Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verhinderung der Faltenbildung und Oxidablagerung auf den Walzflächen eines Walzbarrens aus einer Aluminiumlegierung, insbesondere einer Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierung, beim vertikalen elektromagnetischen Stranggiessen mit einem im wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Induktor und einem in den Schmelzekopf des Walzbarrens eintauchenden Oxidwehr. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 8.The invention relates to a method for preventing the formation of wrinkles and oxide deposits on the rolling surfaces of a billet made of an aluminum alloy, in particular an aluminum-magnesium alloy, during vertical electromagnetic continuous casting with an essentially rectangular inductor and an oxide weir immersed in the melt head of the billet. An apparatus for performing the method according to the preamble of claim 8 also lies within the scope of the invention.
Beim elektromagnetischen Giessen von Walzbarren aus Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungen mit einem Gehalt von mehr als etwa 3 Gew.-% Magnesium treten auf der Barrenoberfläche Fehler in Form von vertikalen Falten und Oxidablagerungen auf, welche bei hohen Anforderungen an die Oberflächenqualität von Walzprodukten ein Ueberfräsen der Walzflächen der Barren erforderlich machen. Ursache der Faltenbildung und Oxidablagerungen ist die durch Magnesium verursachte hohe Oxidationsgeschwindigkeit an der Oberfläche der Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungsschmelze.During the electromagnetic casting of rolled bars from aluminum-magnesium alloys with a content of more than about 3% by weight of magnesium, defects in the form of vertical folds and oxide deposits occur on the billet surface, which, in the case of high demands on the surface quality of rolled products, cause milling Require rolling surfaces of the bars. The cause of the formation of wrinkles and oxide deposits is the high oxidation rate caused by magnesium on the surface of the aluminum-magnesium alloy melt.
Es ist bekannt, durch Zugabe von Beryllium zur Metallschmelze die Oxidationsgeschwindigkeit drastisch herabzusetzen und die erwähnten Oberflächenfehler dadurch zu unterdrücken. Die Zugabe von Beryllium zu Aluminiumlegierungen ist jedoch in den USA bereits verboten und ein ähnliches Verbot ist in naher Zukunft auch in anderen Ländern zu erwarten.It is known to drastically reduce the rate of oxidation by adding beryllium to the molten metal and thereby to suppress the surface defects mentioned. However, the addition of beryllium to aluminum alloys is already banned in the United States and a similar ban is expected in other countries in the near future.
Die US-A-4'724'896 offenbart eine Vorrichtung zur Verminderung der erwähnten Oberflächenfehler beim elektromagnetischen Giessen von Walzbarren durch Anordnung eines an sich bekannten, in den Schmelzekopf eintauchenden Oxidwehrs, in der Fachsprache auch skim dam genannt. Die Aussenkanten des Oxidwehrs bilden mit der Metallschmelze einen Winkel zwischen 105 und 150, wodurch der Meniskusradius der Oberfläche der Metallschmelze in der Berührungszone mit den Oxidwehraussenkanten stark verkleinert wird. Dadurch soll die sich auf der Schmelzeoberfläche bildende Oxidhaut in kurzen Zeitabständen abreissen, bevor die Oxidschicht die zur Faltenbildung und Oxidablagerung kritische Dicke erreicht hat. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass auch bei geneigten Aussenkanten des Oxidwehrs die Oberflächenfehler nicht völlig eliminiert werden können.US-A-4'724'896 discloses a device for reducing the surface defects mentioned in the electromagnetic casting of rolled ingots by arranging an oxide weir which is known per se and is immersed in the melt head, also called skim dam in technical jargon. The outer edges of the oxide weir form an angle between 105 and 150 with the metal melt, as a result of which the meniscus radius of the surface of the metal melt in the contact zone with the oxide weir outer edges is greatly reduced. As a result, the oxide skin which forms on the melt surface is to tear off at short intervals before the oxide layer has reached the thickness which is critical for the formation of wrinkles and oxide deposition. It has However, it has been shown that even with inclined outer edges of the oxide weir, the surface defects cannot be completely eliminated.
Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, ein Verfahren sowie eine geeignete Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art bereitzustellen, mit welchem die Faltenbildung und Oxidablagerung auf der Oberfläche von durch elektromagnetisches Giessen hergestellten Walzbarren aus Aluminiumlegierungen verhindert werden kann.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set itself the goal of providing a method and a suitable device of the type mentioned at the outset with which the formation of wrinkles and oxide deposition on the surface of rolled bars made of aluminum alloys produced by electromagnetic casting can be prevented.
Bezüglich des Verfahrens wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass das sich zumindest über die Längsseiten des Induktors erstreckende, etwa parallel und in Abstand zu diesen angeordnete Oxidwehr horizontal in seiner Längsrichtung hin und her bewegt wird.With regard to the method, the object is achieved according to the invention in that the oxide weir, which extends at least over the long sides of the inductor and is arranged approximately parallel and at a distance from it, is moved horizontally in its longitudinal direction to and fro.
