so that the gas jets are directed in a peripheral portion of the delimited surface area directly against the bath surface and in another portion of the G confusewalzenober Structure or side plates.
