Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Fuhren von Strängen einer kontinuierlich gießenden Stranggießanlage, insbesondere einer Anlagen zum Erzeugen von Dünnbrammen aus Stahl, mit einer Kokille und einem mit einer Kühleinrichtung versehenen Strangführungsgerüst, wobei der Strang durch ein gasförmiges Medium in Form gehalten, in Strangauszugsrichtung geführt und gekühlt wird, sowie eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for guiding strands of a continuously pouring Continuous casting plant, in particular a plant for producing thin slabs from steel, with a mold and a strand guide frame provided with a cooling device, wherein the strand is held in shape by a gaseous medium and guided in the direction of the strand pull-out and cooled, and a device for performing the method.

Ein derartiges Verfahren bzw. die Einrichtung ist aus der AU-A-49917 bekannt.Such a method or the device is known from AU-A-49917.

Die Strangführung bei Stranggießanlagen von Brammen oder Vorblöcken wird regelmäßig durch unterhalb der Kokille angeordnete Rollen durchgeführt. Diese Rollen besitzen, soweit sie ungekühlt sind, einen Durchmesser von minimal etwa 100 mm und, soweit sie eine Innenkühlung aufweisen, einen Durchmesser von minimal etwa 140 mm. Bei Brammen-Stranggießanlagen, die eine Brammenbreite bis zu 3,5 m annehmen können, kommen geteilte Rollen mit Zwischenlagern zum Einsatz.The strand routing in slab or ingot continuous casting plants becomes regular performed by rollers arranged below the mold. As far as they have these roles are uncooled, a minimum diameter of about 100 mm and, insofar as they are one Have internal cooling, a diameter of at least about 140 mm. In slab caster, that can assume a slab width of up to 3.5 m come split Rollers with intermediate bearings are used.

Beim Einsatz von ungekühlten Rollen findet regelmäßig eine Spritzkühlung Verwendung. Diese Art der Spritzkühlung birgt die Gefahr der unkontrollierten Kühlung des Stranges in sich, die zu Strangoberflächenrissen führen kann.Spray cooling is regularly used when using uncooled rollers. This The type of spray cooling harbors the risk of uncontrolled cooling of the strand Strand surface cracks can result.

Der Rollendurchmesser in Verbindung mit der Strangbreite bestimmt den Abstand der einzelnen Rollen zueinander. Dieser Rollenabstand, der als charakteristische Größe für die Strangstützung bzw. die Strangausbauchung anzusehen ist, nimmt direkten Einfluß auf die Strangqualität. Die Ausbauchung eines Stranges ist abhängig von der Gießgeschwindigkeit und vom Abstand der Rollen zueinander. Während bei Standardbrammen mit einer Dicke von etwa 200 mm mit einer maximalen Geschwindigkeit von 2,2 m/min. gegossen wird. werden Dünnbrammen bei einer Dicke von etwa 50 mm mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 6 m/min. gegossen, wobei Geschwindigkeiten von 8 m/min. angestrebt werden.The roll diameter in connection with the strand width determines the distance between the individual roles to each other. This roller distance, which is a characteristic variable for strand support or strand bulge is to be considered directly the strand quality. The bulging of a strand depends on the casting speed and the distance between the rollers. While standard slabs with a thickness of about 200 mm with a maximum speed of 2.2 m / min. is poured. become Thin slabs with a thickness of about 50 mm with a speed of 6 m / min. poured, with speeds of 8 m / min. be aimed for.

Verschärfend kommt hinzu, daß die Strangschale von Dünnbrammen vor Austritt aus der Kokille bis zu ihrer Erstarrung im Vergleich zu Strangschalen bei Standardbrammen am gleichen metallurgischen Ort deutlich heißer ist.To make matters worse, the strand shell is made of thin slabs before it emerges the mold until it solidifies compared to strand shells for standard slabs is significantly hotter in the same metallurgical location.

Da der Rollendurchmesser wie auch der Abstand der einzelnen Rollen zueinander nicht beliebig verkleinert werden kann, steigt bei höheren Gießgeschwindigkeiten und gleichzeitig geringerer Gießdicke die Neigung zur Ausbauchung und damit zur Deformation des Stranges in nicht mehr beherrschbarer Weise an.Because the roll diameter and the distance between the individual rolls cannot be reduced arbitrarily, increases at higher casting speeds and at the same time, the pouring thickness is less and the tendency to bulge and thus to deform of the strand in an uncontrollable manner.

