Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement in the supply of liquid steel to the ingot mold or ingot molds of a continuous casting machine.
- the liquid steel is brought to the site in a pocket, coming from the converter or the electric furnace.
- the pocket has an opening at its lower part, closed by a pouring nozzle.
- the steel flows from the pocket to an intermediate tank, called a distributor, a distributor whose bottom is also provided with one or more orifices.
- a distributor a distributor whose bottom is also provided with one or more orifices.
- Each of these orifices is placed above an ingot mold, so that the liquid steel can flow from the distributor into the ingot mold (s), depending on whether the machine is single-line or multi-line.
- the casting time for a given bag is limited in time, for example to 60 to 70 minutes. Beyond this, it is considered that the temperature drop in the steel is too great, so that pouring is no longer possible.
- This constraint of limitation in casting time often requires, in order to cast all of the steel contained in a given pocket, to multiply the number of coating lines, which is very penalizing in cost and complexity of the installation. It therefore appears that it would be very advantageous to be able to extend the casting time, at least so that the steel does not cool sufficiently before being poured into the ingot mold (s) so that the casting must be interrupted. at a certain time.
- a first solution to solve this problem would be to start casting with a very high temperature liquid steel in the pocket.
- a te the 1st solution is not ré3.3.ement envisageab3.e because e3.3.e is on the one hand bad for the quality of the cast products, and that e! 3.e on the other hand, much 3.e risk of breakthroughs at the start of the casting process.
- the feeding device of the invention makes it possible to solve the problem described above without presenting the faults of devices of this type currently known. It is very flexible to install and operate, and also has the important advantage of combining heating with stirring of the bath, the latter being very favorable for thermal uniformity and the settling of inclusions.
- the distributor tank is equipped with heating means simultaneously simulating the bath by circulation in the latter of a direct current, said means comprising at least one layer of electrodes connected respectively to the two terminals of at least one source of electric power in direct current, one of the two electrodes being placed in the bottom of the distributor tray and the other at the top of it.
- the direct current thus produced creates in the bath a heating and stirring effect which can be amplified by the shape of the distributor or its masonry.
- pocket 1 is a pocket of 120 tonnes of liquid steel
- 3.e distributor 4 is a tank of 20 tonnes of liquid steel
- 3.e flow of steel poured by line is 270 kg / min.
- the electrodes A and A ′ are connected respectively to the negative and positive poles of a first direct current source V, capable of supplying
- FIGS. 3 and 4 schematically represent, and in the same way, an installation similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2, but relating to a single-line casting machine.
- the reference figures relating to the same objects, but adapted to a single line casting, have therefore been used in these figures.
- the installation comprises only two graphite electrodes C and C and a single continuous power supply of power v.
- the electrodes C and C are placed respectively at the top and at the bottom (on the side in this example) of the distributor tank 4 so that the current line e which joins them in the bath of liquid steel either straight across the bath from top to bottom over one of the greatest possible lengths.
- the pocket 1 is a pocket containing at the start 120 tonnes of liquid steel 3.
- the distributor tank 4 has a capacity of 11 tonnes of liquid steel, and the flow rate is 1030 kg / min.
- the installed power for the continuous source v is 1200 kVA, its current possibility goes up to 10,000 amperes and its voltage possibility goes up to 150 vo3.ts.
- the setting will be:
