Description

verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Kühlen schmelzflüssigen Stahlsmethod and device for cooling molten steel
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Kühlen schmelzflüssigen Stahls, insbesondere Bandgieβen, bei dem mindestens ein Teil des aus einer Düse eines metallurgischen GefäQes austretenden Flüssigmetalls durch Kontakt mit einer Kühlfläche erstarrt, sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for cooling molten steel, in particular strip casting, in which at least part of the liquid metal emerging from a nozzle of a metallurgical vessel solidifies by contact with a cooling surface, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
Beim kontinuierlichen GieBen oder StranggieQen wird das flüssige Metall in eine gekühlte Form geführt, wobei sich durch den Kontakt mit der Kühlform sich eine Erstarrungsfront von auβen beginnend zum Inneren des Stranges ausbildet. Zur Verbesserung der Qualität der Metallrohlinge ist bekannt, diesen ein inertes Gas zuzuführen.In continuous casting or continuous casting, the liquid metal is led into a cooled form, whereby a solidification front forms from the outside to the inside of the strand due to the contact with the cooling form. To improve the quality of the metal blanks, it is known to supply them with an inert gas.
So wird in der DE 05 21 63 928 vorgeschlagen, bei der Herstellung von Stahlrohlingen durch kontinuierliches Gießen eines Metallstrahls in eine gekühlte Form am oberen Teil der Form in der N he der Oberfläche des flüssigen Metalls über dem Metall inertes Gas einzuführen. Vorgeschlagen wird hierbei Stickstoff oder Argon, welches vorher durch Komprimieren und Absenken der Temperatur verflüssigt wird und in verflüssigtem Zustand auf die Oberfläche des Stahlrohlings aufgebracht wird.It is proposed in DE 05 21 63 928 to introduce inert gas into the production of steel blanks by continuously casting a metal jet into a cooled mold at the upper part of the mold near the surface of the liquid metal above the metal. Nitrogen or argon is proposed, which is liquefied beforehand by compressing and lowering the temperature and in liquefied state is applied to the surface of the steel blank.
Aus dieser Schrift ist es lediglich bekannt, flüssiges Metall einerFrom this document it is only known to be a liquid metal
Inertgasatmosphäre auszusetzen und den Gasstrahl so einzurichten, daQ das flüssige Metall des Rohrlings in eine Drehbewegung um eine senkrechte Achse versetzt wird.Expose to an inert gas atmosphere and set up the gas jet so that the liquid metal of the blank is rotated about a vertical axis.
Aus der Schrift DE 32 27 132 A1 ist es bekannt, einen aus einer Zumeβdüse austretenden Metallstrom in einen Schutzmantel aus inertem Gas, z. B. Argon oder Stickstoff einzuhüllen, um Luft von der Nähe der Metallschmelze fernzuhalten. Dieses unter Druck stehende inerte Gas schirmt den aus der Umgebungsluft stammenden Sauerstoff ab und verhindert dadurch eine Reoxidierung des freiliegenden Metallschmelzen-Miniskus. Eine weitergehende Beeinflussung des flüssigen Metalls entnimmt der Fachmann dieser Schrift nicht. Weiterhin ist der Einsatz inerten Gases zur Behandlung bereits erstarrter oder nur erwärmter metallischer Stränge oder Drähte bekannt. Erwähnt sei hier beispielsweise die Schrift DE 35 06 5S7A1, bei der ein Draht in einem Gehäuse einer Kühlkolonne einem leicht reduzierenden Gas ausgesetzt wird. Das hier eingesetzte Gas wird ungerichtet in das Gehäuse eingeführt und dient ausschließlich der Kühlung und üblicherweise der Verminderung einer Zunderbildung. Bei den zitierten Gieβverfahren wurde das inerte Gas entweder mit der flüssigen oder der bereits erstarrten Oberfläche in Kontakt gebracht. Beim BandgieQen, wie es etwa aus der Schrift DE 38 10 302 bekannt ist, wird das Flüssigmetall auf ein gekühles Endlosband aufgegeben und die freie Oberfläche des Bandstranges kühlt während seines Transportes auf dem Förderband ab, so daQ im vorderen Bereich in Düsennähe die freie Oberfläche noch flüssig ist und danach durch Abkühlung erstarrt. Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, ein Verfahren und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der EinfluQ auf die Oberfläche des metallischen Stranggutes sowohl auf seine Form wie auf seine Qualität genommen wird.From the document DE 32 27 132 A1 it is known that a metal stream emerging from a metering nozzle in a protective jacket made of inert gas, for. B. envelop argon or nitrogen to keep air away from the vicinity of the molten metal. This pressurized inert gas shields the oxygen from the ambient air and thereby prevents re-oxidation of the exposed molten metal miniscus. The person skilled in the art does not take any further influence on the liquid metal from this document. Furthermore, the use of inert gas for the treatment of solidified or only heated metallic strands or wires is known. For example, DE 35 06 5S7A1 should be mentioned, in which a wire in a housing of a cooling column is exposed to a slightly reducing gas. The gas used here is introduced into the housing in an undirected manner and is used exclusively for cooling and usually to reduce scale formation. In the casting processes cited, the inert gas was brought into contact with either the liquid or the already solidified surface. In BandgieQen, as is known from DE 38 10 302, for example, the liquid metal is placed on a cooled endless belt and the free surface of the belt strand cools during its transport on the conveyor belt, so that the free surface in the front area near the nozzle is still free is liquid and then solidifies by cooling. The invention has set itself the goal of creating a method and a corresponding device with which influence on the surface of the metallic extrudate is exerted both on its shape and on its quality.
Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 11.The invention achieves this aim by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 11.
Erfindungsgemaß wird ein Gasstrom auf die Oberfläche des frei zugänglichen flüssigen Stahlstranges unmittelbar nach seinem verlassen der Metalldüse des metallurgischen Gefäßes geleitet. Dabei wird die Strangoberfläche mindestens bis zum vollständigen Durcherstarren des Stahlstranges einem Gas ausgesetzt, das eine inerte Atmosphäre bildet. Neben der Möglichkeit des Einsatzes von sauerstoffarmen Gasen wie Rauchgas kommen hier insbesondere inerte Gase wie Argon oder Stickstoff zum Einsatz.According to the invention, a gas stream is directed onto the surface of the freely accessible liquid steel strand immediately after it leaves the metal nozzle of the metallurgical vessel. The strand surface is exposed to a gas that forms an inert atmosphere at least until the steel strand has completely solidified. In addition to the possibility of using low-oxygen gases such as flue gas, inert gases such as argon or nitrogen are used in particular.
Durch den Einsatz dieser Gase wird intensiv Einfluß auf die Oberfläche des Stahlstranges genommen, und zwar sowohl im flüssigen Bereich, wie im erstarrten Bereich, als auch im Übergangsbereich flüssig/fest. Zum einen wird hierdurch jegliche Verzunderung vermieden. Darüber hinaus wird durch den Einsatz des Gases in Düsennähe gezielt die Wärmeabfuhr und die Oberflächenspannung beeinflußt. In Abhängigkeit der gewünschten Qualität des Stahlstranges bzw. des Stahlbandes schlagen die Erfinder vor, das Gas entweder zu erhitzen und hierdurch ein Erstarren der Strangoberfläche für eine vorgebbare Strecke zu verhindern, oder in einer anderen Ausführungsform, das 6as soweit abzukühlen, daQ es in flüssiger Form gefördert wird. In beiden extremen Bereichen kann die Temperatur des Gases vorggebar geführt werden. Selbstverständlich kann das Gas auch bei Raumtemperatur eingesetzt werden. Neben der Temperatur wird in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, das Gas einer Menge und einer Geschwindigkeit in der Weise auf die Oberfläche des Stahlstranges zu leiten, daß Einfluß auf die Form des Gieβstranges genommen wird. Zum einen kann die Oberfläche gezielt eingedrückt werden und dem Gesamtstrang beispielsweise das Profil in Form einer Bombierung gegeben werden. Das Gas kann aber auch so gesteuert werden, daß die Gaskinetik ergänzend einen positiven Einfluß bei der Verminderung einer Beulenbildung nimmt.By using these gases, there is an intense influence on the surface of the steel strand, both in the liquid area, such as in the solidified area, and in the liquid / solid transition area. On the one hand, this prevents any scaling. In addition, the use of the gas in the vicinity of the nozzle specifically influences the heat dissipation and the surface tension. Depending on the desired quality of the steel strand or steel strip, the inventors propose either to heat the gas and thereby prevent the strand surface from solidifying for a predeterminable distance, or in another embodiment to cool the 6as to such an extent that it is in liquid form is promoted. The temperature of the gas can be pre-set in both extreme areas. Of course, the gas can also be used at room temperature. In addition to the temperature, it is proposed in an advantageous development of the invention to guide the gas in a quantity and at a speed to the surface of the steel strand in such a way that the shape of the casting strand is influenced. On the one hand, the surface can be deliberately pressed in and, for example, the profile can be given a crown in the form of a crown. However, the gas can also be controlled in such a way that the gas kinetics additionally have a positive influence in reducing the formation of bumps.
