Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for correcting thermal ovalization (or runout) appearing on cylinders continuous metal strip casting.
- a continuous metal strip casting machine generally contains two identical cylinders located face to face, separated by a space of the thickness of the metal strip to be produced and turning in the opposite direction one of the other.
- the liquid metal is fed on one side of the space while the strip comes out on the other side at its nominal thickness.
- Figures 1 (longitudinal section) and 2 (cross section) give the general structure of a cylinder.
- Cooling is usually carried out using a cooling (generally water) circulating in at least one circuit inside the cylinder body (1).
- a cooling generally water
- This circuit includes at least one cold water supply hole (3), under shape of a tube drilled in the cylinder body (1), parallel to its axis, opening to the outside by one of its ends, the other being closed, and extending to the right of the hoop (2) over its entire width.
- a plurality of smaller diameter tubes (4) connect each hole supply (3) to a distribution manifold (5) sort of groove located under the hoop (2) and substantially parallel to the supply tube (3); each collector supplies water to a cooling device proper comprising a network of small channels (5) machined to the peripheral surface of the cylinder body (1) and located under the hoop in a transverse plane; the water circulates there and comes into thermal contact with the hoop and ensures its cooling.
- the water After the water has heated up, it is removed using a identical to the power supply. It includes (see part low of fig. 1 and fig. 2) a water drain collector (7) hot, a plurality of small diameter tubes (8) connecting it to the tube evacuation (9).
- a cylinder body has two or three or four water supply circuits and as many drainage circuits interconnected by the channels (6) of the cooling device.
- the reciprocal arrangement of the cold and hot water circuits is good visible in particular in fig. 2 which represents the case of 2 circuits. We see their interconnection and their alternate and offset arrangement one relative to the other by 90 °. The arrows illustrate the meaning of water circulation. In the case of three or four circuits, the offset is 60 ° or 45 °
- the cold water arriving in one of the distribution collectors (5) is then distributed in the cooling channels (6) located on the on the other side of the collector (5), heats up and is evacuated by the collectors (7) which thus collect water from two collectors distribution (5) located on either side.
- a cooling device of this type is described in the patent FR-A-2 217 098. It shows a cylinder comprising a core (1) surrounded a hoop (7), the whole being cooled by a circulation of water in channels (2, 3, 4, 6) formed in said core (1) and opening into grooves (5) located at the core-hoop interface.
- the Applicant has sought a method and a device aimed at reducing temperature differences in the cylinder which is effective and easy to carry out or to implement and inexpensive.
- the invention is a method of cooling continuous rolls of metal strip using a fluid
- said metal cylinders comprising a cylinder body and a metallic hoop consisting essentially of a tube or an envelope metallic, the inner face of which surrounds said body, the other face used to receive liquid metal and to produce the strip by cooperation of two cylinders, said cylinder body comprising at minus a cooling circuit leading to the outside of the body cylinder by two inlet / outlet ends and comprising at least one cold fluid supply device (usually water), a actual cooling device where the fluid is in contact thermal with the underside of the hoop and a device evacuation of the heated fluid in contact with the hoop, characterized in which we periodically reverse the direction of circulation of the fluid in the cylinder body, the cold fluid supply device becoming the hot fluid evacuation device and vice versa.
- the invention is particularly suitable for cylinders having the configuration described above using fig. 1 and 2, their body of cylinder with two or three or four feed devices cold water alternated with as many hot water evacuation devices, these devices being offset by 90 ° (two devices), by 60 ° (three devices) or 45 ° (four devices) and connected by a device proper cooling.
- Continuous strip casting generally takes place between two cylinders identical, reversing the direction of the coolant according to the invention is advantageously practiced on the two cylinders. Such a process is also applicable to casting on a single cylinder by example, film casting.
- the process according to the invention is particularly advantageous when one runs thin strips for example from 1 to 12 mm thick, or even more thin, specifically in the usual range of thickness from 5 to 12 mm where the process is very efficient, or even in the area of the weak thicknesses for example from 1 to 5 mm for which a cylinder runout is all the more harmful as the thickness is low. It is particularly suitable for casting aluminum strip or its alloys.
- the frequency of reversing the direction of water circulation must be set in depending on the characteristics of the installation, for example diameter of cylinders, coolant flow etc ...
- the method according to the invention has been applied to a 8 mm thick aluminum strip continuous casting installation, on cylinders with an outside diameter of 96 cm, the hoop of which had a 8 cm thick, and having an internal cooling circuit identical to that given in fig. 1 and 2.
- the buffer tank can receive the hot fluid if it is large sufficient to cool it or if it has a autonomous cooling device.
- valve V is assigned to supply the cylinder with cold fluid
- valve W is assigned to the evacuation of the fluid warmed up.
- the simultaneous operation of the three-way valves makes it possible to reverse the direction of circulation of the fluid in the cylinder without modifying the circuit fluid from the pump and discharge to the basin.
- maneuvers can advantageously be automated or managed by microprocessor, computer ... etc ...
- the casting machine has two cylinders (upper and lower)
- the hot fluid evacuation circuit can be connected to said second cylinder in diversion on track V3 or W2 of the valves respective V and W which already collect the hot fluid from the first cylinder.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a device according to the invention for a casting machine comprising two cylinders: C (upper cylinder), D (lower cylinder).
- C1, C2 and D1, D2 represent the input / output ends, interchangeable during the reversal of direction of the fluid, of the fluid cooling circuit located inside each of the cylinders C and D respectively.
