Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for cooling a metallic product, in particular steel, which is continuously cast, and to a method of using this device according to the preambles of claims 1 and 7.
- the continuous casting of a metal product is a method which consists in casting the molten metal in a bottomless ingot mold generally animated by an oscillating movement and whose walls are cooled vigorously. Under the effect of this vigorous cooling, the skin of the cast metal solidifies rapidly and forms a solid crust surrounding the molten metal which forms the liquid well. The partly solidified product is then continuously extracted from the mold and it passes through a secondary cooling zone where it completes its cooling and therefore solidifies.
- the presence of the liquid well causes the existence of a ferrostatic pressure inside the product.
- This ferrostatic pressure acts from the inside on the solidified skin and it can give rise to breakthroughs, that is to say tears in the skin, in places where the skin does not offer sufficient resistance.
- Such weak points result in particular from irregular cooling or insufficient support of the product in the secondary cooling zone.
- Conventional equipment in a secondary cooling zone consists of support and guide rollers, between which are devices for spraying water, for example sprinklers.
- Patent DE-C-21 43 962 describes a device for cooling and guiding a continuously cast product, comprising a grid in the meshes of which are arranged sprinklers.
- the grid is applied against the solidified side face of the product which it guides.
- the cooling obtained is not uniform over the entire surface.
- the patent FR-A 2 317 980 on which the preamble of claim 1 is based, discloses a device comprising a box which surrounds the metal product and the inner wall of which is pierced with numerous orifices for spraying a coolant. . Maintenance of the cast product is ensured by mechanical means.
- the present invention reveals a device making it possible to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to ensure intense and homogeneous cooling of the entire surface of the product while guaranteeing an integral support of the product in the secondary cooling zone.
- the device for cooling a continuously cast metal product which consists of at least one box comprising a flat wall pierced with orifices, called the front wall, and equipped with means for supplying pressurized coolant, each box being disposed in the secondary cooling zone of said metal product so that its front wall faces a face of the metal product, at a certain distance from it, is characterized in that said front wall of said boxes is inclined at an angle between 0 ° and 1 ° relative to the transverse median plane of the metal product to be cooled, so that the distance between said front wall and the corresponding face of the metal product increases in the direction scrolling of said product.
- the transverse median plane of the product is the vertical plane carried out at mid-thickness of the product parallel to the large faces of the latter.
- the orifices are slots oriented transversely relative to the product when the box is placed in the secondary cooling zone.
- these slots are inclined, in the direction of travel of the metallic product, by an angle a between 20 ° and 70 ° relative to the horizontal.
- this angle a will be close to 60 ° , in order to give the liquid a sufficient movement component in the direction of movement of the metal product.
- the section of said orifices, and in particular the width of the slots, is adjustable by suitable means.
- the orifices are regularly distributed in the front wall of the box, in order to ensure a homogeneous distribution of the coolant.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents and without any limiting character, a device for cooling a steel slab continuously cast.
- the slab 1 leaving the continuous casting ingot mold 2 enters the secondary cooling zone where the device of the invention is installed generally designated by the reference 3.
- This device consists of two boxes 4.5 which each have a flat front wall 6, 7 facing the slab 1.
- the two boxes 4,5 are arranged at a distance as small as possible from the mold. However, if this distance allows, there may be provided, between the mold and the boxes, support rollers known per se, not shown.
- the two boxes 4,5 are arranged opposite the large faces of the slab 1, at the same level and in such a way that their respective flat walls 6,7 are inclined on the median plane of the slab. This inclination is accentuated here to make it perceptible but in practice, it does not exceed 1 ° .
- These slots 9, 10 have an adjustable width e.
- the boxes 4.5 also include means 11, 12 for supplying coolant, as well as flow meters 13, 14 for controlling the flow of liquid and manometers 15, 16 for monitoring the pressure prevailing inside the boxes.
- the steel slab 1 When the steel slab 1 leaves the continuous casting mold 2, it has a relatively thin solidified skin surrounding the liquid well 8.
- the boxes 4,5 are supplied with pressurized water respectively by the pipes 11, 12 and this water s 'flows through the slots 9, 10 to fill the space formed between the boxes 4 and 5.
- the slab 1 entering this space is subjected to the action of the coolant, generally water, which circulates there. It thus undergoes intense and homogeneous cooling which results in the rapid solidification of the metal of the liquid well and consequently the increase in the thickness of the solidified skin. Care should be taken to ensure a sufficient flow of coolant to limit the heating of this coolant and in any case avoid its boiling, as this would cause the rise of water vapor towards the mold.