Neben den Strangführungsrollen sind auch Platten als Strangführungselemente bekannt. So wird in der EP 0 107 563 A1 ein Gitternetz vorgeschlagen, das unterhalb der Kokille angeordnet ist und durch dessen freien Raum ein Kühlmedium, z. B. Spritzwasser, gegen die Strangoberfläche gesprüht wird.In addition to the strand guide rollers, plates are also known as strand guide elements. For example, EP 0 107 563 A1 proposes a grid that is below the Mold is arranged and through the free space a cooling medium, for. B. splash water, is sprayed against the strand surface.

Die Nachteile dieser Elemente bestehen darin, daß hohe Reibkräfte zwischen dem Strang und den Platten auftreten. Und außerdem besteht die Gefahr von Qualitätsnachteilen in Form von Durchbrüchen aber auch von Verpuffung durch eingeschlossenes Wasser. Weiterhin sind für das Ausziehen des Stranges hohe Ausziehkräfte erforderlich, die zu einer hohen Strangschalenbelastung führen.The disadvantages of these elements are that high frictional forces between the Strand and the plates occur. And there is also the risk of quality disadvantages in the form of breakthroughs, but also deflagration by enclosed Water. Furthermore, high pull-out forces are required for pulling out the strand, which lead to high strand shell stress.

Die Erfindung hat sich daher das Ziel gesetzt, mit einfachen Mitteln eine Strangführung auch für hohe Gießgeschwindigkeiten zu schaffen, die mit konsttuktiv einfachen Mitteln verschleißarm die Herstellung von Strängen hoher Oberflächenqualität ermöglichen.The invention has therefore set itself the goal of simple strand management to create even for high casting speeds, with structurally simple means enable the production of strands of high surface quality with low wear.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Verfahrensanspruches 1 und des Vorrichtungsanspruches 5.The invention achieves this goal by the characterizing features of the method claim 1 and the device claim 5.

Erfindungsgemäß gleitet der Strang nach Verlassen der Kokille auf einem Gaspolster, das zwischen Plattensegmenten und dem Strang angelegt wird und seine Wärme wird ihm indirekt durch die Aufnahme der Strahlungswärme von den Strang nicht berührenden Kühlplatten entzogen. Als gasförmiges Medium kommt vorzugsweise Stickstoff zum Einsatz, das durch geeigneten Aufbau der Plattensegmente an der dem Strang zugewandten Wandung diesen in Form hält, in Strangaustragsrichtung führt und ergänzend zur Aufnahme der indirekten Wärme (Strahlung) durch die Kühlplatten durch das stömende Gas gekühlt wird.According to the invention, the strand slides on a gas cushion after leaving the mold, which is placed between plate segments and the strand and becomes its heat indirectly touching it by absorbing the radiant heat from the strand Withdrawn cooling plates. Nitrogen is preferably used as the gaseous medium to be used by the appropriate construction of the plate segments on the strand facing wall keeps it in shape, leads in the strand discharge direction and in addition to absorb the indirect heat (radiation) through the cooling plates the flowing gas is cooled.

In einer Bogenanlage wird der Strang über mehrere Biegepunkte oder auch kontinuierlich über eine gleichförmige Kurve gebogen. Die Arbeit die vom Gasfilm vom Segment O und den Folgesegmenten jeweils zu leisten ist, besteht aus dem Anteil:

  • Tragen des Stranges in Funktion von Gewichtsanteil entsprechend vom Ort der Strangführung zwischen Senkrecht- und Horizontalteil der Stranggießführung
  • Ausgleich des ferrostatischen Druckes in Funktion vom vertikalen Abstand zum Gießspiegel
  • Biegen und Richten des Stranges
  • Gießwalzen, Reduktion der Strangdicke während der Erstarrung
  • Fördern des Stranges.
In a bow system, the strand is bent over several bending points or continuously over a uniform curve. The work to be done by the gas film from segment O and the subsequent segments consists of the following:
  • Carrying the strand as a function of the weight proportion corresponding to the location of the strand guide between the vertical and horizontal part of the continuous casting guide
  • Equalization of the ferrostatic pressure as a function of the vertical distance to the mold level
  • Bending and straightening the strand
  • Casting rolls, reduction of the strand thickness during solidification
  • Convey the strand.

Weiterhin ist zu berücksichtigen, daß die Strangführungs-Plattensegmente auf der Oberseite keine Arbeit zum Tragen (Gewicht) des Stranges zu leisten haben. Außerdem ändern sich die spezifischen Arbeiten in den jeweiligen Segmenten bzw. über die metallurgische Länge vom Kokillenaustritt bis zum Strangführungsende.It should also be borne in mind that the strand guide plate segments on the No work to carry (weight) of the strand. Furthermore change the specific work in the respective segments or via the metallurgical length from the mold exit to the end of the strand guide.

