Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for starting a casting process in a two-roll casting device without using a start-up strand and a device for carrying out this method.
  • essentially chilled molds with a continuous mold cavity are used, in which the molten metal introduced on the inlet side solidifies, at least in the contact area with the mold cavity walls.
  • a substantially solidified metal strand is pulled out of the mold.
  • an initial filling of the mold cavity with molten metal is to be carried out, with a completely rigid starting piece having to be achieved in particular with a predominantly vertical alignment of the mold cavity, so that the molten metal does not flow uncontrollably through the mold and exit from it.
  • the casting thickness of the metal strand to be produced, the solidification conditions and the amount of heat that can be dissipated through the mold cavity walls during the short residence time are of particular importance.
  • a start-up line is usually introduced into the mold before the start of casting, which largely but not necessarily completely closes the exit cross section of the mold cavity and only after a firm connection of the introduced melt has been formed with the start-up strand head and a pronounced strand shell of sufficient thickness along the mold cavity walls with a pair of drive rollers from the mold.
  • This start-up procedure requires at least one new start-up head to be coupled to the start-up line each time the casting system is restarted.
  • Such a start-up strand as is used in strip steel casting molds formed by broad side walls and narrow side walls, is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 4,719,960.
  • a start-up strand for the special application in a two-roll casting installation is described in EP-A 208642.
  • This start-up line contains a start-up head with two flanges formed by thin sheet metal strips, which abut the lateral surfaces of the casting rolls and thus form a space for receiving the incoming molten metal.
  • the starting strand and the cast strip are conveyed out of the casting gap formed by the casting rolls.
  • a start-up strand is not absolutely necessary, since the open casting gap is bridged within a very short time due to the rapid solidification of the molten metal on the mold walls. Starting procedures in which no starting line is required are also known several times.
  • a starting method is known from JP-A 61-266 159, in which the two co-operating casting rolls are brought into a starting position before the start of casting, in which there is no casting gap and the casting rolls stand still. Immediately after the melt feed begins and a first strand shell is formed on the two lateral surfaces of the casting rolls, they are moved apart onto the operating casting gap (strip thickness) and the casting speed is brought up to the operating casting speed along a ramp-up curve.
  • a starting process with stationary casting rolls is, however, very unreliable because the actual casting level in the melt chamber cannot be measured with the necessary accuracy up to the narrowest cross section between the casting rolls. Neither an increase in force between the two casting rolls nor the degree of filling of the mold can therefore be regulated reasonably.
  • a different degree of solidification of the melt along the bandwidth and especially in the vicinity of the side plate can cause substantial wedge formation due to solidified metal above the narrowest cross section and subsequently lead to side plate damage. Furthermore, with such a starting method with upright casting rolls, there is an increased risk of section shell adhesives on the lateral surface of the casting rolls.
  • a casting process for a two-roll casting device in which the casting gap between the two casting rolls is set to a value which is reduced compared to the operating casting gap before the melt is supplied.
  • the melt is supplied with rotating casting rolls, the Casting speed is set so that the thickness of the strip produced is greater than the previously set casting gap.
  • the tendency to drip through molten metal is reduced by a reduced casting gap.
  • the disadvantages described above with regard to JP-A 61-266 159 increasingly occur in the case of small casting gaps, in particular the tendency to damage side plates.
  • EP-A 867 244 describes a control with which, in the starting phase of the casting process, the successive time periods of the casting rolls are first regulated as a function of a bath height measurement in the melt pool between the casting rolls and then the molten metal supply as a function of a roll speed measurement.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art described at the outset and to propose a method for starting a casting process in a two-roll casting device and a device for carrying out the method, the passage of molten metal through the casting gap being kept low can and at the same time the tendency to wedge formation and thickening at the beginning of the cast strip is avoided as far as possible.
  • a separation of a first piece of the cast strip which does not meet the quality requirements of a continuous production, from the strip subsequently produced under largely stationary operating conditions, is to be achieved without the need for mechanical separation devices.
  • the casting speed is always determined by the casting roll circumferential speed, since the strand shells formed and adhering to the casting roll shells are transported at this speed through the narrowest cross section between the casting rolls and are connected to one another.
  • the starting casting speed is a low casting speed, at which, due to the longer dwell time of the strand shells that form in the melt chamber, an increased strand shell growth occurs and the casting gap which is open at the bottom can therefore be bridged particularly quickly.
  • the band formation casting speed is a casting speed which is dependent in particular on the current liquid metal casting level and also on the solidification conditions and the casting roll separation force required by the steel analysis, at which band formation and the removal of the formed strip takes place downwards and at which the band forming conditions remain largely unchanged can be.
  • the continuous filling of the melt space with molten metal takes place to the level of the operating casting level, the band forming casting speed increasing continuously with increasing casting level.
  • a reduced starting casting speed means that a low strip throughput is achieved until the target operating casting level is completely reached, and thus the proportion of rejects is kept low .
  • the operational casting thickness which is not reduced in the start-up phase, leads to fewer disturbances, which, as a result of solidification on the narrow side walls, lead to widening of the casting gap when passing through the casting cross section and possibly uncontrolled tearing of the cast strand.
  • the starting casting speed is chosen to be less than half the operating casting speed, the casting rolls usually rotating.
  • the start phase can also be initiated with upright casting rolls, so that the starting casting speed is still 0 m / min at the start of the supply of molten metal and the casting rolls are then accelerated quickly.
  • Particularly favorable conditions for the rapid bridging of the casting gap due to solidified metal melt in the starting phase result when the starting casting speed is less than 12 m / min.