- the slab In this space between the boxes, the slab is not in contact with any support member. It is only subjected to the action of the pressurized coolant which, in addition to its cooling effect, also provides compensation for the ferrostatic pressure applied by the metal of the liquid well. As the pressure exerted by the coolant layer is applied uniformly over the entire surface of the slab, the ferrostatic pressure is compensated at all points and there is no longer any risk of breakthrough.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the distribution of the pressure P exerted on the surface of the slab along the height H of the boxes, for different flow rates of coolant.
- the device and the method of the invention therefore make it possible to ensure rapid and homogeneous cooling of a continuously cast metal product, as well as the continuous support of this product throughout the duration of its solidification.

Description
La présente invention porte sur un dispositif pour le refroidissement d'un produit métallique, en particulier en acier, coulé en continu, et sur un procédé de mise en oeuvre de ce dispositif selon les préambules des revendications 1 et 7.The present invention relates to a device for cooling a metallic product, in particular steel, which is continuously cast, and to a method of using this device according to the preambles of
On sait que la coulée continue d'un produit métallique est une méthode qui consiste à couler le métal en fusion dans une lingotière sans fond généralement animée d'un mouvement d'oscillation et dont les parois sont refroidies énergiquement. Sous l'effet de ce refroidissement énergique, la peau du métal coulé se solidifie rapidement et forme une croûte solide entourant du métal en fusion qui forme le puits liquide. Le produit en partie solidifié est alors extrait en continu de la lingotière et il traverse une zone de refroidissement secondaire où il achève son refroidissement et dès lors sa solidification.It is known that the continuous casting of a metal product is a method which consists in casting the molten metal in a bottomless ingot mold generally animated by an oscillating movement and whose walls are cooled vigorously. Under the effect of this vigorous cooling, the skin of the cast metal solidifies rapidly and forms a solid crust surrounding the molten metal which forms the liquid well. The partly solidified product is then continuously extracted from the mold and it passes through a secondary cooling zone where it completes its cooling and therefore solidifies.
La présence du puits liquide entraîne l'existence d'une pression ferrostatique à l'intérieur du produit. Cette pression ferrostatique agit par l'intérieur sur la peau solidifiée et elle peut donner lieu à des percées, c'est-à-dire à des déchirures de la peau, aux endroits où la peau n'offre pas une résistance suffisante. De tels points faibles résultent notamment d'un refroidissement irrégulier ou d'un soutien insuffisant du produit dans la zone de refroidissement secondaire.The presence of the liquid well causes the existence of a ferrostatic pressure inside the product. This ferrostatic pressure acts from the inside on the solidified skin and it can give rise to breakthroughs, that is to say tears in the skin, in places where the skin does not offer sufficient resistance. Such weak points result in particular from irregular cooling or insufficient support of the product in the secondary cooling zone.
L'équipement classique d'une zone de refroidissement secondaire est constitué de rouleaux de support et de guidage, entre lesquels sont situés des dispositifs de projection d'eau, par exemple des gicleurs.Conventional equipment in a secondary cooling zone consists of support and guide rollers, between which are devices for spraying water, for example sprinklers.
Le recours à un tel équipement entraîne cependant deux inconvénients majeurs pouvant conduire aux points faibles précités. D'une part, le métal n'est fermement soutenu que selon les génératrices de contact avec les rouleaux, ce qui présente un sérieux risque de percée entre deux rouleaux et donne lieu à des déformations en forme de bombements. D'autre part, les gicleurs de refroidissement alternent avec les rouleaux sur la trajectoire du produit. Celui-ci subit donc une succession de refroidissements et de réchauffements, c'est-à-dire une série de cycles thermiques qui ne permettent pas de réaliser un refroidissement régulier et nuisent par conséquent à la régularité de l'épaisseur de la peau solidifiée.The use of such equipment, however, involves two major drawbacks which can lead to the aforementioned weak points. On the one hand, the metal is only firmly supported according to the generators of contact with the rollers, which presents a serious risk of breakthrough between two rollers and gives rise to deformations in the form of bulges. On the other hand, the cooling nozzles alternate with the rollers on the path of the product. This therefore undergoes a succession of cooling and heating, that is to say a series of thermal cycles which do not allow regular cooling and therefore affect the regularity of the thickness of the solidified skin.