Die unterschiedlichen Arbeiten pro Plattensegment werden über segmentspezifische Konstruktion und/oder Regeleinrichtung des Gasmediums in Druck mal Menge sichergestellt. Eine besondere Berücksichtigung findet hier die Abhängigkeit der aktuellen Schalendicke des Stranges. Bei der Auslegung der Anlage wird darauf geachtet, daß die auf den Strang einwirkende pneumatische Arbeit so gemessen ist, daß der Strang geleitet, gefördert und wenn gewünscht - in seiner Gießdicke reduziert aber nicht unkontrolliert durch Eindrücken, also negatives Ausbauchen, deformiert wird.The different works per panel segment are segment-specific Construction and / or control device of the gas medium in pressure times quantity ensured. The dependency of the current one is given special consideration Shell thickness of the strand. When designing the system, care is taken that the pneumatic work acting on the strand is measured so that the strand directed, promoted and if desired - but not reduced in its casting thickness is deformed uncontrolled by indentation, i.e. negative bulging.

Gleichzeitig wird der Strang zusätzlich über mechanische Mittel (hier im wesentlichen Stranggießrollen) in vorgebbarer Geschwindigkeit durch das Stranggerüst definiert bewegt. Die Rollen können den Transport bzw. die gewünschte Gießgeschwindigkeit und/oder die Biege- und Richtvorgänge unterstützen und übernehmen bzw. sicherstellen. Zur definierten Sicherstellung der Gießgeschwindigkeit wird die am Ende des Stranggießgerüstes angeordnete Rolle genutzt, da hier der Strang durcherstarrt ist.At the same time, the strand is additionally connected via mechanical means (here essentially Continuous casting rolls) defined by the continuous stand at a predeterminable speed emotional. The rollers can transport or the desired casting speed and / or support and take over or ensure the bending and straightening processes. To ensure the casting speed in a defined manner, the speed at the end of the Continuous casting stand arranged role used here, since the strand is completely solidified.

Die Antriebsenergien über den Gasstrom und die Stranggießrollen sind beliebig aufeinander abstimmbar. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird der Strang durch den Gasstrom gefördert und durch die Stranggießrollen in seiner Geschwindigkeit auf die Sollgeschwindigkeit abgebremst.The drive energies via the gas flow and the continuous casting rollers are arbitrary tunable. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Conveyed strand by the gas flow and by the continuous casting rollers at its speed braked to the target speed.

Die Plattensegmente bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem Hohlkörper, durch den ein Kühlmedium vorzugsweise saugend geleitet wird. In den Plattensegmenten ist auf der dem Strang zugeneigten Seite ein Netz von Verteilungsleitungen vorgesehen, durch die ein Gas, z.B. Stickstoff, geleitet wird. Die Verteilungsleitungen sind abschnittsweise miteinander verbunden und über Sammelleitungen an eine Gasförderstation angeschlossen. Die einzelnen Düsenöffnungen der Verteilungsleitungen können unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Auch ihre Verteilung wird entsprechend dem Arbeitsaufwand ihres Ortes in der Strangführung angepaßt. So können z.B. die Düsenzahl und/oder die Summe der Düsenöffnungen im Segment über eine metallurgische Länge und Breite funktional verändert sein, um an unterschiedlichen geometrischen Orten bei gleicher Druckversorgung unterschiedliche Arbeiten zu leisten. Diese Verteilung der Düsen im Sinne unterschiedlicher Leistungen bei gleichem Druck, z.B. pro Drucksystem (Segmentplatte, pneumatisches Kissen) kann sowohl quer als auch längs zur Gießrichtung vorliegen. Auch kann ein Segment an unterschiedlichen, voneinander unabhängigen pneumatischen Systemen angeschlossen sein.The plate segments essentially consist of a hollow body through which a Cooling medium is preferably passed suction. In the plate segments is on the a network of distribution lines is provided on the side inclined through the line which is a gas, e.g. Nitrogen. The distribution lines are section by section interconnected and connected to a gas production station via manifolds. The individual nozzle openings of the distribution lines can vary be trained. Their distribution will also be according to the amount of work adapted to their location in the strand guide. For example, the number of nozzles and / or the sum of the nozzle openings in the segment over a metallurgical length and width can be functionally changed to at different geometric locations to do different work with the same pressure supply. This distribution of Nozzles in the sense of different performances at the same pressure, e.g. per printing system (Segment plate, pneumatic cushion) can be used both transversely and lengthways Casting direction is available. Also, a segment can be different from each other independent pneumatic systems.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, die Düsen oder einen Teil der Düsen einem spitzen Neigungswinkel zur Gießrichtung zu geben, um die Förderung des Stranges zu unterstützen. Diese Unterstützung der Strangförderung stellt die Stranggießgeschwindigkeit sicher und unterstützt und vereinfacht den Arbeitsaufwand der zwischen den Plattensegmenten angeordneten Rollenpaare. Die Plattensegmente haben mindestens im Randbereich einen Abstand zur Strangoberfläche, der eine definierte Leckage des Gases zwischen dem Strang und der mindestens im Randbereich angeordneten Lippe zuläßt. It is also proposed that the nozzles or a part of the nozzles be pointed To give inclination to the casting direction to support the promotion of the strand. This support of the strand conveyance provides the continuous casting speed safe and supports and simplifies the workload between the plate segments arranged pairs of rollers. The plate segments have at least in Edge area a distance from the strand surface, which is a defined leakage of the Gases between the strand and the lip arranged at least in the edge region allows.

