Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Dünnbrammen oder Stahlbändern, wobei ein in einer Kokille gegossener Brammenstrang durch mindestens ein der Kokille nachgeordnetes Quetschwalzenpaar dickenverringert wird.The invention relates to a method for producing thin slabs or Steel strips, whereby a strand of slab cast in a mold passes through at least one pair of squeeze rollers arranged after the mold is reduced in thickness.

Üblicherweise bestehen die für die Herstellung von Dünnbrammen oder Stahlbändern eingesetzten Kokillen, wie beispielsweise der DE-C-36 40 096 zu entnehmen ist, aus gekühlten Breitseitenwänden und zwischen den Breitseitenwänden einklemmbaren Schmalseitenwänden, wobei die Schmalseitenwände zwecks Formatverstellung (Änderung der Brammenbreite) gegeneinander verschiebbar sind, und die Breitseitenwände an jedem Ende mittels lösbarer Klemmvorrichtungen gegen die Schmalseitenwände pressbar sind.Usually exist for the production of thin slabs or Steel strips used molds, such as DE-C-36 40 096 can be seen from cooled broad side walls and between the Wide side walls clampable narrow side walls, the Narrow side walls for format adjustment (changing the slab width) are mutually displaceable, and the wide side walls at each end can be pressed against the narrow side walls by means of releasable clamping devices are.

Um die Schmalseitenwände während des Gießprozesses zu verschieben, werden die Breitseitenwände um einen Betrag von etwa 0,3 bis 0,6 mm auseinander bewegt, was ein leicht durchführbares Verschieben der Schmalseitenwände ermöglicht.In order to move the narrow side walls during the casting process, the broad side walls are separated by an amount of about 0.3 to 0.6 mm moves, which is an easy to move the narrow side walls enables.

Durch hinter den Schmalseitenwänden angeordnete Distanzstücke, gegen die nach einem Vorschlag der DE-A-36 43 740 die Schmalseitenwände federnd abgestützt sind, wird diese Verschiebung der Schmalseitenwände deutlich erleichtert, da nur noch diese Distanzstücke von den Breitseitenwänden eingeklemmt werden.By spacers arranged behind the narrow side walls against which according to a proposal of DE-A-36 43 740, the narrow side walls are resilient supported, this shift in the narrow side walls becomes clear relieved, since only these spacers from the broad side walls be pinched.

Grundsätzlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Breitseitenwände der Kokille in ihrem Abstand voneinander zu verändern, um die Brammendicke entsprechend zu verändern.Basically, there is also the possibility of the broad side walls of the Change the distance of the mold from one another to the slab thickness to change accordingly.

Wie in der CH-A-489298 beschrieben wird, kann eine derartige Verstellung vorgenommen werden, ohne die Kokille auszubauen, beispielsweise während des nicht zu umgehenden Stillstands der Stranggießanlage zwischen zwei Abgüssen. Der Verstellung der Kokillenweite folgt dann aber in jedem Fall zwingend ein Verstellen der der Kokille nachgeschalteten Führungs- und Transportrollen.Such an adjustment can be carried out as described in CH-A-489298 be made without removing the mold, for example during the unavoidable downtime of the continuous caster between two Castings. The adjustment of the mold width then follows in any case mandatory adjustment of the guide and downstream of the mold Transport rollers.

