Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the strand shell 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the four different funnel contours of the broad side wall shown in FIG. 1 a mold have a funnel shape in the casting direction to the format of the cast strand tapered pouring area A or a funnel-shaped in Pouring direction tapered pouring area B to the format of the cast strand and a subsequent, essentially parallel-walled area C.
  • This The mold area or the mold outlet do not have to have parallel exit surfaces or have trailing edges.
  • the lower mold area or the lower mold outlet can have a small curvature of 1 to 15 mm in the middle area have per broad side wall.
  • the funnel contours of the broad side walls 4 are along the a straight line connecting the upper mold edge 1 and the lower mold edge 3 convex.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 1 also shows that the convex sections a ', a “and a” "with a continuous Merge the course into the respective parallel-walled areas b ', b “and b” ".
  • FIG. 2 shows the tapering of the mold cross section in the casting direction of a continuous casting mold with the following parameters for the vertical inner contours shown in FIG. 1: 950 mm funnel width, 45 mm funnel depth at the upper edge of the mold plate, 900 mm funnel length, sinusoidal horizontal contour.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 point to the essential feature of the invention that unchangeable Pouring area parameters the introduction of a convex vertical Inner contour of the pouring area for a larger taper in the upper Mold area and a smaller taper in the lower mold area leads.
  • the invention provides, among other things, a use of the claimed Mold for the continuous casting of comparatively high shrinkage tending peritectic carbon steels and austenitic stainless Steel before.
  • 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.
