Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the continuous casting of a thin strip or a thin slab, in particular made of steel in a thickness between 2 and 20 mm, by pouring a melt into a continuous mold supporting the strand by means of mold broad side walls on the two broad sides, the strand while reducing its thickness as a result of broad side walls converging in the direction of flow, the continuous mold is moved through the continuous mold, and a device for carrying out the method.
- the invention aims to avoid these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to provide a method of the type described above and an apparatus for carrying out the method, which enable proper support and guidance of the narrow sides of the strand.
- leakage of the melt due to a leak in the continuous mold as well as sticking of the still thin strand shell and thus tearing it open should be reliably prevented.
- This object is achieved in a method of the type described in the introduction in that between the mold broad side walls endless and deformable transverse to their longitudinal direction and forming the narrow sides of the strand or the mold sealing strip continuously in the longitudinal direction of the strand at a speed corresponding to the pulling speed of the strand be introduced that the melt solidifies on the sealing strips, the sealing strips come in tight contact with the mold broad side walls and are arched in the transverse direction when the strand is moved in the pull-out direction in accordance with the reduction in thickness of the strand.
- the sealing strips come into contact with both broad sides of the okille passage and each form a bridge between the broad sides and thus prevent the liquid steel from escaping from the side. They enable the formation of a strand shell and do not prevent the shell from running out of the casting gap, because the sealing strips deform in the same way as the strand shell that forms on them.
- a process for continuous casting is known from AT-B 283 614, in which the melt is poured into a space which is formed from a number of steel strips which move downwards in the vertical direction in synchronism with the t * pull-out speed of the strand.
- the steel strips are inseparably connected to one another at their longitudinal edges to form a housing which is closed in cross section.
- the housing thus formed itself becomes the outer skin of the steel strand, which completely encloses the strand.
- This method is not only very complex due to the sheet metal requirement, but also complicated, since a complete sealing of the housing on its longitudinal edges is difficult to achieve.
- a sheet metal strip that comes into contact with the melt is not deformed because the cross section of the strand remains constant over its length, apart from shrinkage.
- the sealing strips are pre-arched in the transverse direction before or upon entering the continuous mold.
- continuous casting is advantageously carried out using the casting and rolling method.
- sealing strips are advantageously used whose liguidus temperature is higher than the liguidus temperature of the melt to be cast, the sealing strips advantageously being cooled from the outside.
- the sealing strips are expediently used with regard to the between the broad side walls of the mold lying symmetry plane of the continuous mold fed asymmetrically.
- the strand is advantageously trimmed during the casting while removing the sealing strips.
- a device for carrying out the process with a continuous mold having a mold broad side walls and having a cross-section tapering in the strand pulling direction across the mold wide side walls is characterized in that the mold wide side walls in their lateral end regions extend over the height of the mold for receiving in the pulling direction and at the pulling speed of the strand moving through the continuous mold and forming the mold narrow side walls, sealing strips which sealing strips can be introduced between the mold wide side walls by means of a feed device, a particularly simple embodiment being characterized in that the width of the Sealing strip is dimensioned larger than the width of the mold cavity of the continuous mold at the level of the pouring level.
- Good tightness can be achieved in a particularly simple manner by providing a preforming device, in particular profile rollers, for curving the sealing strips in the transverse direction before entering the continuous mold.
- the casting rolls each have a peripheral circumferential recess in their lateral end regions have, the depth of which corresponds to the thickness of a sealing strip.
- the sealing strips have an outward curvature, the sealing strips advantageously having flange regions directed to the side of the region that bulges outwards in the middle, parallel to the mold broad sides, which form the edge regions of the sealing strips and which extend outwards to the lateral ends of the Extend the mold broad side walls and support them on one step on each broad side wall.
- the broad mold side walls are provided on each of the two lateral end regions with a two-stage recess, which each serve to accommodate the longitudinal side edge region of the strand encased by the sealing strip.
- the sealing strips are provided with a curvature inwards towards the center of the mold.
- the casting rollers are advantageously provided in their lateral end regions with a bead directed towards the opposite casting roller, which constrictions in the longitudinal side edge regions of the strand or with the formation of a closed caliber cause a separation of the longitudinal side edge regions of the strand.
- the casting rolls are expedient at their ends each provided with a roller head which has the recesses or the beads, the roller heads being arranged interchangeably on the casting rollers.
- the casting rollers advantageously form a casting gap which is inclined in the thickness direction of the strand.
- support devices such as support rollers for supporting the sealing strips are expediently provided on the side of the wide mold side walls.
- cooling devices for cooling the sealing strips are advantageously provided on the side of the broad mold side walls.
- the sealing strips are expediently made of soft, easily deformable steel.
- FIG. 1 showing a device in diagonal outline suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- 2 and 3 are sectional views of the cuts taken along lines II-II (just below the casting level) and III-III (at the level of the casting gap) of FIG. 1.
- 4 and 5, 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 each represent a further embodiment in the representations analogous to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- a preferred embodiment is shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, FIG. 10 being a side view and Figs. 11, 12 and 13 Illustrate sectional views along the lines XI-XI, XII-XII and XIII-XIII.
- 14 to 17 show a further embodiment in a representation analogous to FIGS. 10 to 13.
- the continuous casting apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a continuous mold 3 formed from two mutually parallel and arranged with horizontal axes 1, rotatable by means of a drive and provided with internal cooling casting rolls 2, between which there is a gap 4 in thickness pouring cross section is set.
