Definitions
- the present invention relates to a twin roll caster comprising a nozzle with two opposite ends, rolls and side weirs, wherein each of the nozzle ends is provided with an extension which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool and extends towards the respective side weir.
- twin roll casters are known from DE 3 809 416 A1 , WO 99/14005 and US 4,883,113 .
- Fig. 1 shows an example of a known twin roll caster with a pair of chilled rolls 1 arranged horizontally and in parallel with each other and a pair of side weirs 2 associated with the chilled rolls 1.
- the rolls 1 through which cooling water flows interiorly are adapted to increase or decrease a nip or gap G between the rolls depending upon thickness of a strip 3 to be produced.
- Rotational directions and velocities of the rolls 1 are set such that respective outer peripheries of the rolls are moved from above toward the nip G at constant velocity.
- One and the other of the side weirs 2 are urged to surface-contact one and the other ends of the rolls 1, respectively.
- a molten metal feed nozzle made of refractory is positioned just above the nip G between the rolls.
- the feed nozzle has an elongated nozzle trough 5 which in turn has a top opened for reception of molten metal 4 and longitudinal side walls formed at their lower ends with a plurality of openings 6 for passage from the trough 5 to the outer peripheries of the rolls 1, the openings being spaced apart from each other axially of the rolls 1.
- a molten metal pool 7 is formed above the nip G between the rolls and in contact with the outer peripheries of the rolls 1.
- the molten metal pool 7 is formed and the rolls 1 chilled by passage of the cooling water are rotated, the molten metal 4 is solidified on the outer peripheries of the rolls 1 and the strip 3 is delivered downwardly from the nip G between the rolls.
- Molten metal feed nozzles incorporated in twin roll casters may be divided into those with ends of the nozzle which surface-contact the side weirs 2 (see, for example, Reference 1) and those with ends of the nozzle which are spaced apart from and in parallel with the side weirs 2 (see, for example, Reference 2).
- the molten metal feed nozzle remains unchanged in its longitudinal size.
- leakage of the molten metal 4 becomes unsuppressed by merely increasing the force for urging the side weirs 2 to the rolls 1.
- flow velocity distribution at free liquid surface of the molten metal 4 tends to be low at between two parallel surfaces facing to each other, i.e., a surface 9 of the side weir on the molten metal pool and an end wall surface 10 of the molten metal nozzle, in comparison with at between a longitudinal side wall surface 8 of the molten metal nozzle and the chilled roll 1.
- an area A where the molten metal 4 tends to stagnate is formed especially from the end wall surface 10 to a point P0 which is an intersection of nip center line L with the surface 9 of the side weir.
- the strip 3 When such unwanted solidification shell is pinched as foreign matter by the solidification shells generated on the outer peripheries of the chilled rolls 1 upon rotation of the rolls, the strip 3 may be locally thickened into defective shape and/or the nip G between the rolls may be enlarged depending upon part of the strip 3 where the foreign matter is pinched, resulting in break of the strip 3 due to reduction in cooling efficiency and heat recuperation from the molten metal 4.
- the invention was made in view of the above and has its object to provide a molten metal feed nozzle which can avert break of a strip.
- the invention is directed to a twin roll caster comprising a nozzle with two opposite ends, rolls and side weirs, wherein each of the nozzle ends is provided with an extension which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool and extends towards the respective side weir, characterised in that the respective extension is tapering in longitudinal direction of the nozzle from the lower portion of the extension to the corresponding side weir.
- the extensions eliminate stagnation areas of the free liquid surface of the molten metal; they prevent the molten metal from being lowered in temperature due to radiation heat transmission and suppress generation of unwanted solidification shells.
- Figs. 3 to 6 show a first embodiment of a molten metal feed nozzle according to the invention in which parts identical with those in Figs. 1 and 2 are represented by the same reference numerals.
- Each of nozzle ends is provided with an extension 11 which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool 7 and extends toward a side weir 2 such that a stagnation area A (see Fig. 2 ) disappears on a free liquid surface of molten metal 4.
- the extension 11 is in the form of a quadrangular pyramid lying sidelong and is convergent to point P1 extremely close to the side weir 2.
- the stagnation area A on the free liquid surface of the molten metal 4 is displaced by the extension 11 contiguous with the nozzle end to suppress generation of an unwanted solidification shell.
- no unwanted solidification shell is pinched as foreign matter by the solidification shells generated on the outer peripheries on the chilled rolls 1 for production of the strip 3, whereby break of the strip 3 due to enlargement of the nip G between the rolls can be averted.
- the extension 11 is gradually reduced in volume toward the side weir 2, so that heat transmission from the molten metal 4 to the extension 11 is reduced.
- the molten metal 4 adjacent to the side weir 2 can be effectively prevented from being lowered in temperature and no unwanted solidification shell for the side weir 2 is generated.
- Figs. 7 and 8 shows a second embodiment of a molten metal feed nozzle according to the invention.
- parts identical with those shown in Figs. 3 to 6 are represented by the same reference numerals.
- Each of nozzle ends is provided with an extension 12 which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool 7 and extends toward a side weir 2 such that a stagnation area A (see Fig. 2 ) disappears on a free liquid surface of molten metal 4.
- the extension 12 is wedge shaped and is converged to a horizontal line segment between points P2 and P3 extremely close to the side weir 2.
- the stagnation area A on the free liquid surface of the molten metal 4 is displaced by the extension 12 contiguous with the nozzle end to suppress generation of unwanted solidification shell.
- no unwanted solidification shell is pinched as foreign matter by the solidification shells generated on the outer peripheries of the chilled roll 1 for production of the strip 3, whereby break of the strip 3 due to enlargement of the nip G between the rolls can be averted.
- the extension 12 is gradually reduced in volume toward the side weir 2, so that heat transmission from the molten metal 4 (see Fig. 6 ) to the extension 12 is reduced so that the molten metal 4 adjacent to the side weir 2 can be effectively prevented from being lowered in temperature and no unwanted solidification shell for the side weir 2 is generated.
- Figs. 9 and 10 show a third embodiment of a molten metal feed nozzle according to the invention.
- parts identical with those in Figs. 3 to 7 are represented by the same reference numerals.
- Each of nozzle ends is provided with an extension 13 which has a lower portion immersed in a molten metal pool 7 and extends to a side weir 2 such that a stagnation area A (see Fig. 2 ) disappears on a free liquid surface of molten metal 4.
- the extension 13 is in the form of tapered quadratic prism lying sidelong and is converged to vertical face with corners P2, P3, P4 and P5 extremely close to the side weir 2.
- Heat transmission from the molten metal 4 (see Fig. 6 ) to the extension 13 may be much in comparison with the first and second embodiments; however, the third embodiment is easier in machining upon fabrication of the molten metal feed nozzle.
- a molten metal feed nozzle of the invention is not limited to the above embodiments and that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
- a molten metal feed nozzle of the invention is applicable to production of strips of steel or other various metals.