Die Plattensegmente sind an Aktuatoren, beispielsweise Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten, angeschlossen, mit denen die Distanz von Plattensegment und Strang und damit die Gasleckage vorgebbar einstellbar ist.The plate segments are on actuators, for example piston-cylinder units, connected with which the distance of plate segment and strand and thus the Gas leakage can be predetermined.

Die dem Strang zugeneigte Wandung ist in ihrer Ausgestaltung und im Werkstoff in der Weise aufgebaut, daß sie ein Maximum an Strahlungswärme abführen kann. Zum Einsatz kommt hier vorzugsweise Kupfer mit einer relativ geringen Wanddicke, um über das im Kühlkasten des Plattensegmentes angeordnete Kühlwasser die Wärme aufzunehmen.The wall inclined to the strand is in its design and in the material Built in such a way that it can dissipate a maximum of radiant heat. For use here comes preferably copper with a relatively small wall thickness to the cooling water arranged in the cooling box of the plate segment absorb the heat.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Wanddicke der dem Strang zugeneigten Wandung der Plattensegmente variiert und zwar in der Weise, daß die Dicke zur Plattenhauptachse hin abnimmt. Auch kann die dem Strang zugewandte Wandung des Segmentes mit einer verschleißfesten Schutzschicht, wie z. B. Nickel und/oder Chrom beschichtet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the wall thickness of the strand inclined wall of the plate segments varies in such a way that the Thickness decreases towards the main plate axis. The one facing the strand can also Wall of the segment with a wear-resistant protective layer, such as. B. Nickel and / or chrome coated.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist das Plattensegment aus Rohren aufgebaut, die mäanderförmig angeordnet sind und an deren Berührungslinien die Verteilleitungen für die Zufuhr des Gases eingeführt sind. Durch die Rohrleitung besteht die Möglichkeit, Kühlwasser hoher Geschwindigkeit durchzuführen und damit eine möglichst hohe Menge an Strahlungswärme aus dem Strang abzuführen.In one embodiment, the plate segment is constructed from tubes that are meandering are arranged and on the contact lines of the distribution lines for the supply of the gas are introduced. Through the pipeline there is the possibility of cooling water perform at high speed and thus the highest possible amount to dissipate radiant heat from the strand.

Um einen zentrischen Lauf des Stranges sicherzustellen, wird vorgeschlagen, die dem Strang zugeneigte Wandung der Plattensegmente in Förderrichtung des Stranges konkav auszugestalten. Das Maß der Konkavität der Wandung kann dabei an einer konkaven Kokille beginnen und im ersten Segment über alle Segmente der Strangführung reduziert werden, z.B. auf eine geringe Konkavität bzw. plane Oberfläche bis zum Ende des Strangführungsgerüstes, bzw. bis hin zur Durcherstarrung des Stranges. Auf diese Weise kann eine parallele Bramme oder auch eine Bramme mit gewünschtem konkaven Profil erzeugt werden.To ensure a central run of the strand, it is proposed that the Line inclined wall of the plate segments in the conveying direction of the line to be concave. The degree of concavity of the wall can be on one start concave mold and in the first segment over all segments of the strand guide be reduced, e.g. to a low concavity or flat surface up to End of the strand guide scaffold, or up to the solidification of the strand. On in this way a parallel slab or a slab with the desired one concave profile can be created.

