Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trichtergeometrie einer Kokille zum Stranggießen von Metall mit einem gekühlte Breitseiten- und Schmalseitenwände aufweisenden, trichterförmig in Gießrichtung zum Format des gegossenen Stranges verjüngten Eingießbereich.The invention relates to a funnel geometry of a mold for the continuous casting of Metal with a cooled broadside and narrow side walls, funnel-shaped in the casting direction to the format of the cast strand Pouring.

Die Abmessungen des Eingießbereiches werden im wesentlichen durch den Querschnitt des zu vergießenden Stranges, die Abmessungen des Gießrohres und dessen Eintauchtiefe in die Schmelze bestimmt.The dimensions of the pouring area are essentially determined by the Cross section of the strand to be cast, the dimensions of the pouring tube and determines its immersion depth in the melt.

Aufgrund der trichterförmigen Formgebung der Breitseitenwände findet in Gießrichtung nicht nur eine Verjüngung, sondern auch eine Formänderung des Strangquerschnittes statt. Infolgedessen werden der Strangschale beim Durchlaufen einer Trichterkokille im Gegensatz zu einer herkömmlichen Stranggießkokille mit ebenen Wänden zusätzliche Verformungen aufgezwungen, welche zu Fehlern führen können. Due to the funnel-shaped shape of the broad side walls takes place in the casting direction not only a rejuvenation, but also a change in shape of the Strand cross section instead. As a result, the strand shell is in transit a funnel mold in contrast to a conventional continuous casting mold with flat walls forced additional deformations, which too Errors.

Es ist bekannt, daß es durch die Ausgestaltung der horizontalen oder vertikalen Kontur des trichterförmigen Eingießbereiches einer Stranggießkokille möglich ist, die dem Strang auferlegten Verformungen günstiger zu verteilen, um somit der Entstehung von Fehlern des Gußproduktes entgegenzuwirken.It is known that by the design of the horizontal or vertical Contour of the funnel-shaped pouring area of a continuous casting mold is possible, to distribute the deformations imposed on the strand more favorably so that the Counteract the occurrence of defects in the cast product.

Im Gegensatz zu einer herkömmlichen Kokille mit ebenen Wänden, wo der Schrumpf des Stranges durch die Neigung der Schmalseiten ausgeglichen wird, ist der Verlauf der Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts in Gießrichtung in einer Stranggießkokille mit trichterförmigen Eingießbereich von großer Bedeutung.In contrast to a conventional mold with flat walls, where the Shrinkage of the strand is compensated for by the inclination of the narrow sides, is the course of the tapering of the mold cross-section in the casting direction in one Continuous casting mold with funnel-shaped pouring area of great importance.

Ist in einem oder mehreren Höhenabschnitten die Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts größer als der Schrumpf des Stranges, so werden dort der Strangschale zusätzliche Verformungen aufgezwungen. Außerdem ist in diesem Fall kein gleichmäßiger Kontakt zwischen Strangschale und Kokillenwand mehr gewährleistet. Es entstehen Bereiche mit übermäßig hoher und tiefer Strangschalentemperatur, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Entstehung von Fehlern erhöht.Is the taper of the mold cross-section at one or more height sections larger than the shrinkage of the strand, the strand shell becomes there additional deformations imposed. Besides, in this case there is none more even contact between the strand shell and the mold wall is guaranteed. Areas arise with excessively high and low strand shell temperatures, which increases the likelihood of errors.

Ist die Verjüngung zu klein, so hebt die Strangschale teilweise von der Kokillenwand ab. Durch die starke Wiedererwärmung in diesen Bereichen entstehen hohe thermische Spannungen, die zu Fehlern führen.If the taper is too small, the strand shell lifts partially from the mold wall from. The strong rewarming in these areas creates high levels thermal stresses that lead to errors.

Bei den Fehlern handelt es sich um Risse, Einschnürungen und Gefügestörungen. Diese Fehler sind um gravierender, je stärker ein Stahl zu vergleichsweise hoher Schrumpfung im Verlauf der Erstarrung und Abkühlung der sich bildenden Strangschale neigt.The defects are cracks, constrictions and structural disorders. These errors are all the more serious the stronger a steel is, the comparatively higher Shrinkage in the course of solidification and cooling of the strand shell that forms inclines.

