Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Stahlbandes mit einer Dicke von unter 10 mm durch Gießen eines Stranges in einer gekühlten Durchlaufkokille und anschließendem Zusammendrücken des aus der Kokille austretenden noch nicht durcherstarrten Stranges bis zum Verschweißen der inneren Wandungen der bereits verfestigten Strangschale.The invention relates to a method for producing a steel strip with a thickness of less than 10 mm by casting a strand in a cooled continuous mold and then compressing the strand which has not yet solidified and which emerges from the mold until the inner walls of the strand shell which has already solidified are welded.

Bei einem bekannten Verfahren dieser Art ("Patent Abstracts of Japan", Band 8, Nr. 210 (M-328) 1647, September 26, 1984; JP-A-5997747 (A)) werden die bereits verfestigten Strangschalen des aus der Kokille austretenden noch nicht erstarrten Stahlstranges so weit zusammengedrückt, bis die Dicke des Bandes etwa gleich der doppelten Dicke der bereits verfestigten Strangschale ist. Um dabei ein sicheres Verschweißen der Strangschalen zu gewährleisten, kann gemäß diesem bekannten Verfahren auf die Strangschalen ein derartiger Druck ausgeübt werden, daß der aus den Quetschrollen austretende Strang gleich der Summe der der Dicken der beiden Strangschalen ist.In a known method of this type ("Patent Abstracts of Japan", Volume 8, No. 210 (M-328) 1647, September 26, 1984; JP-A-5997747 (A)) the strand shells which have already solidified are removed from the mold emerging steel strand which has not yet solidified is compressed until the thickness of the strip is approximately equal to twice the thickness of the strand shell which has already solidified. In order to ensure that the strand shells are securely welded, such pressure can be exerted on the strand shells in accordance with this known method that the pressure from the The strand emerging from the squeeze rolls is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two strand shells.

Durch diese an sich bekannte Maßnahme, die beim Stranggießen zur Erzielung lunkerfreier Stränge angewandt wird, werden allerdings nur Bänder mit einer Dicke von 20 - 50 mm erreicht. Für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungsfällen sind solche Bänder allerdings zu dick. Bänder mit einer Dicke von 20 - 50 mm lassen sich jedoch in herkömmlichen Kaltwalzwerken nicht bis auf die gewünschte kleinste Dicke von etwa 2 mm herunterwalzen.This measure, which is known per se and which is used in continuous casting to achieve void-free strands, only achieves strips with a thickness of 20-50 mm. However, such tapes are too thick for a large number of applications. However, strips with a thickness of 20 - 50 mm cannot be rolled down to the desired minimum thickness of about 2 mm in conventional cold rolling mills.

Zur Herstellung von Bändern mit geringer Dicke wird das nach herkömmlicher Weise hergestellte Vorband gekühlt und nach vollständiger Durcherstarrung in Stücke geeigneter Länge unterteilt oder zu einem Band aufgewickelt. Zur Vorbereitung auf das anschließende Auswalzen zu dünnem Band wird der Bund in einem Zwischenspeicherofen wärmebehandelt und auf eine gleichmäßige Temperatur eingestellt. Das Auswalzen des Bandes erfolgt in mehreren Sticken. Wegen des notwendigen Zwischenspeicherofens und der Vielzahl der Walzgerüste für das Auswalzen ist der Aufwand zum Walzen von dünnen Bändern nach wie vor groß. Ein weiterer Nachteil bei einem derartigen Auswalzen nach dem Aufheizen des Bandes besteht darin, daß das Band an der Oberfläche verzundert. Dadurch wird ein einwandfreies Warmwalzen erschwert. Zur Herstellung von Strängen von beispielsweise 80 mm Kantenlänge ist es bekannt (GB-A 1189731; US-A- 3491823), die eine Kokille verlassenden Stränge vor der Durcherstarrung im Querschnitt mit einem Verformungsgrad des verfestigten Teiles von mehr als 20 % zu reduzieren. Ziel dieser Querschnittsverminderung ist es, Fehler wie Seigerungen und dergleichen im Strang, die bei der Durcherstarrung unter Kühlung entstehen können, zu vermeiden.To produce tapes with a small thickness, the pre-strip produced in the conventional manner is cooled and, after it has completely solidified, divided into pieces of suitable length or wound up into a strip. In preparation for the subsequent rolling out into thin strips, the bundle is heat-treated in a temporary storage furnace and set to a uniform temperature. The tape is rolled out in several embroidery. Because of the necessary intermediate storage furnace and the large number of roll stands for rolling out, the effort for rolling thin strips is still great. A further disadvantage with such a rolling out after the strip has been heated up is that the strip scales on the surface. This makes perfect hot rolling difficult. For the production of strands of, for example, 80 mm edge length, it is known (GB-A 1189731; US-A-3491823) to reduce the strands leaving a mold in cross-section before solidification with a degree of deformation of the solidified part of more than 20%. The aim of this reduction in cross-section is to avoid errors such as segregations and the like in the strand, which can occur during solidification under cooling.

