Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method for manufacturing hollow bodies by continuous casting with the use of a magnetic field which acts on the liquid metal in an annular zone adjacent to an internal mandrel, as well as the device for implementing said method. .
  • the method according to the invention can be applied to all metals capable of being continuously cast by the conventional methods of casting solid bodies and among which mention may be made of aluminum, copper and steels.
  • the method according to the invention will be applied with particularly great interest to the manufacture of hollow bodies of circular section and, in particular, by operating by rotary continuous casting, the hollow bodies obtained being able, for example, to serve as blanks having good qualities of inner and outer skins for the manufacture of seamless tubes.
  • a cylindrical or cylindrical conical metal mandrel for example made of copper, is used, internally cooled with water and arranged coaxially inside the ingot mold or external casting mold. Arrangements are also made to cool the inner wall of the hollow product obtained, generally with water, after the formation of a solidified surface layer. As it is poured, the initially liquid metal solidifies on contact with the mandrel, the solidification front then progressing radially with respect to said mandrel.
  • the inner skin of these products therefore has the same types of defects that are observed on the outer skin of solid bodies in conventional castings. These defects are further aggravated by the small size of the available space which prevents the introduction of any mechanical device making it possible to eliminate them at least partially.
  • the inductors used in this process are supplied by a single-phase alternating current and therefore create a stationary sinusoidal magnetic field, generally qualified as a pulsating field.
  • This pulsating field mainly promotes the creation of pressure forces within the liquid metal, which move it away from the fixed walls in which the inductors are contained, without generating significant circulatory movements within the mass of liquid metal.
  • Such a technique is probably usable for aluminum, which has a shallow solidification well and a relatively flat solidification front.
  • Another solution for improving the quality of the inner skin of cast hollow bodies consists in using a rotary continuous casting process, in which a central mandrel is used by continuously introducing a slag between the annular surface of the metal being solidified and the outer wall of the mandrel.
  • This process has the disadvantage of disturbing heat exchange and delaying the progression of the solidification front from the mandrel.
  • it is necessary to carry out a treatment of the internal surface of the product obtained before use to remove, among other things, the layer of slag deposited on the internal skin.
  • a device has also been sought for implementing such a simple and economical process, and applicable to the casting of numerous metals or alloys.
  • the object of the invention is a method of manufacturing metallic hollow bodies by vertical continuous casting, in which liquid metal is continuously introduced into an annular space comprised between an exterior metallic mold cooled by fluid circulation and an interior mandrel. also cooled by circulation of fluid, this metal gradually solidifying in contact with the walls of the mold and the mandrel with the formation of a hollow body which is extracted below the mold and in which, in an annular zone close to the external surface of the mandrel, the liquid metal is subjected to the direct action of a mobile magnetic field or sliding field which creates inside this metal in said annular zone of forces, having a vertical component directed from bottom to top, which cause this metal to the free surface of the metal bath.
  • the liquid metal located in the vicinity of the internal mandrel is entrained from bottom to top, in a direction opposite to the direction of extraction of the hollow product formed.
  • This upward movement of the liquid metal in this annular zone accelerates the ascent towards the free surface of the metal bath, of inclusions or dross present in the liquid metal in the vicinity of the external surface of the mandrel.
  • the liquid metal is, in general, introduced continuously and controlled by a jet coming, for example, from a pouring nozzle which makes it possible to adjust the flow rate and the impact of the jet, both in angle and in position.
  • the free surface of the metal bath can either be in contact with the atmosphere or be protected by any known means such as, for example, a protective neutral gas introduced in the liquid or gaseous state, or else a slag.
  • the mobile magnetic field which plays an essential role, can be created by any suitable means consisting of inductor systems, fixed or mobile relative to the liquid metal, supplied with polyphase alternating current, or in mobile inductor systems constituted by powered windings by direct current or by a magnetic magnetic material.
  • a particularly simple and effective embodiment of the mobile magnetic field consists in using a magnetic rotor constituted by a rotor of revolution on which a magnetized magnetic material is fixed, this magnetic rotor being contained in the internal mandrel, and animated by a movement of rotation around its axis thanks to a drive means.
  • said magnetic rotor is driven in rotation by the cooling fluid of the internal mandrel via a turbine or any other suitable direct or indirect drive means.
