Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un procédé de coulée de métaux.The present invention relates to a metal casting process.
Il est connu par le brevet français 1 509 962 que l'on peut obtenir des lingots d'acier ou d'aluminium par coulée électromagnétique. Cette technique consiste à engendrer autour d'une colonne de métal en fusion, un champ électromagnétique alternatif au moyen d'un inducteur annulaire.It is known from
Sous l'action de ce champ, apparaissent dans le métal des forces centripètes qui empêchent son étalement et lui confèrent une certaine géométrie.Under the action of this field, centripetal forces appear in the metal which prevent its spreading and give it a certain geometry.
Lorsque le métal ainsi confiné est soumis à un refroidissement par un agent frigoporteur convenable, il se solidifie alors suivant la forme imposée par le champ.When the metal thus confined is subjected to cooling by a suitable coolant, it then solidifies according to the shape imposed by the field.
L'EP-A-0 015 870 enseigne également un procédé de confinement du métal liquide au moyen d'un champ électromagnétique.EP-A-0 015 870 also teaches a method of confining liquid metal by means of an electromagnetic field.
Dans ces procédés, et à la différence de la coulée classique, la solidification ne se produit pas contre les parois d'un moule, mais en dehors de tout contact avec un matériau solide. Dans ces conditions, on obtient généralement des lingots ayant un meilleur état de surface qui, dans certains cas, peuvent être utilisés directement dans des opérations de transformation dimensionnelle sans avoir recours à des traitements particuliers de surface, tels que le scalpage par exemple.In these processes, and unlike conventional casting, solidification does not occur against the walls of a mold, but outside of any contact with a solid material. Under these conditions, ingots are generally obtained having a better surface condition which, in certain cases, can be used directly in dimensional transformation operations without having to resort to particular surface treatments, such as scalping for example.
Cependant, l'application de cette technique n'est pas sans inconvénients. On a, en effet, constaté que le champ électromagnétique de confinement provoque des tourbillons et un brassage excessif du métal liquide. Ceci entraîne, d'une part au cours du refroidissement, une instabilité du processus de cristallisation qui se traduit par une hétérogénéité de structure et la présence de grains de morphologie différente, d'autre part, l'apparition de piqûres à la surface des lingots dues en partie à la dislocation du film d'oxyde recouvrant le métal, et à sa dissémination dans la masse de métal encore liquide.However, the application of this technique is not without drawbacks. It has in fact been found that the electromagnetic confinement field causes vortices and excessive mixing of the liquid metal. This causes, on the one hand during cooling, an instability of the crystallization process which results in a heterogeneity of structure and the presence of grains of different morphology, on the other hand, the appearance of pitting on the surface of the ingots partly due to the dislocation of the oxide film covering the metal, and to its dissemination in the mass of still liquid metal.
Par ailleurs, en coulée classique, on connaît par la DE-A-1 807 435, un procédé dans lequel on utilise simultanément un champ stationnaire et un champ variable tournant pour limiter le brassage au sein du métal.Furthermore, in conventional casting, DE-A-1 807 435 discloses a process in which a stationary field and a rotating variable field are used simultaneously to limit stirring within the metal.
De même l'EP-A-0 040 383 enseigne un procédé pour agiter la portion non solidifiée dans une coulée continue dans lequel on produit un champ magnétique statique et éventuellement un champ magnétique alternatif qui est produit par un agitateur alimenté en courant alternatif polyphasé. On peut remarquer que ces agitateurs sont disposés sur une portion limitée de la paroi du moule et exercent leur champ perpendiculairement au jet de coulée pénétrant dans la bain.Likewise EP-A-0 040 383 teaches a process for agitating the non-solidified portion in a continuous casting in which a static magnetic field and possibly an alternating magnetic field is produced which is produced by an agitator supplied with polyphase alternating current. It can be noted that these stirrers are arranged on a limited portion of the wall of the mold and exert their field perpendicular to the casting jet entering the bath.
La demanderesse consciente des avantages que procurait la coulée électromagnétique sans moule a cherché à supprimer le brassage excessif qu'elle entraîne en faisant agir, au cours de la coulée, en plus du champ de confinement une association de champs magnétiques stationnaire et variable.The Applicant, aware of the advantages which electromagnetic casting without a mold provides, has sought to eliminate the excessive stirring which it entails by causing, during casting, to act in addition to the confinement field a combination of stationary and variable magnetic fields.
