Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Stranggießen von Stahl, bestehend aus eine Tauchgießrohr mit länglichem Querschnitt und einer, Längs- und Breitseiten aufweisenden Stranggießkokille, insbesondere zum Gießen von Dünnbrammen.The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of steel, consisting of a dip tube with an elongated cross-section and one, long and wide sides Continuous casting mold, in particular for casting thin slabs.

Tauchgießrohre weisen bei ihrem Anschluß an den Gießbehälter regelmäßig eine runde, überwiegend kreisrunde oder auch elliptische Form auf. Diese Form kann sich bis zum Mündungsbereich des Tauchgießrohres fortsetzen, sie kann aber auch in eine andere Form, beispielsweise in eine rechteckige Form übergehen. So ist aus der DE OS 24 42 187 ein Tauchgießrohr bekannt, dessen mindestens in seinen in die Schmelze eintauchenden Abschnitt ein im wesentlichen rechteckigen Außen- und Innenquerschnitt aufweist. Die Längskanten dieses Tauchgießrohres laufen parallel zu den Längsseiten der Stranggießkokille, so daß insbesondere bei rechteckigen Strangquerschnitten ein optimaler Raum für den Strömungsquerschnitt ausgenutzt wird.
Der bei Normalbrammen hierbei zur Verfügung stehende Strömungsquerschnitt zwischen der Kokillenbreitseite und der Tauchgießrohraußenwand ist bei Kokillen für die Herstellung von Dünnbrammen nicht mehr gegeben. Hinzu tritt, daß die durch das Tauchgießrohr geführten Flüssig-Stahlmengen bei den heutigen geforderten Gießleistungen deutlich höhere Gießgeschwindigkeiten aufweisen, als es bei der aus der o. g. 20 Jahre alten Schrift bekannten Kokille üblich war. Die Strömung des flüssigen Stahls ist dabei so groß, daß es zu deutlichen Badoberflächenbewegungen besonders im Bereich zwischen dem Tauchgießrohr und den Kokillenlängsseiten kommt.
Immersion pipes have a round, predominantly circular or elliptical shape when they are connected to the casting tank. This shape can continue up to the mouth area of the immersion pouring tube, but it can also change into another shape, for example a rectangular shape. For example, from DE OS 24 42 187 an immersion pouring tube is known whose at least in its section immersed in the melt has a substantially rectangular outer and inner cross section. The longitudinal edges of this immersion pouring tube run parallel to the long sides of the continuous casting mold, so that an optimal space for the flow cross section is used, in particular in the case of rectangular strand cross sections.
The flow cross-section available here with normal slabs between the broad side of the mold and the outer pouring tube wall is no longer present in the case of molds for the production of thin slabs. Added to this is the fact that the quantities of liquid steel guided through the immersion pouring tube have significantly higher pouring speeds than the molds known from the above-mentioned 20-year-old document, given the casting performance required today. The flow of the molten steel is so great that there are clear movements of the bath surface, especially in the area between the immersion nozzle and the long sides of the mold.