  • a magnetic rotor it is arranged to favor the vertical component of the mobile magnetic field with respect to the horizontal component which tends to drive the liquid metal in rotation around the mandrel .
  • the speed of rotation adopted for the rotor is such that the mobile magnetic field also called sliding field when one considers essentially its vertical component, has a sufficient frequency to have an effect of ascent of the metal along the notable mandrel, without however that this frequency is too high, the field then being absorbed, for the most part, by the metal screen that constitutes the mandrel and also the layer of metal solidified along the outer wall of the mandrel.
  • Rotational speeds of 1,000 to 3,000 rpm. corresponding to frequencies from 17 to 50 Hz, are generally adopted; higher or lower speeds may however be advantageous in some cases.
  • a lubrication of the external wall of the internal mandrel, in contact with the metal by a vegetable oil, for example, rapeseed oil, to be known for this. application.
  • the internal mandrel will be given the conicity necessary to allow good release of the products.
  • Rotary continuous casting which is commonly practiced for the production of solid bodies of circular section, generally comprises a vertical ingot mold animated by a uniform rotational movement around its axis, the cast metal being extracted vertically under the ingot mold by a continuous downward rotation-translation helical movement.
  • the liquid metal is introduced into the annular space comprised between an external mold with vertical axis, of cooled circular section, rotating at a uniform angular speed around of this axis and an internal vertical mandrel, the axis of which is, most often, coincident with the axis of the external mold, said mandrel being cooled by internal circulation of fluid and rotating on itself around its axis, in the same direction as the external mold, the hollow shaped blank being extracted vertically by a downward helical movement, by extraction means.
  • the liquid metal is subjected to a mobile magnetic field having its source inside the mandrel, so as to create forces such that they impart to the liquid metal a movement having a vertical, parallel component to the axis of the mandrel, directed from the bottom up.
  • the angular speed of the internal mandrel is generally substantially equal to that of the external mold, this movement being either controlled by a mechanical device or the result of the friction product being driven in solidification course on the mandrel.
  • the hollow product in the course of solidification is subjected, along and close to the internal mandrel, not only in the vicinity of the surface, but over a height corresponding substantially to the entire height of the external mold, to the mobile magnetic field.
  • directions of rotation are adopted such that the rotation of the liquid metal due to the horizontal component of the mobile magnetic field and the rotational movement of the external mold and of the mandrel are in opposite directions.
  • the effect of the metal rising along the mandrel is then most marked despite the generally concave shape of the meniscus due to the rotation of the outer mold and the mandrel.
  • the rotational speed of the outer mold is generally between 30 and 120 rpm.
  • the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method described above.

  • magnetized magnetic material Numerous types of magnets can be used as magnetized magnetic material, the magnetic or dimensional characteristics of which can be extremely varied.
  • the rotational drive of the magnetic rotor can be achieved by many different means. We can, in particular, perform this drive, not by means of a turbine driven by the coolant, but by means of an electric motor, which can be connected directly to the rotor, or, on the contrary, be connected to the latter by a mechanical drive means of suitable length.
  • the hoop can also be produced in a large number of different ways using a very wide variety of synthetic or even natural fibers. All these variant embodiments do not allow to depart from the field of the invention as defined in the claims.
  • the continuous casting device according to the invention can be further improved by providing, as shown in FIG. 1, under the rotary mandrel, a screen 54, the function of which is to reduce the radiation from the internal surface of the hollow bar. , once out of the mandrel.
  • a screen consisting of a hollow metal cylinder with a solid bottom, can be fixed by screwing at 55 to an extension of the central tube 17.
  • a screen 54 advantageously to provide a secondary cooling device by neutral protective gas.
  • the distribution of such a protective gas is ensured by a tube 56 threaded at 57 and screwed into an axial hole 58 drilled in the bottom 19 of the tube 17.
  • Radial channels such as 59 put in communication hole 58 with the outside. The gas, which leaves through these holes, strikes the inner wall during solidification of the hollow body and therefore accelerates this solidification.
  • This protective gas is brought to the head 13 at 60. In this way, the cooling water cannot escape from the mandrel 2 and there is no risk of untimely penetration of water into the interior cavity of the bars being solidified.
  • a seal 61 prevents the penetration of the cooling water from the tube 17.
