Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mold for continuous casting of steel, such as low carbon steel, high carbon steel, stainless steel, special steel, etc. and more particularly to a mold for continuous casting of steel which has an extended useful life.
  • the mold for continuous casting of steel is so designed that molten steel poured from its top end is solidified by cooling and the resulting product is withdrawn from its lower end in a continuous sequence. As such, from productivity points of view, the mold is required to have a long service life.
  • the long-life continuous casting mold heretofore known is the one disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 40341/1980.
  • This mold comprises a copper or copper alloy body and has formed on the internal surface thereof which is to be exposed to molten steel, (A) an intermediate plating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt and (B) a surface alloy plating layer formed from either 3 to 20 weight % of phosphorus or 2 to 15 weight % of boron or both and the balance of at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt.
  • A an intermediate plating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt
  • B a surface alloy plating layer formed from either 3 to 20 weight % of phosphorus or 2 to 15 weight % of boron or both and the balance of at least one member selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt.
  • said intermediate layer (A) serves to flatten the gradient of hardness between the copper or copper alloy mold body which is very low in hardness and the alloy layer (B) which has a high hardness to thereby increase the bond between the three members, viz the body metal, intermediate layer and alloy layer.
  • the alloy layer has high resistances to heat and wear at high temperature.
  • the mold carrying a chromium plating layer in superimposition on said alloy layer (B) Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 50734/1977
  • the mold carrying an oxide layer as formed by oxidizing said alloy layer (B) Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 50733/1977.
  • the chromium plating layer and the oxide layer in these molds serve to preclude deposition of molten steel splashes evolved at the start of casting on the mold surface and eliminates chances for breakout troubles.
  • the above-mentioned molds carrying two or three protective layers essentially have an intermediate layer comprising at least one member of the group consisting of nickel and cobalt and, as disposed thereon, an alloy layer and, in the case of three-layer molds, further a chromium plating layer or an oxide layer, and, as such, require complicated manufacturing procedures and high production costs.
  • JP-A-55 100 851 upon which the preamble of claim 1 is based, discloses a mold formed from a substrate of copper or copper alloy having a first layer formed on said substrate and composed of at least one of nickel and cobalt, and a second layer formed on the first and composed of an alloy containing 1 to 2 wt.% of phosphorus, or 0.7 to 1.5 wt.% of boron, and at least one of nickel and cobalt forming the balance.
  • JP-A-5 954 444 describes a mold having a plating layer of Ni-W-B wherein the tungsten content is significant being in the range of 3 to 10 wt.%
  • FR-A-2 314 001 (US-A-4 037 646) also describes a mold protected by a bilayer, the first layer of which consists essentially of at least one of Ni and Co, whilst the second layer formed on the first again consists of at least one of Ni and Co, and at least one of P and B.
  • this invention provides a copper or copper alloy mold for continuous casting of steel comprising a copper or copper alloy mold having formed on its internal surface a plating layer, characterised in that the plating layer is a nickel-boron alloy plating layer having a boron content of from 0.06 to 0.3 weight % and having a thickness of from 50 ⁇ m to 2 mm.
  • the plating layer is a nickel-boron alloy plating layer having a boron content of from 0.06 to 0.3 weight % and having a thickness of from 50 ⁇ m to 2 mm.
  • the present invention provides a mold for continuous casting of steel which is characterized in that the mold has a nickel-boron alloy plating layer containing 0.05 to 1.5 weight % of boron on its inner surface.
  • the simple structure of a substrate mold body and a nickel-boron alloy plating layer with a boron content in the above specific range as formed over the substrate mold body assures a mold life which is at least comparable or even longer than the lives of the conventional molds having two or three superposed protective layers.
  • the nickel-boron alloy layer containing 0.05 to 1.5 weight % of boron has a high ability to bond to the substrate copper or copper alloy of the mold and has a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the substrate copper or copper alloy, and this alloy layer has a microvickers hardness of about 500 to 800 HV, high wear resistance at high temperature, high lubricating property at high temperature, remarkably high heat conductivity to allow a rapid dissipation of heat which prevents formation of a major temperature gradient, and a low affinity for molten steel which tends to preclude deposition of splashes.
  • the substrate body of the mold is made of copper or copper alloy.
  • This copper alloy may be virtually any of the alloys heretofore used in the art.
  • alloys of copper with small amounts, particularly about 0.02 to 0.12 weight %, of at least one element selected from the group consisting of silver, iron, tin, zirconium, phosphorus, etc. can be mentioned.
  • Particularly preferred copper alloys are deoxidized coppers containing small amounts of phosphorus and copper alloys containing 0.1 weight % of iron, 0.04 weight % of tin and 0.03 weight % of phosphorus.
  • the foregoing specific nickel-boron alloy layer is formed on the above-mentioned substrate mold body.
  • the method usable for this purpose is not limited but includes the following as an example.
  • the surface of the mold body is pretreated in the conventional manner. This pretreatment may, for example, be conducted by serially conducting electrolytic degreasing for 30 minutes at 10A/dm2 using an iron plate as the cathode, rinsing with water, rinsing with 50% hydrochloric acid, rinsing with water and rinsing with 3% sulfamic acid.
  • the above-mentioned nickel-boron alloy plating layer with a specified low boron content is formed.
