Abstract

One measures the velocity and the displacement of an object, for example casting velocity and casting length in the continuous casting of a steel string (11) in the tough environment. In the direction of movement of the object (11), along the movement or opposite the movement, one sweeps an eddy-current inducer (12) a predetermined distance over a surface of the object with the sweep overlapping the preceding sweep and compares the received signal, that defines the topography of the surface, with the signal in the preceding sweep by means of correlation analysis so as to get the displacement that has occurred between the steps. One gets also a measurement of the friction in the mould by registering variations in the oscillation superimposed to the string as a result of the oscillation of the mould.

Description

:oh-n 516 uø~ . : oh-n 516 uø ~.

Uppfinningen ska beskrivas använd för mätning på ett stålämne, ett slab, som stränggjuts i en i båda ändar öppen vattenkyld kokill i vars övre del flytande stål tillförs och ämnet som har stelnat skal dras kontinuerligt ut vertikalt nedåt ur kokillen. Kokillen oscilleras i sin längdriktning med en frekvens på 1-2 Hz. l figur 1 visas ämnet 11 och dess rörelseriktning anges med en pil. Kokillen och gjutanordningen visas inte eftersom det rör sig om konventionell teknik som återfinns på internationella patentklassen B22D-011l04. Under kokillen finns en bågformad kylkammare som kan vara ungefär 10 m lång och kyler strängen med vatten. Strängen böjs av och blir horisontell före en kapstation. En virvelströmsgivare 12 monteras beröringsfritt men tätt intill ämnet antingen i kylsträckan eller efter kylsträckan. Virvelströmsgivaren är anordnad att svepa fram och åter en bestämd sträcka i ämnets längdriktning. Den mekaniska anordningen för att utföra rörelsen visas inte. Alternativt till en mekanisk rörelse kan man ha en givare som är mekaniskt orörlig, men som har ett svepande magnetfält; i båda fallen kan man anse att givaren sveper. Virvelströmsgivaren 12 är kopplad till en elektronikbox 13 med styrsystem för givaren och elektronikboxen 13 är kopplad till en dator 14, exempelvis en vanlig PC som har analysmjukvara. Givaren12 och elektronikboxen 13 kan erhållas från specialistföretag och beskrives inte närmare.The invention is to be described as used for measuring a steel blank, a slab, which is extruded into a water-cooled mold at both ends in which the upper part fl surface steel is supplied and the blank which has solidified is continuously drawn vertically downwards out of the mold. The mold oscillates in its longitudinal direction with a frequency of 1-2 Hz. Figure 1 shows the subject 11 and its direction of movement is indicated by an arrow. The mold and the casting device are not shown as these are conventional techniques found in international patent class B22D-011104. Under the mold there is an arcuate cooling chamber that can be about 10 m long and cools the string with water. The string bends off and becomes horizontal before a cutting station. An eddy current sensor 12 is mounted contactlessly but close to the blank either in the cooling section or after the cooling section. The eddy current sensor is arranged to sweep back and forth a certain distance in the longitudinal direction of the blank. The mechanical device for performing the movement is not shown. As an alternative to a mechanical movement, one can have a sensor which is mechanically immobile, but which has a sweeping magnetic field; in both cases it can be considered that the sensor sweeps. The eddy current sensor 12 is connected to an electronics box 13 with control system for the sensor and the electronics box 13 is connected to a computer 14, for example an ordinary PC which has analysis software. The sensor 12 and the electronics box 13 can be obtained from specialist companies and are not described in more detail.

De används konventionellt för sprickindikering.They are conventionally used for crack indication.

När givaren 11 gör ett svep erhålls en signal som återger yttopografin och materialegenskaper, exv slagginneslutningar, nära ytan. l figur 2 visas ett exempel på en signal där signalen återges på ordinatan och sveplängden på abskissan.When the sensor 11 makes a sweep, a signal is obtained which reproduces the surface topography and material properties, eg slag inclusions, close to the surface. Figure 2 shows an example of a signal where the signal is reproduced on the ordinate and the scan length on the abscissa.

Figur 3 återger signalen för svepet före. Med vanlig korrelationsanalys räknar datorn fram den sträcka som ytan, dvs ämnet 11 har förflyttat sig mellan svepen.Figure 3 shows the signal for the sweep before. With standard correlation analysis, the computer calculates the distance that the surface, ie the blank 11, has moved between the sweeps.

Eftersom man vet tiden mellan svepen får man också hastigheten för förflyttningen. Man måste anpassa sveplängd och svepfrekvens till beräknad gjuthastighet så att man får en tillräcklig lång omlottsträcka för att få en säker korrelationsanalys. Man kan mäta i ena riktningen, antingen med eller motsatt gjutriktningen, eller mäta i båda riktningarna a»>»: (ri al» cr. c» NI 'l .uu . 3 Om svepfrekvensen är avsevärt större än kokillens oscillationsfrekvens, exempelvis 10 ggr större, indikeras även eventuell oscillation som är överlagrad ämnets rörelse. Variation i ämnets oscillation beror på variation i friktion mellan ämne och kokill Stor friktion betyder att stora krafter induceras i strängskalet så att risken för sprickbildning ökar. Man kan således genom den beskrivna mätningen och med ett enkelt datorprogram förutsäga risken för sprickbildning, vilket är av utomordentlig vikt för kvalitetssäkringen och kan spara stora kostnader i senare produktionssteg, i första hand i valsningsprocessen. För att få så noggrann mätning av oscillationen som möjligt bör virvelströmsgivaren vara placerad nära kokillen och en virvelströmsmätare kan göras så robust att den klarar den miljön.Since you know the time between sweeps, you also get the speed of the movement. You must adjust the sweep length and sweep frequency to the calculated casting speed so that you get a sufficiently long wrap distance to get a reliable correlation analysis. One can measure in one direction, either with or opposite the casting direction, or measure in both directions a »>»: (ri al »cr. C» NI 'l .uu. 3 If the sweep frequency is considerably greater than the oscillation frequency of the mold, for example 10 times greater, also indicates any oscillation that is superimposed on the motion of the substance.Variation in the oscillation of the substance is due to variation in friction between substance and mold Large friction means that large forces are induced in the string shell so that the risk of crack formation increases. a simple computer program predicts the risk of cracking, which is of paramount importance for quality assurance and can save large costs in later production stages, primarily in the rolling process.To get as accurate measurement of the oscillation as possible, the eddy current sensor should be located near the mold and an eddy current meter can be made so robust that it can withstand that environment.

Mätningssättet är ovan beskrivet för mätning vid stränggjutning, men det kan användas även i andra sammanhang. Det är som ovan beskrivits särskilt lämpat för svåra miljöer.The measurement method is described above for measurement during continuous casting, but it can also be used in other contexts. As described above, it is particularly suitable for difficult environments.