Par le brevet BE-A-675.403, on connaît un dispositif destiné à refroidir un métal coulé en continu, au moyen de corps refroidisseurs que l'on applique contre le produit métallique en cours de solidification. Ces corps refroidisseurs sont disposés par paires successives séparées par des intervalles. Ils ne permettent pas d'assurer un refroidissement régulier et suffisant et un soutien continu du produit dans toute la zone de refroidissement secondaire. En outre, ils sont sujets à l'usure et leur installation est assez compliquée.From patent BE-A-675,403, a device is known for cooling a continuously cast metal, by means of cooling bodies which are applied against the metal product being solidified. These cooling bodies are arranged in successive pairs separated by intervals. They do not ensure regular and sufficient cooling and continuous support of the product throughout the secondary cooling zone. In addition, they are subject to wear and their installation is quite complicated.
Le brevet DE-C-21 43 962 décrit un dispositif pour refroidir et guider un produit coulé en continu, comportant une grille dans les mailles de laquelle sont disposés des gicleurs. La grille est appliquée contre la face latérale solidifiée du produit dont elle assure le guidage. Il se pose également ici des problèmes d'usure de la grille et de détérioration de la qualité du surface du produit. En outre, le refroidissement obtenu n'est pas homogène sur toute la surface.Patent DE-C-21 43 962 describes a device for cooling and guiding a continuously cast product, comprising a grid in the meshes of which are arranged sprinklers. The grid is applied against the solidified side face of the product which it guides. There are also problems here with wear of the grid and deterioration in the quality of the surface of the product. In addition, the cooling obtained is not uniform over the entire surface.
Le brevet FR-A 2 317 980, sur lequel le préambule de la revendication 1 est basé, révèle un dispositif comprenant un caisson qui entoure le produit métallique et dont la paroi intérieure est percée de nombreux orifices pour la pulvérisation d'un agent de refroidissement. Le maintien du produit coulé est assuré par des moyens mécaniques.The patent FR-A 2 317 980, on which the preamble of claim 1 is based, discloses a device comprising a box which surrounds the metal product and the inner wall of which is pierced with numerous orifices for spraying a coolant. . Maintenance of the cast product is ensured by mechanical means.
Par le brevet FR-A 2 153 152, sur lequel le préambule de la revendication 7 est basé, il est connu d'utiliser des chambres de refroidissement, alternant éventuellement avec des rouleaux de support, pour assurer le refroidissement et le support du produit par compensation localisée de la pression ferrostatique.By patent FR-A 2 153 152, on which the preamble of
Le présente invention révèle un dispositif permettant de remédier aux inconvénients précités et d'assurer un refroidissement intense et homogène de toute la surface du produit tout en garantissant un support intégral du produit dans la zone de refroidissement secondaire.The present invention reveals a device making it possible to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to ensure intense and homogeneous cooling of the entire surface of the product while guaranteeing an integral support of the product in the secondary cooling zone.
Conformément à la présente invention, le dispositif pour le refroidissement d'un produit métallique coulé en continu, qui se compose d'au moins un caisson comportant une paroi plane percée d'orifices, dite paroi antérieure, et équipé de moyens d'alimentation en liquide de refroidissement sous pression, chaque caisson étant disposé dans la zone de refroidissement secondaire dudit produit métallique de telle façon que sa paroi antérieure soit tournée vers une face du produit métallique, à une certaine distance de celui-ci, est caractérisé en ce que ladite paroi antérieure desdits caissons est inclinée d'un angle compris entre 0° et 1° par rapport au plan médian transversal du produit métallique à refroidir, de telle manière que la distance entre ladite paroi antérieure et la face correspondante du produit métallique augmente dans le sens de défilement dudit produit.According to the present invention, the device for cooling a continuously cast metal product, which consists of at least one box comprising a flat wall pierced with orifices, called the front wall, and equipped with means for supplying pressurized coolant, each box being disposed in the secondary cooling zone of said metal product so that its front wall faces a face of the metal product, at a certain distance from it, is characterized in that said front wall of said boxes is inclined at an angle between 0 ° and 1 ° relative to the transverse median plane of the metal product to be cooled, so that the distance between said front wall and the corresponding face of the metal product increases in the direction scrolling of said product.
Le plan médian transversal du produit est le plan vertical mené à mi-épaisseur du produit parallèlement aux grandes faces de celui-ci.The transverse median plane of the product is the vertical plane carried out at mid-thickness of the product parallel to the large faces of the latter.
Cette disposition avantageuse entraîne la formation d'un coin d'eau qui empêche la remontée de liquide de refroidissement vers la lingotière. Cet effet de coin est encore accentué par le retrait du produit au refroidissement.This advantageous arrangement results in the formation of a water wedge which prevents the coolant from rising to the mold. This wedge effect is further accentuated by the withdrawal of the product on cooling.
