According to the invention, the cross-sectional area at least in the inlet region of the mould (41) has a polygonal, oval to circular contour, the periphery of this cross-sectional area being less than 640 mm, corresponding to a squared billet format with an edge length a </= 160 mm. An immersion tube (31 or 35), which is connected to the melt-delivery vessel (10) and whose outer edges (34) are disposed equidistant relative to the inner surface of the mould (41), projects into the latter.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stranggießanlage für Knüppel.The invention relates to a continuous caster for billets.

Diese Stranggießanlage ist insbesondere zum Vergießen von Knüppeln aus Stahl gedacht.This continuous caster is particularly suitable for casting steel billets thought.

Knüppelanlagen werden üblicherweise über eine Düse im Verteiler mit freifallendem Gießstrahl in die Kokille gegossen. Zur Schmierung des Stranges findet hier Öl Verwendung.Stick systems are usually used with a free-falling nozzle in the distributor Pouring stream poured into the mold. Oil is used here to lubricate the strand Use.

Aus der EP 0 545 510 ist ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Walzvormaterial bekannt, bei dem flüssiger Stahl in eine wassergekühlte Stranggießkokille gegossen wird und der Stahl zum Teil unter Bildung einer ringförmigen Strangschale mit einer runden oder ovalen Form der Querschnittsfläche des Stranges erstarrt, wobei der so in der Kokille erzeugte Strang unterhalb der Kokille durch Stützmittel in seiner Querschnittsfläche reduziert wird.From EP 0 545 510 a method for producing rolled raw material is known, where the liquid steel is poured into a water-cooled continuous casting mold and the steel partly with the formation of an annular strand shell with a round or oval shape of the cross-sectional area of the strand solidifies, the so in the mold produced strand below the mold by proppant in its cross-sectional area is reduced.

Dieser Schrift ist zu entnehmen, daß eine Stranggießkokille herkömmlicher Bauart eingesetzt wird, also eine Düse mit freifallendem Gießstrahl und Öl als Schmiermittel.This document shows that a continuous casting mold of a conventional type a nozzle with a free-falling pouring jet and oil as a lubricant is used.

Aus der DE 43 19 966 A1 ist es bekannt, dem Tauchausguß eine Form zu geben, dessen Aussenkanten äquidistant zur Innenfläche der Kokille ausgestaltet ist.From DE 43 19 966 A1 it is known to give the immersion spout a shape whose outer edges are designed equidistant from the inner surface of the mold.

Aus DE-OS 2042897 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Gießen mit Gießrohren auf einer Stranggießanlage für Stahl bekannt, wobei mindestens eine Austrittsöffnung eines Gießrohres unterhalb eines mit Schlacke abgedeckten Badspiegels ausmündet, wobei das Gießrohr zum Schutz gegen Erosion von einem feuerfesten Ring umgeben ist.From DE-OS 2042897 is a device for casting with pouring tubes on one Continuous caster for steel is known, with at least one outlet opening Pouring tube opens out below a bath level covered with slag, whereby the pouring tube is surrounded by a fire-proof ring to protect against erosion.

Die Abmessungen der angegebenen Beispiele, insbesondere die Anordnung der Austrittsöffnung des Tauchrohres sind ein Hinweis darauf, daß es sich um eine Kokille für eine Brammenstranggießanlage für Stahl handelt.The dimensions of the examples given, in particular the arrangement of the Outlet opening of the dip tube are an indication that it is a mold for a slab caster for steel.

Weiterhin sind Stranggießanlagen zum Herstellen von Knüppel und Blöcken aus stranggegossenen Stahlerzeugnissen bekannt, mit Abmessungen, deren Querschnittsflächen der Kokilleneintritte eine Größe aufweisen, bei denen normale Tauchausgüsse einsetzbar sind.Continuous casting plants for the production of billets and blocks are also made known continuously cast steel products, with dimensions whose Cross-sectional areas of the mold inlets have a size at which normal Dipping spouts can be used.

Sowohl aus der WO 92/00819 wie auch der EP A 0389 918 sind Vorrichtunen bekannt, mit denen Gießpulver auf die Badoberfläche einer Schmelze aufbringbar sind.Devices are known both from WO 92/00819 and from EP A 0389 918, with which casting powder can be applied to the bath surface of a melt.

Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln eine Stranggießanlage für Knüppel mit bisher freifallendem Gießstrahl zu schaffen, bei der die Reoxidation des Gießstrahles zwischen Verteiler und Gießspiegel gemindert, die Oberfläche der Knüppel verbessert und die thermischen Verhältnisse sowohl der Strangschale wie der Kokillenhaut verbessert wird.The invention has set itself the goal of using simple constructive means Continuous caster for billets with previously free-flowing pouring stream to create reduced the reoxidation of the pouring stream between the distributor and the pouring level The surface of the billet improves and the thermal conditions of both the Strand shell as the mold skin is improved.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die Unteransprüche zeigen vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The invention achieves this goal by the characterizing features of Claim 1. The subclaims show advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, den Eintrittsquerschnitt der Kokille rund, oval bis polygonal auszugestalten und die wesentliche Verformung des Knüppels erst durch die der Kokille in Gießrichtung nachgeordneten Rollen durchzuführen. Betroffen sind hier Knüppelanlagen mit einem Quadratformat kleiner 160 mm, vorzugsweise unter 100 mm.
Werden bei diesen im wesentlichen quadratischen Formaten beispielsweise Rundkokillen eingesetzt, so wird eine Querschnitts- und Durchmesservergrößerung von 127 % erreicht. In diese bei vorgegebener Querschnittsfläche den Größenumfang aufweisenden Kokilleneintritt wird ein Tauchrohr eingesetzt, das in die Schmelze hineinragt in der Weise, daß dessen Außenkontur äquidistant zur Innenfläche der Kokille angeordnet ist. Auf diese in dem Freiraum zwischen Kokilleninnenwand und Tauchrohraußenmantel befindliche Ringfläche der Schmelze wird Gießpulver aufgebracht.
According to the invention, it is proposed to design the inlet cross section of the mold to be round, oval to polygonal and to carry out the essential deformation of the billet only by the rollers arranged downstream of the mold in the casting direction. This affects billet systems with a square format smaller than 160 mm, preferably less than 100 mm.
If, for example, round molds are used in these essentially square formats, an increase in cross-section and diameter of 127% is achieved. A dip tube is inserted into this mold inlet, which has the size range for a given cross-sectional area, and protrudes into the melt in such a way that its outer contour is arranged equidistant from the inner surface of the mold. Casting powder is applied to this annular surface of the melt located in the space between the inner wall of the mold and the outer tube of the dip tube.

Das Gießen mit einem Tauchausguß und Gießpulver bei Knüppelanlagen führt neben der Verminderung der Reoxidation des Gießstrahls zwischen Verteiler und Gießspiegel durch den Gießschlackefilm zwischen Strangschale und Kokillenwand zu einem Vergleichmäßigen und stark reduzierten Wärmeübergang. Diese sanfte Kühlung führt zu einer Strangschalenbildung, mit folgenden Vorteilen:

  • Die Strangschale nimmt weniger Spannungen auf, die durch starke Temperaturgradienten hervorgerufen werden.
  • Die heißere Strangschale schmiegt sich besonders gut an die Kokilleninnenwandung an.
  • Die Strangschale selber kann bessere Dehnungen aufnehmen ohne zu reißen.
  • Der Schrumpf und damit die Strangschalenbelastung ist wesentlich geringer.
In addition to reducing the reoxidation of the pouring jet between the distributor and the casting level by the pouring slag film between the strand shell and the mold wall, pouring with a submerged nozzle and pouring powder in billet systems leads to a uniform and greatly reduced heat transfer. This gentle cooling leads to the formation of a strand shell, with the following advantages:
  • The strand shell absorbs less stresses that are caused by strong temperature gradients.
  • The hotter strand shell nestles particularly well against the mold inner wall.
  • The strand shell itself can absorb better strains without tearing.
  • The shrinkage and thus the strand shell load is significantly lower.

Desweiteren stellt sich eine geringe Hauttemperatur der Kokille und damit eine längere Lebensdauer der Kokille ein. Wird beispielsweise eine Rundkokille mit einem Durchmesser von 102 mm eingesetzt, so besitzt diese Querschnittsfläche den gleichen Umfang wie das Quadratformat eines Knüppels von Quadrat 80 mm.Furthermore, the skin temperature of the mold is low and therefore longer Life of the mold. For example, a round mold with a Diameter of 102 mm used, this cross-sectional area has the same size as the square format of a 80 mm square stick.

Durch den relativ großen Durchmesser von 102 mm wird es möglich, ein Tauchrohr mit gleichförmigen Abstand zur Kokillenwand von 20 mm über den gesamten Umfang von 360 Grad im Gießspiegel einzusetzen. Ein solches Tauchrohr kann zum Erreichen gewünschter Standzeiten eine Wandstärke mit für die Gießleistung erforderlichem Innendurchmesser von 20 mm aufweisen. Durch diese hohe Wandstärke ist eine Gießzeit von 8 bis 10 Std. zu erreichen bei gleichzeitig ausreichender Gießschlackenbildung im Gießspiegel, die für die Ausbildung des Schlackenfilms und damit den gesenkten und vergleichmäßigen Wärmestrom in der Kokille verantwortlich ist.The relatively large diameter of 102 mm makes it possible to use an immersion tube with a uniform distance to the mold wall of 20 mm over the entire circumference of 360 degrees in the mold level. Such a dip tube can be reached desired service life a wall thickness with the necessary for the casting performance Have an inside diameter of 20 mm. Due to this high wall thickness is one To achieve casting time of 8 to 10 hours with sufficient at the same time Casting slag formation in the mold level, which is responsible for the formation of the slag film and thus responsible for the reduced and even heat flow in the mold is.

