Definitions
- the invention relates to the continuous casting of metals. Specifically, it relates to the conditioning of the external surface of the cylinder or cylinders which constitute the movable wall (s) of the molds for continuous casting of thin strips of metal such as steel.
- the ingot molds of the continuous casting machines of steel strips of some mm thick between two cylinders directly from liquid metal comprise a casting space defined by the lateral surfaces of two cylinders rotating in direction opposite around their axes kept horizontal and by two side plates in refractory plated against the edges of the cylinders.
- These cylinders have a diameter up to 1500 mm and a width which, on experimental installations current, is about 600 to 800 mm. But ultimately this width will have to reach 1,300 to 1,500 mm to meet the productivity requirements of an installation industrial.
- These cylinders are most often formed by a steel core around which is fixed a ferrule of copper or copper alloy, cooled by a circulation of water between the nucleus and the shell or internal to the shell.
- the surface of the shell which is intended to come into contact with the liquid metal can be coated with a metallic layer, most often nickel, whose thickness generally reaches 1 to 2 mm.
- This layer of nickel allows to adjust the thermal transfer coefficient of the shell to an optimal value (more weak than if the metal were put directly in contact with copper) so that the solidification of the metal takes place under good metallurgical conditions: a too rapid solidification would cause defects on the surface of the product.
- This adjustment is made by varying the thickness and structure of the nickel layer.
- it constitutes a protective layer for copper which prevents it from being too much thermal and mechanical stress.
- This layer of nickel wears out over the use of the cylinder, and must be restored periodically by partial removal or full of the remaining thickness then deposit of a new layer, but such restoration obviously costs less than a complete replacement of a ferrule in worn bare copper.
- the nickel deposition is preferably carried out by an electrolytic route, the following way.
- the new ferrule (or partially or completely previously nickel-plated), which is generally in the form of a hollow copper cylinder or copper alloy such as copper - chromium (1%) - zirconium (0.1%), is mounted on a tree, thanks to which it can easily be transported from a treatment station to the other in the nickel-plating / nickel-plating workshop.
- the ferrule is brought to the nickel-plating station electrolytic.
- This station consists of a tank containing the solution of nickel plating, above which you can place the tree in a horizontal position and put it rotating around its axis. We soak the lower part of the shell in the tank, and the rotation of the shaft-ferrule assembly at a speed of approximately 10 rpm, for example, allows the treatment of the entire shell.
- the ferrule constitutes the cathode
- the anode can be consisting of one or more anodic titanium baskets immersed in the tank, closed by thin membranes, facing the surface of the shell and containing beads of nickel.
- anode baskets facing these songs.
- Other types of anodes soluble or insoluble can also be used.
- the shell remains fixed and that it is the electrolyte who walks past her.
- the main thing is therefore to create a relative movement between the ferrule and the electrolyte which ensures the continuous renewal of their interface.
- the nickel deposit is subjected to intense stresses, so much mechanical than thermal. And we often see after a few flows only the appearance, in the vicinity of the edges of the cylinders, of cracks in the deposit of nickel. These cracks concern areas a few cm wide from the edges of the ferrule. They can cause the formation of defects on the surface of the product poured, since they make its cooling heterogeneous. Above all, they constitute weak points from which very rapid degradation can begin the entire nickel deposit. There may even be propagation of cracks beyond the deposition of nickel, which leads to degradation of the entire shell. They therefore impose an immediate and premature cessation of the use of the cylinder and the complete regeneration of the shell coating.
- the object of the invention is to improve the performance of resistance to thermo-mechanical stresses on the metallic coating of the shell, delaying as much as possible, or even suppressing the appearance of cracks on the banks, so as to extend the average duration of use of the ferrule between two repairs to its coating.
- the subject of the invention is a process for electrolytic coating with a metallic layer of the casting surface of a cylinder for the continuous casting of thin metal strips between two cylinders or on a single cylinder, depending on which said casting surface is at least partially immersed in a solution of electrolyte containing a salt of the metal to be deposited, facing at least one anode, place said cathode surface and a relative movement is created between said casting surface and said electrolyte solution, characterized in that there is interposed between said one or more anodes and the edges of said casting surface, and at a distance from said edges, insulating masks avoiding concentration of current lines on said edges and in their vicinity.
