Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing aluminum strip in a coupled casting and rolling process.
- WO 2019/01 02841 discloses a method for producing an aluminum product from a cast aluminum strip, in which a hot strip is first produced by means of at least one strip casting machine and is then hot-rolled.
- DE 69319217 T2 discloses a process for the production of can body sheet metal, which involves the continuous hot rolling of a feedstock consisting of hot aluminum in order to reduce its thickness and the winding of the hot-rolled, still hot feedstock and holding the feed strip, which is reduced in thickness in the hot state at or near the initial temperature of hot rolling, thereafter uncoiling the hot coiled feedstock and immediately thereafter rapidly quenching the tempered feedstock to a temperature suitable for cold rolling.
- the process is carried out as a continuous "in-line" process.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which a high proportion of aluminum scrap can be processed as aluminum raw material or starting material for the production of aluminum strip in an industrially usable quality.
- the invention is also based on the object of providing an aluminum material that was obtained using a high proportion of aluminum scrap.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a casting and rolling installation which is particularly suitable for the method according to the invention.
- a method for producing aluminum strip in a coupled casting-rolling process is provided, which is preferably operated as a continuous casting-rolling process, which comprises the following method steps: a) melting an aluminum raw material comprising at least one aluminum alloy in at least one melting unit, b) determining the alloy composition of the melt c) casting the melt to form a cast strip using at least one strip casting machine, d) rolling the hot strip in a rolling mill comprising at least one rolling device for forming the hot strip for the purpose of reducing the thickness and/or width, and e) regulating and/or controlling at least one forming parameter of the rolling mill depending on the alloy composition of the melt.
- Coupled within the meaning of the present invention means that the casting process and the rolling process are connected to one another in terms of process technology and with regard to the material flow.
- the melting of the aluminum raw material, casting and rolling can also take place continuously, with the throughput speed of the material always being determined by the belt speed during casting.
- the alloy composition of the melt can be determined continuously or in batches.
- the results of the analysis of the alloy composition can be fed online, preferably in real time, to a regulating and/or control device of a casting and rolling plant.
- a suitable method for analyzing the alloy composition of the melt is, for example, a spectral analysis, an X-ray measurement or a similar known measuring method.
- a mixture of electrolytically produced pure aluminum or primary aluminum and aluminum scrap is preferably used as the aluminum raw material.
- the aluminum raw material can contain impurities in the form of, for example, iron, copper, silicon, chromium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, zinc and tin.
- the melt is preferably fed continuously to the at least one strip casting machine via a runner, it being possible for the melt to be filtered in order to withstand any contamination.
- the continuous feeding of the melt into the strip casting machine has the advantage that the level of the melt in front of the pouring nozzle is largely constant and relatively constant pouring conditions can thus be set. As a result, the melting process can be coupled directly with the casting and rolling process.
- At least one forming parameter is preferably selected from a group of parameters comprising a reduction in thickness of the hot strip, a reduction in width of the hot strip, the strip temperature of the hot strip, the rolling speed, the strip tension of the hot strip, the rolling force, the roll deflection, an axial adjustment of at least one roll, the roll gap geometry , the rolling torque, the cooling of the rolls and the lubrication of the rolls.
- the power and work requirements and other forming parameters are adjusted accordingly during rolling. These adjustments can also affect the strip geometry and the rheological roll gap conditions and the influencing the material properties of the aluminum strip or the hot strip, for example by cooling and lubricating devices.
- the regulation includes a pre-control of the rolling mill for a given and/or selected strip length section of the hot strip as a function of the alloy composition determined according to method step b).
- the pre-control particularly preferably includes the specification of at least one setpoint for a thickness and/or profile control of at least one rolling device.
- casting parameters such as the casting thickness, the casting speed and the casting belt temperature can be adjusted in terms of control technology.
- the material hardness H and, similarly, the deformation resistance as a function of the alloy composition can be represented with an exponent to a constant as the basic factor of the material hardness.
- the constant is the basic factor within the alloy group.
- the exponents serve as an exponent of the content in the alloy of the respective element.
- the material hardness H due to the alloy change can be calculated by inserting the contents. This makes it possible to predict the change in the rolling force and thus to precontrol, for example, the contact position of the work rolls of a rolling device in order to produce the (originally) intended rolled product.
- the same algorithm can be used to pre-control the roll gap profile.
- the change in the roll gap profile is carried out on the basis of the expected change in the rolling force by means of a pre-control of the work roll bending device or roll displacement.
- the forming resistance of the hot strip changes as a result of alloy fluctuations.
- the rolling force changes and with it the reduction in thickness of the hot strip.
- a thickness error can be calculated by measuring the rolling force and knowing the reaction forces or rigidity of the rolling device. This thickness error is traced back to an adjustment position of the work rolls with an adjusted reinforcement, with which the target thickness of the hot strip is set. Based on experimental investigations with comparative analysis, relationships between changing circumferential resistances due to analysis fluctuations can be shown using approximate calculations.
- the thickness control can be corrected by means of a pre-control as soon as hot strip with a changed alloy composition enters the rolling device. In this way, a pilot control can specify an additional setpoint value for adjusting at least one rolling device, so that thickness control is possible in this respect is no longer required or only to a small extent.
- the melt has a recycled content, preferably in the form of aluminum scrap, of at least 60 percent by weight, preferably at least 70 percent by weight, more preferably at least 85 percent by weight and particularly preferably at least 95 weight percent.
- the aluminum alloy can be selected from a group comprising the aluminum alloys AA2 XXX, AA5XXX, AA6 XXX and AA7 XXX. These alloy groups have multiple alloy components and are used, among other things, for applications in the electrical and automotive industries.
- the melt is cast into a cast strip with a thickness of 10 mm to a thickness of 30 mm.
- the casting can be carried out, for example, at a casting speed of 4 m/min to 16 m/min.
- Rolling is preferably carried out at a temperature of 150° C. to 600° C., preferably from 300° to 500° C., with a reduction in thickness of 20 to 75 percent per roll stand, based on the initial thickness of the hot strip
- the traveling mold of the strip casting machine can be used as a circulating strip (so-called belt caster) or as a be executed around running blocks (so-called block casters).
- a strip casting machine is understood to mean a casting machine that produces strip-shaped casting material. It is advantageous that the casting takes place at an increased cooling rate and thus at an increased solidification rate compared to the usual slab casting machines, as a result of which impurities are partially kept in solution during casting. Due to the fact that the melt solidifies without moving relative to the mold, there is a very intensive heat transfer and the melt can solidify relatively quickly, which is particularly advantageous because it partially keeps impurities in the melt in solution.