Bei einer möglichen konstanten Gießgeschwindigkeit von z. B. 3 m/min. ist eine Gießschlackenversorgung sichergestellt. Diese steigt sogar mit größer werdender Strangdicke und gleicher Gießgeschwindigkeit an, bedingt durch den größer werdenden Abstand zwischen Tauchrohr und Kokillenwand.With a possible constant casting speed of z. B. 3 m / min. is a Cast slag supply ensured. This increases even with increasing Strand thickness and the same casting speed, due to the larger distance between dip tube and mold wall.

Die Gießwalztechnik eines Rundformates in der Kokille auf ein äquivalentes Quadratformat unterhalb der Kokille führt zu einer Querschnittsverkleinerung von ca. 21 % und damit gleichzeitig zu einer Veränderung der Stranginnenqualität hinsichtlich der:

  • Verminderung von Makroseigerung
  • Verringerung der Kristall- und damit der Korngröße
  • Förderung der globularen Erstarrung bis in den Kem
  • Verminderung bis Verhinderung der Kernporösität
The casting and rolling technology of a round format in the mold to an equivalent square format below the mold leads to a reduction in cross-section of approx. 21% and, at the same time, to a change in the strand internal quality with regard to:
  • Reduction of Macro Boost
  • Reduction of the crystal and thus the grain size
  • Promotion of global solidification down to the core
  • Reduction to prevention of core porosity

Das Rundformat erlaubt, bedingt durch die feinere und gleichförmigere Führung in der Kokille ein Gießen mit hoher Sicherheit, auch bei hoher Gießgeschwindigkeit bis zu 12 m/min, mit den Folgen:

  • Verringerung der Durchbruchsrate
  • Bei gleichzeitiger Steigerung der Gießgeschwindigkeit
Due to the finer and more uniform guidance in the mold, the round format allows casting with a high level of reliability, even at high casting speeds of up to 12 m / min, with the following consequences:
  • Reduction in breakthrough rates
  • While increasing the casting speed

Durch den Einsatz eines Tauchrohres wird der Einsatz einer Verteilerverschlußregelung durch Stopfen oder Schieber möglich. Statt des bei Knüppelanlagen üblichen abzugsgeregelten Stranggießens wird hierdurch die Nichtkonstanz der Gießgeschwindigkeit, die sonst bedingt wird durch die Veränderung der Verteilerdüse während des Gießens, z.B. durch Verstopfung oder Erosion der Düsenöffnung mit den Folgen der nicht gewollten Verringerung bzw. Erhöhung der Gießgeschwindigkeit, vermieden.By using a dip tube, the use of a Distribution lock regulation possible by plug or slide. Instead of at Stick systems usual deduction-controlled continuous casting is thereby Inconsistency of the casting speed, which is otherwise caused by the change the distributor nozzle during casting, e.g. due to constipation or erosion of the Nozzle opening with the consequences of the unwanted reduction or increase in Pouring speed, avoided.

Durch den Einsatz der Verteilerverschlußregelung und den Einsatz von Gießpulver wird die Gießleistung, die Gießzeit, die Innenqualität und vor allem die Oberflächenqualität positiv beeinflußt. So neigen die nach der vorgeschlagenen Stranggießanlage gegossenen Knüppel weniger zu Innenrissen, aber auch nicht zu Oberflächenrissen, vorzugsweise Längsrissen und zu Depressionen wie auch zu Strangschalenverwerfungen, z. B. Spießkant. By using the distributor lock control and the use of casting powder the casting performance, the casting time, the internal quality and above all the Surface quality positively influenced. So those tend to be suggested Continuous casting machine cast billets less to internal cracks, but not too Surface cracks, preferably longitudinal cracks and depression as well Strand shell faults, e.g. B. Spike edge.

Neben den aufgeführten Vorteilen kann, bedingt durch die Verminderung der Reoxidatin des Gießstrahles begründet durch den Einsatz des Tauchrohres und des Gießpulvers auch aluminiumberuhigter Stahl gegossen werden.In addition to the advantages listed, the reduction in Reoxidatin of the pouring stream is due to the use of the dip tube and the Casting powder can also be poured into aluminum-cooled steel.
