Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for avoiding G stealadorschwankungen during a casting sequence for casting metals in a G confusestrang.
  • the invention relates in particular G manualschwankungen as they occur as a result of so-called dynamic bulging.
  • This term refers to the phenomenon that under constant casting conditions during a casting sequence, no or only very low pouring mirror fluctuations occur below a predetermined critical threshold value over a long period of time, and then suddenly the pouring mirror oscillations oscillate beyond the said threshold value for no apparent reason. This behavior is similar to the resonance behavior of a vibratory system when it is excited at its natural frequency. Without countermeasures, the casting sequence would have to be aborted.
  • the current casting speed by about 0.1 m / min. reduced.
  • the cooling is raised as a countermeasure, this is preferably done in the cooling zone along the strand guide, where the dynamic bulging occurs, or there, in the zone where the causes for the dynamic Bulging are suspected. It is known to determine this cooling zone in question, for example, by a frequency analysis, wherein the frequency of the G manLiteschwankungen compared with the roller distances and so can be deduced on the relevant zone or the relevant segment.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object, a known method for avoiding critical G manapttikschwankache to that effect to further develop that said disadvantages in the fight against occurred dynamic Bulging be avoided.
  • the inventive method is particularly suitable for casting processes that are susceptible to G confuseadorschwankept. These are in particular current casting processes in which dynamic bulging had already occurred once. Also susceptible are new casting processes which are similar in form, i. H. with similar materials, dimensions, casting speeds, casting powder, etc., have been performed before in the past and at that time had often encountered dynamic bulging.
  • the interval ranges within which the casting parameters are changed according to step b) are substantially smaller than the interval ranges within which the G intelligentparameter according to step a) to be changed.
  • the method steps in particular the monitoring of the G recognizeadorschwankache with respect to the undershooting or exceeding a predetermined threshold during a G mansequenz, repeated or continuously.
  • the casting parameters are reset from the subset and / or the successive change of the individual randomly selected casting parameters according to b) only after a predetermined waiting time dtB> 0, for example 10 Minutes, if no monitoring of the level of the pouring glass above the threshold was detected during this monitoring period.
  • a predetermined waiting time dtB also the time between the change of pouring parameters, in other words the time until the next preventive change of a pouring parameter Casting parameter, but primarily serves to establish and define that there is no dynamic bulging.
  • the waiting time dtB is always greater than the dead time dtT selected.
  • the method according to the invention also provides in this case for carrying out step a) in claim 1 with strong changes of the casting parameters from the subset.
  • the casting process is continuously or continuously monitored for the occurrence of dynamic bulging. Specifically, this is done by monitoring the pouring level in the mold with regard to exceeding a predetermined threshold. If the G confuseschwankacheschwankungen exceed the predetermined threshold, the presence of Bulging is concluded; as long as the threshold falls below, it is assumed that no bulging exists.
  • the idle time dtT is initially pre-occupied with 0 and immediately either the cooling is amplified, i. H. the amount of spray increases, for example by 10%, or the casting speed is reduced, for example also by 10%. Subsequently, the said dead time is redetermined depending on the actual casting speed and / or the position within the strand guide, where the emergence of the dynamic Bulgings is suspected. This position can be determined, for example, with the aid of the method of frequency analysis known in the prior art.
  • the predetermined waiting time dtB is reduced, for example halved.
  • the monitoring of the casting process for bulging continues, in particular to determine whether the change in cooling or casting speed made has had an effect on the desired damping of the dynamic bulge.
  • Another change to the said parameters cooling or casting speed takes place only after the dead time redefined in the last run dtT. As long as this dead time has not been exceeded, the monitoring is continued continuously with respect to the dynamic bulging, but without the cooling or the casting speed being changed.
  • a parameter from a predefined set of pouring parameters is randomly selected, and initially, if this parameter has not yet been changed - initially changed in the plus direction. Meanwhile, and thereafter, the casting process is further monitored for dynamic bulging, and when the waiting time dtB has been exceeded again, a pouring parameter from the set of pouring parameters is randomly selected and changed. If the same parameter has already been changed, it will now be changed in the opposite direction to its original direction of change.
  • the said quantity of pouring parameters includes said subset of pouring parameters. Only one pouring parameter is randomly selected and then changed. It is not intended to change several casting parameters at the same time.
  • the waiting time is not yet been exceeded, the monitoring is continued without changing a casting parameter until the waiting time is exceeded again. In other words, within the expiration of a waiting period, only one (number word) pouring parameter is ever changed.
  • interval ranges in which the casting parameters according to the inventive method are preventively changed to avoid future dynamic bulging are as follows: - casting speed +/- 0.02m / min; - Height of the water level +/- 5 mm; - Liquid Core Reduction LCR +/- 0.5 mm; - Dip tube depth +/- 10 mm; - casting width +/- 5 mm; - target temperatures +/- 2 ° C; - Power of cooling (spray water volumes) +/- 2%.
