Definitions

  • This invention concerns an electromagnetic stirring method for crystallisers and the relative crystalliser as set forth in the respective main claims.
  • the invention is applied to machines performing continuous casting of billets, blooms and slabs and, in particular, thin slabs in the field of the production of iron and steel.
  • the state of the art of the continuous casting field covers the use of electromagnetic stirring devices associated externally with the sidewalls of a crystalliser in order to generate an electromagnetic field interacting with the molten metal being cast.
  • this electromagnetic field mainly has the purpose of improving the surface quality of the product by intervening on the liquid metal and improving its solidification characteristics.
  • such electromagnetic stirring devices anticipate and control the separation of the solidified skin from the crystalliser and thus make it possible to increase the casting speed and avoid risks that the skin itself might break.
  • the electromagnetic devices of the state of the art normally comprise one or more coils or inductors positioned in cooperation with the outside of the sidewall of the crystalliser and generally close to the zone of the beginning of solidification of the metal.
  • Embodiments have been disclosed in which the coil or inductor generates a stationary alternating magnetic field (see the article “Improvement of Surface Quality of Steel by Electromagnetic Mold” taken from the documents of the International Symposium on the “Electromagnetic Processing of Materials” - Nagoya 1994) or else generates an alternating magnetic field modulated in amplitude (see the article “Study of Meniscus Behavior and Surface Properties During Casting in a High-Frequencies Magnetic Field” taken from "Metallurgical and Materials Transaction” - Vol.26B, April 1995).
  • US-A-4.522.249 on which is based the preamble of claims 1 and 16, teaches that a helical coil wound around the crystalliser for the whole of its length is fed by means of a pulsating direct current with a duration of from 10 to 100 milliseconds, with an amplitude of between 5 and 20 kA and with a frequency of repetition of around 1KHz.
  • This current generates radial forces which act on the crystalliser and make it vibrate, thus improving the surface quality of the product.
  • WO-A-80/01999 and FR-A-2.632.549 include electromagnetic devices consisting of poles, radial to the crystalliser, on which respective coils are wound, the devices being arranged on different levels and are made to work in a staggered manner.
  • the coils are fed with alternating current, low frequency single phase or multi-phase, and generate forces which are mainly oriented in an azimuth direction and only by reflection in a lengthwise direction along the axis of the crystalliser.
  • the function of these electromagnetic devices is to mix the liquid steel in the crystalliser in an azimuth direction so as to produce a helical motion upwards or downwards.
  • US-A-4.933.005 includes permanent coils or magnets operating both in correspondence with the meniscus and also in a desired zone of the crystalliser.
  • the coils arranged along the crystalliser, and far from the meniscus, generate forces which are prevalently of the azimuth type (azimuth stirring) or helical (helical stirring) or longitudinal (longitudinal stirring); the coils arranged in correspondence with the meniscus generate forces which oppose the movement of the liquid part of the product.
  • the coils which are far from the meniscus serve to move the liquid part of the product so as to obtain the known metallurgical results deriving from electromagnetic stirring; the coils which cooperate with the meniscus act as an electromagnetic brake so as to diminish the consequent distorsions of the meniscus caused by the electromagnetic stirring action generated by the other coils and so as to reduce the turbulence caused by the introduction of the material into the crystalliser.
  • WO-A-94/15739 includes two classical coils for electromagnetic stirring of which one is positioned on the meniscus.
  • Both coils are fed by means of low frequency multi-phase alternating current, possibly with different intensities of current; the direction of the magnetic field travelling on the pole extensions may also be different.
  • the forces generated are applied to the liquid part of the product in an azimuth direction.
  • the function of the underlying coil is to provide a maximum intensity azimuth stirring; the function of the coil on the meniscus is to contrast the distorsion on the meniscus produced by the stirring of the first coil or, alternatively, to increase the effect on the meniscus according to the particular type of process or kind of casting (type of steel).
  • EP-A-0.511.465 provides a coil for electromagnetic stirring which can be displaced along the axis of the crystalliser so that it is possible to adapt the electromagretic stirring effect in the liquid metal according to different metallurgical requirements.
  • EP-A-0.489.202 provides coils cooperating with the crystalliser and fed by direct current, which generate a constant magnetic field with the appropriate direction; these coils act as a brake on the liquid steel leaving the submerged nozzle and prevent it from affecting the already solidified skin; at the same time, they reduce the entrapment of slag.
  • US-A-4.867.786 and JP-A-56-126.048 provide coils which produce azimuth flows in order to mix the liquid part with a stirring effect in an azimuth direction in order to obtain the desired stirring effect.
  • US-A-4523628 provides to generate simultaneously a static magnetic field and a magnetic field which is variable in a sinusoidal direction; the magnetic fields are generated by coils wound in an azimuth direction around the axis of the crystalliser.