Aus WO 89/12519 ist es bekannt, Tauchgießrohre einzusetzen, deren in die Schmelze eintauchender Abschnitt die Form eines plattgedrückten Rohres mit parallel geführten Seitenwänden aufweist. Dieser breitmäulige Tauchgießrohrabschnitt weist dabei Öffnungen auf, die allein oder zusammen mit Strömungsleitelementen den Ausfluß des flüssigen Stahls aus dem Tauchgießrohr so führen, daß einzelne Flüssigmetallströme sich kreuzen und somit zu einer Verringerung der Strömung führen.
Weiterhin ist aus der Schrift DE 41 42 447 C2 ein Tauchgießrohr zum Einleiten von Stahlschmelze in eine Kokille bekannt, bei dem die Innenwand des den Querschnitt erweiternden Teils des Tauchgießrohres zusammen mit den gegenüberliegenden Wandteilen des Bodenstücks Strömungskanäle bilden. Das aus dieser Schrift bekannte Tauchgießrohr nimmt Einfluß auf die das Tauchgießrohr durchströmende Schmelze, insbesondere auf den Austrittsimpuls des Gießstrahles. Die Außenform des Tauchgießrohres entspricht einem langgestrecktem Oval.
Bei den bekannten Tauchgießrohrformen kommt es besonders im Bereich der Ecken im kokillenbreitseitigen Bereich infolge der Strömung des Stahl zu Turbulenzen und Wirbeln. Hierbei treten im Bereich der Längsseiten des Tauchgießrohres Wellenberge und -täler auf mit der nachteiligen Folge einer ungleichmäßigen Schlackeversorgung im Bereich des freien Kokillenquerschnitts im Schatten des Tauchgießrohres. Dies führt zu ungleichmäßiger Schmierung und einem ungleichförmigen Wärmeübergang zwischen der sich aus dem Flüssigstahl bildenden Strangschale und der Kokillenwand, was auch noch ein Einziehen von Schlacke und Gießpulver unter die Badoberfläche zur Folge hat.
From WO 89/12519 it is known to use immersion pouring tubes, the portion of which immersed in the melt has the shape of a flattened tube with parallel side walls. This wide-mouthed immersion pouring tube section has openings which, alone or together with flow guiding elements, guide the outflow of the liquid steel from the immersion pouring tube in such a way that individual liquid metal flows intersect and thus lead to a reduction in the flow.
Furthermore, from the document DE 41 42 447 C2 an immersion pouring tube for introducing molten steel into a mold is known, in which the inner wall of the part of the immersion pouring tube widening the cross section forms flow channels together with the opposite wall parts of the base piece. The immersion pouring tube known from this document influences the melt flowing through the immersion pouring tube, in particular the exit impulse of the pouring jet. The outer shape of the immersion pouring tube corresponds to an elongated oval.
In the known immersion pouring tube shapes, turbulence and eddies occur particularly in the corners in the area of the mold wide side as a result of the flow of the steel. Here, wave peaks and valleys occur in the area of the long sides of the immersion pouring tube, with the disadvantageous consequence of an uneven supply of slag in the area of the free mold cross section in the shadow of the immersion pouring tube. This leads to uneven lubrication and a non-uniform heat transfer between the strand shell formed from the liquid steel and the mold wall, which also results in the drawing in of slag and casting powder under the bath surface.

Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, die in konstruktiv einfachem Aufbau die kinetische Energie des flüssigen Stahls in dem Bereich zwischen dem in die Schmelze eingetauchten Abschnitt des Tauchgießrohres und den Kokillenlängsseiten abbaut und vorgebbar auf die Strömungsausbildung des in der Kokille befindlichen Flüssigstahls im Bereich der Badoberfläche Einfluß nimmt.The invention has set itself the goal of creating a device that is constructive simple construction the kinetic energy of the liquid steel in the area between the section of the immersion tube immersed in the melt and the Dismantles the long sides of the mold and can be predefined on the flow formation in the Liquid steel in the mold area in the bath surface affects.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die Unteransprüche zeigen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen auf.The invention achieves this aim by the features of claim 1. The subclaims show advantageous developments.

Die das Tauchgießrohr verlassende Stahlschmelze bewegt sich anfänglich in Förderrichtung des Stranges. In Abhängigkeit der Richtung der Austrittsöffnungen des Tauchgießrohres und der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Flüssigstahls bewegt sich die Schmelze von der Mündung des Tauchgießrohres weg bis zu einem Punkt, in der sich die Strömungsrichtung des Flüssigstahls umkehrt und anschließend, in zwei einzelne Ströme aufgeteilt, in der Nähe der Breitseiten der Kokillen entgegen der Strangabzugsrichtung zur Badoberfläche strömt.The molten steel leaving the immersion pouring tube initially moves in the conveying direction of the strand. Depending on the direction of the outlet openings of the Immersion pouring tube and the flow rate of the liquid steel moves the Melt away from the mouth of the immersion nozzle to a point where reverses the direction of flow of the molten steel and then, into two separate ones Streams divided, near the broad sides of the molds against the direction of strand withdrawal flows to the bathroom surface.