Dans la coulée électromagnétique, le maintien en confinement du métal liquide est obtenu par application d'un champ électromagnétique créé au moyen d'un inducteur annulaire alimenté par un courant alternatif de fréquence généralement comprise entre 500 et 5000 hertz. L'inducteur exerce son action sur le métal liquide qui est amené par un distributeur et qui s'échappe sous forme de colonne à la partie inférieure d'un écran de section sensiblement voisine de celle du lingot à couler et de même axe.In electromagnetic casting, the confinement in confinement of the liquid metal is obtained by application of an electromagnetic field created by means of an annular inductor supplied by an alternating current of frequency generally between 500 and 5000 hertz. The inductor exerts its action on the liquid metal which is brought in by a distributor and which escapes in the form of a column to the lower part of a screen of section substantially close to that of the ingot to be cast and of the same axis.
Cette action se traduit non seulement par l'effet de confinement, mais aussi par des mouvements de rotation du métal liquide à la périphérie du lingot dans un plan passant par son axe et dirigé de bas en haut quand on s'éloigne de cet axe.This action results not only in the confining effect, but also in rotational movements of the liquid metal at the periphery of the ingot in a plane passing through its axis and directed from the bottom up when one moves away from this axis.
Dans le procédé suivant l'invention, on fait agir simultanément d'une part sur le métal liquide un champ électromagnétique de confinement créé par un inducteur, d'autre part, au-dessus du niveau de métal liquide un champ magnétique stationnaire créé par une bobine annulaire et un champ magnétique variable créé par une autre bobine annulaire. Le champ stationnaire a une direction sensiblement verticale et il est créé par une bobine annulaire alimentée en courant continu comportant un nombre de spires suffisant pour atteindre des valeurs inférieures à 0,5 tesla. Cette bobine a une section horizontale voisine de celle de l'écran, et elle est placée au-dessus de ce dernier et de façon concentrique par rapport à l'axe du lingot. Ce champ peut être modifié par adjonction à l'intérieur de la bobine d'un noyau en fer de forme annulaire.In the process according to the invention, an electromagnetic confinement field created by an inductor is acted on the one hand on the liquid metal, on the other hand, a stationary magnetic field created by a magnetic field above the liquid metal level. annular coil and a variable magnetic field created by another annular coil. The stationary field has a substantially vertical direction and it is created by an annular coil supplied with direct current comprising a number of turns sufficient to reach values lower than 0.5 tesla. This coil has a horizontal section close to that of the screen, and it is placed above the latter and concentrically with respect to the axis of the ingot. This field can be modified by adding an annular iron core inside the coil.
Le champ variable de direction parallèle à l'axe du lingot est obtenu au moyen d'une bobine alimentée par un courant alternatif de basse fréquence, c'est-à-dire, compris entre 5 et 100 hertz. Il est évident que, pour des raisons de commodité, on choisit généralement la fréquence industrielle de 50 Hz.The variable field of direction parallel to the axis of the ingot is obtained by means of a coil supplied by an alternating current of low frequency, that is to say, between 5 and 100 hertz. It is obvious that, for reasons of convenience, the industrial frequency of 50 Hz is generally chosen.
Cette bobine, également annulaire, est placée concentriquement à l'intérieur de la bobine alimentée en courant continu et à une hauteur moyenne située à la limite entre l'écran et cette dernière bobine. Il est possible de supprimer cette bobine en alimentant directement l'écran en courant alternatif et qui devient alors générateur de champ variable, et cette sustitution rend plus aisée l'introduction d'un noyau en fer dans la bobine alimentée en courant continu.This coil, also annular, is placed concentrically inside the coil supplied with direct current and at an average height situated at the limit between the screen and this last coil. It is possible to remove this coil by directly supplying the screen with alternating current and which then becomes a variable field generator, and this replacement makes it easier to introduce an iron core into the coil supplied with direct current.