Ferner ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von dünnen Bändern in einer Durchlaufkokille bekannt (GB-A 1199805), bei dem der noch nicht durcherstarrte Strang von zwei den Kokillenausgang bildenden Quetschrollen so weit zusammengedrückt wird, daß die Innenseiten der erstarrten Strangschalen einander berühren. Die Dicke des so erzeugten Bandes entspricht also der Summe der Dicken der Strangschalen.Furthermore, a method for producing thin strips in a continuous mold is known (GB-A 1199805), in which the strand which has not yet solidified is pressed together by two squeezing rollers forming the mold outlet to such an extent that the inner sides of the solidified strand shells touch one another. The thickness of the tape thus produced corresponds to the sum of the thicknesses of the strand shells.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Anlage anzugeben, mit welchem beziehungsweise mit welcher qualitativ hochwertige Stahlbänder mit einer Dicke von 1 - 10 mm auf einfache Art und Weise hergestellt werden können.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method and a system with which or with which high-quality steel strips with a thickness of 1-10 mm can be produced in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die aus der Kokille austretenden verfestigten Strangschalen unmittelbar nach Verlassen der Kokille im gleichen Arbeitsgang mit dem Zusammendrücken des Gußstranges mit einem Verformungsgrad von mehr als 40 % in der Dicke reduziert werden. Eine solche Dickenreduzierung läßt sich mit einem am Kokillenauslauf angeordneten Walzgerüst, insbesondere einem horizontalliegenden angetriebenen Quartogerüst verwirklichen.This object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned in that the mold emerging solidified strand shells can be reduced in thickness immediately after leaving the mold in the same operation by compressing the cast strand with a degree of deformation of more than 40%. Such a reduction in thickness can be achieved with a rolling stand arranged at the mold outlet, in particular a horizontally driven four-high stand.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren läßt sich in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang aus dem aus der Kokille austretenden noch nicht durcherstarrten Stahlstang ein dünnes Band herstellen, das unmittelbar nach entsprechender Kühlung zu Bunden gewickelt oder weiterverarbeitet werden kann. Die Herstellung von Stahlbändern mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist äußerst günstig, da keine großen Anlagen mit Wärmeöfen und Walzgerüsten mit entsprechendem Energiebedarf erforderlich sind.With the method according to the invention, a thin strip can be produced from the steel rod that has not yet solidified from the mold and can be wound into coils or further processed immediately after appropriate cooling. The production of steel strips using the method according to the invention is extremely inexpensive, since no large plants with heating furnaces and roll stands with a corresponding energy requirement are required.

Bei der Erfindung sind die verschiedenen Parameter beim Gießen des Stahlstranges einerseits und beim Dickenreduzieren der Strangschalen andererseits derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß der Stahlstrang ohne Durchbrüche zusammengedrückt werden kann und die Strangschalen die erheblichen Verformungen bei der Dickenreduktion aushalten können. Es hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Gießgeschwindigkeit und/oder die Kühlintensität der Kokille derart geregelt wird, daß der Stahlstrang bei Austritt aus der Kokille eines Strangschale mit einer Dicke von 5 - 10 mm aufweist. Auf diese Weise ist gewährleistet, daß die Strangschale widerstandsfähig genug ist, um die bei der Verformung auftretenden Kräfte ohne Bildung von Rissen aushalten zu können.In the invention, the various parameters for casting the steel strand on the one hand and for reducing the thickness of the strand shells on the other hand are matched to one another in such a way that the steel strand can be pressed together without breakthroughs and the strand shells can withstand the considerable deformations when reducing the thickness. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the casting speed and / or the cooling intensity of the mold is controlled in such a way that the steel strand has a strand shell with a thickness of 5-10 mm when it emerges from the mold. In this way it is ensured that the strand shell is resistant enough to withstand the forces occurring during the deformation without the formation of cracks.

