Definitions
- the invention relates to the continuous casting of metals. More specifically, it concerns the coating of the external surface of copper or alloy walls copper ingot molds in which the solidification of metals such as steel (DE-A-3,211,199).
- the faces of these walls which are intended to be in contact with the liquid metal are coated with a layer of nickel whose initial thickness can reach up to 3 mm. It constitutes for copper a protective layer which avoids being overheated thermally and mechanically.
- This nickel layer wears out over the use of the mold. She must therefore be restored periodically by total removal of the remaining thickness and then depositing a new layer, but such restoration obviously costs a lot cheaper than a complete replacement of worn copper walls.
- the complete nickel removal operation of the ferrule which must precede the restoration of the nickel layer is also fundamental. On the one hand, its good completion largely determines the quality of the nickel layer which will be then deposited, in particular its adhesion to the shell, because it is very difficult to deposit a new layer of strongly adherent nickel on a layer of nickel older. On the other hand, this nickel removal operation must be carried out without very significant consumption of copper from the ferrule which is an extremely expensive, and the duration of use should be extended as much as possible. This last requirement, in particular, practically excludes the use of a purely method mechanical for this nickel plating, because its precision would not be sufficient to guarantee both a total elimination of nickel and a safeguard of copper on the whole of the shell surface.
- the aim of the invention is to propose a method of coating the surface outside of the copper or copper alloy wall of a continuous casting mold overall more economical than the usual methods where a layer is deposited of nickel on this surface.
- This method should also provide the walls of the ingot mold with characteristics and quality at least comparable to those obtained by depositing a layer of nickel. It should also include a step of periodic regeneration of this surface.
- This method should be particularly suitable for the coating of cylinder ferrules for a casting machine between cylinders or on a single cylinder.
- the invention relates to an element of an ingot mold for casting metal continuous, including a cooled wall of copper or copper alloy intended to be brought into contact with liquid metal and comprising on its external surface a metallic coating, characterized in that said coating consists of a silver layer.
- this wall is a cylinder ferrule for continuous casting machine for thin metal strips between two cylinders or on a single cylinder.
- the invention also relates to a method of coating with a layer metal of the external surface of a wall cooled in copper or copper alloy of a ingot mold element for continuous casting of metals, characterized in that this is achieved coating by depositing a layer of silver on said surface preferably by electrolytic.
- the restoration of said silver layer is carried out by leaving a residual silver layer on said wall, and by carrying out a resilvering of said layer by placing said cathode wall in a bath electrolysis consisting, for example, of an aqueous solution of silver cyanide, cyanide of an alkali metal and carbonate of an alkali metal.
- a bath electrolysis consisting, for example, of an aqueous solution of silver cyanide, cyanide of an alkali metal and carbonate of an alkali metal.
- the invention consists first of all in replacing by silver nickel traditionally used to form the external coating of walls of copper ingot molds for continuous casting of metals such as steel. Contrary to what one might think at first glance since solid silver is considered a precious metal, this solution has multiple advantages economical, and it is perfectly technically viable. This is particularly the case when silvering is carried out by an electrolytic method using a bath with alkaline cyanides. It turned out that such baths are suitable for carrying out silver deposits on copper having properties of use well adapted to the protection of the walls of ingot molds for continuous casting.
- the particular method of coating the surface of the mold which is also described and claimed includes a silvering step, and also possibly a step of silvering said surface when it is desired to restore the coating a used ingot mold.
- This silvering may be only partial, while in the in the case of a nickel coating, the nickel removal of copper must almost imperatively be total, at the risk of consuming part of the copper from the wall.
- Silver and silvering can both be achieved by electrolytic means.
- the silver removed from the ferrule is recovered in metallic form on the silver cathode in the silver reduction reactor. Said cathode can in turn be recycled as an anode in the silvering reactor.
- the silvering can be carried out at least in partly by chemical or mechanical means.
- the invention will now be described in detail in one of its forms of realization, applied to the coating of a ferrule in copper or copper alloy of cylinder for continuous steel casting machine between two cylinders or on a single cylinder.
- the example described can easily be adapted to other types of ingot molds with copper or copper alloy walls, such as ingot molds with fixed walls for the continuous casting of slabs, blooms or billets.
- the silvering or de-silvering method can implement various other electrolytic processes such as pad or pad coatings spraying, as well as electrolytes different from those given in example.