  • JP-A-5212512 provides to generate electromagnetic forces on the melted metal at the level of the meniscus so as to encourage the introduction and control the flow of lubricating powders; the electromagnetic forces are generated by coils arranged in an azimuth direction around the crystalliser and fed with high frequency alternating current.
  • JP-A-832350 provides to use plates applied to the walls of the crystalliser and made of particular materials in order to concentrate and encourage the flow of currents in particular zones of the crystalliser; these currents however flow orthogonal to the crystalliser and therefore to the movement of the melted metal.
  • JP-A-52134817 provides to apply a pulsed current flowing in an azimuth direction with respect to the crystalliser and being applied to the high zone of the crystalliser, around the meniscus, in order to reduce the risk of breakout and to improve the surface quality of the skin.
  • JP-A-58212843 provides to use electrodes introduced into the bath of molten metal inside the crystalliser so as to generate in the metal currents which melt the protecting and lubricating powders; however it does not provide that the currents cooperate with an external magnetic field produced by currents which flow along the crystalliser.
  • Metallurgie des Stranggiessens also provides currents induced in the molten metal from the tundish as far as the foot rolls, but in this case too there is no cooperation between the currents and a pulsed magnetic field generated by currents which flow on the walls of the crystalliser in a lengthwise direction thereto.
  • Crystallisers of great length make it possible to remove a great quantity of heat from the liquid metal, thus encouraging the formation of a skin of solidified metal of a thickness suitable to prevent the skin from breaking when the product leaves the crystalliser even when the casting speed is very high and therefore when there is less time for the skin to solidify.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an electromagnetic stirring method for crystallisers in continuous casting machines for billets, blooms, slabs or round pieces, and the relative crystalliser, which will be able to carry out at least the following functions in an optimum manner and with an improved efficiency:
  • the invention includes the generation of a magnetic field, which acts on the metal cast inside the crystalliser, directly connecting the sidewalls of the crystalliser to electric supply means.
  • the crystalliser may have any section whatsoever, polygonal or circular, defined by at least two plate elements which are electrically insulated, completely or only partly, from each other.
  • the crystalliser is structured as a single element and includes electric insulation means which divide it into several parts which are electrically insulated from each other.
  • each plate or part of the crystalliser is fed with a respective current which has a direction parallel to the axis of the crystalliser and a desired sense.
  • the current is of the pulsating type.
  • Each current whether pulsating or not, which flows along the respective plate element, or group of plates, generates an electromagnetic field whose flow lines close transversely on the plate element.
  • the invention makes it possible to generate electromagnetic forces of an intensity greater than those generated by electromagnetic systems such as are known to the state of the art, without any loss of efficiency due to dispersion.
  • the plate elements are serially connected to each other, which allows the whole system to be fed with a single current.
  • all the plate elements of the crystalliser are fed by a current with the same direction; according to a variant, each plate element is fed with a current in the opposite direction to that circulating in the adjacent plate elements.
  • each longitudinal plate, or group of longitudinal plates is fed with desired direction, duration, frequency and intensity of current so as to obtain desired effects on the metal being cast.
  • the invention moreover, by feeding the current in the appropriate manner to the different plate elements, or groups of plates, it is possible to correlate the individual longitudinal zones of the crystalliser to different parameters, such as intensity, wave form, duration, etc.
  • the inner sidewalls of the crystalliser are covered with a layer of electrical insulation which has good thermal conductivity; it is thus possible to avoid direct electrical contact between the metal being cast and the sidewalls of the crystalliser, but does not limit the heat exchange necessary for the process of solidification of the liquid metal.
  • the insulating layer can be made of Al 2 O 3 or Br 2 C + Al 2 O 3 , or AlN or also amorphous diamond carbon or otherwise.
  • the crystalliser according to the invention may include a single cooling system or each plate element may be cooled autonomously.
  • the electromagnetic devices consist of coils arranged in a position outside the crystalliser, coaxial to the axis of the crystalliser and positioned in correspondence with one or more transverse sections of the crystalliser where it is desired to obtain a particular effect on the cast metal.
  • the azimuth currents fed to the outer coils may be of a very reduced intensity since their effect is used only in addition to the currents already circulating on the plates of the crystalliser and generated with a direction parallel to the axis thereof.
  • This condition of resonance achieved in a variable manner along the longitudinal extent of the crystalliser generates a better separation of the skin from the sidewalls of the crystalliser and therefore an easier and faster downward sliding of the metal, with an improvement also in the surface quality of the product.
  • outer coils it is also possible to generate volumetric waves on the surface of the meniscus which make it possible to form a gap between the sidewall of the crystalliser and the skin of the metal which has just solidified; the gap facilitates the introduction of lubricants, either liquid or in powder form.
  • At least some of the coils outside the crystalliser are movable with respect to the casting axis of the metal, so that they can assume the optimum position from time to time according to the different casting conditions and the different effects which are to be obtained on the metal.
  • the pulsed currents which flow parallel to the casting axis are not fed directly to the plates of the crystalliser but are produced by magnetic induction by means of outer inductors which are electrically insulated from the plates.