Für eine gleichmäßige Verformung des Gießstranges und eine gute Gefügeausbildung hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn das Zusammendrücken der verfestigten Strangschalen nach Austritt des Gußstrangs aus der Durchlaufkokille bei möglichst hohen Temperaturen durchgeführt wird. Gute Ergebnisse wurden erzielt, wenn die Oberflächentemperatur des Gußstranges mehr als 1100°C, vorzugsweise 1200°C bis 1400°C, insbesondere 1300°C beträgt. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß es vorteilhaft ist, wenn in der Strangschale ein Temperaturgradient senkrecht zur Strangoberfläche besteht, der bestimmt wird durch die Strangoberflächentemperatur und eine Temperatur nahe der Solidus-Temperatur im Inneren des Gußstranges. Da alle Stahlqualitäten bei einer Temperatur von mehr als 1200°C hoch belastbar sind, werden bei Einhaltung der vorgenannten Temperaturen Risse in der Stranghaut während der Verformung vermieden.For a uniform deformation of the casting strand and a good microstructure, it has proven to be useful if the compressed strand shells are pressed together after the cast strand emerges from the continuous mold at the highest possible temperatures. Good results have been achieved if the surface temperature of the cast strand is more than 1100 ° C., preferably 1200 ° C. to 1400 ° C., in particular 1300 ° C. It has been shown that it is advantageous if there is a temperature gradient in the strand shell perpendicular to the strand surface, which is determined by the strand surface temperature and a temperature close to the solidus temperature in the interior of the cast strand. Since all steel grades are highly resilient at a temperature of more than 1200 ° C, cracks in the strand skin during deformation are avoided if the aforementioned temperatures are observed.

Für die Ausbildung eines besonders guten Gefüges des gewalzten Bandes ist es weiter von Vorteil, die Strangschalen beim Zusammendrücken des Gußstranges mit einem Verformungsgrad von 50 - 80 % in der Dicke zu reduzieren. Für manche Anwendungsfälle und/oder bei einigen Stahlqualitäten kann es zur Verbesserung der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit vorteilhaft sein, die Bänder zusätzlich mit einem Verformungsgrad von kleiner als 5% nachzuwalzen. Es ist auch möglich, das Band hierbei mit einer Kontur zu versehen.For the formation of a particularly good structure of the rolled strip, it is further advantageous to reduce the strand shells with a degree of deformation of 50-80% in thickness when the cast strand is compressed. For some applications and / or for some steel grades, it may be advantageous to improve the surface quality by re-rolling the strips with a degree of deformation of less than 5%. It is also possible to provide the belt with a contour.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird eine erste Dickenreduktion des Gußstranges bereits in der Durchlaufkokille durchgeführt. Zu diesem Zweck werden die an den Breitseiten der Durchlaufkokille sich bildenden Strangschalen zumindest im Mittelbereich durch eine entsprechende Ausbildung des trichterförmigen Bereichs der Durchlaufkokille während des Auszuges des Gußstranges zusammengeführt. Dabei wird die Kühlung der Durchlaufkokille derart eingestellt, daß die Bildung der Strangschalen bereits im trichterförmigen Bereich beginnt, so daß bereits dort ein Strang mit noch schmelzflüssigem Kern gebildet wird. Dabei kommt es darauf an, daß die Strangschale sich nur mit einer Dicke ausbildet, bei der ein Zusammenführen noch möglich ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, a first reduction in the thickness of the cast strand is already carried out in the continuous mold. For this purpose, the strand shells which form on the broad sides of the continuous mold are brought together at least in the central region by a corresponding design of the funnel-shaped region of the continuous mold while the cast strand is being pulled out. The cooling of the continuous mold is adjusted in such a way that the formation of the strand shells begins in the funnel-shaped area. so that a strand with a still molten core is formed there. It is important that the strand shell is only formed with a thickness at which a merging is still possible.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Anlage zum Herstellen eines Stahlbandes schematisch darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert. Im einzelnen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Anlage zur Durchführung des Verfahrens in Seitenansicht
    und
  • Fig. 2 ein Detail der Anlage gemäß Fig. 1 im Bereich zwischen der Kokille zum Stranggießen und dem Walzgerüst in zu Fig. 1 vergrößerter Darstellung.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing schematically illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a system for producing a steel strip. In detail show:
  • Fig. 1 shows a plant for performing the method in side view
    and
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of the system of FIG. 1 in the area between the mold for continuous casting and the rolling stand in an enlarged view to FIG. 1.

