Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Entzundern von Bändern in einer Walzstraße mit einem Zunderwäscher sowie einer in Laufrichtung des Bandes hinter dem Zunderwäscher angeordneten Fertigstraße, bei dem das Band in dem Zunderwäscher sowie innerhalb der Walzstraße auf der Ober- und Unterseite mit Wasser unter Druck beaufschlagt wird, wobei eine symmetrische Temperaturverteilung an der Ober- und Unterseite des Bandes im Zunderwäscher erzeugt und in gleicher Weise Innerhalb der Fertigstrasse aufrechtgehalten wird.The invention relates to a method for descaling strips in a rolling mill with a scale washer and one in the direction of the belt behind the tinder washer arranged finishing line, where the belt in the tinder washer as well as within the rolling mill on the top and bottom with Water is pressurized, with a symmetrical temperature distribution generated on the top and bottom of the belt in the scale washer and in same way is maintained within the finishing train.
Beim Betrieb von Warmbandwalzstraßen werden Sekundärzundereinwalzungen an der Bandoberfläche beobachtet. Als Zunder bezeichnet man eine Oxydschicht, die sich u.a. beim Walzen von Stahl auf dem Band bildet. Das Zunderwachstum hängt im wesentlichen von der Oberflächentemperatur des Bandes, der Verzunderungszeit, den Umgebungsbedingungen sowie dem Material des Bandes ab. Eine höhere Oberflächentemperatur, eine längere Verzunderungszeit sowie weichere Stähle bringen ein stärkeres Zunderwachstum mit sich.When operating hot strip rolling mills, secondary scales are rolled in observed on the surface of the tape. Tinder is an oxide layer which among other things when rolling steel on the strip. The scale growth depends essentially on the surface temperature of the strip, the scaling time, the environmental conditions and the material of the tape. A higher surface temperature, longer scaling time and softer Steels lead to stronger scale growth.
Um den Verschleiß von Arbeitswalzen der Gerüste einer Fertigstraße infolge von
Zunderwachsturn zu vermeiden, wird in der US 5,235,840 vorgeschlagen, Zwischengerüstkühlungen
zwischen einzelnen Gerüsten der Fertigstraße anzuordnen,
die mittels einer Steuerung die Oberflächentemperatur des Bandes in einem
definierten Bereich halten. Der in Laufrichtung des Bandes vor der Fertigstraße
angeordnete Zunderwäscher besteht aus jeweils zwei auf beiden Seiten des Bandes
gegenüberliegend angeordneten Sprühköpfen.
In der JP - A - 1 - 205 810 wird vorgeschlagen, die Temperaturdifferenz der
Ober- und der Unterseite eines Bandes im Zunderwäscher in einem Bereich zwischen
0 ° C und 50 °C zu halten. In order to avoid the wear of work rolls of the stands of a finishing train due to scale growth, it is proposed in US Pat. No. 5,235,840 to arrange intermediate stand cooling between individual stands of the finishing train, which use a control to keep the surface temperature of the strip in a defined range. The scale washer arranged in the running direction of the belt in front of the finishing train consists of two spray heads arranged opposite each other on both sides of the belt.
JP - A - 1 - 205 810 proposes to keep the temperature difference between the top and bottom of a strip in the scale washer in a range between 0 ° C and 50 ° C.
Um beim Fertigwalzen in einer Warmbandwalzstraße das Zunderwachstum zu reduzieren, schlägt die EP 0 920 929 A2 vor, in Laufrichtung des Bandes vor dem ersten, zweiten und dritten Gerüst der Fertigstraße Oberflächenkühler vorzusehen, die jeweils zu beiden Seiten des Bandes gegenüberliegend angeordnete Düsenreihen aufweisen. Eine Steuerung bestimmt die Gesamtwassermenge, die von jeder Düsenreihe auf das Band aufgesprüht wird. Der in Laufrichtung des Bandes vor der Fertigstraße angeordnete Zunderwäscher besteht aus zwei auf beiden Seiten des Bandes gegenüberliegend angeordneten Düsenreihen.In order to increase scale growth during finish rolling in a hot strip mill reduce, EP 0 920 929 A2 proposes, in the running direction of the belt in front of the to provide first, second and third stands of the finishing mill surface cooler, the rows of nozzles arranged opposite each other on both sides of the belt exhibit. A controller determines the total amount of water by every row of nozzles is sprayed onto the belt. The in the direction of the belt The scale washer arranged in front of the finishing train consists of two on both Rows of nozzles arranged opposite each other on the belt.