- We can also provide for complete immersion of the copper wall in a bath silvering, and under these conditions the invention can be applied to a ferrule in permanent or intermittent rotation, or on a ferrule kept stationary in an electrolyte in forced circulation.
- the new ferrule is generally in the form of a hollow cylinder of copper or copper alloy, such as a copper-chromium alloy (1%) - zirconium (0.1%).
- Its outside diameter is, for example, of the order of 1500 mm and its length is equal to the width of the strips that it is desired to pour, ie of the order of 600 to 1500 mm.
- Its thickness can be, for information, of the order of 180 mm, but varies locally depending, in particular, on the method of attachment of the shell to the core of the cylinder that was adopted.
- the ferrule is crossed by channels intended to be traversed by a cooling fluid such as water, when using the machine of casting.
- the silvering / de-silvering workshop treatment stations each consisting of a tank containing a solution suitable for carrying out a given stage of treatment, above which one can place said shaft with its horizontal axis and rotate it around its axis. So we dip the bottom of the shell in the solution, and the rotation of the shaft / ferrule assembly makes it possible to carry out the processing of the entire ferrule (it being understood that the ferrule normally performs several turns on itself during the same treatment, at a speed of about 10 rpm, for example).
- the bare ferrule (in the case of the first silvering of a new ferrule, or the silvering of a used ferrule whose copper surface would have been exposed) undergoes first, preferably, a mechanical preparation by polishing its surface. Then we performs chemical degreasing in an alkaline medium, which has the function of ridding the surface of the shell of organic matter which can pollute it. It is carried out at hot, at a temperature of about 40 to 70 ° C for about fifteen minutes, and followed by a water rinse. We can substitute or even add a step of electrolytic degreasing which would provide an even better surface quality.
- the next step is a pickling operation in an oxidizing acid medium, which has function of removing surface oxides, taking care to dissolve only one thickness very minimal of the shell.
- An aqueous solution is used for this purpose, for example sulfuric acid at 100 ml / l, to which 50 ml / l of a 30% solution of hydrogen peroxide or a solution of another compound.
- This pickling operation in an oxidizing acid medium has maximum efficiency when the electrolyte temperature is understood between 40 and 55 ° C. It is advantageous to maintain this temperature at the interface by a circulation of hot water inside the channels of the rotating shell. The operation lasts about 5 minutes and is followed by a water rinse.
- the purpose of the pre-silvering operation is intended to be placed under chemical conditions intended to prevent a displacement of silver by copper during silvering, which would be detrimental to the adhesion deposit money. It is particularly useful even if the ferrule is not pure copper, but a Cu-Cr-Zr alloy. It lasts 4 to 5 minutes and is preferably done at room temperature, the ferrule being placed as a cathode in an electrolyte consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium cyanide (50 to 90 g / l approximately) and silver cyanide sufficiently diluted in dissolved metal (30 to 50 g / l). You can also replace sodium cyanide with potassium cyanide (65 to 100 g / l).
- the optimal operating temperature is 40 to 45 ° C
- the potassium carbonate is necessary to obtain a homogeneous corrosion of the anodes. It can be replaced by sodium carbonate, with the disadvantage that sodium carbonate has a lower solubility. Potash can be replaced by soda. They ensure the conductivity of the electrolyte, as well as the stability of the anionic complex under which the silver is found (Ag (CN) 4 2- ).
- the silver plating operation is generally carried out using a direct current source, which can advantageously be replaced by a source of transient currents, which make it possible to increase the fineness of the crystallization.
- the crystallization can also be advantageously modified by lowering the temperature of the shell / electrolyte interface, for example by circulating cold water through the channels of the shell. Under these conditions, the silver electrolyte is a hot source and the ferrule is a cold source. A temperature gradient is established and the interface then offers a greater activation overvoltage, favorable to the increase in the hardness of the coating.
- the anode (s) are soluble anodes formed by one or more baskets titanium anodics containing silver beads or metallic silver under any other form, for example berlingots. These titanium panodes are used as dimensionally stable electrodes. Their shape matches that of the ferrule in its submerged part, which makes it possible to homogenize the distribution of current densities cathodics on the ferrule. As the anode-cathode distance does not vary in these conditions, the panodes keep the current densities constant on the cathode.
- the silver layer is attacked and mechanical wear which leads to its progressive consumption.