Aus dem Tundish 1 fließt schmelzflüssiger Stahl in eine oszillierende Kokille 2, die aus einem trichterförmigen Oberteil und einem Unterteil mit parallel angeordneten gekühlten Wänden besteht, deren Abstand entsprechend der Dicke des zu gießenden Stranges gewählt wird. Infolge der trichterförmigen Ausbildung der Kokille werden bereits im trichterförmigen Bereich die erstarrenden Strangschalen beim Auszug des Gußstranges zusammengeführt, wodurch eine erste Dickenreduzierung des Gußstranges erzielt wird. Unmittelbar am Kokillenauslauf befindet sich ein Walzgerüst 3, mit dem die erstarrten Strangschalen zusammengedrückt, miteinander verschweißt und in der Dicke reduziert werden. Das Walzgerüst ist beispielsweise ein horizontal angeordnetes Quartogerüst, dessen angetriebene Arbeitswalzen 3a für das Zusammendrücken und Dickenreduzieren des Stranges 10 mittels hydraulischer Zylinder verstellbar sind. Im Bereich der Arbeitswalzen 3a sollten den Schmalseiten profilbestimmende Stützrollen zugeordnet sein. Der Durchmesser d der Arbeitswalzen 3a sollte zwischen 0,5 und 1 m liegen, während der Abstand D des Anfangs des Angriffsbereichs von der Unterkante der Kokille 2 kleiner als 0,5 m sein sollte. Diese Verhältnisse sind in Figur 2 dargestellt.Molten steel flows from the tundish 1 into an oscillating mold 2, which consists of a funnel-shaped upper part and a lower part with cooling walls arranged in parallel, the spacing of which is selected according to the thickness of the strand to be cast. As a result of the funnel-shaped design of the mold, the solidifying strand shells are already brought together in the funnel-shaped region when the cast strand is pulled out, as a result of which a first reduction in the thickness of the cast strand is achieved. Immediately at the mold outlet is a roll stand 3, with which the solidified strand shells are pressed together, welded together and reduced in thickness. The rolling stand is, for example, a horizontally arranged four-high stand, the driven work rolls 3a of which can be adjusted by means of hydraulic cylinders for the compression and reduction of the thickness of the strand 10. In the area of the work rolls 3a should the narrow sides support rollers determining the profile. The diameter d of the work rolls 3a should be between 0.5 and 1 m, while the distance D of the beginning of the area of attack from the lower edge of the mold 2 should be less than 0.5 m. These relationships are shown in FIG. 2.

Dem Walzgerüst 3 kann hinter einer Bogenführung 4 ein Walzgerüst 5 nachgeordnet sein, mit dem mit geringem Verformungsgrad von etwa 5 % der durcherstarrte Gußstrang dressiert wird. Hinter dem Walzgerüst 5 sind eine Kühlvorrichtung 6, eine Schere 7 und eine Haspel 8 zum Aufwickeln des Bandes 9 vorgesehen.The roll stand 3 can be followed by a roll stand 5 behind an arch guide 4, with which the solidified cast strand is trained with a low degree of deformation of about 5%. A cooling device 6, scissors 7 and a reel 8 for winding the strip 9 are provided behind the roll stand 5.