Im Bereich der Badoberfläche bewegen sich die beiden getrennten Ströme des Flüssigstahls in Richtung Tauchgießrohr, sie werden an der den Breitseiten zugeneigten Außenwänden des Tauchgießrohres abgelenkt und in den Freiraum zwischen der Längsseite der Kokille und der Längsseite des Tauchgießrohres geführt. In Höhe der Mittenachse der Kokille prallen in den Freiräumen zu beiden Seiten des Tauchgießrohres die einzelnen in horizontaler Richtung sich bewegenden Stahlströme aufeinander und fließen gemeinsam in Strangabzugsrichtung ab.Move in the area of the bathroom surface the two separate streams of the liquid steel towards the immersion nozzle, they will deflected on the broad walls inclined outer walls of the immersion nozzle and in the space between the long side of the mold and the long side of the Immersed pouring pipe. At the height of the center axis of the mold, it bounces in the open spaces on both sides of the immersion nozzle, the individual in the horizontal direction moving steel flows on each other and flow together in the direction of strand withdrawal from.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung besitzt unabhängig von der Ausgestaltung der Rohrinnenwand eine Rohraußenwandform, die bei beliebiger Eintauchtiefe des Tauchgießrohres in die Stranggießkokille eine konstante Distanz zu den Kokillenlängsseiten aufweist. An den Breitseiten des Tauchgießrohres im in die Schmelze eintauchenden Bereich sind Formelemente vorgesehen, die der horizontalen Strömung der in der Kokille befindlichen Schmelze und dem auf ihr schwimmenden Gießpulver einen minimalen Widerstand entgegensetzen.
Die Außenwand des in die Schmelze eintauchenden Bereichs des Tauchgießrohres ist entweder unmittelbar so ausgestaltet, daß ein minimaler Strömungswiderstand gegenüber der horizontal fließenden Schmelze erreicht wird oder es sind unabhängige Bauteile vorgesehen, die vor der Tauchgießrohrbreitseite angeordnet sind.
Die Tauchgießrohrinnenwand wie auch die Tauchgießrohraußenwand erhalten Formen, die jeweils optimale Strömungsverhältnisse sowohl im Tauchgießrohr wie auch um das Tauchgießrohr herum erlauben. Bei einstückigen Tauchgießrohren werden Wandstärkenänderungen auftreten. Bei der Verwendung von unabhängigen Bauteilen für die Formelemente werden Tauchgießrohre eingesetzt, die eine gleichmäßige Wandstärke besitzen, die sich im wesentlichen nach der Form der Rohrinnenwand richtet.
Regardless of the design of the inner tube wall, the device according to the invention has an outer tube wall shape which, at any immersion depth of the immersed pouring tube in the continuous casting mold, is at a constant distance from the long sides of the mold. Shaped elements are provided on the broad sides of the immersion pouring tube in the area immersed in the melt, which provide minimal resistance to the horizontal flow of the melt located in the mold and the casting powder floating on it.
The outer wall of the area of the immersion pouring tube which is immersed in the melt is either directly designed in such a way that a minimal flow resistance to the horizontally flowing melt is achieved, or independent components are provided which are arranged in front of the broadside of the immersion pouring tube.
The inner wall of the immersion nozzle as well as the outer wall of the immersion nozzle are given shapes that allow optimal flow conditions both in the immersion nozzle and around the immersion nozzle. Wall thickness changes will occur with one-piece immersion pipes. When using independent components for the shaped elements, immersion pouring tubes are used which have a uniform wall thickness, which essentially depends on the shape of the inner tube wall.