- the surface of the ferrule should be cleaned, and the silver layer may, at least occasionally time, undergo a slight machining intended to compensate for the possible heterogeneities of its wear which could compromise the homogeneity of the thermomechanical behavior of the shell over its entire surface. It is also important to restore the initial roughness of the ferrule whenever necessary.
- the thickness mean of the silver layer of the shell reaches a predetermined value, which one generally estimated at around 1 mm, use of the cylinder is interrupted, the ferrule is disassembled and can undergo a complete silver removal treatment or only partial, which must precede the restoration of the silver layer of the shell. To this end, the ferrule can be again mounted on the axis which supported it during operations silver plating. If the silver removal is complete, we then proceed to restore the silver layer according to the whole process which has just been described.
- a way to shorten the silver removal operation would consist of preceding it with a removal operation silver mechanics which would aim to reduce its residual thickness without, however, reach copper.
- This operation would also have the advantage of homogenizing this thickness and to remove various surface impurities (especially residues that could locally slow the onset of dissolution. We would avoid still being still dissolving the money in certain areas of the shell then even as in other areas the copper has already been exposed.
- the electrolytic silver plating method presents the disadvantage of requiring for its implementation a special, incompatible solution for reasons of toxicity with other operations carried out in the workshop silvering-silvering of the ferrules where cyanide solutions are also used.
- the inventors therefore recommend practicing the restoration of the coating of silver from the shell by direct recharging in a silver plating bath (advantageously the one used for the first silvering described above), without obligation completely or almost completely remove the residual silver coating.
- a this is possible because it is easy to electrochemically deposit a new silver layer over an older silver layer and get good adhesion of the new layer on the old, while this is not possible for nickel.
- it considerably simplifies the management of the ferrule packaging workshop, and on the other hand it shortens their maintenance, and therefore downtime.
- the silver top-up does not have the defects generally attributed to other forms of demetallization in general and nickel removal in particular, due of the natural alkalinity of the silver plating bath.
- This alkalinity can, in fact, be used as a means of natural passivation of the silver station infrastructure if it is made of uncoated steel.
- Another advantage of the invention is that it never require to carry in anodic situation said steel infrastructures, which would promote their corrosion and would be detrimental to their durability.
- Another benefit of direct recharge silver compared to almost electrochemical silver reduction total followed by resilvering is to avoid the total dissolution of money in certain preferential areas (such as the edges of the ferrule) during the silvering, which would lead to localized copper exposures.
- the refill silvering carried out in conditions avoiding any dissolution of the copper from the ferrule makes it possible not to attack the surface of the shell, therefore extending its service life.
- Refill silver can be preceded by a light machining of the used silver layer, to homogenize its thickness and remove the impurities which would be detrimental to the adhesion of the new layer of silver on the old.
- a workshop of ferrule silver would therefore be distinguished in that it would not include necessarily installation for the dissolution of a used coating by way chemical or electrochemical. It would therefore be more economical to build. He would also more economical to operate, because it would consume less electricity: the money is deposited three times faster than nickel at an equal current density, especially because it is monovalent while nickel is bivalent.
- this advantage is offset partially in that, to obtain equivalent thermal protection of the shell with a silver deposit and a nickel deposit, a silver layer must be deposited about twice as thick as the corresponding nickel layer. But in counterpart, this layer of silver provides mechanical protection of the shell higher than the thinner nickel layer.
- the cost of salts silver used is in fact not very different from that of the nickel salts employed for the traditional nickel plating of the mold walls. Overall, the cost of a silver coating is therefore not much superior to that of a nickel coating, and especially the repair of a used casting cylinder ferrule is much faster and economical.
- Cyanide effluents from the workshop can be treated with bleach to destroy cyanides.
- these effluents can be treated slightly chlorinated by continuous electrolysis: metallic silver is recovered at the cathode and directly destroys ammonium carbonate cyanides on anodes dimensionally stable. Simple and economical solutions can therefore be found to the environmental problems that can arise from the use of cyanide.
- the invention particularly finds its application in the packaging of ferrules of cylinders for continuous steel casting installations between cylinders or on a single cylinder, because of the large dimensions and the high manufacturing cost of these parts, the life of which is important to prolong as much as possible. But it goes without saying that we can envisage its transposition to the treatments of the walls of casting molds made of copper or copper alloy of all shapes and sizes, intended for the casting of all supporting metals to be brought into liquid state in contact with silver under the conditions of casting.
