Abstract

An electromagnetic mold for vertical continuous casting of rolling slabs, featuring an inductor and an electromagnetic screen partly covering the induction is such that the vertical distance between the lower edge of the inductor and the lower edge of the screen is greater at the narrow sides of the mold than at the broad sides of the mold. As a result of this arrangement it is possible to prevent metal running out of the ingot head at the narrow sides during the start-up phase. The foregoing is achieved at the expense of an insignificant amount of melt circulation occurring in the molten head of the ingot.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektromagnetische Stranggiesskokille zum vertikalen Giessen von Walzbarren mit im wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt mit einem an den vier Kokillenseiten angeordneten Induktor und einem diesen teilweise überdeckenden elektromagnetischen Schirm. Eine solche Kokille ist aus der EP A 0 109 357 bekannt.The invention relates to an electromagnetic continuous casting mold for the vertical casting of rolled ingots with an essentially rectangular cross section with an inductor arranged on the four sides of the mold and an electromagnetic screen partially covering them. Such a mold is known from EP A 0 109 357.

Unter dem Begriff Walzbarren werden Giessstränge mit im wesentlichen rechteckigen, d.h. Breit- bzw. Walzseiten und Schmalseiten aufweisenden Querschnittabmessungen verstanden.The term rolling ingot includes casting strands with essentially rectangular, i.e. Cross-sectional dimensions having broad or rolled sides and narrow sides understood.

Beim elektromagnetischen Stranggiessen wird dem aus der Kokille austretenden Strang durch Beaufschlagen der Strangoberfläche mit Kühlmittel unmittelbar unter der Kokille Wärme entzogen. Während des Anfahrvorganges berührt das Kühlmittel zunächst nur den Anfahrboden. Der hierbei eintretende indirekte Wärmeentzug führt zu einer milden Erstarrung des flüssigen Metalls und zu einer ebenen Ausbildung des Strangfusses. Mit fortschreitendem Absenken des Anfahrbodens trifft das Kühlmittel direkt auf die Oberfläche des Stranges, was mit einer sprunghaften Erhöhung der Wärmeabfuhr aus dem Strang verbunden ist. Die als Folge dieses Temperaturschocks auftretenden Wärmespannungen sind grösser als die Dehnungsfestigkeit des Stranges und führen zu einer bleibenden Verformung in Form einer konvexen Wöllbung des Strangfusses.In electromagnetic continuous casting, heat is removed from the strand emerging from the mold by applying coolant to the surface of the strand directly below the mold. During the start-up process, the coolant initially only touches the start-up floor. The indirect heat removal that occurs leads to a mild solidification of the liquid metal and to an even formation of the strand base. With the progressive lowering of the start-up floor, the coolant hits the surface of the strand, which is associated with a sudden increase in heat dissipation from the strand. The thermal stresses resulting from this temperature shock are greater than the tensile strength of the strand and lead to permanent deformation in the form of a convex curvature of the strand foot.

Um den Strangfuss möglichst flach zu halten, kann beispielsweise die Kühlintensität zumindest während des Anfahrvorganges vermindert werden. Bei einem bekannten Verfahren wird ein Kühlmittel mit in diesem gelöstem Gas verwendet, welches beim Auftreffen des Kühlmittels auf der Strangoberfläche einen den Wärmeabfluss vermindernden Isolierfilm bildet.In order to keep the strand base as flat as possible, the cooling intensity can be reduced, for example, at least during the start-up process. In a known method, a coolant with gas dissolved in it is used, which forms an insulating film which reduces the heat flow when the coolant hits the surface of the strand.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil elektromagnetischer gegenüber konventionellen Stranggiesskokillen liegt in der gleichmässigeren Ausbildung der Strangoberfläche, welche frei von Kaltlauf, Ausschwitzungen, Oberflächenseigerungen und weiteren oberflächennahen Fehlern ist, so dass sich in den meisten Fällen ein Ueberfräsen der Strangoberfläche erübrigt.A significant advantage of electromagnetic over conventional continuous casting molds lies in the more uniform formation of the strand surface, which is free from cold running, exudation, surface segregation and other near-surface defects, so that in most cases there is no need to mill the strand surface.

