Definitions
- the invention relates to a continuous casting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Conventional continuous casting devices consist of a mold which is made from a graphite tube or at least has a graphite layer on its inner surface.
- a mold which is made from a graphite tube or at least has a graphite layer on its inner surface.
- conventional molds are usually designed to protrude into the melting chamber.
- this has the disadvantage in terms of process technology that considerable amounts of heat are withdrawn from the furnace and, above all, from the metal to be cast therein, via the molds, which then flows off via the mold wall to the surrounding cooler.
- a two-part mold has become known, for example, from DE-OS 20 58 051 and from DE-GM 18 54 884. In both cases, the mold is divided in the longitudinal direction, the cooling device following the introductory part being divided into two different zones in the first-mentioned publication, due to the use of different materials on the inside
- Cooling central pipe differentiate the.
- the far at "larger and longer part of the cooling central tube is manufactured but also with this prior art, made of graphite, which is why there are the disadvantages mentioned here and perform.
- Improved conditions have been achieved by means of a continuous casting device which has become known from EP-A-158 898.
- EP-A-158 898 In order to reduce the manufacturing and operating costs and to improve the strand quality in this known continuous casting apparatus, it has been provided that the
- Continuous casting mold is subdivided into a feed part which possibly receives a casting mandrel and transversely to the continuous casting direction into a cooling mold which is adjustable in temperature, the cooling mold consisting of metal as the base material.
- the cooling mold is made of a cast material which surrounds the cast-in cooling tube and the spirally surrounding cooling tubes in the shrink fit.
- the quality of the continuous casting should be further improved compared to conventional continuous casting devices.
- the present invention for the first time creates a continuous casting device which, in addition to a feed part, comprises a primary cooler and a secondary cooler, each of which is provided with a separate cooling device. Due to the separate cooling device, a separate control of the cooling is also possible, which enables the solidification of the outermost shell of the continuous casting to begin in the primary cooler, which then is further transferred to the secondary cooler.
- the front feed part is kept extremely short.
- the tubular feed part anchored to the crucible can extend to the secondary cooler, the extremely short primary cooler only surrounding the lower section of the tubular feed part immediately adjacent to the secondary cooler.
- This front feed part can consist of good heat-conducting, high-quality graphite which is not soluble in the melt. Due to this short length, however, the graphite costs for this wear part are kept extremely low.
- the wall temperature of this short primary cooler can be regulated so high that complete edge rigidity occurs in it over the entire strand circumference, without any noticeable shrinkage taking place.
- the cooling mold is withdrawn with less heat compared to conventional solutions. Furthermore, the advantage is achieved that in the short hot feed part. Sufficient hot metal always flows into the cooling device and the gases released in the solidification and dissolved in the melt can escape in countercurrent without having to raise the metal temperature of the melt and the gas content associated therewith disadvantageously.
- the larger part of the cooling mold, namely the secondary cooler, is designed as a reusable component.
- a carbide compound in particular silicon carbide, is particularly suitable for the cooling central tube in the secondary cooler.
- silicon carbide By using aluminum, or one
- both the inner cooling central tube preferably made of silicon carbide, and the cooling coils, achieves an optimal thermal conductivity and cooling effect.
- this mold is extremely light and therefore easy to handle.
- the casting performance can also be increased by more than 30% compared to conventional continuous casting devices.
- the continuous casting device according to the invention is suitable for both horizontal and vertical operation. Above all, it can be used for a continuous continuous casting process, although it is of course also suitable for discontinued operations. It is precisely here that the particular advantages of the invention become apparent through the use of a highly wear-resistant, highly heat-conducting, thermo-shock-resistant and at the same time extremely hard, polishable material such as ceramic material for the inner cooling central tube, which in many cases without the otherwise required reworking of the Inner surface of the mold is usable. The otherwise considerable wear of graphite molds in the case of discontinuous continuous casting is evidently avoided here.

- the above-mentioned ratios therefore apply equally in principle if the length of the
- the primary cooler 11 is set in relation to the inner diameter of the tubular feed part 5, which corresponds to the outer diameter of the casting strand shrinkage factor.
- the extreme ratio of the short length of the primary cooler to its diameter results in a high ⁇ T of at least 550 ° C. to 600 ° C. at the inlet of the primary cooler, especially when entering the primary cooler
- the cooling disc 11 is designed in the manner of a flat cone. It consists of highly thermally conductive metal or _ from a likewise highly thermally conductive metal alloy, e.g. B. copper or copper with z. B. 0.5 to 0.7% Si

- the temperature of the secondary cooler 25 ' is regulated by a further thermal sensor 39 located in the outlet pipe 37, which controls the control valve 41 in the inlet pipe 43 of the secondary cooler 25.
- thermocouple 45 designates a thermocouple, which is installed between the inner wall of the cooler 25 and the ceramic central cooling tube 27 shortly behind the transition of the feed part 5 to the secondary cooler 25.
- This thermocouple 45 influences the casting speed, ie the strand transport and its speed, in such a way that it is ensured that the edge rigidity of the casting strand in the feed part 5 is completed.
- the position of the phase boundary liquid / solid or. the Liquidus / Solidus line is shown.
- the position of the phase boundary immediately after the end of the train period is denoted by 47, while line 49 shows the solidification front moved back towards the furnace during the stop period.
- the thermocouple 45 effects the limitation of the phase boundary at the level of the connection or by regulating the pulling speed, for which purpose the thermocouple 45 controls a sensor designated 51 in the drawing. shortly before the connection between the feed part 5 and the