Selon une réalisation intéressante du dispositif de l'invention, les orifices sont des fentes orientées transversalement par rapport au produit lorsque le caisson est mis en place dans la zone de refroidissement secondaire.According to an advantageous embodiment of the device of the invention, the orifices are slots oriented transversely relative to the product when the box is placed in the secondary cooling zone.
Egalement selon l'invention, ces fentes sont inclinées, dans le sens de défilement du produit métallique, d'un angle a compris entre 20° et 70° par rapport à l'horizontale.Also according to the invention, these slots are inclined, in the direction of travel of the metallic product, by an angle a between 20 ° and 70 ° relative to the horizontal.
Avantageusement, cet angle a sera voisin de 60°, afin de conférer au liquide une composante de mouvement suffisante dans le sens du déplacement du produit métallique.Advantageously, this angle a will be close to 60 ° , in order to give the liquid a sufficient movement component in the direction of movement of the metal product.
Selon l'invention, la section desdits orifices, et en particulier la largeur des fentes, est réglable par des moyens appropriés.According to the invention, the section of said orifices, and in particular the width of the slots, is adjustable by suitable means.
Toujours selon l'invention, les orifices, respectivement les fentes, sont régulièrement répartis dans la paroi antérieure du caisson, afin d'assurer une distribution homogène du liquide de refroidissement.Still according to the invention, the orifices, respectively the slots, are regularly distributed in the front wall of the box, in order to ensure a homogeneous distribution of the coolant.

Dans ces figures, les mêmes éléments sont désignés par les mêmes repères numériques et les sens de circulation du liquide sont indiqués par des flèches. Enfin, on a omis tout ce qui n'était pas essentiel pour la compréhension de l'invention.In these figures, the same elements are designated by the same reference numerals and the directions of circulation of the liquid are indicated by arrows. Finally, everything that was not essential for understanding the invention has been omitted.
Pour illustrer cette description, on fera tout d'abord référence à la figure 1 qui représente schématiquement et sans aucun caractère limitatif, un dispositif de refroidissement d'une brame d'acier coulée en continu.To illustrate this description, reference will first be made to FIG. 1 which schematically represents and without any limiting character, a device for cooling a steel slab continuously cast.
La brame 1 quittant la lingotière de coulée continue 2 pénètre dans la zone de refroidissement secondaire où est installé le dispositif de l'invention globalement désigné par le repère 3. Ce dispositif se compose de deux caissons 4,5 qui comportent chacun une paroi antérieure plane 6, 7 tournée vers la brame 1. Les deux caissons 4,5 sont disposés à une distance aussi faible que possible de la lingotière. Toutefois, si cette distance le permet, il peut être prévu, entre la lingotière et les caissons, des rouleaux de support connus en soi, non représentés. Les deux caissons 4,5 sont disposés en face des grandes faces de la brame 1, au même niveau et de telle façon que leurs parois planes respectives 6,7 soient inclinées sur le plan median de la brame. Cette inclinaison est ici accentuée pour la rendre perceptible mais en pratique, elle ne dépasse pas 1 °. Les caissons 4,5 sont encore montés de telle façon qu'à un niveau quelconque, leurs parois planes se trouvent à la même distance de leur face respective de la brame 1. Ainsi, à son point le plus haut, chaque paroi plane 6,7 se trouve à une distance h1 de sa face respective de la brame. En raison de l'inclinaison des caissons 4,5 la distance h entre un caisson et la face de la brame augmente de hi en haut à h2 en bas, avec h1 < h2. Par exemple, hi = 1 mm et h2 = 4 mm pour une hauteur de caisson de 60 cm.The slab 1 leaving the continuous casting ingot mold 2 enters the secondary cooling zone where the device of the invention is installed generally designated by the
Les faces planes 6,7 des caissons 4,5 sont percées de fentes telles que 9, 10 qui sont inclinées d'un angle a = 30° par rapport à l'horizontale, dans le sens de défilement de la brame 1. Ces fentes 9, 10 présentent une largeur e réglable.The planar faces 6.7 of the boxes 4.5 are pierced with slots such as 9, 10 which are inclined at an angle a = 30 ° relative to the horizontal, in the direction of travel of the slab 1. These
Les caissons 4,5 comportent encore des moyens 11, 12 d'alimentation en liquide de refroidissement, ainsi que des débitmètres 13, 14 pour contrôler le débit de liquide et des manomètres 15, 16 permettant de surveiller la pression régnant à l'intérieur des caissons.The boxes 4.5 also include means 11, 12 for supplying coolant, as well as
Le procédé de refroidissement d'un produit métallique coulé en continu, qui fait aussi partie de la présente invention, peut également être présenté en faisant référence à la figure 1.The method of cooling a continuously cast metal product, which is also part of the present invention, can also be presented with reference to Figure 1.
