Abstract

Process for continuously casting thin slabs comprises: providing the casting thread (4) with a bulge (5) before the region of soft reduction stage (III) by adjusting the jaw (W) of the segments (2.1 - 2.n) as a result of the ferrostatic inner pressure; and partially or completely pushing back the bulge to the thread thickness in the segment feed of the soft reduction stage. Preferred Features: The jaw width of at least one segment is adjusted to a size larger than the outlet thickness of the mold (1) before the soft reduction stage.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Stranggießen von Brammen, und insbesondere von Dünnbrammen, in einer Stranggießanlage mit einer Strangführung, umfassend unterhalb einer Kokille im lichten Abstand einstellbare Strangführungssegmente, insbesondere mit Rollenpaaren, wobei zur Verminderung von Seigerungen und Kemporositäten der Gießstrang im Bereich seiner Resterstarrung durch Anstellung der Strangführungssegmente in der Dicke reduziert wird (Soft-Reduction).The invention relates to a process for the continuous casting of slabs, and in particular of thin slabs, in a continuous caster with one strand guide, extensively adjustable strand guide segments below a mold, especially with pairs of rollers, whereby to reduce segregation and core porosities of the casting strand in the area of its residual solidification is reduced by adjusting the strand guide segments in thickness (soft reduction).

Bei einem bekannten Verfahren (DE 41 38 740 A1) durchläuft der Strang eine Soft-Reduction-Strecke bei deren Eintritt er noch nicht durcherstarrt ist, an deren Ende er jedoch durcherstarrt sein soll, wofür u. a. die Gießgeschwindigkeit einen wesentlichen Betriebsparameter darstellt. Im Bereich der Enderstarrung wird dabei eine Dickenreduktion bspw. für Dünnbrammen zwischen 0,5 und 3 mm pro Meter Gießlänge durchgeführt. Dazu werden in der Soft-Reduction-Strecke die Rollenpaare einzelner Segmente über das Schrumpfverhalten des Stranges hinausgehend enger eingestellt, um im Bereich der Resterstarrung eine Verbesserung der Strang-Innenqualität zu erreichen. In a known method (DE 41 38 740 A1), the strand runs through a Soft reduction route, at the entry of which he is not yet rigid, at the other In the end, however, he is said to be completely frozen, for which u. a. the casting speed one represents essential operating parameters. In the area of final solidification a thickness reduction, for example, for thin slabs between 0.5 and 3 mm per meter Casting length performed. For this purpose, the pairs of rollers in the soft reduction line of individual segments going beyond the shrinkage behavior of the strand more closely adjusted to improve the residual solidification Achieve strand interior quality.

Die EP 0 834 364 beschreibt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung für Hochgeschwindigkeits-Stranggießanlagen mit einer Strangdickenreduktion während der Erstarrung, wobei Schmelze vorzugsweise in eine oszillierende Kokille gegossen und der Strangquerschnitt linear über eine Mindestlänge der Strangführung unmittelbar unter der Kokille, dem sogenannten Gießwalzen, reduziert wird, mit sich anschließender weiterer Strang-Reduktion über die restliche Strangführung, der "Soft-Reduction", bis maximal unmittelbar vor der Enderstarrung bzw. Sumpfspitze. Durch diese verfahrenstechnischen Maßnahmen wird die Deformationsdichte der Strangquerschnittsreduktion so vorgegeben, dass die kritische Deformation der Strangschale unter Berücksichtigung der hohen Gießgeschwindigkeit und Stahlgüte nicht überschritten wird.EP 0 834 364 describes a method and a device for high-speed continuous casting plants with a strand thickness reduction during the Solidification, the melt preferably being poured into an oscillating mold and the strand cross section linearly over a minimum length of the strand guide under the mold, the so-called casting rolls, is reduced with itself Subsequent further strand reduction via the remaining strand guidance, the "Soft Reduction", up to a maximum of just before the final solidification or top of the sump. Through these procedural measures, the deformation density the reduction of the strand cross section so that the critical deformation the strand shell taking into account the high casting speed and Steel grade is not exceeded.