Die EP 0 268 910 schlägt vor, die Breitseitenwände im Eingießbereich in einem ersten Abschnitt im wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufen zu lassen und in einem sich daran anschließenden Abschnitt auf die Dicke des Gießformates zurückzuführen, wobei der erste Abschnitt bis unterhalb der beim Gießbetrieb einzustellenden Gießspiegelebene in den Bereich der ersten Strangschalenbildung reicht. Auf diese Weise soll die unterhalb des Gießspiegels noch dünne Strangschale verformungsfrei geführt werden.EP 0 268 910 proposes the broad side walls in one in the pouring area to let the first section run essentially parallel to one another and in a subsequent section due to the thickness of the casting format, the first section being below the one to be set in the casting operation Casting level in the area of the first strand shell formation enough. In this way, the strand shell, which is still thin below the casting level, be guided without deformation.

Die EP 0 552 501 offenbart eine Kokille zum Stranggießen von Stahlband, bei der die Breitseitenwände einen trichterförmigen Eingießbereich bilden, der zu den Schmalseitenwänden und in Gießrichtung auf das Format des gegossenen Bandes reduziert ist. Der trichterförmige Eingießbereich ist durch seitliche Kreisbögen und an Tangentenpunkten mit diesen verbundene mittlere Kreisbögen bestimmt. Zur Reibungs- und Verschleißminderung und Reduzierung der Zug- und Biegebeanspruchungen der Strangschale sind die Radien der seitlichen Kreisbögen in einem mindestens 100 mm von der Kokillenoberkante abwärts reichenden Abschnitt gleichbleibend ausgebildet.EP 0 552 501 discloses a mold for the continuous casting of steel strip, in which the broad side walls form a funnel-shaped pouring area that leads to the Narrow side walls and in the casting direction to the format of the cast tape is reduced. The funnel-shaped pouring area is through lateral arcs and determined at the tangent points with these connected arcs. To reduce friction and wear and to reduce tensile and bending loads of the strand shell are the radii of the lateral arcs in a section extending at least 100 mm from the upper edge of the mold consistently trained.

Die DE 39 07 351 A1 offenbart einen Vorschlag, die Kontur der Innenwandung des Eingießtrichters einer Kokille durch drei sich tangential berührende Kreisbögen zu bilden, deren Radien, in Strangdurchlaufrichtung allmählich größer werdend, in die Kontur der Innenwandung der Kokille übergehen. Auf diese Weise wird die Verformung des Metallgießstranges auf eine größtmögliche Streckenlänge verteilt, und Einschnürungen sowie Rißbildungen in der Strangschale des Metallgießstranges werden vermieden. Eine möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilung der Formänderung der Strangschale in einem derart geformten Eingießbereich wird dadurch erreicht, daß deren Radien in Strangdurchlaufrichtung mit gleichem oder ungleichem Faktor zunehmen.DE 39 07 351 A1 discloses a proposal, the contour of the inner wall the pouring funnel of a mold through three tangentially touching arcs to form, the radii of which gradually increase in the direction of passage of the strand, merge into the contour of the inner wall of the mold. In this way the deformation of the metal casting strand over the greatest possible length distributed, and constrictions and cracks in the strand shell of the metal casting are avoided. An even distribution of the Shape change of the strand shell in a pouring area shaped in this way thereby achieved that their radii in the strand passage direction with the same or unequal factor increase.

Das Dokument WO 94/07628 offenbart eine Kokille mit gekrümmten Breitseiten-Innenwänden, die zwischen Einlauf- und Auslaufende einen oberen konvexen und einen unteren parallelwandigen Bereich aufweisen. Die Kokille zur Produktion von einem Gusstrang umfasst zwei beabstandete Metallplatten zwischen endständigen Wänden, mit welchen sie verbunden sind. Jede Metallplatte hat eine Durchlassbreite und eine Tiefendimension zwischen dem Einlass- und dem Auslassende der Kokille und ist so gestaltet, dass die Abmessung (t) des Gießform-Durchlasses quer zur Breite desselben gleichmäßig und geringer als die entsprechende Dimension beim Einlassende der Kokille ist.Document WO 94/07628 discloses a mold with curved broad side inner walls, which has an upper convex and between the inlet and outlet ends have a lower parallel-walled area. The mold for the production of a cast strand includes two spaced metal plates between terminal ones Walls to which they are connected. Each metal plate has an opening width and a depth dimension between the inlet and outlet ends the mold and is designed so that the dimension (t) of the mold passage across the width of the same evenly and less than the corresponding Dimension at the inlet end of the mold.