Grundsätzlich kann bei einem rechteckförmigen Induktor zum Giessen von Walzbarren das Oxidwehr aus bloss zwei den Induktorlängsseiten benachbarten Teilen bestehen und gegen die Querseiten des Induktors hin fehlen. In der Praxis ist es jedoch zweckmässig, ein rahmenförmiges Oxidwehr einzusetzen. Durch die ständige Bewegung des Oxidwehrs wird die Faltenbildung und Oxidablagerung auf den Walzflächen der Barren durch frühzeitiges Reissen und Ablösen der sich auf der Schmelzeoberfläche bildenden Oxidhaut verhindert.In principle, in a rectangular inductor for casting rolled bars, the oxide weir can consist of only two parts adjacent to the long sides of the inductor and are missing towards the transverse sides of the inductor. In practice, however, it is advisable to use a frame-shaped oxide weir. The constant movement of the oxide weir prevents the formation of wrinkles and oxide deposits on the rolled surfaces of the ingots by premature tearing and detachment of the oxide skin that forms on the melt surface.
Ein Bewegungszyklus soll zweckmässigerweise 1 bis 8 sec, bevorzugt etwa 3 sec dauern, wobei die horizontale Verschiebung des Oxidwehrs zwischen zwei Endstellungen 5 bis 15 mm, vorzugsweise etwa 8 mm beträgt.A movement cycle should expediently last from 1 to 8 seconds, preferably about 3 seconds, the horizontal displacement of the oxide weir between two end positions being 5 to 15 mm, preferably about 8 mm.
Die erwähnte frühzeitige Ablösung der Oxidhaut auf der Schmelzeoberfläche kann durch Einleitung von Vibrationen in das Oxidwehr in Strangabzugsrichtung unterstützt werden. Die geeignete Vibrationsfrequenz liegt zwischen 50 und 1000 Hz, vorzugsweise etwa bei 400 bis 600 Hz.The aforementioned premature detachment of the oxide skin on the melt surface can be supported by introducing vibrations into the oxide weir in the direction of strand withdrawal. The suitable vibration frequency is between 50 and 1000 Hz, preferably around 400 to 600 Hz.
Der optimale Beschleunigungswert der Vibrationsbewegung liegt zwischen +/- 20 g und +/- 60 g, wobei g die Erdbeschleunigung bedeutet.The optimal acceleration value of the vibration movement is between +/- 20 g and +/- 60 g, where g means the acceleration due to gravity.
Die Kombination von horizontaler Bewegung des Oxidwehrs mit vertikaler Einleitung von Vibrationen erweist sich bereits vor dem eigentlichen Giessstart während der Metalleinlaufphase als vorteilhaft, wird doch dadurch einerseits bei Verwendung eines Metallverteilsackes aus hitzebeständigem Gewebe der gleichmässige Durchtritt der Metallschmelze erleichtert und andererseits die für eine gute Barrenqualität erforderliche optimale Formfüllung des Anfahrbodens erreicht.The combination of horizontal movement of the oxide weir with vertical introduction of vibrations proves itself before the actual one Casting start during the metal running-in phase is advantageous, as this makes it easier, on the one hand, to use a metal distribution sack made of heat-resistant fabric, and even passage of the molten metal is achieved, and, on the other hand, the optimal shape filling of the start-up base required for good ingot quality is achieved.
Die zweckmässige Eintauchtiefe des Oxidwehrs in der Metallschmelze liegt bei 5 bis 15 mm, bevorzugt etwa bei 10 mm.The appropriate immersion depth of the oxide weir in the molten metal is 5 to 15 mm, preferably about 10 mm.
In Bezug auf die Vorrichtung wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass bei einem im wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Induktor und einem im wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Oxidwehr dieses an einem Tragrahmen festgelegt ist, welcher einends mit einem gegenüber dem Induktor ortsfesten pneumatischen Zylinder gekoppelt und andernends in einer gegenüber dem Induktor ortsfesten Führung geführt ist.With regard to the device, the object is achieved according to the invention in that, in the case of an essentially rectangular inductor and an essentially rectangular oxide weir, this is fixed to a support frame which is coupled on one side to a pneumatic cylinder which is stationary with respect to the inductor and on the other in a position opposite the inductor fixed leadership is guided.
Zur Einleitung vertikaler Vibrationen ist auf dem Tragrahmen mindestens ein Vibrator, vorzugsweise ein Kugelvibrator befestigt.To initiate vertical vibrations, at least one vibrator, preferably a ball vibrator, is attached to the support frame.
Der Abstand der im wesentlichen parallel zueinander liegenden Längsseiten des Induktors und des Oxidwehrs liegt zweckmässigerweise zwischen 50 und 100 mm und beträgt bevorzugt etwa 70 bis 80 mm.The distance between the longitudinal sides of the inductor and the oxide weir lying essentially parallel to one another is expediently between 50 and 100 mm and is preferably approximately 70 to 80 mm.