Die EP 0 177 796 B1 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Führen und Richten eines Gießstranges im Richt- und Auslaufbereich einer Bogenstranggießanlage, wobei gegenüberliegend angeordnete Rollen von einer Federkraft gegen den ferrostatischen Druck des Gießstranges in einem dem Gießverfahren entsprechenden Abstand gehalten werden. Dabei wird ein Gießstrangbereich erhöhter Festigkeit wegverfolgt und bei dessen Durchlauf zwischen gegenüberliegenden Rollen wird die jeweilige Federkraft durch eine geringere Zusatzkraft reduziert. Dieser Vorschlag, nämlich den lichten Abstand bzw. die Maulweite über Hydraulikzylinder mit eingebauter induktiver Wegemessung und Servoventilen stufenlos einzustellen, erfordert eine rechnerische oder messtechnische Ermittlung der Lage der Sumpfspitze.EP 0 177 796 B1 discloses a method for guiding and straightening a Casting strand in the straightening and outlet area of a continuous sheet caster, where oppositely arranged rollers by a spring force against the ferrostatic Pressure of the casting strand at a distance corresponding to the casting process being held. This creates a cast strand area of increased strength is traced and as it passes between opposing roles the respective spring force is reduced by a lower additional force. This suggestion namely the clear distance or the mouth width with hydraulic cylinders built-in inductive displacement measurement and servo valves continuously adjustable, requires a mathematical or metrological determination of the position of the swamp tip.

Die in Stranggießanlagen entsprechend den vorgenannten Dokumenten und den darin beschriebenen Verfahren und Anlagen hergestellten Brammen oder Blöcke dienen als Ausgangsmaterial für Walzwerksprodukte zum Erzeugen von Blechen oder Bändern. The in continuous casting plants according to the aforementioned documents and the processes and plants described therein manufactured slabs or blocks serve as the starting material for rolling mill products for the production of sheet metal or ribbons.

Um beim Stranggießen, insbesondere von Dünnbrammen, Seigerungen im Strang zu verringern und ein vergleichsweises optimales Gefüge zu erzielen, wird in der Strangführungs-Strecke der Anlage im Bereich der Enderstarrung zwecks Dickenreduktion, z. B. zwischen 0,5 und 3 mm pro Meter Strang, das Oberjoch eines Strangführungssegmentes mit den darin gelagerten Rollen zwischen Einlauf und Auslauf schräg angestellt, so dass auslaufseitig eine kleinere Maulweite als einlaufseitig vorhanden ist. Dabei wird vielfach der Strang im Bereich der Resterstarrung in der Dicke einschließlich der bereits durcherstarrten Kantenbereiche reduziert. Dies führt jedoch zu einer unnötig erhöhten Belastung von Rollen und ihren Lagerungen, ohne dass hierbei die Gefüge-Innenqualität im Kantenbereich des Stranges beeinflusst wird.In order to ensure continuous casting, especially of thin slabs, segregations in the strand to reduce and achieve a comparatively optimal structure is in the Strand guide section of the plant in the area of final solidification for the purpose of thickness reduction, e.g. B. between 0.5 and 3 mm per meter strand, the upper yoke one Strand guide segment with the rollers stored between the inlet and The outlet is set at an angle so that the mouth is smaller on the outlet side than on the inlet side is available. Often the strand in the area of residual solidification reduced in thickness including the already solidified edge areas. However, this leads to an unnecessarily increased load on roles and their Bearing without the internal structure quality in the edge area of the Stranges is affected.

Ausgehend von diesen Zusammenhängen und den sich daraus ergebenden Erkenntnissen beim Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein effektives Verfahren zur Verbesserung des Strang-Innengefüges in dessen Reduktionsbereich der Resterstarrung unter Vermeidung erhöhter Rollen- und Lagerbelastung anzugeben, welches hauptsächlich auf die mittleren Partien des Stranges einwirkt und die bereits durcherstarrten, Randpartien des Stranges bei der Verdichtungsarbeit ausspart.Based on these connections and the resulting knowledge in the prior art, the invention is based on the object effective method to improve the internal strand structure in its reduction area the residual solidification while avoiding increased roller and bearing loads to indicate which mainly relates to the middle parts of the Acts and the already solidified, edge parts of the strand spares the compaction work.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung bei einem Verfahren der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art vorgeschlagen, dass der Gießstrang vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke durch entsprechende Maulweiten-Einstellung der Segmente infolge des ferrostatischen Innendrucks mit einer gezielten Ausbauchung versehen wird, und dass die Ausbauchung in der Segmentführung der Soft-Reduction-Strecke ganz oder teilweise auf die Strangdicke zurückgedrückt wird, in der die Resterstarrung stattfindet.To solve the problem with the invention in a method in the preamble of claim 1 type proposed that the casting strand before the area of the soft reduction section by adjusting the jaw width accordingly of the segments due to the ferrostatic internal pressure with a targeted Bulge is provided, and that the bulge in the segment guide of the soft reduction section is pressed back in whole or in part to the strand thickness in which the residual solidification takes place.