En raison de la basse fréquence utilisée, le champ variable créé soit par la bobine soit par l'écran, étend son action électromagnétique à l'ensemble du métal liquide, de sorte que le mouvement de rotation du métal n'est plus limité au voisinage de la périphérie du lingot comme avec le champ de confinement, mais se manifeste jusqu'à l'axe du lingot. De plus, la rotation s'effectue dans un sens inverse de celui produit par le champ de confinement: il résulte de ces effets antagonistes, une réduction de l'ampleur des tourbillons et du brassage constatés dans la coulée électromagnétique classique. Cette action, qui concerne donc toute la section du lingot, se traduit par un affinage du grain et une homogénéité plus grande de la cristallisation. Corrélativement, la vitesse de transfert du métal dans les tourbillons diminue et la dislocation de la peau d'oxyde, même si elle n'est pas complètement supprimée, n'est plus suivie d'une dissémination généralisée dans le métal des particules qui en résultent, d'où une atténuation du phénomène de piqûres.Due to the low frequency used, the variable field created either by the coil or by the screen, extends its electromagnetic action to all of the liquid metal, so that the rotational movement of the metal is no longer limited to the vicinity from the periphery of the ingot as with the confinement field, but manifest up to the axis of the ingot. In addition, the rotation takes place in the opposite direction to that produced by the confinement field: it results from these antagonistic effects, a reduction in the amplitude of the vortices and of the stirring observed in conventional electromagnetic casting. This action, which therefore concerns the entire section of the ingot, results in a refining of the grain and greater homogeneity of the crystallization. Correlatively, the speed of transfer of the metal in the vortices decreases and the dislocation of the oxide skin, even if it is not completely removed, is no longer followed by a generalized dissemination in the metal of the particles which result therefrom. , hence a reduction in the phenomenon of bites.
Mais le champ variable, joue également d'autres fonctions. Il donne naissance dans le métal à un courant induit dont les lignes de force sont des cercles concentriques. Sous l'action combinée du champ stationnaire et du courant induit, se développent des forces de direction radiale et de fréquence N égale à la fréquence du champ variable. De même, par intéraction du champ variable et du courant induit, tous deux de fréquence N, naissent également des forces radiales variables, mais de fréquence 2 N. Ces vibrations forcées ont pour effet de produire un affinage du grain.But the variable field also plays other functions. It gives rise in metal to an induced current whose lines of force are concentric circles. Under the combined action of the stationary field and the induced current, forces of radial direction and of frequency N equal to the frequency of the variable field develop. Likewise, by the interaction of the variable field and the induced current, both of frequency N, also arise variable radial forces, but of frequency 2 N. These forced vibrations have the effect of producing a refinement of the grain.
Selon une variante de l'invention, il est possible de créer le champ variable à partir d'une bobine alimentée avec un courant alternatif de fréquence supérieure à 100 hertz. Dans ce cas, la pénétration du champ électromagnétique dans le métal va être d'autant plus limitée que la fréquence est élevée. L'action combinée du champ stationnaire et du courant induit se trouve alors très réduite et les vibrations forcées, pratiquement inexistantes.According to a variant of the invention, it is possible to create the variable field from a coil supplied with an alternating current of frequency greater than 100 hertz. In this case, the penetration of the electromagnetic field into the metal will be all the more limited the higher the frequency. The combined action of the stationary field and the induced current is then very reduced and the forced vibrations, practically non-existent.
Néanmoins, on peut quand même obtenir des effets de vibration en utilisant la résonance.However, you can still get vibration effects using resonance.
En effet, en fonction des dimensions des produits coulés, de la vitesse de coulée, de la nature des métaux et alliages mis en oeuvre, il existe des fréquences de vibration propres du métal liquide, des dendrites en cours de formation ou de la masse solide, dont la valeur peut être déduite par le calcul ou par mesure à l'aide de capteurs adéquats. Si on ajuste la fréquence du champ variable à la valeur de ces fréquences fondamentales ou harmoniques, on développe la formation de vibrations de résonance dont les effets sont aussi notables sur l'affinage du grain.Indeed, depending on the dimensions of the cast products, the casting speed, the nature of the metals and alloys used, there are specific vibration frequencies of the liquid metal, of the dendrites being formed or of the solid mass. , whose value can be deduced by calculation or by measurement using suitable sensors. If we adjust the frequency of the variable field to the value of these fundamental or harmonic frequencies, we develop the formation of resonance vibrations whose effects are also notable on the refinement of the grain.