In den Zunderwäschem vor der Fertigstraße wird dem Band mit hohem Entzunderungsdruck (etwa 200 bar) Wasser zugeführt. Durch die beidseitige Beaufschlagung mit Wasser wird dem Band Wärmeenergie entzogen. Infolge verschiedener Bedingungen an Ober- und Unterseite ergeben sich dort ungleiche Temperaturen. Aufgrund der eingangs beschriebenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten zum Zunderwachstum beginnt das Zunderwachstum unmittelbar in Laufrichtung hinter dem Düsenbalken erneut, wobei aufgrund der unterschiedlichenTemperaturen an den Randoberflächen der Sekundärzunder unterschiedlich schnell nachwächst. Außerdem bildet sich aufgrund der ungleichen Temperaturen ein verschieden harter Zunder aus.In the scale washers in front of the finishing train, the belt is subjected to high descaling pressure (about 200 bar) water. Due to the double-sided application thermal energy is extracted from the belt with water. As a result of different Conditions on the top and bottom result in uneven temperatures. Because of the laws of scale growth described at the beginning scale growth begins immediately behind the nozzle bar again, due to the different temperatures on the edge surfaces the secondary scale grows back at different speeds. Also forms a different hardness of scale due to the unequal temperatures.
In Folge Temperatur- und Zunderdifferenzen kommt es zu einem Schubwalzeneffekt, der Vibrationen in den Gerüsten der Fertigstraße anregt bzw. zu einer Skibildung am Bandkopf führen kann. Außerdem stellen sich unterschiedlich hohe Momente im Walzengerüst im Bereich der oberen und unteren Walzen ein.As a result of temperature and scale differences, there is a shear roller effect, which stimulates vibrations in the scaffolding of the finishing train or creates a ski can lead to the tape head. There are also moments of different heights in the roll stand in the area of the upper and lower rolls.
Die vorstehend genannten Probleme lassen sich durch die im Stand der Technik vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen nicht vollständig kompensieren.The above problems can be solved by the prior art do not fully compensate for the proposed measures.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren vorzuschlagen, das die nachteiligen Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Temperaturen sowie unterschiedlichen Zunderwachstums zwischen der Ober- und Unterseite des Bandes innerhalb der Fertigstraße verringert.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a method, that the adverse effects of different temperatures as well as different Scale growth between the top and bottom of the belt reduced within the finishing train.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe beruht auf dem Gedanken, die erforderlichen Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung ungleichmäßigen Temperaturen sowie Zunderwachstums bereits im Bereich des Zunderwäschers zu ergreifen, indem das Band im Zunderwäscher an mehreren in Laufrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Stellen mit Wasser unter Entzunderungsdruck beaufschlagt wird, wobei sich die in Laufrichtung letzte Stelle an der Unterseite in einem Abstand zu der letzten Stelle an der Oberseite und näher an der Fertigstraße befindet.The solution to this task is based on the idea of the necessary measures to avoid uneven temperatures and scale growth already in the area of the scale washer to seize by the tape in the scale washer on several arranged one behind the other in the running direction Places with water under descaling pressure, the in Direction of travel last position on the underside at a distance from the last position located at the top and closer to the finishing train.