Damit wird im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik und den bisherigen Verfahrenskonzepten bei gleicher Dickenreduzierung und Kernverdichtung eine geringere Krafteinwirkung erforderlich, und die Rollen- bzw. Lagerbelastung verringert, was der gesamten Stützkonstruktion der Strangführung zugute kommt und darüber hinaus die Strangqualität infolge verminderter Seigerungen und Kernporositäten signifikant verbessert bzw. bei unveränderter Krafteinwirkung eine größere Dikkenreduzierung und Kernverdichtung ergibt.This is compared to the state of the art and the previous process concepts a lower one with the same thickness reduction and core compression Force is required, and the roller or bearing load reduces what the entire support structure of the strand guide benefits and above the strand quality as a result of reduced segregation and core porosity significantly improved or, with unchanged force, a greater reduction in thickness and core compression results.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens sieht vor, daß der Gießstrang vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke bei veränderlich einstellbarer Maulweite der Segmente in wenigstens einem Segment zuerst in einen Streckenbereich sich verringernder Maulweite im kernflüssigen Bereich reduziert wird ("Liquid-Core-Reduction") und anschließend einen Streckenbereich sich vergrößernder Maulweite durchläuft, und danach in weiteren Segmenten in eine bis zur Sumpfspitze reichende Soft-Reduction-Strecke einmündet.An embodiment of the method provides that the casting strand in front of the area the soft reduction section with variably adjustable jaw width of the segments in at least one segment first decreasing into a route area Mouth width in the core liquid area is reduced ("liquid core reduction") and then traverses a section of an enlarged mouth, and then in further segments in a soft reduction stretch that reaches to the top of the swamp flows into.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens sind entsprechend den Unteransprüchen vorgesehen.Further refinements of the method are in accordance with the subclaims intended.

Cross-sectional contour of the casting strand

In der Figur 1 befindet sich unterhalb der Kokille 1 ein Stück einer Strangführung mit den Segmenten 2.1, 2.2 und 2.3. Das Segment 2.2 ist unterteilt in die Segmentbereiche 2.2a und 2.2b. Alle Segmente weisen Führungsrollen 3, 3' auf und sind im lichten Abstand zueinander einstellbar.In FIG. 1 there is a piece of a strand guide below the mold 1 with the segments 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Segment 2.2 is divided into the segment areas 2.2a and 2.2b. All segments have guide rollers 3, 3 'and can be adjusted in close proximity to each other.

Zur Vermeidung von Seigerungen im Strang 4 bei dessen Erstarrung sowie zur Erzielung eines dichten Gefüges wird bei diesem in einer Soft-Reduction-Strecke III der Strangführung 20 im Bereich der Enderstarrung eine Dickenreduzierung mit einer Marge zwischen 0,5 und 3 mm pro Meter durchgeführt.To avoid segregation in strand 4 during its solidification and A dense structure is achieved in this in a soft reduction range III of the strand guide 20 in the area of final solidification with a reduction in thickness a margin between 0.5 and 3 mm per meter.

Im Stammbaum des Gießstranges 4 der Figur 1 ist dargestellt, daß der Gießstrang vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke III durch entsprechende Maulweiten-Einstellung der Rollen 3, 3' nach vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke III gezielt eine Ausbauchung 5 erhält, wonach die Ausbauchung 5 in der konisch angestellten Rollenführung der Soft-Reduction-Strecke III auf diejenige Strangdicke reduziert wird, in der die Resterstarrung stattfindet.In the family tree of the casting strand 4 of Figure 1 it is shown that the casting strand in front of the area of the soft reduction section III by adjusting the mouth width accordingly the rollers 3, 3 'after the area of the soft reduction section III specifically receives a bulge 5, after which the bulge 5 in the conical Roller guide of the soft reduction section III to that strand thickness is reduced in which the residual solidification takes place.

