Definitions

  • This invention relates to electromagnetic stirring apparatus for the provision of a magnetic field rotating about the path of steel through a continuous casting mould, the purpose of such field being to cause rotation of the steel, which is still liquid, in the mould.
  • 'axis of the mould' herein is meant the line extending in the direction of flow through the mould at the approximate centre of such flow.
  • each turn extent running axially of the mould (which is the portion of the turn affecting the production of the rotating magnetic field) has required a connecting extent running half-way about the mould to a corresponding turn extent on the other side.
  • Such connecting extents corresponding in number to each half turn in the winding have been cumbersome and have interfered with and caused undesirable modification to the design of the moulding apparatus as a whole.
  • apparatus for causing electromagnetic stirring in a continuous casting mould be characterised by comprising;
  • the number of winding pairs is integrally related to the number of phases of a multiphase electrical supply and windings corresponding to such phases are arranged cyclically around the mould.
  • apparatus for causing electromagnetic stirring in a continuous casting mould characterised by comprising;
  • a core can be provided for eCh coil.
  • Magnetic material is preferably provided substantially joining the ends of the cores of adjacent coils as encountered moving about the mould. With'such joining magnetic material there is provided a magnetic circuit extending about the mould.
  • the core shall have the shape of the coil cross section, having in radial cross section relative to the axis of the mould a long dimension axially of the mould (for the approximate extent desired for the effective operation of the rotating field) and a short dimension measured in a radial direction.
  • FIG 1 a rectangular continuous casting mould defined by mould wall 10.
  • a cooling pipe network is provided for cooling the mould along with water inlet and outlet conduits 12 and 14. These are not described in detail since they are well known and conventional in the continuous casting-arts.
  • the mould walls to the left and right of the Figure are slightly curved to be concave to the right. Such curvature in one of the four directions is provided in modern moulds to allow the billet direction to be gradually altered from one direction (here vertical) to another (here horizontal). Older moulds have straight wall sides and both types are within the scope of the invention.
  • a coil comprising a core 15 and a multi-turned winding 16 wound thereon.
  • Figure 1 is a horizontal section.
  • Figure 3 indicates the winding segments shown on each side of the core are joined over the top and bottom of the core.
  • Core 15 as shown extends, in plan view, approximately the length of the mould side. It is relatively thin in vertical. cross-section. It is shown as constructed of three laminations of suitable magnetic core material rivetted together. However the lamination arrangent is merely for ease of fabrication and desired dimensions of core 15 of suitable magnetic material may be achieved in any desired way. As indicated, the core 15 is provided with a long dimension in its axial direction relative to its thickness and to the axial height of the core. The axial height and axial location of the core defines effectively the effective axial height of the rotating electromagnetic field in the mould.
  • a winding is formed by turns having a long axial dimension extent down one side of the core, a short radial transverse extent about the lower edge, a long axial extent up the other side of the core, about the upper edge again, down the mould and so on.
  • the core, wound in this way may be provided with the number of layers and of turns desired.
  • Such a winding is provided with leads 18 and 20 which are connected, (and the winding is wound) so that the current flows in one direction (up or down) one one side of the core and in the opposite direction on the other.
  • the windings are paired on opposite sides of the mould and are connected in series which series connection, together with the winding direction, is used to provide that the mould-adjacent extents (i.e. the parts of the winding turns between the core and the mould) carry (at an instant in the A.C. energization) current down in the winding on mould-adjacent long extents on one side of the mould and current up in the mould adjacent long extents of the paired coil on the other side of the mould.
  • Such currents will produce a field across the mould having its main component transverse to both the mould axis and to the diameter extending between the centre of the paired windings.
  • Figure 3 represents schematically the two sets of paired windings 16 in relation to input leads and the mould wall 10.
  • one pair of windings 16 is connected in series between the phase 1 power input P and neutral- connection N while the other pair of coils 16 is connected by two connections 22 in series between the phase 2 power input Q and the neutral connection N.
  • only one connection is required between paired coils. (It will also be noted that there would be no greater number-of connections if the paired coils were connected in parallel).
  • the series connection of the paired opposite windings 16 only requires a single conductor 22 between the series connected windings which conductor 22 extends half-way about the mould and (if input leads P, Q and N are all on the same side of the assembly) a conductor from the non-series connected end of one of the coils which is remote from the input leads P, Q and N round to the side of the input leads..Thus with this arrangement cumbersome multiple leads are avoided. As explained in the introduction, the opposed paired windings 16 may be connected in parallel across the relevant phase of the two phase supply and with such parallel connection no more and possibly less leads are required about the mould.
  • magnetic core material is provided in the corner members 24 which are triangular in plan view and extend for the approximate height of the core.
  • the members 24 about the ends of core members 15 on each side of a respective corner to provide with such core members a substantially continual magnetic circuit about the mould.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show an arrangement where the magnetic circuit is, in effect, a unitary core member 28, formed of magnetic- material, extending about the core, although it may be formed of separate connected members if desired.
  • a unitary core member 28 formed of magnetic- material, extending about the core, although it may be formed of separate connected members if desired.
  • two peripherally designed recesses 30 are provided so that the windings 32 on each side of the mould may be wound in two sections for convenience of winding.
  • the two sections on each side of a core are connected in series and the paired windings 32 on opposite sides of the mould are connected in series by a single conductor as in the alternative of Figure 1.
  • the winding sense and the connections are such that the turn extents of mould-adjacent sides of opposed coils carry current down on one side of the mould and up on the other at any instant of the A.C. energization.
  • the two divisions shown on one side of a coil are designed for more convenient winding.
  • the connection of the opposed pairs of coils is in seriesand the relationship is the same as with the embodiment of Figure 1. With pairs of coils connected in series a single half turn is needed to connect ends of paired coils.
  • single conductor When, in relation to the embodiments of Figures 1-3 or Figures 4 and 5 the term "single conductor" is used referring to the connections to or between windings, this is not intended to be limiting.
  • the invention requires only a single connection to or between windings about the mould. This connection may for current carrying capacity or ease of winding be embodied in two or more conductors which together establish the connection.
  • Figure 6 shows the same elements as shown in Figures 1 and 2 adapted for three phase operation.
  • the windings of the alternative of Figure 6 have, collectively, the same extent as those shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the windings of Figure 6 comprise three pairs, for example each winding 31 forming part of the phase 1 pair extents along 2/3 of a side as does each winding 33 corresponding to the phase 3 pair.
  • the phase 2 windings 32 each have adjacent extents 32A and 32B connected about a corner. The windings in a pair are located in opposing positions across the mould and the phases of the windings are cyclically distributed about the mould.
  • the windings for a phase are wound so that, in the extents between the core and the mould, current runs down on one side of the mould and up on the other.
  • the portions of the winding pairs inside the core produce 3 fields whose combined effect, with the three phase energization, is to produce a magnetic field across the mould rotating in accord with the three phase energization.