- the aluminum scrap consists, for example, of can scrap obtained from a waste management company and partly of process scrap that is obtained in the method described below.
- the casting and rolling plant 1 also comprises a strip casting machine 6, which is designed, for example, as a so-called belt caster or block caster for the production of cast strip 7, and two roll stands 15 downstream in the transport direction, with which the aluminum strip 2 is reduced in thickness.
- the roll stands 15 are in one arranged a short distance of between 5 m and 20 m behind the strip casting machine 6 in the transport direction.
- the strip casting machine 6 is immediately downstream of a device for cleaning the surface 11 of the cast aluminum strip 2 and cropping shears 12 for separating the casting strip head and/or casting strip foot that occurs when the aluminum strip 2 is cast on and cannot be processed further.
- a device for influencing the temperature 16 can be provided in front of the roll stands 15, which device is designed as a heating and/or cooling device.
- the roll stands 15 each comprise two driven work rolls and two back-up rolls and a hydraulic adjustment system for the work rolls, via which the roll gap can be adjusted.
- the roll stands 15 also each comprise a work roll bending system and means for axial adjustment of the work rolls.
- the aluminum melt 3 produced with the melting units 4 is fed to the belt casting machine 6 via a casting channel 8 with a regulated mass flow.
- a flow controller 9 is provided in the casting channel 8 , which is followed by a filter 10 for filtering impurities in the melt 3 .
- the melt can thus be fed to the casting machine continuously, so that a quasi-continuous casting-melting-rolling process is possible.

- the scrap is first heated until any paint and other organic compounds that may be present evaporate.
- the steam can, for example, be further used as an energy carrier.
- the aluminum is then melted down.
- the chemical composition of the melt is analyzed with the aid of an analysis device 40, for example the proportion of metal impurities in the form of iron, copper, silicon, chromium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, zinc and tin is determined.

- the melt is cast with a thickness of 10 mm to 30 mm, particularly preferably with a thickness of 15 to 25 mm as a casting strip 7, wherein the casting speed is 4 m/min to 16 m/min.
- the rapid solidification of the melt prevents segregation and suppresses the precipitation of impurities in the form of iron, copper, silicon, chromium, nickel, zinc and tin, for example.
- the alloy components remain largely in solution. This makes the casting process more tolerant of contamination. Due to the rigid, accompanying mold of the strip casting machine 6, the solidifying strand does not detach. The heat transfer remains consistently high.
- the solidified cast strip 7 is fed directly to the rolling plant 14 and reduced in thickness to aluminum strip 2 . Due to the fact that there is only a relatively small distance between the rolling installation 14 and the strip casting machine 6, as already explained above, precipitation processes in the rolling stock are prevented.

- the rolling mill is regulated as a function of the alloy composition of the melt 3 , which is determined via the analysis device 40 and is fed to a regulating and/or control device denoted by 50 .
- This controls the actuators of the roll stands 15 accordingly, with a pilot control of the rolling installation 14 being expediently provided for a given or selected strip length section of the casting strip 7 .
- the pilot control includes the specification of at least one setpoint for a thickness and / or profile control at least one of Rolling stands 15.
- the at least one thickness and/or profile control is corrected by means of the pre-control as soon as the cast strip 7 with a certain known alloy composition enters the rolling plant 14.
- the setting of the thickness, reduction in thickness and width of the aluminum strip 2 result from various parameters that define the forming resistance. These parameters include alloy composition, strip temperature, strip tension, roll lubrication, strip lubrication, roll diameter, roll geometry (bending, crowning, crown), rolling force and rolling torque.
- the results of the analysis device 40 for regulating and/or controlling act at least on the rolling mill 14, preferably independently of the casting process and the strip casting machine 6.
- Process step a) denotes the melting of the aluminum raw material
- process step b) the analysis of the alloy composition of the melt
- process step c) the casting of the melt using the strip casting machine 6
- process step d) the rolling of the hot strip.