Damit wird ein effektives Verfahren zur Reduzierung von Seigerungen und zur Verdichtung des Strang-Innengefüges in dessen Reduktionsbereich der Resterstarrung unter Vermeidung erhöhter Rollen- und Lagerbelastung angegeben, welches hauptsächlich auf die noch nicht vollständig durcherstarrten, insbesondere mittleren Partien des Stranges einwirkt und das die bereits durcherstarrten Randpartien bei der Verdichtungsarbeit ausspart.This is an effective method for reducing segregation and Compression of the inner strand structure in its reduction area of residual solidification while avoiding increased roller and bearing loads mainly on those that have not yet completely hardened, especially middle parts of the strand and this affects the already solidified edge parts in the compaction work.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung dargestellt, wonach der Gießstrang 4 vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke bei veränderlich einstellbarer Maulweite (W) der Rollen 3, 3' zuerst eine parallele Strecke 1 unterhalb der Kokille 1 in wenigstens einem ersten Segment 2.1 durchläuft. In einem folgenden Segment 2.2 wird zuerst in einem Streckenbereich 2a sich verringernder Maulweite (-W) eine "Liquid-Core-Reduction" durchgeführt, anschließend durchläuft der Gießstrang einen Streckenbereich IIb sich vergrößernder Maulweite (+W). Danach mündet der Gießstrang 4 in weiteren Segmenten 2.3 bis 2.4 bzw. 2.5 (nicht gezeigt) in eine bis zur Sumpfspitze reichende Soft-Reduction-Strecke III ein. Der Bereich vergrößerter Maulweite +W der Strecke IIb der Figur 2 ist zwischen den Bereichen von Liquid-Core-Reduction (lla) und Soft-Reduction III angeordnet.2 shows an embodiment of the method according to the invention, after which the casting strand 4 in front of the area of the soft reduction section is variable adjustable mouth width (W) of the rollers 3, 3 'first a parallel path 1 passes below the mold 1 in at least a first segment 2.1. In one following segment 2.2 is first decreasing in a route area 2a Mouth width (-W) carried out a "liquid core reduction", then the casting strand passes through a section area IIb with an increasing mouth width (+ W). Then the casting strand 4 opens into further segments 2.3 to 2.4 or 2.5 (not shown) in a soft reduction section III which reaches to the top of the swamp on. The area of increased mouth width + W of section IIb of FIG. 2 is between the areas of liquid core reduction (lla) and soft reduction III.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Verfahren nach der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Maulweite W vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction III linear vergrößert wird. Es kann aber auch von der Maßnahme Gebrauch gemacht sein, dass die Maulweite W vor dem Bereich III der Soft-Reduction nicht-linear vergrößert wird.An embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the mouth width W is linearly enlarged before the area of Soft Reduction III. It can but also be made use of the measure that the mouth width W before area III of the soft reduction is increased non-linearly.

Von Vorteil ist, dass bei der Herstellung von Dünnbrammen zur Vermeidung einer kritischen Deformation der Strangschale die Vergrößerung der Maulweite W zwischen 1 und 8 mm eingestellt wird.The advantage is that in the manufacture of thin slabs to avoid a critical deformation of the strand shell the increase in the internal width W between 1 and 8 mm is set.

Dagegen kann bei der Herstellung üblicher Brammen mit Brammendicken von bspw. 250 mm und mehr eine Vergrößerung der Maulweite (+W) zwischen 3 und 20 mm eingestellt werden.In contrast, in the production of conventional slabs with slab thicknesses of For example, 250 mm and more an increase in the mouth width (+ W) between 3 and 20 mm can be set.

In Fig. 3 ist der Gießstrang im Querschnitt dargestellt. Die beidseitige Ausbauchung 5 entsteht durch eine vergrößerte Maulweiteneinstellung vor dem Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke III. Diese Ausbauchung 5 wird im Bereich der Soft-Reduction-Strecke III ganz oder teilweise zurückgedrückt. Die durchgezogene Linie zeigt die Querschnittskontur des ausgebauchten Stranges. Die gestrichelte Linie 5' zeigt die Kontur des Stranges nach dem Verlassen der Soft-Reduction-Strecke.In Fig. 3, the casting strand is shown in cross section. The bulge on both sides 5 is the result of an enlarged mouth width adjustment in front of the area the soft reduction route III. This bulge 5 is in the area of the soft reduction route III fully or partially pushed back. The solid line shows the cross-sectional contour of the bulged strand. The dashed Line 5 'shows the contour of the strand after leaving the soft reduction path.