Als vorteilhafte Formen der Breitseiten des Tauchgießrohres werden vorgeschlagen, eine keilförmige Ausgestaltung mit gegen die Strömung weisender Spitze oder ein sog. Taylor-Wulst. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen aus dem Schiffbau bekannten Bugwulst, also eine wulstartige Verdickung an der Außenwand.Advantageous forms of the broad sides of the immersion pouring tube are proposed a wedge-shaped configuration with the tip pointing against the flow or a so-called. Taylor bead. This is a bow bulge known from shipbuilding, a bulge-like thickening on the outer wall.

Losgelöst von den genannten Formen der Rohraußenwand des Tauchgießrohres wird vorgeschlagen, die Breitseite der Rohrinnenwand des Tauchgießrohres mit einer konischen Erweiterung auszugestalten, vorzugsweise mit einem Neigungswinkel von 4° bis 7°. Hierdurch wird auf die Strömung im Bereich des Gießspiegels in der Weise Einfluß genommen, daß dieser in besonderer Weise ruhig strömt. Die besondere Ausgestaltung der Breitseitenaußenkontur des Tauchgießrohres kann anschließend optimal Einfluß auf die Strömung in dem Freiraum zwischen Tauchrohrlängsseiten und Kokillenlängsseiten nehmen.It is detached from the above-mentioned forms of the outer tube wall of the immersion pouring tube proposed the broad side of the inner tube wall of the immersion pouring tube with a conical Design extension, preferably with an inclination of 4 ° to 7 °. In this way, the flow in the area of the casting mirror is influenced in this way taken that this flows calmly in a special way. The special design the broadside outer contour of the immersion pouring tube can then have an optimal influence on the flow in the space between the sides of the dip tube and the sides of the mold to take.

  1. An apparatus for continuously casting steel, consisting of a submerged casting tube with an oblong cross section and a continuous casting mould comprising lengthwise sides and widthwise sides, in particular for casting thin slabs, wherein the submerged casting tube is connected at one end to a casting vessel and at the other end projects into the mould to such an extent that, during casting operation, the mouth is immersed in the steel melt located in the mould,
    wherein the outer wall (12) of the submerged casting tube (10) exhibits a shape, in its lengthwise side area (17) facing the lengthwise side (21) of the mould, which exhibits a constant distance (d) from the lengthwise sides (21) of the mould irrespective of the depth to which the submerged casting tube is immersed in the melt located in the continuous casting mould and the outer wall (12) of the submerged casting tube (10) comprises shaped elements (31), in its widthwise side areas (16) facing the widthwise sides (22) of the mould, which exhibit the shape of a wedge (32) with an apex or Taylor bead (34) oriented counter to flow, such that they present minimal resistance to horizontal flow of the steel melt and the casting powder floating thereon.
  2. A submerged casting tube according to claim 1,
    characterised in that
    the tube outer wall (12) of the lengthwise side area (17) is a surface equidistant from the lengthwise side (21) of the mould and the tube inner wall (11) takes the form of a flat surface.
  3. A submerged casting tube according to claim 2,
    characterised in that
    the inner wall (11) on the widthwise side (16) of the submerged casting tube comprises a conically widened portion (15) and
    the angle of inclination (α) of the conically widened portion (15) is α = 4° to 20°.
  4. A submerged casting tube according to one of the above-mentioned claims,
    characterised in that
    the distance (d) from the outer wall (12) of the submerged casting tube (10) to the maximum mould width (B) has the value d = 0.15 to 0.3.
  5. A submerged casting tube according to claim 1,
    characterised in that
    the wedge angle of the shaped element (31) in the form of a wedge (32) is β = 30° to 60°.
  6. A submerged casting tube according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterised in that
    the shaped elements (31) are independent components, which are attached to the outer wall (12) of the submerged casting tube (10) by retaining elements (37, 38).
  7. A submerged casting tube according to claim 6,
    characterised in that
    the shaped elements (31) in the form of independent components are spaced by a distance (c) = 3 to 10 mm from the outer wall (12) of the submerged casting tube (10).
