Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, particularly for the continuous casting of metals such as steel.
- the continuous casting operation schematically consists, as is known, in pouring a molten metal into a bottomless mold essentially consisting of a metal mold body, generally a one-piece tubular element (cast of long products) or with assembled plates ( casting of flat products) of copper or copper alloy, defining a passage for the cast metal and whose walls are vigorously cooled by circulation of water; and to extract continuously from this mold a product already solidified externally over several millimeters thick. The solidification then progresses towards the axis of the product and is completed during the descent thereof downstream of the mold in the so-called "secondary cooling" zone under the effect of watering ramps. The product obtained is then cut to length and rolled before shipment to customers or processing on site, bars, wires, profiles, plates, sheets, etc.
- An important parameter of continuous casting is the energetic cooling of the mold body walls, which is necessary to extract the amounts of heat required for the solidification of the molten metal.
- the cooling of the mold is done by circulating water along the outer face of the walls of the tubular body.
- a steel jacket is provided for channeling the circulation around the tubular body, and communicates at its lower end with an introduction chamber and at its upper end with an evacuation chamber, so that the circulation of the water from bottom to top.
- a rigid riser made of insulating refractory material is placed on the top of the tubular mold body to extend upwardly the internal passage of the metal tubular body in which the molten metal is cast. .
- the level of the free surface of the molten metal also called meniscus
- the volume of molten metal in the riser acts as a buffer, which dampens the flow turbulence that inevitably develops under the effect of the metal feed stream.
- the use of the riser therefore makes it possible to obtain a flow of relatively quiet molten metal at the level at which its solidification begins, which contributes to a good quality of the solidified product and in particular to the regularity of the formation of the first skin upon contact with the cooled copper wall.
- a recognized problem of the continuous casting under load is the difficulty of cooling well the upper part of the mold body, because the conventional cooling structure described above is not sufficiently efficient.
- a first cooling circuit includes a plurality of vertical cooling channels distributed around the passage for the metal, in which water flows from bottom to top.
- a lower distribution chamber ensures the introduction of water into the cooling channels
- an upper distribution chamber collects water from the upper end of the channels.
- the second cooling circuit comprises one or more cooling channels arranged horizontally between the upper end of the vertical cooling channels and the upper inlet face of the cooling channel. mold body.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, simple design and having a high cooling capacity, especially at its inlet end. According to the invention, this objective is achieved by an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals according to claim 1.
- the present invention relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, in particular steel, comprising a metal mold body having a passage for the cast metal extending between an inlet face and an outlet face. A plurality of cooling channels for a cooling fluid are arranged along the passage. A distribution chamber for the coolant communicates with the end of the cooling channels on the input side side.
- the cooling channels extend as far as the inlet face, and their ends communicate with the distribution chamber via respective intermediate connecting channels.
- the distribution chamber is arranged recessed with respect to the inlet face and with respect to the ends of the inlet side cooling channels.
- the most critical hot zone of the mold is thus cooled by the cooling channels, which extend to under the entrance face, in the vicinity of it to form their end.
- the distribution chamber is deported backwards and the cooling fluid is channeled between the end of each cooling channel and the distribution chamber by an intermediate connecting channel, typically oblique with respect to the direction of the cooling channel.
- Such an intermediate channel thus constitutes a return line from the inlet face to the distribution chamber, which makes it possible to better preserve high cooling fluid speeds in the critical hot part of the mold.
- the intermediate channels preferably have a section equal to or smaller than that of the cooling channels.
- the channelization of the flow in the ingot mold part close to the inlet face and the offset of the distribution chamber prevent turbulence and other boiling phenomena, which are unacceptable for a stable casting process, which may occur.
- the cooling channel opens directly into a distribution chamber of larger section.
- the configuration of the mold according to the invention therefore allows the mold body to be cooled further towards its inlet end, which makes it particularly suitable for continuous casting under load, in particular the continuous casting in vertical load of the mold. 'steel.