Die Beaufschlagung mit Wasser an den verschiedenen Stellen des Bandes erfolgt beispielsweise mittels an sich bekannter Düsenreihen. Der zu wählende Abstand der letzten Düsenreihe an der Unterseite von der letzten Düsenreihe an der Oberseite hängt von dem Unterschied der Kühlwirkung an der Ober- und Unterseite und von dem Zunderwachstums des gewalzten Materials in der jeweiligen Walzstraße ab.Water is applied at the various points on the belt for example by means of rows of nozzles known per se. The distance to choose the last row of nozzles at the bottom from the last row of nozzles at the top depends on the difference in cooling effect on the top and bottom and the scale growth of the rolled material in the respective rolling mill from.
Um den Abstand zwischen der letzten Düsenreihe an der Unterseite und der Oberseite kürzer als durch den Temperaturunterschied gerechtfertigt halten zu können, kann die Unterseite in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung insgesamt mit einer größeren Wassermenge unter Entzunderungsdruck als die Oberseite des Bandes beaufschlagt werden. Ein geringerer Abstand zwischen den beiden letzten Düsenreihen kann aufgrund konstruktiver Zwänge an der Walzstraße erforderlich sein. Er empfiehlt sich jedoch auch, um eine insgesamt zu große Dicke der Zunderschicht an der Oberseite des Bandes zu vermeiden.To the distance between the last row of nozzles on the bottom and the Keep the top shorter than justified by the temperature difference can, the underside in one embodiment of the invention as a whole a larger amount of water under descaling pressure than the top of the Band are applied. A smaller distance between the last two Row of nozzles may be necessary due to design constraints on the rolling mill his. However, it is also recommended to make the scale layer too thick overall to avoid at the top of the tape.
In Versuchen hat sich herausgestellt, daß die Wassermenge an der Unterseite etwa 60 % - 80 %, insbesondere 70 % der Gesamtwassermenge betragen sollte, die mittels der Düsenreihen an der Unter- und Oberseite auf das Band im Zunderwäscher aufgebracht wird.Experiments have shown that the amount of water at the bottom about 60% - 80%, in particular 70% of the total amount of water that should be applied to the belt in the Scale washer is applied.
Um die mit einer größeren Wassermenge unter Entzunderungsdruck verbundenen
Energiekosten zu reduzieren, wird in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung
alternativ eine zusätzliche Kühlung an der Unterseite des Bandes mit Wasser
unter niedrigerem Druck im Bereich zwischen 4 bar und 10 bar vorgeschlagen.
Selbstverständlich liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, dieser Maßnahmen auch
ergänzend zu denen nach Anspruch 3 vorzusehen.To those associated with a larger amount of water under descaling pressure
Reducing energy costs is in one embodiment of the invention
alternatively, additional cooling on the underside of the belt with water
proposed under lower pressure in the range between 4 bar and 10 bar.
It goes without saying that these measures are also within the scope of the invention
to provide in addition to those according to
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erfolgt die Beaufschlagung mit Wasser unter niedrigerem Druck in Laufrichtung des Bandes mittels Düsenreihen vor und/oder hinter der letzten Stelle an der Unterseite des Bandes, an der dieses mit Wasser unter Entzunderungsdruck beaufschlagt wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the application takes place with Water at a lower pressure in the direction of travel of the belt using rows of nozzles before and / or after the last position on the underside of the tape, at the this is pressurized with water under descaling pressure.
Die für eine symmetrische Temperaturverteilung erforderliche Wassermenge hängt von der Einzugsgeschwindigkeit vor der Fertigstraße, dem Verschleiß der Entzunderungsdüsen in den Düsenreihen, von dem Druckniveau sowie der Breite des Bandes ab. Um sich den wechselnden Randbedingungen an der Walzstraße anpassen zu können, ist die Menge des unter Entzunderungsdruck und niedrigem Druck auf das Band aufgebrachten Wassers vorzugsweise einstellbar.The amount of water required for a symmetrical temperature distribution depends on the feed speed before the finishing train, the wear of the Descaling nozzles in the nozzle rows, from the pressure level and the Width of the tape. In order to adapt to the changing boundary conditions at the Being able to adjust the rolling mill is the amount of descaling pressure and low pressure on the tape applied water preferably adjustable.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die symmetrische Temperaturverteilung an der Ober- und Unterseite des Bandes überwacht, indem berührungslos, insbesondere mit in Laufrichtung des Bandes hinter dem Zunderwäscher angeordneten Pyrometern, die Temperaturen an der Ober- und Unterseite des Bandes gemessen werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the symmetrical temperature distribution monitored on the top and bottom of the belt by non-contact, especially behind the scale washer in the direction of the belt arranged pyrometers, the temperatures on the top and bottom of the tape can be measured.