  • a start casting speed in this range enables a good timing between the melt feed until the operating casting level is reached and the starting casting speed is increased to a band forming casting speed which corresponds approximately to the operating casting speed. This is achieved by a moderate, steady increase in the casting roll peripheral speed to a banding casting speed that matches a measurable target casting level, in order to ensure reliable banding (strand shell formation on the casting roll surfaces in the melt pool).
  • the band formation casting speed is set or regulated in accordance with a measurable target casting level.
  • the band formation casting speed is regulated as a function of the separating force occurring between the casting rolls.
  • the separating force between the two casting rolls is a measure of the strand shell thickness and the current state of solidification in the narrowest cross section between the casting rolls. It is higher the further the solidification process has progressed in this area.
  • the metal bath level which predominantly rises in the start-up phase and which has a significant influence on the formation of strand shells, is also taken into account here.
  • the measured values of a bath level measurement and a separation force measurement in combination can also be used to regulate the banding casting speed.
  • the strip separation casting speed is to be understood as the casting speed at which the first part of the cast metal strip, which was produced under transient casting conditions in the starting phase of the casting process and is therefore to be regarded as scrap material, is separated from the continuously following metal strip produced under largely stationary casting conditions. According to a possible embodiment, this separation takes place exclusively under the influence of the dead weight of the starting piece of the cast metal strip, which leaves the narrowest cross section between the casting rolls and hangs down by tearing it off in the casting gap.
  • the solidification conditions and thus the mechanical properties of the cast strip in the casting cross section are changed so that the strip breaks off in this cross section without additional mechanical measures.
  • the cast metal strip can be separated at the strip separation casting speed under the influence of a strip tension which is increased compared to the force of gravity and is applied by a driver arrangement which is arranged on the outlet side below the casting gap of the two-roll casting device.
  • a strip tension which is increased compared to the force of gravity and is applied by a driver arrangement which is arranged on the outlet side below the casting gap of the two-roll casting device.
  • the belt separation casting speed is higher than the operating casting speed, preferably it is 5% to 40% higher than the operating casting speed.
  • This strip separation casting speed is set briefly as soon as almost stationary casting conditions are reached. It is preferred that a constant strip quality is already ensured.
  • the strip separating casting speed is expediently set in the starting phase when the molten metal in the melt chamber has essentially reached the desired operating casting level.
  • the casting speed is increased to approximately the operating casting speed in the melt chamber before the desired operating casting level is reached.
  • the proposed method enables the stationary casting operation to be achieved within 5 to 60 seconds after the start of the supply of molten metal into the melt chamber.
  • a starting casting thickness that is larger than the operating casting thickness is set, and this starting casting thickness is reduced to the operating casting thickness at the earliest after forming a cast metal strip with a constant cross-sectional format.
  • This method is preferably used for casting thicknesses below 2.5 mm, since the difficulties described at the outset with side plate solidifications and wedge formation and subsequent uncontrolled band breaks can occur especially in this thickness range and the band following the band separation thus has a better inherent rigidity for guiding through the system.
  • Mathematical models for the starting process are generated for the casting speed, for the position of a strip guiding device and for the transport speed of the cast metal strip in a strip transport device and are transmitted to the drive units of these devices.
  • the separation conditions for the separation of the first piece of the cast metal strip in the casting cross-section are improved if, based on current input data, such as steel quality, operating casting thickness, temperature conditions, quality-related solidification conditions, etc., an additional manipulated variable for the spacing positioning of the two casting rolls to one another, in particular an increased starting casting thickness, is generated.
  • the quality of the metal strip produced can generally and continuously be optimized during the casting process and adapted to changing operating conditions if the mathematical model comprises a metallurgical model for forming a certain structure in the cast metal strip and / or for influencing the geometry of the cast metal strip.
  • a two-roll casting device for carrying out the described method for starting a casting process without a starting strand consists of two casting rolls which are coupled with rotary drives and rotate in opposite directions and side plates which bear against the casting rolls and which together form a melt space for receiving the metal melt, as well as at least one displaceable strip guide device and at least one strip transport device. It is characterized by
  • a speed measuring device for determining the instantaneous casting speed is assigned to the casting rolls
  • a level measuring device for determining the instantaneous level of the metal melt is assigned to the melt chamber
  • the speed measuring device and the level measuring device by Signal lines are connected to an arithmetic unit and - the arithmetic unit is connected by signal lines to the rotary drive of the casting rolls, to a position adjusting device of the strip guiding device and to the drive of a strip transport device.
  • the two casting rolls can also be coupled to a common rotary drive with the interposition of a transfer case.
  • a two-roll casting device equipped in this way enables current production data from the steel production process to be taken over and processed together with measurement data on the casting device in a computing model to optimize the starting process.
  • An appropriate course of the method according to the invention is also possible if, instead of continuously measuring the level of the casting level in the melt chamber with a level measuring device, alternatively a separating force measuring device for determining the instantaneous separating force between the two casting rolls, which is essentially caused by the banding, or a position measuring device for determining the current gap width between the casting rolls or a measuring device is used to determine the current strip thickness.
  • Each of these measurements provides reference data that, at least indirectly, establish a mathematically describable connection with the strand shell formation in the melt pool and thus with the metal strand formation in the narrowest cross-section between the casting rolls and which can therefore be used in a mathematical model to calculate manipulated variables in order to minimize or minimize the starting process to optimize the shape and manageability of the tear-off edge.
  • a further improvement of the starting method can be achieved by combining at least two of these measurement methods, the measurements being carried out simultaneously and processed in a correspondingly expanded mathematical model.
  • a further optimization of the method results if at least one of the two casting rolls is coupled to a casting roll adjusting device and the computing unit is additionally connected to a casting roll adjusting device by means of a signal line for setting a starting casting thickness.
