Definitions
- the invention deals with a horizontal continuous casting mould according to the features laid out in the preamble of claim 1.
- horizontal continuous casting mould consist of a mould tube which defines the mould passage mounted in a housing structure.
- the housing structure provides liquid cooling for molten metal passed along the mould passage so that the molten metal begins to solidify in the mould passage and for the cross-section of the casting to be determined by the cross-section,of the mould passage.
- British Patent Specification No. 1525036 discloses a vertical continuous casting mould in which liquid coolant is circulated through an annular duct between a mould tube and a spacer surrounding the mould tube.
- the mould tube and the spacer are located between pole pieces of an electro-magnetic inductor for stirring molten metal passed along the mould tube.
- the electro-magnetic inductor is contained within the same path as the duct and, after passing through the duct, the liquid coolant flows around and cools the electromagnetic inductor.
- the mould tube and the spacer are replaced together so that, if a change is made to the cross-section of the mould tube, a corresponding change is made to the spacer so that the cross-section of the duct between the spacer and the mould tube remains substantially the same.
- EP-A-0071580 upon which the preamble of claim 1 is based, discloses a horizontal continuous casting mould having a housing structure, a mould tube defining a mould passage, the tube being removably mounted in the housing structure with the longitudinal axis of the mould passage disposed substantially horizontal; a spacer mounted in the housing structure and surrounding the mould tube and defining therewith a duct between the outside of the mould tube and in the inside of the spacer; means define a path including the duct for the passage of cooling liquid and means within the housing structure defining an annular enclosure surrounding the mould tube.
- a horizontal continuous casting mould comprises a housing structure; a mould tube defining a mould passage, said tube being removably mounted in the housing structure with the longitudinal axis of the mould passage disposed substantially horizontal; a spacer mounted in the housing structure and surrounding the mould tube and defining therewith a duct between the outside of the mould tube and the inside of the spacer; means defining a path including said duct for the passage of cooling liquid; means within the housing structure defining an annular enclosure surrounding the mould tube; characterised in that means define a path including said enclosure for the passage of cooling liquid, said paths having a common inlet and separate outlets for the cooling liquid; and that the spacer is removably mounted in a tube which forms the inner wall of said annular enclosure and for each size of mould tube a different correspondingly sized spacer is employed such that the cross-section of the duct remains substantially the same.
- the housing defines a pair of chambers and liquid coolant is forced from one of the chambers along both of said paths and the coolant passing through said duct returns to the other of said chambers.
- the enclosure may contain a coil for electro-magnetic stirring of molten metal passed along the mould passage.
- a horizontal continuous casting mould has a housing structure 1 which is located in the casting position between the supply tundish for the molten metal and a run-out table for the casting, neither of which are shown.
- the housing structure is mainly of fabricated metal plates and it defines a pair of chambers 3, 5 located close to the base of the housing structure.
- the chambers are defined in part by a cylindrical tube 6 which also defines an opening 7 through the structure, the longitudinal axis of the opening being arranged substantially horizontal.
- a tube 9 having an outwardly extending flange at one end is mounted within the opening 7.
- a number of bolts 10 secure the tube 9 to an inwardly extending rib 13 on the tube 6 and thus form an annular enclosure 15.
- a group of holes 17 are provided in the tube 6 and the group of holes at each end are in communication with the respective chambers 3, 5.
- An annular spacer in the form of a tube 20 is removably mounted in the opening 7 and defines an opening 23 of reduced cross-section as compared with that of the opening 7.
- the spacer is conveniently a push fit into the inside of the tube 9.
- One end of the mould tube is sealed into an aperture in an end plate 31 which is removably bolted to one end of the housing structure.
- the other end of the mould tube has an outwardly extending flange 33 which is bolted to an end plate which, in turn, is removably bolted to the other end of the housing structure.
- the longitudinal axis of the mould passage is coincident with the longitudinal axis of the opening 7.
- the outer surface of the mould tube is spaced apart from the spacer 20 which surrounds it to form a duct 28 between them.
- the housing structure provides cooling for the molten metal passed through the mould tube.
- liquid coolant usually water
- water is supplied to the chamber 3 from where it flows out through the openings 17 at the adjacent end of the structure into contact with the outer surface of the mould tube and the spacer.
- Some of the water passes along the duct 28, along the length of the outside of the mould tube and through further openings 17 at the opposite end of the structure into the chamber 5, from where it flows to drain. There is, therefore, a continuous flow of cooling water in contact with the outer surface of the mould tube.
- some of the cooling water which is supplied to the chamber 3 passes through openings in the flange 11 and into the enclosure 15 and out from the enclosure through a further outlet port 35.
- Figure 3 shows an alternative form of the continuous casting mould in which a casting of a much smaller cross-section than that shown in Figures 1 and 2 is required.
- the annular spacer and the mould tube shown in Figures 1 and 2 are removed with the end plates 31, 34.
- a new spacer 41 is pushed into the tube 9 and a second mould tube 43 is located in the opening through the housing structure and held in position by new end plates 45, 47.
- the longitudinal axis of the mould tube is still coincident with the longitudinal axis of the opening provided by the housing structure.
- the cooling means provided in the housing remain and a large part of the water from the chamber flows along the duct 28 and into the chamber 5.
- the cross-section of the duct in the arrangement of Figure 3 is substantially as the cross-section of the duct in the arrangements of Figures 1 and 2.
- the horizontal continuous casting mould of this invention may incorporate electro-magnetic stirring of the molten metal passed through the mould tube.
- the solidifying casting is withdrawn from the mould tube using a push-pull cycle withdrawal pattern and this may bring about a surface defect on the produced casting, known as a cold shut crack, a witness mark or a ghost line.
- a surface defect on the produced casting known as a cold shut crack, a witness mark or a ghost line.
- electric coils indicated by the broken line in Figure 2
- the spacer 20 is of magnetically transparent material.
- the material can be caused to give either linear or rotational stirring of the liquid core in the mould tube.
- differential stirring intensity can be applied along the length of the horizontal mould in order to effect the solidification rate of the skin at any point.