Das von Induktor erzeugte, elektromagnetische Kraftfeld regt im flüssigen Kopf des Stranges eine Schmelzezirkulation an. Diese elektromagnetische Turbulenz kann unter anderem Ablösungen der Oxidhaut bewirken und in der Folge zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Erstarrungsbedingungen und der Schmelzequalität im Bereich der erstarrenden Strangoberfläche führen. Dies äussert sich beispielsweise in einer Anhäufung von Oxideinschlüssen, in Längsfalten sowie in solchen Oberflächenfehlern, welche erst beim weiterverarbeiteten Material in Form von Oberflächenschiefer, looper lines und ähnlichem hervortreten. Besonders empfindlich sind naturgemäss Legierungen mit starker Oxidationsneigung, wie z. B. Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungen mit einem Magnesiumgehalt von 4 % und mehr. Probleme können sich auch beim Vergiessen von Spezialqualitäten ergeben, so dass ein Ueberfräsen der Strangoberfläche erforderlich sein kann, wodurch die generellen Vorzüge des elektromagnetischen Giessens nicht voll ausgenützt werden können.The electromagnetic force field generated by the inductor stimulates melt circulation in the liquid head of the strand. This electromagnetic turbulence can, among other things, detach the oxide skin and consequently impair the solidification conditions and the melt quality in the area of the solidifying strand surface. This manifests itself, for example, in an accumulation of oxide inclusions, in longitudinal folds and in those surface defects which only appear in the form of surface slate, looper lines and the like in the processed material. Naturally, alloys with a strong tendency to oxidize, such as e.g. B. Aluminum-magnesium alloys with a magnesium content of 4% and more. Problems can also arise when casting special qualities, so that it may be necessary to mill the strand surface, which means that the general advantages of electromagnetic casting cannot be fully exploited.

Um die elektromagnetische Turbulenz zu minimieren, ist bekannt, dass man die Ueberdeckung des Induktors durch den elektromagnetischen Schirm vergrössert. Bei grösserer Ueberdeckung sinkt jedoch auch die elektromagnetische Kraft, welche zur Strangmitte gerichtet ist. Dadurch können sich Probleme beim Angiessen ergeben, indem auf den Schmalseiten der Stränge infolge der verminderten elektromagnetischen Kraft und der Strangfussverwölbung die Stränge beim Angiessen auslaufen, was zum Giessabbruch führen kann.In order to minimize the electromagnetic turbulence, it is known that the coverage of the inductor by the electromagnetic shield is increased. With greater coverage, however, the electromagnetic force, which is directed towards the middle of the strand, also drops. This can result in problems during casting, in that the strands run out on the narrow sides of the strands as a result of the reduced electromagnetic force and the strand foot curvature, which can lead to the casting being broken off.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, eine elektromagnetische Stranggiesskokille der eingangs erwähnten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass ein Auslaufen der Stränge beim Angiessen, unter Inkaufnahme einer minimalen Schmelzezirkulation im flüssigen Kopf des Giessstranges, verhindert werden kann.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set itself the goal of further developing an electromagnetic continuous casting mold of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the strands can be prevented from escaping during casting, while accepting a minimal melt circulation in the liquid head of the casting strand.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, dass der Schirm an den Schmalseiten der Kokille derart angeordnet oder ausgebildet ist, dass die auf den flüssigen Kopf des Stranges gerichtete elektromagnetische Kraft an den Schmalseiten der Kokille grösser ist als an deren Breitseiten.To achieve this object, the screen is arranged or designed on the narrow sides of the mold in such a way that the electromagnetic force directed at the liquid head of the strand is greater on the narrow sides of the mold than on the broad sides thereof.

Durch diese Massnahme wird die zur Strangmitte gerichtete elektromagnetische Kraft an den Schmalseiten der Kokille erhöht, so dass eine gewisse Strangfussverwölbung in Kauf genommen werden kann, ohne dass die Gefahr eines Auslaufens des Stranges auf dessen Schmalseiten besteht. Der Giessprozess ist damit während des Anfahrvorgangs sicherer. Die Schmelzezirkulation im flüssigen Kopf des Giessstranges wird hierbei nur geringfügig erhöht. Insbesondere ermöglicht die erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung der Kokille ein Giessen grossformatiger Walzbarren aus Aluminiumlegierungen mit Magnesiumgehalten von 4 % und mehr.This measure increases the electromagnetic force directed towards the middle of the strand on the narrow sides of the mold, so that a certain strand root warping can be accepted without the risk of the strand running out on its narrow sides. The casting process is therefore safer during the start-up process. The melt circulation in the liquid head of the casting strand is only slightly increased. In particular, the design of the mold according to the invention enables casting of large-sized rolled bars made of aluminum alloys with magnesium contents of 4% and more.

Bei einer erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform ist der vertikale Abstand zwischen Induktorunterkante und Schirmunterkante an den Schmalseiten der Kokille grösser als an deren Breitseiten.In one embodiment according to the invention, the vertical distance between the lower edge of the inductor and the lower edge of the screen is greater on the narrow sides of the mold than on the broad sides thereof.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform liegen die Schirmunterkanten an den Breit- und Schmalseiten der Kokille auf gleicher Höhe, wobei der Induktor an den Breitseiten der Kokille höher angeordnet ist als an deren Schmalseiten. Die blosse Verschiebung der Lage des Induktors bietet den Vor teil, dass die üblicherweise durch die Innenfläche des elektromagnetischen Schirmes bestimmte Auftrefflinie des Kühlmittels auf den Strangumfang unverändert bleibt.In a preferred embodiment, the lower edges of the screen lie on the broad and narrow sides of the mold at the same height, the inductor being arranged higher on the broad sides of the mold than on its narrow sides. The mere shift in the position of the inductor offers the part before that the line of incidence of the coolant usually determined by the inner surface of the electromagnetic screen on the strand circumference remains unchanged.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Induktor an den Breit- und Schmalseiten der Kokille auf gleicher Höhe angeordnet, wobei die Schirmunterkanten an den Schmalseiten der Kokille höher liegen als an deren Breitseiten.In a further embodiment, the inductor is arranged on the broad and narrow sides of the mold at the same height, the lower edges of the screen being higher on the narrow sides of the mold than on the broad sides thereof.