Lorsque la brame d'acier 1 quitte la lingotière de coulée continue 2, elle présente une peau solidifiée relativement mince entourant le puits liquide 8. Les caissons 4,5 sont alimentés en eau sous pression respectivement par les conduites 11, 12 et cette eau s'écoule par les fentes 9, 10 pour remplir l'espace formé entre les caissons 4 et 5. La brame 1 pénétrant dans cet espace est soumise à l'action du liquide de refroidissement, généralement de l'eau, qui y circule. Elle subit ainsi un refroidissement intense et homogène qui entraîne la solidification rapide du métal du puits liquide et par conséquent l'accroissement de l'épaisseur de la peau solidifiée. Il convient de veiller à assurer un débit de liquide de refroidissement suffisant pour limiter l'échauffement de ce liquide et en tout cas éviter son ébullition, car ceci entraînerait la remontée de vapeur d'eau vers la lingotière.When the steel slab 1 leaves the continuous casting mold 2, it has a relatively thin solidified skin surrounding the liquid well 8. The
Dans cet espace entre les caissons la brame n'est en contact avec aucun organe de support. Elle n'est soumise qu'à l'action du liquide de refroidissement sous pression qui, outre son effet de refroidissement, assure également la compensation de la pression ferrostatique appliquée par le métal du puits liquide. Comme la pression exercée par la couche de liquide de refroidissement est appliquée uniformément sur toute la surface de la brame, la pression ferrostatique est compensée en tout point et il n'y a plus de risque de percée.In this space between the boxes, the slab is not in contact with any support member. It is only subjected to the action of the pressurized coolant which, in addition to its cooling effect, also provides compensation for the ferrostatic pressure applied by the metal of the liquid well. As the pressure exerted by the coolant layer is applied uniformly over the entire surface of the slab, the ferrostatic pressure is compensated at all points and there is no longer any risk of breakthrough.
Enfin, l'inclinaison des fentes et l'effet de coin résultant de l'augmentation de la distance h limitent fortement l'écoulement de l'eau en direction de la partie supérieure des caissons et réduisent dès lors le risque de projection d'eau sur la lingotière.Finally, the inclination of the slits and the wedge effect resulting from the increase in the distance h greatly limit the flow of water towards the upper part of the boxes and therefore reduce the risk of water spraying. on the mold.
La figure 2 illustre la répartition de la pression P exercée sur la surface de la brame le long de la hauteur H des caissons, pour différents débits de liquide de refroidissement.FIG. 2 illustrates the distribution of the pressure P exerted on the surface of the slab along the height H of the boxes, for different flow rates of coolant.
Les diagrammes correspondent à une hauteur de caisson de 60 cm, à des distances hi = 1 mm et h2 = 4 mm et à des fentes inclinées de a = 30° et ayant une largeur e = 2,6 mm.The diagrams correspond to a box height of 60 cm, to distances hi = 1 mm and h 2 = 4 mm and to slots inclined by a = 30 ° and having a width e = 2.6 mm.
Les essais effectués dans ces conditions montrent que l'écoulement de l'eau est régulier sur toute la largeur de la brame ainsi que sur la majeure partie de la hauteur des caissons. En outre, la pression exercée par la couche d'eau sur la surface de la brame permet de compenser la pression ferrostatique, car celle-ci vaut environ 1 bar juste en-dessous de la lingotière.Tests carried out under these conditions show that the flow of water is regular over the entire width of the slab as well as over most of the height of the caissons. In addition, the pressure exerted by the water layer on the surface of the slab makes it possible to compensate for the ferrostatic pressure, since this is worth approximately 1 bar just below the mold.
Le dispositif et le procédé de l'invention permettent donc d'assurer un refroidissement rapide et homogène d'un produit métallique coulé en continu, ainsi que le support continu de ce produit pendant toute la durée de sa solidification.The device and the method of the invention therefore make it possible to ensure rapid and homogeneous cooling of a continuously cast metal product, as well as the continuous support of this product throughout the duration of its solidification.
Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, mais qu'elle englobe également les diverses variantes entrant dans le cadre des revendications qui suivent.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described, but that it also encompasses the various variants coming within the scope of the claims which follow.
