Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new continuous steel casting device, making it possible to obtain an end product of mixed chemical composition, namely comprising on the one hand the base steel, and on the other hand, the 'base steel alloyed with elements added during casting.
- the invention also relates to the method implemented by the device.
- continuous steel casting essentially consists in supplying with molten steel coming from a distributor or tundish basket, a cooled mold made of copper or copper alloy, called a continuous casting ingot mold, the latter being open at its lower end, and extracting it. through this opening, a partially solidified continuous ingot.
- the molten steel is introduced into the ingot mold by means of at least one nozzle, that is to say a generally tubular element disposed between the distributor basket and the ingot mold.
- the lower end of the nozzle - is usually provided with one or two outlet openings located in the axis of the nozzle or laterally, and opens under the upper level of liquid steel present in the mold.
- nozzles intended to obtain better cooling of the superheated liquid steel coming from the distributor basket.
- the goal is to obtain pasty steel at the entrance to the mold.
- These nozzles may in particular have a heat exchanger consisting of a water-cooled copper tube or else a deflector or dome. This has the role of forcing the superheated steel to flow in a thin layer along the walls of the nozzle, which makes it possible to significantly increase the heat exchange surface.
- This technique is called hollow jet casting.
- an inert gas such as argon
- an inert gas is often injected at the inlet of the molten steel into the nozzle in order to avoid oxidation of the steel and to prevent clogging. accidental, in particular by formation of alumina.
- the technique of hollow jet casting makes it possible in particular to reduce the risk of clogging of the gas supply, compared to the case where the intake orifice thereof is directly in contact with the liquid steel introduced into the nozzle.
- the inert gas such as argon for example
- inject a certain quantity of finely divided material into the hollow jet using as a vector a non-oxidizing gas at slight pressure compared to atmospheric pressure, in order to prevent any entry of air.
- This material is for example an alloy metal or a ceramic. The goal is to obtain, as the case may be, a metal alloy or a composite.
- such a technique can be used for example: to increase the quality of the surface treatment of products.
- galvanization for example, it is desirable to reduce the silicon content near the surface of the slabs, in order to improve the galvanizability of the rolled products; - to improve the flowability, for example in the case of peritectic steels, whose carbon content is of the order of 0.1 - 0.15%, particularly difficult to pour, where it is desired to modify the carbon content, proximity to the surface; - for pouring products whose mechanical properties vary along their thickness, such as for example a high surface resistance and a high core ductility.
- the present invention aims to provide a device and an associated method of continuous steel casting for obtaining products with mixed chemical composition, not having the drawbacks of the state of the art.
- the invention proposes a new method allowing the use of an existing continuous casting installation, comprising a single specific nozzle.
- the present invention relates to a continuous casting nozzle, intended for the flow of steel from a distribution basket in an ingot mold; said nozzle comprising mainly, if it is described in a vertical position and considered in the direction of progression of the molten steel from top to bottom, a vertical duct, terminated by an upper base having an inlet orifice for the liquid steel to .
- said conduit comprising in its upper part a distributor member disposed substantially at the entrance to said vertical conduit and comprising a dome making it possible to deflect the metal entering the nozzle; said nozzle also comprising means for injecting gaseous, liquid or solid material finely divided under said dome in an internal zone; characterized in that the dome of said distributor member is provided with means allowing the separation of the liquid steel into two jets, which penetrate separately into the mold.
- the dome of said distributor member has at least four passages which are interconnected so as to split the flow of the molten steel into two separate jets, flowing respectively via a so-called internal zone and a so-called external zone towards the ingot mold. .
- the external zone opens towards the ingot mold by means of at least two lateral orifices and the internal zone opens towards the ingot mold by means of at least one first orifice.
- the liquid metal passing under the dome in the zone where finely divided gas, liquid or solid material is injected is channeled into the internal zone and flows into the ingot mold via the first opening (s).
- the liquid metal passing under the dome in the zone where finely divided gas, liquid or solid material is injected is channeled into the external zone and flows into the ingot mold via the side holes.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a nozzle, intended for the flow of steel from a distribution basket in an ingot mold.
- the nozzle mainly comprises, if it is described in a vertical position and considered in the direction of progression of the liquid steel from top to bottom, a vertical duct, terminated by an upper base having an inlet orifice for the liquid steel to from the distribution basket and a lower base having a first outlet orifice.
- the conduit has in its upper part a distributor member, disposed substantially at the entrance to said vertical conduit and comprising a dome making it possible to deflect the metal entering the nozzle, as well as a vertical wall ending the dome downwards and extending to the lower base of said duct, said vertical wall having at least two lateral outlet orifices, the distributor member dividing the vertical duct into two physically separate zones, a so-called internal zone and a so-called external zone.
- the nozzle also comprises means for injecting gaseous, liquid or solid material finely divided under said dome in the so-called internal zone.
- the nozzle is characterized in that the dome of said distributor member is provided with means allowing the separation of the liquid steel into two jets, a jet flowing in the so-called internal zone and entering the ingot mold by said first orifice and a jet flowing in the so-called external zone and entering the ingot mold through the lateral orifices.
- the vertical duct is of cylindrical shape, with circular or oval section.
- the liquid metal constituting the jet in which an injection is made under the dome consists of a mixture of base steel and injected material under the dome.
- the chemical composition of the metal obtained after having operated an injection under the dome is different from the chemical composition of the base steel.
- the finely divided solid material injected under the dome is suspended in a non-oxidizing gas.
