Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the automatic casting of continuous casting plants, preferably for casting strand thicknesses between 10 and 150 mm and widths up to 3,500 mm using a mold level control and a closure system, consisting of a slide system or preferably a plug system.
- a mold level control and a closure system consisting of a slide system or preferably a plug system.
- continuous casting plants with an oscillating mold have developed into high-performance plants that are designed for casting speeds of up to 10 m / min.
- the thin slab plants with a casting thickness in the mold of 40 - 150 mm and a width of 800 - 3,500 mm are particularly worth mentioning here.
- a funnel mold (patent DE 3400220) makes it necessary that even the filling of the mold from the opening of the distributor to the departure of the slab from the mold with the subsequent reproducible start-up strategy up to the target speed of e.g. B. 6 m / min reproducible.
- BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE travel of the mold bottom with the start-up strand or the slab should be between 10 - 20 seconds.
- the heat balance in the distributor (3) essentially depends on the distributor temperature TT and the residence time tT (5). Is the preheating temperature TT (4.1) z. B. 1200 ° C instead of 300 ° C (4.2), the pre-solidification (9) on the inner distributor wall (6.1), which consists of refractory bricks and is carried by the steel jacket (6.2), is greater during the casting process. This pre-solidification effect also occurs at the stopper (7) and stopper seat (8.1), which forms the inlet of the immersion spout (8), and leads to the disturbance of a uniform steel flow according to the valve characteristic curve, which is determined by the stopper position and the stopper seat.
- FIG. 2 shows a better insight into the pouring disturbance at the stopper seat (8.1).
- the pre-solidification (9) on the plug seat and on the plug (7) itself is shown here.
- the pre-solidification (9) blocks the uniform steel flow according to the mass flow characteristic of the valve seat, consisting of the plug (7) and the plug seat (8.1) of the immersion spout (8).
- FIG. 2 also makes it clear that the material of the immersion spout (8) and the stopper (7) has a higher thermal conductivity of approx. 10 W / K • m than that of the normal refractory material (6.1) of the distributor with one Has a conductivity of approx. 3 W / mK, which means that the pre-solidification at the plug seat is more pronounced than that in the distributor.
- a further intensifying influence on the pre-solidification (9) and thus on the disruption of the start-up process occurs with a shorter preheating time tT (5), since the temperature gradient in the distributor wall at the time of sprinkling between hot face (6.1.2) and cold , face (6.2.1) of the steel armor (6.2) with a shorter preheating time and vice versa.
- the steel temperature in the pan also increases, for example determined by the temperature at which the steel is discharged, TLF (11) at the end of the ladle metallurgical treatment, e.g. B. on the pan oven (2), influence.
- the shape of the distributor and the distributor volume ie both the ratio of the distributor surface to the distributor volume and the ladle pouring capacity, are important for the strength of the pre-solidification at the plug seat.
- these influencing variables are to be regarded as constant plant data and are not of direct influence for optimal process control 'online'.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus that a desired casting time in the window of z. B. 10 - 20 sec using a mold level control (10), a sprue strategy (10.1), the strand drives (10.2) and the stopper or slide valve position (10.3).
- Figure 1 shows the influencing variables on the heat balance of the steel, for example, between the ladle furnace and the casting start in a predetermined time window of 10-20 seconds.
- FIG. 2 shows the pre-solidification, for example at the stopper of an immersion nozzle, without (a) and with (b) molding the pre-solidification.
- FIG. 3 shows the functional relationship, for example in the form of a mathematical product, between the filling time of the coconut and process-technical influencing variables for different internal manifold wall temperatures.
- FIG. 4 shows, by way of example for a planned filling time and for a predetermined steel temperature in the pan and a distributor preheating time, the desired distributor weight, at which the stopper is to be opened, for different distributor skin temperatures.
- Figure 1 shows the influencing variables between the ladle furnace (2) and the plug seat (8.1) on the pre-solidification and thus on the casting process in the continuous casting mold (13).
- the distributor steel weight WT (14) is a process parameter that breaks through the pre-solidification when the distributor is opened and flushes the valve position between the plug (7) and the plug seat (8.1).
- partial solidification (9) is shown schematically in partial image a), which represents an uncontrolled mass around the stopper.
- Sub-picture b) shows the situation after the pre-solidification (9.1) has been molded in, for example by quickly opening and closing the plug at least once before starting the start-up strategy.
- the uncontrolled pre-solidification consisting of crystals and melt (steel sponge filled with melt)
- FIG. 3 shows the functional relationship between the filling time (15) and, for example, the product * the temperature at which the steel is delivered to the ladle furnace T • LF (11),
- FIG. 4 represents a table which ultimately makes the level of the invention clear.
- the examples clearly show that for a given steel temperature T • LF (11) and distributor preheating time t • T (5) immediately before opening the pan for a desired filling time t • M (15) of, for example, 14 or 10 seconds, the corresponding degree of filling is expressed can be determined as distribution steel weight (14) or ferro-static pressure (14.1), 'online' using a mathematical function to ensure the desired filling time.