  • a lubrication device using vegetable oil, rapeseed oil type can be provided in the sleeve 9-skin metal interface during solidification, for example, by a drip dispenser.
  • the device which has just been described, with regard to the magnetic rotor, has the advantage of being particularly simple and compact.
  • the sleeve 9 instead of having the shape of a cylinder of revolution of constant section, as in FIG. 1, has over its entire part which is in contact with the cast metal, a corresponding shape of revolution to the inner section of the hollow bar to be manufactured and, in its upper zone, a section corresponding to the sleeving 10 of the support tube 12, the two parts of said sleeve 9 being connected, in this case, by a shoulder.
  • the diameter of the rotor 18 is adapted to the inside diameter of the sleeve 9.
  • the same rotor can be used for several dimensions of the sleeves 9, therefore of hollow bars.
  • the liquid metal is fed continuously by 3 into the mold 1, which is rotated at a constant speed.
  • the inner mandrel 2 is also driven by a rotation movement at a constant speed substantially equal to that of the mold 1 and in the same direction.
  • This rotation of the mandrel is ensured either by the mechanism described in FIG. 3, or simply by the friction of the metal being solidified on the internal mandrel, the mechanism described in FIG. 3 only serving in this case to keep it in the vertical position and centered the rotating mandrel. Due to the continuous rotation of the mold 1 and the mandrel 2, any localized overheating of the mold and the mandrel is avoided, in particular, by radiation at the place where the metal-liquid is introduced by 3 into the mold. As a result, the process has great symmetry, both thermal and geometric.
  • inclusions, dross or any non-metallic particles floating on the surface of the metal tend to move away from the periphery.
  • the result is a particularly neat exterior surface that does not require surface preparation before further processing. This is well known and exposed, inter alia, in the article of the “Revue de Métallurgie-CIT”, already quoted.
  • the vertical component of the mobile magnetic field created by the rotating rotor 18 has the effect of totally modifying the normal solidification conditions in the vicinity of the outer surface of the sleeve 9.
  • the ascending current of liquid metal which occurs along this sleeve, causes all the dross and inclusions that may be present, rapidly to the free surface of the metal, and, moreover, this current, which is then deflected radially towards the periphery, causes the rise of the level of the liquid metal in the vicinity of the mandrel 2, the annular relief 63 thus formed preventing dross floating on the free surface of the metal bath 7 from depositing on the interior surface of the hollow body in the course of solidification.
  • This mechanical barrier effect is added to the effect of entrainment by the surface current which keeps dross away from the mandrel, being on the bath.
  • the liquid metal distribution jet is oriented in such a way that it keeps the updrafts and convection currents, in the vicinity of the mandrel, their maximum efficiency.
  • the jet 3 is preferably oriented so that the movement of the metal poured into the mold has a radial centrifugal component, the tangential component, which tends to rotate the bath, being directed in the direction of rotation of the mold 1.
  • the stirring carried out on the liquid metal being solidified, in the vicinity of the mandrel has the effect to refine the structure of the inner skin of the hollow body obtained.
  • the process of rotary continuous casting of hollow bodies applies particularly well to the case of steel.
  • inductors comprising, for example, windings supplied with three-phase current is known for pumping liquid metals such as sodium and even aluminum.
  • Their structure corresponds substantially to that of a portion of a polyphase alternating current motor stator whose curvature is canceled so as to obtain a sliding magnetic field whose translational movement is linear.
  • an inductor constituted by a cylinder with a vertical axis made of magnetic material may be housed inside the mandrel, in place of a rotor, having notches projecting in its cylindrical outer wall. which are arranged in series of coils supplied with polyphase alternating current.
  • the speed “V of translation of the field is equal to the product of the pitch of the winding“ 1 ”by the frequency“ f of the alternating current.
  • the coils are connected to the three-phase current source so that the vertical sliding of the field occurs from bottom to top.
  • the translation speed is adjusted by acting on the one hand on the winding pitch and on the other hand, possibly, on the frequency of the polyphase current used.
  • the cylinder is fixed so as to vertically entrain the liquid metal in the region adjacent to the mandrel.
  • the mobile magnetic field does not have a horizontal component tending to drive the liquid metal in rotation.
  • the inductor When using a rotary continuous casting process, the inductor preferably accompanies the mandrel in its rotational movement.