Die Differenz des vertikalen Abstands zwischen Schirmunterkante und Induktorunterkante an den Breitseiten zum vertikalen Abstand zwischen Schirmunterkante und Induktorunterkante an den Schmalseiten der Kokille beträgt bevorzugt maximal 70 %, vorzugsweise 10 - 30 %, der Vertikalabmessung des Induktors.The difference between the vertical distance between the lower edge of the screen and the lower edge of the inductor on the broad sides compared to the vertical distance between the lower edge of the screen and the lower edge of the inductor on the narrow sides of the mold is preferably a maximum 70%, preferably 10 - 30%, of the vertical dimension of the inductor.

Bei einer weiteren erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform weist der Schirm an den Schmalseiten der Kokille querschnittlich eine andere Geometrie oder eine andere elektrische Leitfähigkeit auf als an deren Breitseiten.In a further embodiment according to the invention, the screen has a different cross-section on the narrow sides of the mold or a different electrical conductivity than on the broad sides thereof.

Die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung von Induktor und elektromagnetischem Schirm bezieht sich selbstverständlich nicht nur auf Kokillen mit fest vorgegebenem Giessquerschnitt, sondern eignet sich in besonderem Masse auch für Kokillen mit veränderbarem Giessquerschnitt, d.h. beispielsweise für eine Kokille mit stationären Seitenwänden und verschiebbaren Stirnwänden, wie sie etwa aus der EP-A-0 109 357 bekannt ist.The arrangement of inductor and electromagnetic shield according to the invention naturally does not only relate to molds with a fixed casting cross-section, but is also particularly suitable for molds with a variable casting cross-section, i.e. for example for a mold with stationary side walls and sliding end walls, as is known for example from EP-A-0 109 357.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt in ihrer einzigen Figur einen schematisierten Querschnitt durch eine Kokillenseitenwand.Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment and from the drawing; in its single figure, this shows a schematic cross section through a mold side wall.

Eine Kokille 1 weist einen Kühlmittelkasten 2 auf, an welchem mittels Schrauben 3 ein Tragkörper 4 aus elektrisch isolierendem Werkstoff befestigt ist. Diesem Tragkörper 4 liegt ein von Schrauben 5 gehaltener, schleifenförmiger Induktor 6 an, der rückseitig einen rohrförmigen Kühlkanal 7 zur Aufnahme eines Kühlmittels aufweist. Am Kühlmittelkasten 2 ist mittels Schrauben 8 ein nach unten sich verjüngender elektromagnetischer Schirm 9 aus einem elektrisch leitenden, nicht-ferromagnetischen Werkstoff befestigt. Schirm 9 und Induktor 6 erzeugen einen Spalt 10, aus welchem Kühlmittel von einer Kühlmittelkammer 11 über einen Kanal 12 auf die Oberfläche eines - in der Figur nicht dargestellten - Giessstranges geleitet wird.A mold 1 has a coolant box 2, to which a support body 4 made of electrically insulating material is fastened by means of screws 3. This support body 4 is supported by a loop-shaped inductor 6, which is held by screws 5 and has a tubular cooling channel 7 on the back for receiving a coolant. On the coolant box 2, a downwardly tapering electromagnetic screen 9 made of an electrically conductive, non-ferromagnetic material is fastened by means of screws 8. Screen 9 and inductor 6 create a gap 10, from which coolant is passed from a coolant chamber 11 via a channel 12 to the surface of a casting strand (not shown in the figure).

Bei einer Vertikalabmessung h des Induktors 6 von 40 mm beträgt der vertikale Abstand zwischen Schirmunterkante und Induktorunterkante beispielsweise an den Breitseiten der Kokille a = 25 mm und an den Schmalseiten b = 35 mm. Daraus ergibt sich ein Unterschied in den vertikalen Abständen a, b von 10 mm, entsprechend 25 % bezogen auf die Vertikalabmessung h des Induktors.With a vertical dimension h of the inductor 6 of 40 mm, the vertical distance between the lower edge of the screen and the lower edge of the inductor is, for example, a = 25 mm on the broad sides of the mold and b = 35 mm on the narrow sides. This results in a difference in the vertical distances a, b of 10 mm, corresponding to 25% based on the vertical dimension h of the inductor.
