Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1, eine Strangguss- und Heißwalzanlage zur Parallelerzeugung von unterschiedlichen Stangen oder Drähten (Siehe z.B. EP-A 0 876 225).The present invention relates, according to the preamble of claim 1, to a continuous casting and hot rolling plant for the parallel production of different Rods or wires (see e.g. EP-A 0 876 225).

ÄLTERE TECHNIKOLDER TECHNOLOGY

Dem derzeitigen Stand der Technik entsprechend sind verschiedene Produktionsmethoden für den Strangguss und das Heißwalzen bekannt, wobei die gebräuchlichste Methode den Guss und das Fließwalzen von Knüppeln betrifft, die nach und nach dünner gewalzt werden, bis die Stange oder der Metalldraht den gewünschten endgültigen Querschnitt hat.Various are in accordance with the current state of the art Production methods for continuous casting and that Hot rolling is known, the most common method being the Casting and the flow rolling of billets affects that after and after being rolled thinner until the bar or the Metal wire has the desired final cross section.

Bei kleinen Querschnitten versteht es sich, dass die Bearbeitung kostenintensiver wird, sowohl aufgrund der Arbeitszeit als auch wegen der Kompliziertheit. Zur Gewährleistung der Produktivität muss die Walzgeschwindigkeit ständig und kontinuierlich erhöht werden, wobei der Wert von 30 m/sek. bei geraden Stangen bzw. 100 m/sek. bei gespultem Metalldraht bei weitem überschritten wird.With small cross-sections, it goes without saying that machining becomes more expensive, both due to working hours as well because of the complexity. To guarantee productivity must constantly and continuously continuously increased, the value of 30 m / sec. with straight bars or 100 m / sec. with coiled metal wire is exceeded by far.

Die Erhöhung der Geschwindigkeit weist Grenzen auf, die nicht leicht zu überwinden sind; wenn also die Höchstgrenze beinahe erreicht ist, ist eine nennenswerte weitere Steigerung nicht mehr erzielbar, es sei denn bei einer unzumutbaren Erhöhung der Produktions- und Wartungskosten.The increase in speed has limits that are not easy to overcome; so if the maximum limit is almost reached, is a significant further increase no longer achievable unless an unreasonable one Increase in production and maintenance costs.

Versuche in dieser Richtung wurden für das Parallelwalzverfahren, ausgehend vom Strangguss von Knüppeln, entwickelt.Experiments in this direction have been made for the parallel rolling process, developed from the continuous casting of billets.

Das Parallelwalzverfahren hat trotz der zahlreichen vorgeschlagenen Lösungen keinen Erfolg erzielen können und wegen seiner Kompliziertheit kaum Anwendung gefunden.The parallel rolling process has been proposed despite the numerous Solutions fail and because of its complexity was hardly used.

Die Notwendigkeit zum Eingreifen auf einer Linie, beispielsweise wegen Verklemmens, macht das Walzen auf der zweiten Linie praktisch unmöglich oder zumindest sehr schwierig.The need to intervene on a line, for example because of jamming, the rolling on the second line practically impossible or at least very much difficult.

Derzeit wird von Knüppeln (nicht vom Strangguss) ausgehend das Splitwalzverfahren angewendet.Currently, billets (not continuous casting) are used the split rolling process applied.

Diese Lösung besteht in der Herstellung von zwei Stangen aus einer vorhergehenden Bearbeitung und im Walzen des Knüppels zur Anfertigung von Walzmaterial mit zunehmend geringerem Querschnitt und dünnerer Form zum Zwecke der Trennung des in zwei Stangen vorgeschobenen Walzmaterials, das um 90° gedreht und bis zur endgültigen Stärke weiter gewalzt wird (JP-A-60-130401).This solution consists in the production of two bars from a previous processing and in the rolling of the Billets for the production of rolling stock with increasing smaller cross section and thinner shape for the purpose of Separation of the rolled material fed in two bars, that rotated by 90 ° and on to the final strength is rolled (JP-A-60-130401).

Es ist auch möglich, vier Stahlstangen mit zwei nachfolgenden Splits gleichzeitig auf derselben Walzunterlage, vom gleichen Knüppel ausgehend, herzustellen.It is also possible to have four steel bars followed by two Splits simultaneously on the same rolling pad, from starting with the same stick.