Insbesondere die Menge des Wassers unter niedrigerem Druck kann dann als Stellgröße eines Regelkreises so verändert werden, daß auf der Ober- und Unterseite stets gleiche Temperaturen gemessen werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu den Temperaturen können als Regelgröße die Walzmomente an mindestens einem Gerüst der Fertigstraße oberhalb und unterhalb des Bandes gemessen werden.In particular, the amount of water under lower pressure can then be as The manipulated variable of a control loop can be changed so that on the upper and Same temperatures are always measured on the underside. Alternatively or additionally The rolling torques can be used as a control variable for the temperatures at least one scaffold of the finishing train above and below the belt be measured.
Zur Unterstützung der Wirkung der am Zunderwäscher getroffenen Maßnahmen ist in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß das Band zumindest zwischen den ersten beiden Gerüsten der Fertigstraße mit Wasser beaufschlagt wird, wobei die Unterseite insgesamt mit einer größeren Wassermenge als die Oberseite des Bandes beaufschlagt wird. Auch die Anordnung der oberen und unteren Balken kann mit dem Abstand y versetzt zueinander erfolgen.To support the effect of the measures taken on the scale washer is provided in one embodiment of the invention that the tape at least between the first two scaffolds of the finishing train with water is, the bottom with a larger amount of water than the top of the band is applied. Even the arrangement the upper and lower bars can be offset from each other by the distance y respectively.
Auch die innerhalb der Fertigstraße getroffenen Maßnahmen können mit Hilfe eines Regelkreises überwacht werden, mit den gemessenen Temperaturen an der Bandober- und -unterseite als Regelgröße und der zugeführten Wassermenge als Steligröße.The measures taken within the finishing train can also be used with the help of a control loop can be monitored with the measured temperatures the top and bottom of the belt as a controlled variable and the amount of water supplied as stele size.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Fertigstraße 1 mit einem in Laufrichtung 2 davor angeordnetem
Zunderwäscher 3 in einer Warmbandwalzstraße. Das die Warmbandwalzstraße
durchlaufende Band 4 wird in dem Zunderwäscher 3 auf der Oberseite 5
und der Unterseite 6 von insgesamt vier Düsenreihen 7, 8 mit Wasser unter
Entzunderungsdruck von etwa 200 bar beaufschlagt. Die an der Unterseite 6 in
Laufrichtung 2 letzte Düsenreihe 8 befindet sich näher an der Fertigstraße 1 als
die in Laufrichtung letzte Düsenreihe 7 an der Oberseite 5, um eine symmetrische
Temperaturverteilung an der Ober- und Unterseite 5, 6 des Bandes 4 zu
erzielen. Diese Maßnahme wird durch zwei weitere Düsenreihen 9 in Laufrichtung
vor und hinter der letzten Düsenreihe 8 unterstützt, wobei die Düsenreihen
9 die Unterseite des Bandes mit Wasser unter Niederdruck von etwa 4 - 10 bar
beaufschlagen. Die mittels der Düsenreihen 9 auf die Unterseite 6 aufgebrachte
Wassermenge ist einstellbar.FIG. 1 shows a finishing train 1 with one arranged upstream in the direction of
Der Abstand 11 zwischen der letzten Düsenreihe 7 an der Oberseite und der
letzten Düsenreihe 8 an der Unterseite des Bandes ist grundsätzlich so zu bestimmen,
daß der Kühleffekt des auf der Oberseite 5 des Bandes der Unterseite
6 entspricht. Der Abstand 11 kann jedoch aus konstruktiven Gründen, beispielsweise
dem Platzbedarf des Zunderwäschers, der Anordnung von Rollen
oder Rohrleitungen begrenzt sein. Aus diesem Grund wird die Kühlung der
Unterseite 6 des Bandes durch die Düsenreihen 9 mit Niederdruck unterstützt.