Das Tiefenmaß jeder Endwand zwischen Einlass- und Auslassende setzt sich zusammen aus zwei Bereichen. Der erste Bereich reicht vom Auslassende bis zu einer Zwischenposition und weist zugeordnete Kühlmittel auf, wogegen der zweite Bereich bis zum Einlaufende reicht und mit Heizmitteln ausgestattet ist, wobei im Betrieb beim Kontakt mit dem ersten Bereich die Erstarrung des Gießmetalls angeregt, und im Kontakt mit dem zweiten Bereich gebremst wird.The depth dimension of each end wall between the inlet and outlet ends is composed from two areas. The first area extends from the outlet end to an intermediate position and has assigned coolant, whereas the second Area extends to the inlet end and is equipped with heating means, whereby in the Operation in contact with the first area stimulates the solidification of the casting metal, and is braked in contact with the second area.

Ausgehend vom vorgenannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine weitere Trichtergeometrie einer Kokille anzugeben, durch welche Reibung und Verschleiß zwischen Strangschale und Kokillenwänden noch besser vermindert und insbesondere bei der Strangschalenbildung eines zu vergleichsweise hoher Schrumpfung neigenden Stahles eine noch deutlichere Verringerung des Fehlerbefalls der Brammenoberfläche durch eine dem Schrumpfverhalten des Stahles angepaßte Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts verwirklicht wird.Starting from the aforementioned prior art, the object of the invention based on specifying a further funnel geometry of a mold, through which Friction and wear between the strand shell and mold walls are even better reduced and especially in the formation of strand shells one too comparative high shrinking steel an even clearer reduction the failure of the slab surface due to the shrinking behavior of the Stahl's adapted tapering of the mold cross-section is realized.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass bei vorgegebener horizontaler Kontur des Trichterbereiches der Verlauf der Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts in Giessrichtung durch die Ausgestaltung der vertikalen Kontur vorgegeben werden kann.The invention is based on the knowledge that for a given horizontal Contour of the funnel area the course of the tapering of the mold cross-section in the casting direction by the design of the vertical contour can.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe gelingt mit der Erfindung bei einer Kokille der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art dadurch, dass die Trichtergeometrie der Breitseiten-Innenwandungen im Bereich zwischen einer Kokillen-Oberkante (1) und einer entsprechenden Kokillen-Austrittskante (3) mit einer konvexen Kontur ausgebildet ist,
die im oberen Kokillenbereich eine größere Verjüngung, und im unteren Kokillenbereich eine geringere Verjüngung aufweist.
The problem is solved with the invention in a mold of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 in that the funnel geometry of the broad side inner walls in the area between a mold upper edge (1) and a corresponding mold exit edge (3) with a convex Contour is formed
which has a larger taper in the upper mold area and a smaller taper in the lower mold area.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Trichtergeometrie der Kokille wird die Reibung und damit der Verschleiß zwischen Strangschale und den entsprechenden Kokillenwänden signifikant verringert und insbesondere beim Gießen einer zu hoher Schrumpfung neigenden Stahlqualität eine deutliche Verringerung des Fehlerbefalls der Brammenoberfläche infolge der angepassten Verjüngungen des Kokillenquerschitts erreicht.Through the funnel geometry of the mold according to the invention, the friction and thus the wear between the strand shell and the corresponding mold walls significantly reduced and especially when casting a too high one Shrinkage-prone steel quality significantly reduces the number of defects the slab surface due to the adapted tapering of the mold cross-section reached.

Weitere verbesserte Anpassungsverhältnisse zwischen Strangschale und Kokillenwänden ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen mit weiteren Gestaltungsmerkmalen der Trichtergeometrie, insbesondere aufgrund von akuten Betriebserfahrungen bezüglich des Schrumpfverhaltens diverser Stähle sowie entsprechender Gießparameter.Further improved adaptation relationships between the strand shell and the mold walls result from the subclaims with further design features the funnel geometry, especially due to acute operating experience with regard to the shrinking behavior of various steels and corresponding ones Casting parameters.

Kennzeichnend hierfür ist im Sinne der Erfindung weiterhin, dass unabhängig von der horizontalen Kontur des Eingießbereiches die Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts in Gießrichtung in weiten Grenzen variabel einstellbar und demzufolge optimal an den Schrumpfverlauf anpassbar ist, welcher nicht nur von den Eigenschaften des zu vergießenden Stahles abhängt, sondern auch von übrigen Parametern wie z. B. von der Gießgeschwindigkeit und den Kühlbedingungen.It is also characteristic of this in the sense of the invention that independent of the horizontal contour of the pouring area the taper of the mold cross-section variably adjustable in the casting direction within wide limits and consequently is optimally adaptable to the shrinkage course, which is not only of the properties depends on the steel to be cast, but also on other parameters such as B. from the casting speed and the cooling conditions.