- the invention also relates to a coating installation electrolytic by a metallic layer of the casting surface of a cylinder for the continuous casting of thin metal strips between two cylinders or on a cylinder single, of the type comprising a tank containing an electrolyte containing a metal salt to deposit, means for at least partially immersing in said tank said casting surface and to create a relative movement between said casting surface and said electrolyte, at least one anode disposed in the tank facing said surface of casting, and means for bringing said casting surface to a cathodic potential, characterized in that it comprises masks made of an insulating material interposed between the edges of said casting surface and said anode (s) and at a distance from said edges, said masks avoiding a concentration of the current lines on said edges.
- said masks have a general shape in an arc whose center of curvature is the same as that of the edge of the casting surface at which they face, and have two parallel edges each placed in the extension of said edge at the same distance "d" from it and connected by a wedge-shaped notch whose sides are perpendicular to each other.
- the invention consists in carrying out the electrolytic deposition metal coating by having insulating masks near the banks of the ferrules. These masks, a preferred example of which is described, aim to obtain a regular distribution of the current lines in the areas of the edges of the shell. it gives the deposit a uniform thickness in these areas, consistent with the thickness nominal rating.
- the inventors have found that there is a correlation between the speed of the appearance of cracks in the nickel coating at the edges of the shell and the regularity of the thickness of this deposit in these same areas, in particular on the right edges.
- the inventors have found that the most reliable way to obtain a deposit of very homogeneous nickel on the edges of the shell and in their immediate vicinity was have insulating masks, preferably of a specific configuration, to distance from said edges, and that under these conditions, it was possible to remove the early appearance of cracks in the coating of the edges of the ferrules.
- FIG. 1 represents in cross section an installation according to the invention, the cutting plane being located inside the tank 1 containing the electrolyte solution 2 the main component of which is a nickel salt, but in front of the copper ferrule 3 placed as a cathode and two anodes 4, 4 ′ arranged in the bottom of the tank 1.
- the ferrule 3, of cylindrical outer shape and an outer diameter of 1500 mm, is mounted on a shaft 5 whose axis 6, during the electroplating operation, is rotated by means not shown. At least the lower part of the shell 3 hardens in the electrolyte solution 2.
- the anodes 4, 4 ' are soluble anodes constituted by anodic baskets in titanium of curved shape, filled with nickel granules.
- anodes 4, 4 ' extend behind the cutting plane over a width greater than that of the ferrule 3. Facing the banks of the ferrule 3 are arranged masks 7, 7 ′ (only 7 visible in FIG. 1) made of an insulating material such as polymer, whose function is to prevent the current lines coming from the anodes 4, 4 ' to reach directly the edges and edges of the shell 3, in order to avoid excess thickness of the nickel deposit at their level.
- the positions of these masks 7, 7 'by relative to the ferrule 3 can be adjusted by symbolized positioning means by movable rods 8.
- This distance “d” is, initially, of about 5 mm when it is desired to deposit a nickel 2 to 3 mm thick.
- the sides 13, 13 'of each mask 7, 7' which are perpendicular to the ferrule 3 must in this example of implementation of the invention have a length minimum of 50 mm. It is under these conditions that the masks 7, 7 ′ can sufficiently deflect the current lines to best homogenize their distribution on the banks of the ferrule 3.
- the coating of the edges of the shell 3 will be carried out in a homogeneous manner on one plus or less portion of their surface.
- anodes vertical 21, 21 ', 21 " such as anode baskets filled with nickel granules, similar to the anode baskets 4, 4 'and facing the edges of the shell 3.
- the masks can be made differently from those which have just been given as an example, insofar as they make it possible to obtain the desired uniformity for the thickness of the deposit.
- they instead of being formed by tubes of square, rectangular or other section, they can consist of a plate or an assembly of plates, the surface of which faces towards the ferrule would preferably have the same configuration as that of the tubes of The example.
- this surface should preferably have two edges parallels each placed in the extension of the edge of the ferrule to the same distance "d" from it and connected by a wedge-shaped notch whose sides are perpendicular to each other.
- the invention does not exclude that, to further complete and refine the action of masks, we also use current thieves, built into the masks or independent of these, permanently or intermittently.
- the invention can be applied to the deposition of other metals than nickel on the ferrule.
- the cylinder thus coated can be used not only on a machine for continuous casting of metal strips (steel or another material) thin between two cylinders, but also on a continuous casting machine thin strips where a single rotating cylinder licks the surface of a bath metallic (cast on a cylinder).
- it can also apply to the case of coating of the casting surface of a solid cylinder where the shell and the core do not would be one and the same piece. It is also easy to transpose it to a case where the ferrule or massive cylinder could be completely submerged in the bath electrolyte.