Dieses Verfahren beginnt mit einem Knüppel (z.B. 160 x 160 mm), der aus einem Wärmeofen mit einer Stundenproduktion von beispielsweise 37 Tonnen/h stammt.This process starts with a stick (e.g. 160 x 160 mm) from an oven with an hourly production of, for example, 37 tons / h.

Die Walzgeschwindigkeit (3 m/Min. - 0,05 m/Sek.) wird von den Walzgerüsten nicht unterstützt und verursacht Schäden und Ausfälle in den Walzmitteln, nicht zuletzt auch aufgrund der Überhitzung der Rollen.The rolling speed (3 m / min. - 0.05 m / sec.) Is from does not support the rolling stands and causes damage and failures in the rolling means, not least due to the overheating of the rollers.

Zusätzlich sind ausgehend von einem Knüppel von 160 x 160 mm zur Herstellung eines Rundstahls von 8,5 mm Durchmesser etwa 18 Walzgerüste notwendig.In addition, starting from a 160 x 160 billet mm for the production of a round steel of 8.5 mm diameter about 18 roll stands necessary.

Um produktiv zu sein, muss die Geschwindigkeit des in das erste Walzgerüst einlaufenden Knüppels ca. um das Dreifache höher als die Gussgeschwindigkeit sein.In order to be productive, the speed of the in must first billet incoming billet about three times be higher than the casting speed.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der derzeit hohen Geschwindigkeit ist die Erhöhung des Abfalls aufgrund des Schopfens an den beiden Enden einer jeden hergestellten Stange.Another disadvantage of the currently high speed is the increase in waste due to scooping on both ends of each rod made.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Metallstangen oder - drähte mittels Heißwalzverfahren in derselben Menge, aber bei geringerer Walzgeschwindigkeit, ebenfalls mit einem Querschnitt < 5,5 mm, auf zuverlässige und kostengünstige weise herzustellen.An object of the invention is to metal bars or - wires in the same amount by hot rolling, but at a lower rolling speed, also with a Cross section <5.5 mm, on reliable and inexpensive to produce wisely.

DE-4009861A (SMS) bezieht sich auf eine Walzanlage zur Herstellung von Stahlstangen, wobei man unmittelbar von einer Anlage mit mehr als einer Stranggusswalzlinie ausgeht. DE-4009861A (SMS) relates to a rolling mill for Manufacture of steel bars, one directly from a system with more than one continuous casting line.

Aus der US - A - 5 404 931 ist eine Anlage zur Herstellung von Streifen, Stäben und Drähten bekannt. Dabei wird zwei parallel auf einem Drehtisch angeordneten, oben offenen, Gießnuten bzw. Gießrinnen das flüssige Metall zugeleitet. Nachdem die beiden parallel erzeugten Halbfertigteile außen abgekühlt sind, werden sie aus den Gießnuten bzw. Gießrinnen herausgeleitet und einem parallelen Walz- bzw. Heißwalzverfahren unterworfen. Am Ende der Bearbeitungslinie werden die fertigen, d.h. auf Endmaß gewalzten endlosen Streifen, Stäbe oder Drähte zu einem Coil aufgewickelt oder in Längen geschnitten.From US - A - 5 404 931 is a plant for the production of strips, rods and wires known. Two are arranged in parallel on a turntable, open at the top, pouring grooves or troughs fed the liquid metal. After this the two semi-finished parts produced in parallel have cooled outside, they are made led out of the casting grooves or troughs and a parallel rolling or Hot rolling process subjected. At the end of the processing line, the finished, i.e. Endless strips, rods or wires rolled to size Coil wound or cut into lengths.

To at a different time and on a different processing line, this will be Intermediate semi-finished product heated, provided with longitudinal grooves with the help of pre-rolling agents and then split and cut into separate rectangular bars.

Diese rechteckigen Stangen werden nacheinander einem weiteren Zurichtwalzverfahren zur Anfertigung des Endprodukts unterworfen. These rectangular bars are successively subjected to a further finishing rolling process subjected to the manufacture of the final product.

Diese Lösung ist eine diskontinuierliche Lösung zur Umformung eines Materials mittels einer Vielzahl von getrennten Bearbeitungslinien, wobei es sich um eine Strangguss- und Heißfließwalzanlage handelt.This solution is a discontinuous solution for forming a material by means of a large number of separate processing lines, it being a Continuous casting and hot flow rolling mill deals.