Zum Herstellen eines Stahlbandes durch Verformen eines gegossenen Stahlstranges bzw. einer Dünnbramme ist durch die EP-B1 0 326 190 eine Anlage bekannt geworden, die aus einer Stranggießmaschine mit einer oszillierenden Druchlaufkokille sowie gekühlten Wänden und einer am Kokillenauslauf angeordneten, ein Reduzierrollenpaar aufweisenden Verformungsvorrichtung für den Stahlstrang besteht. Das stranggegossene Stahlband, das sich aus einer erstarrten Strangschale und einem Flüssigkeitskern zusammensetzt, wird somit in einer Rollverformung dickenverringert und anschließend gewalzt. Die trichterförmige, oszillierende Durchlaufkokille besitzt einen Austrittsquerschnitt mit einer Dicke von 40 bis 50 mm, und nach dem Austritt aus der Kokille wird das gegossene Stahlband entsprechender Dicke durch das Reduzierrollenpaar soweit zusammengedrückt, dass die inneren Wandungen der in der Kokille bereits verfestigten Strangschalen miteinander verschweißen. Die Dickenreduzierung des noch nicht durcherstarrten Stahlstranges mit Hilfe des Reduzierrollenpaars der Verformungseinrichtung sowie mindestens eines diesem nachgeordneten Walzgerüstes ermöglichen es, Stahlbandstränge mit einer wesentlich unter 25 mm liegenden Dicke zu erreichen, was abhängig von der Gießgeschwindigkeit sowie der Presskraft des Reduzierrollenpaares ist. Infolge von geänderten Gießgeschwindigkeiten hinter dem Reduzierrollenpaar auftretende unterschiedliche Banddicken werden über angepasste Presskräfte der Reduzierrollen kompensiert. For producing a steel strip by deforming a cast one Steel strand or a thin slab is one by EP-B1 0 326 190 System known, which consists of a continuous casting machine with a oscillating continuous mold as well as cooled walls and an am Mold outlet arranged, having a pair of reducing rollers Deformation device for the steel strand exists. The continuously cast Steel band consisting of a solidified strand shell and a Liquid core is composed in a rolling deformation reduced in thickness and then rolled. The funnel-shaped, oscillating continuous mold has an outlet cross section a thickness of 40 to 50 mm, and after exiting the mold the cast steel strip of appropriate thickness through the pair of reducing rollers compressed so far that the inner walls of the in the mold weld strand shells that have already solidified. The Thickness reduction of the not yet solidified steel strand with the help the pair of reducing rollers of the deformation device and at least one this subordinate roll stand make it possible to use steel strip strands to achieve a thickness significantly less than 25 mm, which depends the casting speed and the pressing force of the pair of reducing rollers is. As a result of changed casting speeds behind the Reducing roller pair occurring different strip thicknesses are over adapted pressing forces of the reducing rollers compensated.

Bei Stranggießmaschinen mit zwischen Kokille und Strangführung angeordnetem Dickenreduzierrollensatz ist es zum Einfahren des Anfahrstranges mit einem der Kokillenweite entsprechenden Anfahrkopf erforderlich, die Strangführung und den Reduzierrollensatz auf die Anfahrkopfdicke einzustellen. Diese Einstellung muss beibehalten werden, bis nach dem Anfahren der Anfahrkopf mit dem erstarrten Gießstrangfuß den Reduzierollensatz passiert hat und ein aus Strangschale und flüssigem Kern bestehender Strangbereich von diesem verformt werden kann. Dabei muss die nachgeordnete Strangführung dem Wechel der Strangdicke mit größerem konstruktiven und steuerungstechnischen Aufwand angepasst werden.For continuous casting machines with between the mold and the strand guide arranged thickness reduction roller set, it is for retracting the Start-up line with a start-up head corresponding to the mold width required, the strand guide and the reducing roller set on the Adjust the starting head thickness. This setting must be maintained until after starting, the start-up head with the solidified cast strand foot Reduction roller set has passed and one from strand shell and liquid Core of existing strand area can be deformed by this. Here the subordinate strand guide must also change the strand thickness adapted to greater design and control engineering effort become.