  • the boron content of the alloy layer is less than 0.05 weight %, the microvickers hardness of the layer is reduced and the wear resistance and lubricating property at high temperature also tend to be lowered. Conversely if the boron content exceeds 1.5 weight %, the coefficient of thermal expansion tends to be decreased to cause inadequate bond to the substrate metal, and the resulting decreased thermal conductivity and poor dissipation of heat tends to increase internal stress of the alloy layer and consequent likelihood of cracking. From the standpoints of high temperature wear resistance, lubricating property, thermal conductivity and resistance to cracking, the boron content is preferably in the range of about 0.05 to 0.7 weight % and more preferably in the range of about 0.06 to 0.3 weight %.
  • the thickness of this alloy layer can be chosen from a broad range according to the particular application of the mold, and the like. Generally, it is about 50 ⁇ m to 2 mm, preferably about 50 ⁇ m to 1.5 mm, and more preferably about 100 ⁇ m to 1 mm uniformly throughout the whole surface area of the substrate mold body. If the thickness of the alloy layer is less than 50 ⁇ m, local wear may develop due to operational damage to adversely affect the mold life. On the other hand, increasing the thickness beyond 2 mm is not rewarded with further improved effect but is uneconomical.
  • the thickness of said nickel-boron alloy plating layer of the mold of the invention may be about 50 ⁇ m to about 2 mm, preferably about 50 ⁇ m to about 1.5 mm, and more preferably about 100 ⁇ m to about 1 mm in the lower half of the inner surface of the mold body.
  • the thickness of the alloy plating layer may be less than 50 ⁇ m or even there may be no alloy layer with the substrate copper or copper alloy remaining exposed.
  • the gradient of the taper can be chosen from a broad range but it is generally preferable to assure that the thickness of the alloy layer of the invention is about 0 to about 100 ⁇ m at the top end, and about 150 ⁇ m to about 2 mm and preferably about 200 ⁇ m to about 1 mm at the bottom end. More desirably, the alloy plating layer has a taper such that the difference between its top end thickness and its bottom end thickness is about 500 to 1000 ⁇ m.
  • the alloy layer (2) may be formed in such a fashion that it is thin in the upper half and thick in the lower half of the mold. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the alloy layer (2) may be formed only in the area corresponding to the lower half of the mold body. In any case, the alloy layer (2) may be formed in such a manner that as in the case illustrated in Fig. 1, its thickness is about 50 ⁇ m to 2 mm in the area corresponding to the lower half of the mold body.
  • the formation of the above nickel-boron alloy plating layer may be effected by the conventional electroplating technique or the conventional non-electrolytic plating technique.
  • the electroplating process is more advantageous.
  • the following plating bath may, for example, be employed.
  • the following plating bath for instance, may be employed.
  • any other plating bath capable of yielding a nickel-boron alloy plating layer with the specified boron content can also be employed.
  • the above nickel-boron alloy plating layer varying in thickness from the top end to the bottom end can be formed, for example, by carrying out the plating procedure with the anode inclined and, then, finishing the resulting plating layer by machining if necessary.
  • the mold of the invention having, on its substrate copper or copper alloy mold body, and a nickel-boron alloy plating layer can be used in the continuous casting of steel into slabs, blooms, billets and other products and invariably assures an extended life.
  • a short side mold body (250 mm wide x 900 mm high) made of pure copper for continuously casting steel whose section perpendicular to its horizontal axis is substantially rectangular and having a tapered configuration with the thickness at the bottom end thereof being smaller than that at the top end by 300 ⁇ m was masked over the surface thereof except the area to be exposed to molten steel and then subjected to 30-minute electrolytic degreasing at 10 A/dm2 using an iron plate as the anode.
  • the degreased mold body was rinsed with water, 50% hydrochloric acid, water, and 3% sulfamic acid in the order mentioned for pretreatment.
  • the mold body was finally rinsed with water and, then, using the following plating bath, a tapered nickel-boron alloy plating layer with a boron content of 0.3 weight % was formed on the mold body at a current density of 1 to 3 A/dm2, pH 3.0 - 4.0 and a temperature of 40 to 45°C.
  • the thickness of the alloy layer was 100 ⁇ m at the top end and 400 ⁇ m at the bottom end (See Fig. 1). Then, the masking was removed.
  • a long side mold body (2200 mm wide x 900 mm high) for continuously casting steel whose section perpendicular to its horizontal axis is substantially rectangular and having a tapered configuration with the thickness at its bottom end being smaller than that at the top end by 150 ⁇ m was masked over the surface thereof except the area to be exposed to molten steel and, then, using the following nickel plating bath, a nickel plating layer having a thickness of 300 ⁇ m was formed as an under layer over the entire surface of the mold body at a bath temperature of 50°C, pH 3.0 and a cathode current density of 2.0 A/dm2.
  • a tapered nickel-boron alloy plating layer with a boron content of 0.3 weight % was formed in a tapered fashion using the same nickel-boron alloy plating bath as used for the plating of the short side mold body above.
  • the thickness of this alloy plating layer was 50 ⁇ m at the top end and 200 ⁇ m at the bottom end. The masking was then removed.
  • a 300 ⁇ m-thick nickel plating layer was formed by electroplating using a nickel sulfamate plating bath of the following composition at a temperature of 50°C, pH 3.0 and a cathode current density of 2.0 A/dm2 for 18 hours.
  • the nickel plating surface was finished so as to adjust its degree of precision by means of a stretch gauge, filler gauge and disk grinder.
