Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Stranggießen von Blöcken, Knüppeln, Brammen, insbesondere von Dünnbrammen, im Abmessungsbereich von etwa 20 bis 150 mm Dicke und etwa 600 bis 3500 mm Breite, mittels einer oszillierbaren, wasserkühlbaren Kokille im Zusammenwirken mit einem Tauchausguss unter Einsatz von Gießpulver zur Bildung von Gießschlacke, wobei die lokalen Arbeitstemperaturen und Wärmestromdichten im für die Oberflächenqualität einer Bramme kritischen Meniskusbereich erfasst und die Messsignale an einem Rechner weitergeleitet werden. Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for the continuous casting of blocks, billets, Slabs, in particular of thin slabs, in the size range of approximately 20 up to 150 mm thick and approximately 600 to 3500 mm wide, by means of an oscillatable water-cooled mold used in conjunction with a diving spout of casting powder for the formation of foundry slag, the local working temperatures and heat flux densities in the surface quality of a slab detected critical meniscus area and the measurement signals forwarded to a computer become. The invention also relates to a device for implementation of the procedure.

Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zum Stranggießen, insbesondere von Dünnbrammen, sind bekannt und wurden im Laufe der zurückliegenden Entwicklungsperioden stetig verbessert.Methods and apparatus for continuous casting, in particular of thin slabs, are known and have been over the past development periods steadily improved.

Es ist bspw. bekannt, dass infolge sehr unterschiedlicher Wärmeleitfähigkeiten der am Stranggießen beteiligten unterschiedlichen Medien und der daraus resultierenden Widerstände gegen Wärmeleitung und Wärmeübergänge die Bildung einer im Entstehen begriffenen Strangschale eines Gussstranges und speziell deren Oberflächenbeschaffenheit in relativ weiten Grenzen veränderlich ist. Insbesondere spielt beim Wärmekontakt zwischen Schmelzbad und Kokillenwand die Dicke der flüssigen Schlacke aus geschmolzenem Gießpulver wegen deren spezifisch extrem geringen Leitfähigkeit mit ca. 1 W/K x m eine wesentliche Rolle, weil sie dem Wärmeübergang zwischen Schmelze und Kokillenplatten einen erheblichen Widerstand entgegensetzt. Im Gegensatz zur flüssigen Schlacke besitzt Kupfer eine extrem hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit mit ca. 360 W/K x m.It is known, for example, that due to very different thermal conductivities of involved in continuous casting different media and the resulting Resistance to heat conduction and heat transfer the formation of a emerging strand shell of a cast strand and especially its Surface texture is variable within relatively wide limits. Especially plays in the thermal contact between the molten bath and mold wall, the thickness the liquid slag of molten casting powder because of their specific extremely low conductivity with about 1 W / K x m a significant role, because they the heat transfer between the melt and mold plates a considerable Resists resistance. Unlike liquid slag, it has copper an extremely high thermal conductivity of approx. 360 W / K x m.

Durch die unterschiedlichen Einzelwiderstände der Wärmeleitfähigkeit zwischen Kupfer, Schlacke und Stahl ergeben sich innerhalb der Kokillenplatten unterschiedliche Wärmestromdichten, die einen erheblichen Einfluss auf das Erstarrungsverhalten eines zu gießenden Stranges ausüben.Due to the different individual resistances of the thermal conductivity between Copper, slag and steel are different within the mold plates Heat flux densities, which have a significant influence on the solidification behavior exercise a strand to be cast.

No partial measured values are recorded over the mold width and in principle, no amount of water for cooling changed.

In DE 195 29 931 A1 wird eine Brammenkokille beschrieben, die aus mindestens drei voneinander unabhängigen Kühlkammersegmenten besteht, die im Bereich des Kokillenausgangs gesonderte Anschlüsse zur unabhängigen Zufuhr von Kokillenkühlwasser aufweisen. Mit dieser Anordnung sollen Unsymmetrien der spezifischen Wärmeströme zwischen dem Bereich Tauchausguss und den restlichen Kokillenbereichen erkannt werden und durch Konizitätsverstellung der Schmalseiten der Kokille und Kühlwasserregelung ausgeglichen werden.

Dabei wird die Zulauftemperatur des Kühlwassers gemessen, die Differenz aus Zulauf- und Ablauftemperatur ermittelt und aus der Kühlwassermenge pro Zeiteinheit die partielle integrale Wärmeabfuhr aus einer Kokillenwand bzw. aus einem Kokillenbandbereich ermittelt und partielle Ungleichheiten durch partielle Mengenkorrekturen des Kühlwassers ausglichen. Die flüssigkeitsgekühlte Kokille zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist so gestaltet, dass im Wasserablaufbereich zwischen einer Kupferplatte und der Kühlwasserablauföffnung des Wasserkastens insbesondere pro Breitseitenplatte mindestens an zwei Stellen Temperaturfühler angeordnet sind und deren Signalleitungen an einen Rechner, bevorzugt mit einem Online-Bildschirm angeschlossen sind.At this time, the cooling water temperature of a mold wall becomes at least two Make in the region of the drain holes of a copper plate and the associated Water box is measured and measured from across the width of the copper plate Values a temperature profile is created and obtained in time intervals Temperature profiles are compared.