- the finely divided solid material injected under the dome has a particle size of less than 2000 ⁇ m.
- the particle size of said finely divided material is between 100 and 300 ⁇ m.
- the two jets have different flow rates.
- the flow rate of liquid metal poured for the flat products is between 1.5 and 6 tonnes per minute.
- the throughput is between 0.3 and 0.5 tonnes per minute.
- the vertical pipe is provided with means for regulating the temperature of the liquid metal flowing via said pipe.
- the means for regulating the temperature of the liquid metal flowing in the part situated before the distributor element comprising the dome are distinct from the means for regulating the temperature of the liquid metal flowing in the part situated after the aforementioned dome.
- the nozzle of the invention is part of a continuous steel casting installation, preferably in the form of long or flat products, comprising a distributor basket provided with an outlet orifice and a device for regulating flow, and an ingot mold.
- the nozzle then allows the casting of a steel of mixed composition in the ingot mold from the molten base steel of the distributor basket.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to a new process for the continuous casting of steel, preferably in the form of flat or long products, comprising the following steps: - casting of a molten base steel from a distributor basket by a outlet orifice provided with a flow regulating member in a nozzle comprising a member distributor having a dome and a vertical wall separating the nozzle into an internal zone and an external zone;
- the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: - obtaining in continuous casting a steel of mixed chemical composition, using a single nozzle compatible with the casting installation; simplification compared to a complicated installation, and therefore very expensive, but theoretically feasible ' industrially, comprising at least two nozzles and / or two distribution baskets; - feasibility of continuously casting a range of steel or metallurgical products, said to have high added value, such as coated products
- FIG. 1 schematically represents, in an elevation view, a continuous steel casting installation, using a nozzle according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 schematically represents, in a plan view, a tundish distributor incorporated in a nozzle according to the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows a casting device according to a particular embodiment of the invention, mounted between a continuous casting mold 1 and a casting ladle or a casting distributor basket 2 comprising an outlet duct 3.
- the outlet duct 3 is fitted with a flow regulator, such as a stopper 4 or a sliding drawer.
- the nozzle 5 can be for example provided with a copper heat exchanger, provided with a water cooling system.
- the upper base of the cylinder is in contact with the conduit 3. This base is provided with an orifice corresponding to the lower orifice of the conduit.
- the nozzle 5 has at its lower part three communication openings allowing the passage of the steel towards the ingot mold: two lateral openings 8 and a hearing 9 located in the lower base of the duct 5.
- a dome-shaped distributor member 6 At the upper end of the nozzle 5 is disposed a dome-shaped distributor member 6, the upper surface of which is in a slight slope, preferably greater than 10 ° relative to the horizontal.
- the dome 6 is fixed by means not shown to the conduit 5.
- An injection device 7 is located so as to introduce under the dome 6, a gas, a liquid or finely divided solid particles or powder, possibly using in the latter case a non-oxidizing gas as a vector.
- the dome 6 has a side wall 10, preferably vertical and cylindrical, extending to the bottom of the nozzle 5. This side wall makes it possible to isolate a so-called interior part 11 of the conduit 5 from another so-called exterior part 12 from the same duct 5.
- FIG. 2 very schematically shows in plan an embodiment of a distributor dome 6 comprising four passages for the molten metal, communicating two by two.
- the four passages are each associated with an opening in the dome 6.
- Two openings 13 are delimited by cutting the dome between the latter and the inner wall of the nozzle 5.
- the other two openings 14 are for example made more centrally at the surface of the dome 6, and communicate under this surface by a common collection pipe 11, itself opening downstream of the nozzle.
- the dome 6 makes it possible to separate the metal jet A coming from the distributor basket 2 through the conduit 3 into two separate jets, of substantially equal importance, physically separated from each other: a first metal jet B which flows in the center 11 of the nozzle 5 and a second jet of metal C which flows in the space 12, possibly along the inner side wall of the conduit 5 ( Figure 1).
- the injection device 7 makes it possible to introduce into the metal jet B an additional constituent such as alloy metal, gas or ceramic and thus to modify its composition with respect to the base metal.
- the metal B flows from the nozzle 5 into the central part of the ingot mold 1, through the opening 9.
- the metal C flows from the nozzle 5 through the side vents 8. As it solidifies, the metal C will find distributed across the walls of the ingot mold whereas metal B, of modified chemical composition, will be found rather at heart in the solidified mass. '
- the material injected by the device 7 under the dome 6 can be in the gas, liquid or solid phase. In the latter case, the material is in the form of powder or finely divided particles.
- the size of the particles injected is less than 2 mm, and most often between 100 and 300 ⁇ m.
- the process according to the invention can be used both in the continuous casting of flat products, such as slabs, and in that of long products, such as rounds, squares, wires, etc.
- the variation in chemical composition obtained on the section of the product can be preserved during direct rolling.
- Such steels are therefore perfectly suitable for galvanizing, for example by the fact that the outer layer is of modified composition relative to the core of the product and promotes easy attachment of the zinc coating layer, in particular by reducing in silicon concentration skin.
- the steel may for example contain copper (CORTEN steel), continuously, in order to avoid problems of surface corrosion. This avoids the use of stainless steel, which is very expensive.
- the steel flow rates in the ingot mold meet standard industrial standards in the steel industry.
- the flow rate is between 1.5 and 6 tonnes / min and for long products, between 0.3 and 0.5 tonnes / min.