Wenn der untere Abschnitt der Kokille einen parallelwandigen Bereich aufweist, wird damit ein besonders reibungsfreier Übergang zwischen Trichterbereich und anschließendem parallelwandigen Bereich dadurch erreicht, dass die konvexe Kontur mit einem endständigen unteren Kreisbogen in den geradlinigen Bereich mit einem stetigen Verlauf übergeht.If the lower section of the mold has a parallel-walled area, is a particularly smooth transition between the funnel area and subsequent parallel walled area in that the convex Contour with a terminal lower circular arc in the rectilinear area passes with a steady course.

Dabei ist ersichtlich, daß die Innenkonturen der Breitseitenwände über die Abschnitte a', a" und a"' jeweils einen kreisbogenförmigen, einen sinusförmigen und einen polinomen Verlauf aufweisen. In the funnel area B, the funnel cones of the broad side walls are 4 'or 4 "or 4 '' 'between the upper edge of the mold 1 and the start of a parallel-walled area 2 convex. It can be seen that the inner contours of the Broad sidewalls over the sections a ', a "and a"' each have an arcuate shape, have a sinusoidal and a polinomial course.

Jeder der vorgegebenen Schrumpfungsverläufe entspricht einer bestimmten Kombination von Stahleigenschaften und Gießparametern und kann durch theoretische Betrachtungen und praktische Erfahrungen ermittelt werden.As an exemplary embodiment, FIG. 6 shows different vertical convex funnel contours for a continuous casting coke with the parameters already mentioned above. this Funnel contours lie in the shrinkage profiles specified in FIG. 4 or the corresponding length changes shown in FIG. 5. Each of the specified shrinkage profiles corresponds to a specific one Combination of steel properties and casting parameters and can by theoretical Considerations and practical experience can be determined.

Die in Fig. 1 bis Fig. 6 dargestellten Zusammenhänge verdeutlichen, daß unabhängig von der horizontalen Kontur des Eingießbereiches die Verjüngung des Kokillenquerschnitts in Gießrichtung in weiten Grenzen variabel einstellbar ist und demzufolge an den Schrumpfverlauf des Stranges angepaßt werden kann, welcher im allgemeinen nicht nur von den Eigenschaften des zu vergießenden Stahles abhängt, sondern auch von anderen Gießparametern, wie z. B. der Gießgeschwindigkeit.The relationships shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 illustrate that independent the taper of the mold cross-section from the horizontal contour of the pouring area is variably adjustable in the casting direction within wide limits and consequently can be adapted to the shrinkage of the strand, which generally not just on the properties of the steel to be cast depends, but also on other casting parameters, such as. B. the casting speed.

Claims (7)

  1. Chill mould for continuous casting of metal, with a pouring-in region having a coolable wide side wall and narrow side walls and narrowing in funnel-shape in pouring direction to the format of the cast strip, characterised in that the funnel geometry of the wide side inner walls is formed in the region between a chill mould upper edge (1) and a corresponding chill mould exit edge (3) with a convex contour which has a greater degree of narrowing in the upper chill mould region and a lesser degree of narrowing in the lower chill mould region.
  2. Chill mould according to claim 1, characterised in that the funnel geometry can have, for each convex portion A, a', a", a''', not only a curvature which remains the same in the course thereof, but also a variable curvature.
  3. Chill mould according to claim 2, characterised in that the convex inner contour of the wide side walls has a circularly arcuate, polygonal or trigonometric course.
  4. Chill mould according to one or more of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that in the funnel region B the funnel contours of the wide side walls 4', 4" or 4"' between the chill mould upper edge (1) and the beginning of a region (2) with parallel walls are formed to be convex and merge by way of sections a', a" and a"' into the respective regions b', b", b''' with parallel walls in each instance by way of a circularly arcuate, sinusoidal or polynomial course.
  5. Chill mould according to one or more of claims 1 to 4, characterised in that the funnel contours are based on predeterminable shrinkage courses or corresponding length changes and that a combination of steel characteristics and casting parameters, which are ascertained by theoretical consideration and practical experiences, correspond with each of the predetermined shrinkage courses.
  6. Chill mould according to claim 5, characterised in that independently of the horizontal contour of the pouring-in region the narrowing of the chill mould cross-section in pouring direction is variably settable within wide limits and consequently can be matched to the shrinkage course of the strip, which depends not only on the characteristics of the steel to be cast, but also on other casting parameters such as, for example, casting speed.
  7. Chill mould according to one or more of claims 1 to 6, characterised in that the convex inner contour of the wide side walls merges into the lower section b', b", b"' with parallel walls by a terminating curve.