- the narrowest distance (thickness 4 of the casting gap 9, see FIG. 3) of the surfaces 5 of the casting rolls 2 is approximately 1 to 50 mm, preferably 2 to 20 mm, corresponding to the desired thickness of the hot strip to be cast; it can be adjusted to different dimensions according to the casting program.
- An intermediate container (not shown), which is filled with the melt to be cast, preferably steel melt 6, is positioned above the casting rolls 2.
- two pouring tubes 7 are fastened, which protrude below the casting level 8 of the melt 6 poured in between the casting rollers 2.
- the number of pouring tube 7 can be varied depending on the strand width.
- sealing strips 10 which are preferably formed by a relatively soft steel strip, the endless sealing strips being moved through the continuous mold 3 at a casting speed.
- a sealing strip 10 is inserted between the end regions 11 of the casting rolls 2 at one end thereof and thus forms a narrow side wall of the continuous mold.
- the sealing strips 10, the width of which is dimensioned larger than the width 12 of the mold cavity receiving the melt 3 at the level of the casting mirror 8, are fed into the continuous mold 3 by means of a feed and preforming device with profile rollers 13 - only one of which is shown - guided and preformed so that they have a curvature in the transverse direction and rest with their longitudinal edges 14 on the surfaces 5 of the casting rolls 2.
- the casting rolls 2 have at their end regions 11 annular recesses 15, in which the sealing strips 10 come to rest, the longitudinal edges 14 of the sealing strips 10 abutting the steps 16 delimiting the recesses 15 and thus ensure good tightness. At the same time, good guidance of the sealing strip 10 is achieved.
- the depth 17 of the recesses 15 is equal to the thickness 18 of the sealing strips 10, so that the strand shell 19 which forms does not have any longitudinal deformations at the transition from the sealing strips 10 to the casting rolls 2.
- the sealing strips 10 pass between the casting rolls 2, the sealing strips 10 are deformed until the distance between the longitudinal edges 14 of a sealing strip 10 and the thickness 9 of the strand 20 when it exits the continuous mold 3 corresponds.
- the curvature of the sealing strip 10 in front of the inlet specifies the direction of the deformation - whether inwards or outwards.
- the sealing strips 10 are moved in the longitudinal direction through the continuous mold 3 at the rate at which the strand 20 is pulled out. Through the contact of the melt 6 with the sealing strips 10, these quickly reach a high temperature level and thus become very ductile. However, the contact times of the sealing strips 10 with the melt 6 are so short that there is no melting of the sealing strips 10. If there is a risk of melting, the sealing strips 10 appropriately cooled from the outside, such as by spraying with a coolant 21 by means of nozzles 22.
- the sealing strips 10 are welded or rolled onto the longitudinal edge regions 27 of the strand 20; they are subsequently separated from the strand 20, for example by trimming.
- the bottom of the sump can be in the pull-out direction at the exit point or after the exit of the strand 20 from the continuous mold 3 or by applying a corresponding pressure to the casting rolls 2, whereby the thickness 9 of the strand 20 by the clashing of the shells 19 of the strand 20 or by their Rolling is reduced, lie within the continuous mold 3.
- the casting rolls 2 have removable roll heads 28 at their ends, in which the recesses 15 receiving the sealing strips are provided.
- the width 29 of the strand 20 can also be changed in a simple manner by using roller heads with different longitudinal extensions 30.
- the U-shaped embodiment is pre-profiled Sealing strip 10 with longitudinal edges 14 facing outwards is used, the longitudinal edges being supported on the outside shoulders 31 of the recesses 15 of the casting rolls 2 and the sealing strips 10 folding in on the inside shoulders 16 of the casting rolls 2 in accordance with the increase in the width of the strand 20.
- the flat support of the flange regions 32 of the sealing strips 10 in the recesses 15 of the casting rolls 2 or of the roll heads 28 results in a very good seal.
- roller heads 28 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 have a two-stage recess 15. In this embodiment, there is a narrower surface support of the sealing strips 10, so that the sealing strips 10 of smaller width are sufficient.
- the sealing strips 10 are curved inwards and are supported with their longitudinal edges 14 in each case on an outside collar 31 of the roller body 28 similarly to the variant shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, so that also here own support rollers for absorbing the ferrostatic pressure are unnecessary.
- the casting rolls 2 also have an integrated pair of scissors 33 for trimming the strand 20, which is formed by the tapered annular beads 33 of the roll bodies 28. As a result, a closed caliber is formed for the finished strand 20.
- Such a pair of scissors can of course be provided in all of the embodiments shown.
- the casting gap 9 formed by the casting rolls 2 is inclined.
- the liquid sump between the casting rolls 2 is small, so that the width of the sealing strip 10 can be kept small despite good tightness.
- the sealing strips 10, which are initially folded angularly in cross section, are fed tangentially to the circumference of only one of the casting rolls 2 by means of guide rollers 34, 35 and are bent around this casting roll 2 over a partial area of their circumference, as a result of which the cross section of the sealing strips becomes more acute (see FIG. 12 ).
- casting speeds of between 20 and 80 m / min are possible, as a result of which 20 high casting capacities can be achieved even with relatively thin strands.
- the method and the device according to the invention can be used not only for the continuous casting of steel, but also of other metals, the quality of the sealing strips being adapted to the metal to be cast.