Schließlich wäre ein zu großer Abstand 11 nachteilig, da sich aufgrund des längeren
Weges von der letzten Düsenreihe 7 an der Oberseite 5 bis zum Einlauf
in die Fertigstraße 1 wieder eine insgesamt dickere Zunderschicht an der Oberseite
ausbilden kann.The
Die Wirksamkeit der Kühlung infolge der Entzunderung mittels den Düsenreihen 7, 8 sowie der Zusatzkühlung durch die Düsenreihen 9 wird durch an der Ober-und Unterseite 5, 6 angeordnete Pyrometer 12 vor dem Einlauf in ein erstes Gerüst F1 der Fertigstraße bzw. durch die Pyrometer innerhalb der Fertigstraße 12' überwacht. Schließlich werden an den ersten drei Gerüsten F1 - F3 der Fertigstraße 1 die an den oberen und unteren Spindeln 13 der Arbeitswalzen auftretenden Momente gemessen. Die von den Pyrometern 12 bzw. 12' gemessenen Temperaturen To, Tu sowie die an den Arbeitswalzen gemessenen Momente Mw1u-3u, MW10-3o fließen als Regelgröße in einen rechnergestützten Regelkreis ein, der als Stellgröße die über die Düsenreihen 9 aufgebrachte Wassermenge VZ bzw. die innerhalb der Straße eingesetzte Wassermengen Voi, Vui, und Voj, Vuj der Düsenreihen 17, 17' und 18, 18' beeinflußt, um die angestrebte symmetrische Temperaturverteilung an Ober- und Unterseite 5, 6 des Bandes aufrechtzuerhalten bzw. die Momentenverteilung zu beeinflussen. Die Düsenreihen 17, 17' bzw. 18, 18' können in dem Abstand 10 versetzt angeordnet sein. Zur Adaption des Rechners 14 an die jeweiligen Produktionsbedingungen, werden die Anlagedaten 15 und die Prozeßdaten 16 eingelesen. Folgende Adaptionsdaten sind zur Bestimmung der notwendigen Wassermenge für die Zusatzkühlung über die Düsenreihen 9 bzw. für die Vertrimmung der Wassermengen Voi, Vui, und Voj, Vuj der Düsenreihen 17, 17' und 18, 18' innerhalb der Fertigstraße erforderlich:
- Die Einzugsgeschwindigkeit des Bandes vor der Fertigstraße 1 ändert sich abhängig von der Fertigbanddicke und dem Bandmaterial
- die Düsen in den
7, 8 unterliegen einem Verschleiß, so daß sich die Wassermenge im Laufe der Zeit ändertDüsenreihen - das Druckniveau im Versorgungsnetz der
Düsenreihen 7 schwankt, - unterschiedliche Breiten des
Bandes 4 beeinflussen das Ablaufen des auf der Oberseite 5 desBandes 4 stehenden Wassers.
- The feed speed of the strip in front of the finishing train 1 changes depending on the finished strip thickness and the strip material
- the nozzles in the
7, 8 are subject to wear, so that the amount of water changes over timenozzle rows - the pressure level in the supply network of the
nozzle rows 7 fluctuates, - different widths of the
band 4 influence the running of the water standing on thetop 5 of theband 4.
Figur 2 zeigt in schematischer Seitenansicht einen Zunderwäscher 3, allerdings
ohne Düsenreihen 9 für Niederdruckwasser. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel
wird die symmetrische Temperaturverteilung an der Ober- und Unterseite 5, 6