Weiterhin kann auch das pneumatische Arbeitsprofil über die Segmentbreite durch beispielsweise unterschiedliche Lochstärken vorgegeben werden. So ist es z.B. vorteilhaft, in der Mitte des Plattensegmentes geringere pneumatische Arbeit aufzubauen, um der Membranwirkung des Stranges in seiner Mitte gerecht zu werden. Am Rand des Stranges, also im Kantenbereich, ist der Strang formfester als in seiner Mitte.Furthermore, the pneumatic working profile can also extend across the segment width For example, different hole thicknesses can be specified. So it is e.g. advantageous, to build up less pneumatic work in the middle of the plate segment, to do justice to the membrane effect of the strand in the middle. On the edge of the strand, i.e. in the edge area, the strand is more dimensionally stable than in the middle.

Außerdem kann bei vorgegebenen Banddicken die eingebrachte pneumatische Arbeit durch Öffnen oder Schließen der Plattensegmente in gleichem Gasdruck verringert oder vergrößert werden, d.h. der Abstand der Plattensegmente zum Strang wird variiert. Dieser pneumatische Arbeitswert kann durch den Abstand der Plattensegmentteile an der Ober- bzw. Unterseite und bei vorgegebener Brammendicke vorgegeben werden.In addition, the pneumatic work introduced can be carried out at given strip thicknesses reduced by opening or closing the plate segments in the same gas pressure or be enlarged, i.e. the distance between the plate segments and the strand is varied. This pneumatic work value can be due to the distance between the plate segment parts specified on the top or bottom and for a given slab thickness become.

Im wesentlichen wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung der Strang mit einer gewünschten Gießgeschwindigkeit pneumatisch durch die Stranggießmaschine gefördert. Die Motoren der Stranggießrollen übernehmen die Sicherstellung der genauen Soll-Gießgeschwindigkeit durch eine zusätzliche Arbeit, entweder Förderung (Motorbetrieb) oder die Rollen laufen im Generatorbetrieb und bremsen die Bramme auf die gewünschte Soll-Gießgeschwindigkeit. Steigt der Motorstrom über vorgegebene Grenzen hinaus, so wird die Basisgeschwindigkeit pneumatisch korrigiert.Essentially, in the device according to the invention, the strand with a desired The casting speed is conveyed pneumatically by the continuous casting machine. The motors of the continuous casters take care of ensuring the exact Target casting speed through additional work, either promotion (Motor operation) or the rollers run in generator operation and brake the slab to the desired target casting speed. If the motor current rises above the specified one Beyond limits, the base speed is corrected pneumatically.

Durch das vorgeschlagene Verfahren und die Vorrichtung wird erreicht, daß:

  • der Strang keine Ausbauchung und damit Deformation herteitet, auch bei hohen Gießgeschwindigkeiten bis zu 10 m/min
  • der Strang keine direkte Wasserkühlung benötigt und damit geringste Energieverluste aufweist
  • bei Einsatz von inertem Gas die Verzunderung des Stranges vermieden wird
  • ein progressives Biegen und Richten mit geringster flächenspezifischer Deformation möglich ist
  • ein progressives Gießwalzen und somit eine Reduktion der Dicke des Stranges während seiner Erstarrung möglich ist
  • keine drehenden Maschinenelemente vorhanden sind mit dem Vorteil
    • dadurch ein geringster Maschinenverschleiß gewährleistet ist, sowie
    • eine hohe Gießsicherheit im Vergleich zu den Spritwasser gekühlten sogenannten Grids erzielt wird
    • keine mechanischen Grenzen zum Fördern des Stranges auftreten, wie es z.B. bei Stranggießführungsgerüsten aus Rollen und hier besonders bei sehr breiten und schnell gießenden Brammenanlagen insbesondere Dünnbrammenanlagen der Fall ist.
The proposed method and the device achieve that:
  • the strand produces no bulge and thus deformation, even at high casting speeds of up to 10 m / min
  • the strand does not require direct water cooling and therefore has the least energy loss
  • the scaling of the strand is avoided when using inert gas
  • progressive bending and straightening with the smallest surface-specific deformation is possible
  • a progressive casting and thus a reduction in the thickness of the strand during its solidification is possible
  • there are no rotating machine elements with the advantage
    • this ensures the lowest possible machine wear and tear
    • a high level of pouring reliability is achieved in comparison to the so-called grids, which are cooled with fuel
    • there are no mechanical limits for conveying the strand, as is the case, for example, in continuous casting guide stands made from rollers and here in particular in the case of very wide and fast-pouring slab plants, in particular thin slab plants.