Dans ce cas, il n'est pas toujours nécessaire de recourir à une bobine spéciale pour créer le champ variable car on peut, dans certaines conditions, obtenir le phénomène de résonance à partir du champ électromagnétique de confinement lui-même.In this case, it is not always necessary to use a special coil to create the variable field because one can, under certain conditions, obtain the resonance phenomenon from the electromagnetic confinement field itself.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des dessins qui accompagnent la présente demande, et sur lesquels on peut voir en figure 1 une coupe par un plan vertical passant parl'axe du lingot, d'un dispositif de coulée électromagnétique suivant l'art antérieur, et en figure 2, la même coupe du dispositif suivant l'invention.The invention will be better understood with the aid of the drawings which accompany the present application, and on which we can see in FIG. 1 a section through a vertical plane passing through the axis of the ingot, of an electromagnetic casting device along the prior art, and in Figure 2, the same section of the device according to the invention.
Sur la figure 1, on voit un lingot de métal 1 dont la partie supérieure 2 est à l'état liquide. Ce lingot est entouré par un inducteur 3 qui crée le champ électromagnétique de confinement, par un écran 4 et un système de refroidissement 5. Le champ crée dans le métal liquide des tourbillons 6.In Figure 1, we see a
Sur la figure 2, on retrouve les mêmes moyens que ci-dessus auxquels sont ajoutés les moyens suivant l'invention, à savoir, une bobine 7 alimentée en courant continu et une bobine 8 alimentée en courant alternatif. Le champ créé par cette dernière bobine 8 produit une circulation du métal suivant la trajectoire 9, tandis que se développent des vibrations radiales représentées par 10.In Figure 2, we find the same means as above to which are added the means according to the invention, namely, a coil 7 supplied with direct current and a
L'invention peut être illustrée à l'aide de l'exemple de réalisation suivant:
- On a coulé une billette de 0 350 mm en alliage d'aluminium 2024 affiné avec de l'AT5B à raison de 1 kg/tonne d'aluminium. Une première partie a été réalisée avec application d'un champ de confinement de fréquence 2000 hertz créé sous une tension de 28 volts et une intensité de 4900 ampères.
- A 0 350 mm billet of 2024 aluminum alloy refined with AT5B was poured at a rate of 1 kg / tonne of aluminum. A first part was carried out with the application of a confinement field of frequency 2000 hertz created under a voltage of 28 volts and an intensity of 4900 amps.
Sur une deuxième partie, on a appliqué le procédé selon l'invention, c'est-à-dire qu'on a alimenté une bobine annulaire placée au-dessus de l'écran sous une tension continue de 24 volts, par un courant de 17 500 ampère-tours pour créer un champ stationnaire de 0,04 tesla. Une autre bobine 8, placée à l'intérieur de la première, à une hauteur voisine du haut de l'écran 4, était alimentée sous une tension de 75 volts, par un courant de 3800 ampère-tours, ayant une période de 50 hertz, pour créer un champ variable.On a second part, the method according to the invention was applied, that is to say that an annular coil placed above the screen was supplied with a direct voltage of 24 volts, by a current of 17,500 amp-turns to create a stationary field of 0.04 tesla. Another
On a constaté que la deuxième partie de la billette présentait uniquement des grains équiaxes dendritiques, alors que, dans la première partie, étaient présents également des grains équiaxes sans dendrites; de plus, le nombre de grains avait également été multiplié par 8, tandis que l'état de surface s'était sensiblement amélioré, ne présentant ni piqûres, ni rugosités.It was found that the second part of the billet presented only dendritic equiaxes grains, while, in the first part, there were also equiaxes grains without dendrites; moreover, the number of grains had also been multiplied by 8, while the surface condition had improved appreciably, presenting neither pits nor roughness.
La présente invention trouve son application dans la coulée électromagnétique des métaux et alliages sous forme de plaques, billettes, lingots etc... quand on cherche à améliorer à la fois la structure et l'état de surface des produits coulés.The present invention finds its application in the electromagnetic casting of metals and alloys in the form of plates, billets, ingots, etc. when it is sought to improve both the structure and the surface condition of the cast products.