Weiterhin wird in der EP-A-363 732 eine Anfahrvorrichtung für eine Stahlbandgießkokille, insbesondere für Stahlbänder unter 60 mm Dicke beschrieben, bestehend aus einer einstückigen Stahlplatte, die länger ist als der Abstand zwischen Kokillenabdichtbereich und gemeinsamer Achsebene des Rollen- oder Walzensatzes. Diese Anfahrvorrichtung wird in die Kokille herabgelassen, bis ihr Stütz- und Ausförderbereich vom ersten Walzen- oder Rollenpaar erfasst wird und die Oberkante des Abdichtbereichs mit der Abdichtebene der Kokille übereinstimmt. Nach dem Angießen und Bildung einer belastbaren Verbindung zwischen der Anfahrvorrichtung und dem gegossenen Stahlband erfolgt die Ausförderung durch das Rollen- oder Walzenpaar. Auch bei diesem bekannten Verfahren ist eine nachfolgende Anpassung der Strangführung an den sich einstellenden Wechsel der Strangdicke erforderlich.Furthermore, in EP-A-363 732 a starting device for a Steel strip casting mold, especially for steel strips with a thickness of less than 60 mm described, consisting of a one-piece steel plate, which is longer than the distance between the mold sealing area and the common axis plane of the roller or roller set. This starting device is in the Lowered mold until its support and discharge area from the first Roll or roller pair is detected and the upper edge of the Sealing area coincides with the sealing level of the mold. After this Casting on and forming a resilient connection between the The starting device and the cast steel belt are conveyed out through the pair of rollers or rollers. Even with this known method is a subsequent adjustment of the strand guide to itself setting change of strand thickness required.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein betriebssicheres Verfahren zur Herstellung von Dünnbrammen oder Stahlbändern hoher Qualität durch Stranggießen und anschließende Rollverformung zu schaffen, wobei eine Dickenänderung des Stranges möglich ist. Insbesondere soll der Gießbeginn mit geringem konstruktiven und steuerungstechnischen Aufwand durchführbar sein und der angießbedingte Schrottanfall verringert werden.The invention has for its object an operationally reliable method for the production of thin slabs or steel strips of high quality Continuous casting and subsequent roll forming to create a Change in thickness of the strand is possible. In particular, the start of the casting should can be carried out with little design and control effort and the amount of scrap caused by casting on is reduced.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren der angegebenen Gattung erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass bei Gießbeginn ein Strang mit einer etwa dem Fertigmaß-Rollenspalt des Quetschwalzenpaares entsprechender Dicke, die der Dicke des Anfahrstranges entspricht, gegossen wird, der aus erstarrter Strangschale und flüssigem Kern bestehende Strang zwischen die Quetschwalzen geführt wird und, sobald der gegossene Strang das Quetschwalzenpaar und die darunter angeordneten Führungsrollen erreicht, die Gießdicke des Stranges kontinuierlich vergrößert und der dickere Gießstrang zwischen den Pressrollen auf das Fertigmaß rollverformt wird.The task is given in a method of the type specified achieved according to the invention in that a strand with at the start of casting one about the finished size roller gap of the pair of squeeze rollers corresponding thickness, which corresponds to the thickness of the starting strand, is poured, the solidified strand shell and liquid core existing strand is guided between the nip rollers and as soon as the cast strand, the pair of squeeze rollers and the ones arranged underneath Leadership roles achieved that Casting thickness of the strand increases continuously and the thicker casting strand between the press rolls to the finished size is roll deformed.

Durch die enge Stellung der Kokille kann der Angießvorgang mit einem dünnen Anfahrstrang schnell und betriebssicher durchgeführt werden. Eine Verstellung der nachgeordneten Rollenführung ist beim Angießen nicht erforderlich. Der Schrottanfall ist aufgrund des schmalen Anfangsquerschnitts und ohne ein längeres Übergangsstück gering.Due to the close position of the mold, the casting process can be carried out with carried out quickly and reliably using a thin start-up line become. An adjustment of the subordinate role guidance is not necessary when pouring. The amount of junk is due to the narrow initial cross section and small without a longer transition piece.

Die Erfindung schlägt weiter vor, daß die Gießdicke des Stranges bei Gießbeginn 40 - 60 mm und danach 60 - 80 mm beträgt und der fertige Dünnbrammen- oder Stahlbandstrang von der Strangspitze an eine einheitliche Fertigdicke im Bereich von 40 - 60 mm aufweist.The invention further proposes that the casting thickness of the strand at the start of casting is 40 - 60 mm and then 60 - 80 mm and the finished thin slab or steel strip strand from the Strand tip to a uniform finished thickness in the area 40 - 60 mm.

Nach der Vergrößerung der Gießdicke kann die Gießbreite des Brammenstranges eingestellt werden.After increasing the casting thickness, the casting width of the Slab strand can be set.
