Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the horizontal continuous casting of metals and alloys, in particular steels.
- the metal melt coming from the melt distributor passes into a horizontal continuous casting mold made of a thermally conductive metal, usually cooled with a cooling medium, where the metal strand that is being formed solidifies from its surface and begins to solidify.
- the solid strand shell that forms during this process increases in strength as it passes through the mold.
- this shell is still relatively thin after leaving the mold in the usually cast metals and alloys.
- the stripped strand is therefore suitable for manipulation, such as. B. for pulling out of the mold, mechanically not yet stable enough.
- one or more aftercoolers are therefore usually arranged, in which or which a strengthening of the strand shell which increases the strength of the strand is achieved, so that the strand, which is still molten in the center, is free of danger Fracture can be detected by the strand withdrawal device, for example by its drive rollers, and then manipulated further in the desired manner.
- European patent application EP-A-0 026 487 describes a method for monitoring the condition of the mold during the ongoing casting operation, which makes it possible to identify undesirable changes in the mold geometry at an early stage and thus to prevent the strand damage described above, such as e.g. B. to prevent cracks or breakthroughs.
- the respective actual value of the cooling capacity of the mold is determined, compared with a target value given as a function of the carbon content and the residence time of the cast steel in the mold, and if the actual value deviates too much from this target value, it becomes harmful Change in the mold geometry was found. The necessary measures to ensure the desired strand quality are then taken.
- this known method makes it possible to recognize strand damage occurring in time as a result of an unfavorable mold geometry, a correction or readjustment of the mold geometry during operation is not provided for in this method.
- European patent application EP-A-0026390 describes a method for adjusting the speed of adjustment of the narrow sides of a plate mold in steel continuous casting, in which the distance between the narrow sides is changed during the continuous casting operation to change the format.
- this adjustment speed should be as high as possible, but this entails the risk that bulges and breakthroughs on the strand may occur.
- the amount of heat removed from the cooling medium on the narrow sides of the mold during the adjustment is measured, and the narrow sides are only adjusted so quickly that the amount of heat removed does not fall below a respectively predetermined amount.
- Adjustment of the position of the other two sides of the mold, apart from the narrow sides thereof, is not provided for in the latter two methods.
- post-cooling devices for vertical and curved continuous casting plants have become known in which the strand is cooled by applying the cooling medium - usually water - directly to the strand.
- Such a device is described, for example, in AT-B-303 987, wherein a control of the amount of cooling water applied to the strand by determining the surface temperature of the strand before it enters and after it exits the after-cooling zone by means of sensors and processing the determined Characteristic data takes place in a central computer controlling the control devices for the cooling water supply.
- a similar device is described in DE-A-1932884, in which a control of various functions of an arc continuous casting installation is provided. There is also a regulation of the amount of cooling water delivered to the line by the after-cooling device, which also works according to the direct cooling principle.
- the cooling capacity of the mold is also controlled by controlling the amount of cooling medium flowing through it by means of temperature and flow sensors which determine the amount of heat removed from the cooling medium.
- the invention relates to a device for the horizontal continuous casting of metals and alloys, in particular steels, wherein a shaping slide mold, preferably equipped with cooling, and sensors connected to a storage and control device for detecting the amount of heat removed from the strand with a cooling medium, and a Actuating device for regulating the heat dissipation which can be actuated by the storage and control device are provided, which is characterized in that the horizontal sliding mold connected to a melt container and an optionally oscillating drive device for the strand has at least one aftercooler which acts as a plate cooler with the cooling medium flow-through position variable cooling elements is formed, on the cooling elements, preferably on each cooling element of the aftercooler Arranged sensors for determining the amount of heat dissipated from the cooling medium are connected to the storage and control device, which in turn are connected to the cooling elements, preferably to each of the cooling elements, by means of the control device, which can be set to predetermined setpoints by means of the control device, for adjusting the position and thus the contact pressure
- the device according to the invention makes it possible in each case on the main surfaces and preferably also on different sections of the drawn-off strand in the longitudinal direction to set the amounts of heat given off by the strand to the aftercooling device individually to desired values and the cooling capacity of the individual cooling elements to one another and to requirements, properties and behavior of the potted material.
- An individually controlled cooling of the strand both in terms of its entire circumference and its longitudinal profile, can be achieved, which manifests itself, for example, in a thickness of the strand shell that is uniform over the circumference of the strand and in the strand movement direction in a uniformly increasing thickness without discontinuities.
- a strand of this type, having a uniform or evenly strengthening strand shell can be manipulated without danger on the one hand, and on the other hand, the finished strand obtained as a process product is characterized by high and reproducible homogeneity and quality.

B. thermocouples, and in addition preferably a flow measuring sensor is arranged in the inflow or outflow of each of the cooling elements. The measurement data obtained from these sensors of each of the cooling elements, i.e.
- the data about the amount of cooling medium flowing through the cooling elements per unit of time and the temperature differences between the inflow and outflow of the respective elements are fed to the central storage and control device, which therefrom provides the amounts of heat dissipated by the individual cooling elements, e.g. B. in kWh per unit of time, and compares it with data for each target metal or alloy to be cast and stored for the target cooling output of the individual cooling elements of the aftercooling device. Using the deviation data obtained in the comparison, the contact pressures of the individual cooling elements on the strand and / or the amounts of the cooling medium flowing through these elements per unit of time are changed until the pre-stored values of the cooling capacity desired depending on the alloy to be cast are achieved.

It can also be provided to use the contact pressure and cooling medium speed in combination to regulate and homogenize the cooling capacity of the individual cooling elements of each of the aftercoolers. This has the advantage that if one of the two systems fails, the intact system can continue to operate without interruption.
- the cooling elements of the post-cooling device arranged above the horizontal horizontal plane, based on the casting strand can be acted upon with a higher contact pressure and / or with a higher cooling medium flow rate than the cooling elements lying below this level.
- thermal stresses within the strand shell can be avoided, which increases the quality of the products.

- they are also designed to be adaptable to this changed, new conicity.
- the aftercooling device is preferably divided into two to four aftercoolers and each aftercooler advantageously has a number of cooling elements and cooling surfaces corresponding to the number of individual surfaces forming the strand jacket.
- the subdivision of the aftercooler device into a number of aftercoolers allows, as already mentioned above, a precise adaptation of the position of the cooling elements to the strand which changes in dimension due to the respective shrinkage behavior.
- cooling elements or their cooling surfaces in the direction of the strand withdrawal downstream are designed to abut only the central or near-center regions of the individual surfaces of the jacket of the strand , while they are not in contact with the strand edges and in the regions of the individual surfaces of the strand jacket close to the strand edges.
- the entire circumference of the strand that is, for. B. to cool the individual lateral surfaces of a square prismatic strand, each in its full width by the cooling elements.
- the strand continues to advance, but possibly also immediately after leaving the mold, there is advantageously only one area in and around the center of the individual surfaces of the strand jacket to be cooled, under control of the contact pressures of the and / or the cooling medium flow through the individual cooling elements cooled, while the edges or edge regions of the strand, which are already subject to increased self-cooling, are not subjected to forced cooling by the cooling elements of the after-cooling device.