  • Figs. 1a-1c show in diagram form a first embodiment of a crystalliser 10 achieving the invention.
  • the crystalliser 10 is rectangular in section defined by four plate elements 11 made of electrically conductive material, insulated from each other by a longitudinal insulation element 30.
  • each plate element 11 is fed directly with a current 13 which has a direction parallel to the axis 12 of the crystalliser 10 and an ascending or descending sense.
  • the four plate elements 11 are fed with respective currents 13 with an ascending sense; according to a variant which is not shown here, the currents 13 all have a descending sense.
  • each plate element 11 is fed with a current 13 in the opposite direction to that fed to the other two adjacent plate elements 11.
  • the senses of the currents can be inverted as the casting process continues, to obtain the desired effects on the metal.
  • the latter are lined on the inside by an insulating layer 28.
  • the insulating layer 28 has good characteristics of heat conductivity, which encourages heat exchange with the metal 15 being cast and therefore does not create any problems with the removal of heat which causes the progressive solidification of the liquid metal.
  • the insulating layer may be made of Al 2 O 3 , or Br 2 C + Al 2 O 3 , or AlN or amorphous diamond carbon, or other.
  • the crystalliser 10 according to the invention may have a single cooling system or each plate element 11 may be cooled autonomously.
  • the current 13 circulating on the respective plate elements 11 generate a magnetic field whose lines of force 14 close substantially transversely on the plate element 11 itself, that is to say, in the direction of the width of the plate element 11 (Fig. 2).
  • the currents 13 may be of the pulsating type and may be supplied by a multi-channel feeder.
  • each channel, associated with a relative plate element 11, of the multi-channel feeder delivers pulsations of current 13 with a maximum amplitude of 200kA, with a duration of between 50 and 500 ⁇ s and a frequency of between 2 and 150 Hz.
  • each sidewall is defined by a plurality of plate elements 11, in this case three, which are electrically insulated from each other and fed with respective currents 13 which have a different sense than the currents 13 circulating in the adjacent plate elements 11.
  • Fig. 6 it can be seen how it is possible to intensify or limit the electromagnetic forces acting on the metal 15 being cast according to the geometry of the section of the crystalliser 10, in this case with a H-shape; for example, it is possible to limit the electromagnetic forces in correspondence with the edges so as not to risk breaking the skin, and to intensify them in correspondence with the straight sides or obtuse angles.
  • the currents 13 are applied to the respective plate elements 11 by means of bracket elements 16, each of which is connected to a respective channel of a multi-channel feeder, which is not shown here by means of conductors 17, either rigid, for example bars, or flexible, for example cables.
  • a preferential embodiment of the invention uses twisted conductors so as to reduce the inductance of the system.
  • each plate element 11 is connected to the adjacent ore by means of conductor bridges 18 which electrically associate the diametrically opposite peaks of each plate element 11 with the corresponding peaks of the adjacent plate element 11; each plate element 11, with the exception of two which are connected directly to a channel of the feeder by means of conductors 17, is electrically connected in series with the adjacent plate element 11.
  • the current 13 flows substantially diagonally along each individual plate element 11 so as to follow a substantially zig-zag path, along the serially connected plate elements 11 or along the sidewalls of the crystalliser 10.
  • each current 13 has a direction parallel to the axis 12 of the crystalliser 10, while there is also a secondary component with an azimuth direction with respect to the same axis 12; in this way the effect of the secondary component of the current is superimposed over the effect of the principal component.
  • Fig. 8 The embodiment shown in Fig. 8 is similar to that of Fig. 4, only that the adjacent plate elements 11 are electrically connected in series, not in correspondence with the peaks, but in correspondence with the longitudinal terminal ends by means of conductors 19, either rigid or flexible.
  • the currents 13 flow along the crystalliser 10 in a zig-zag path, remaining parallel however to the axis 12.

  • the upper parts 11a are connected by means of conductors 17a to a first channel of a multi-channel feeder and the lower parts 11b are connected by conductors 17b to a second channel of the same multi-channel feeder.
  • the upper parts 11a and the lower parts 11b of each side of the crystalliser are individually fed by a respective channel of the multi-channel feeder.
  • Fig. 10 makes it possible to regulate in a differentiated manner the electromagnetic forces applied to the metal 15 being cast on several transverse sections, in this case one, of the crystalliser 10.
  • the current 21 generates electromagnetic forces whose effect is superimposed over the principal electromagnetic forces generated by the currents 13 parallel to the axis 12.
  • the current 21 necessary to feed the coil 20 may be of a very limited intensity, since the forces produced by this current 21 are superimposed over the principal forces produced by the currents 13.
  • the coil 20 is associated with moving means which allow the coil to be translated lengthwise along the sidewalls of the crystalliser 10.
  • a current 23 of the pulsating type is applied directly to the metal 15 being cast.