- a cooling circuit according to the invention can easily be realized with ingot mold bodies of various sizes and shapes.
- the present invention particularly relates to ingot molds for the continuous casting in vertical load of small sections, typically of dimensions 100x100x12 mm to 300x300x20 mm with casting speeds in the range of 5 to 10 m / min.
- another distribution chamber communicating with the end of the cooling channels is provided for side of the exit face.
- the end of each cooling channel on the exit face side is in communication with this other introduction chamber through a respective passage.
- the passage section in the cooling channels is reduced near the inlet face of the mold body. This makes it possible to increase the speed of the cooling fluid in this region of the mold body, and thus to increase the cooling capacity. Such a reduction of the passage section can be obtained by machining.
- the section reduction is preferably done by means of a section reducing device which is installed in the end of each inlet side cooling channel.
- the section reducing device is advantageously designed so as to partially close the cooling channel near its cold face (farthest from the casting space) and allow the flow of cooling fluid along the hot face ( thermally charged) of the cooling channel.
- Such a section reducing device therefore makes it possible to increase the speed of the cooling fluid in the critical part of the mold body, and to circulate the fluid in the portion of the hottest cooling channel.
- the section reduction device comprises an oblong body with three faces: a convex face whose curvature corresponds to that of the cooling channel, and two concave faces contiguous to the convex face and meeting at the level of the 'a stop. Viewed in cross section, the maximum distance between the edge and the convex face is substantially equal to the section of the cooling channel.
- the section reducing device is oriented in the channel so that its edge is turned towards the hot channel, so that the cooling fluid is forced to flow in two reduced section channels along the hot face of the cooling channel.
- the elongate body is extended at its lower end by a tapered foot, the height of which is greater than the distance between the end of the cooling channel on the outlet side and the opening of the intermediate channel. coming into this area.
- This foot avoids clogging of the intermediate channel close to the exit face, should the device fall to the bottom of the cooling channel.
- the convex face When the section reducing device is positioned in the cooling channel with its edge against the hot face, the convex face is against the cold face of the cooling channel. It is usually in this cold face that opens the intermediate channel on the side of the input face. Therefore, in each concave side face, a passage hole connecting the latter to the convex face will preferably be provided to allow the flow of the cooling fluid directly into the intermediate channel.
- the cooling channels preferably extend substantially the entire length of the passage (or casting space) in the mold body. In addition, they advantageously follow the contour of the passage, which depends on the metal product to be cast (slab, beam, or other profile).
- the passage section provided by the cooling channels is preferably identical and constant over their entire length, except, where appropriate, near the inlet face where the passage section can be reduced as indicated above.
- the mold body depends on the type of metal product to be cast.
- the mold body will generally comprise a monolithic tubular element of copper or copper alloy.
- the cooling channels are preferably drilled in the wall of this monolithic tubular element and distributed all around the passage.
- the mold body generally comprises a four-plate assembly defining a rectangular passage for the cast metal.
- the cooling channels with the intermediate channels are arranged in at least one of said plates.
- the mold will typically comprise a riser comprising a rigid refractory element thermally insulating property extending the passage of the ingot mold body above the inlet face.
- a gas preferably inert
- the present invention relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals
- a mold body having a passage for the cast metal and at least one cooling cooling channel along the passage, wherein a Section reducer device is installed in the cooling channel.
- the section reducing device closes the channel along the cold face and allows the flow of cooling fluid along the hot side of the cooling channel.
- the Fig.1 shows a schematic section of an ingot mold 10 according to the present invention, in an application to continuous casting in vertical load steel.
- the mold 10 comprises an ingot mold body 12 having an upper inlet face 14 and a lower outlet face 16, and which is provided with a passage 18 for the molten metal defining the casting space extending between the input face 14 and output face 16.
- the ingot mold body 12 is surmounted by a riser, generally indicated 20, in which the molten metal is poured from a tundish (not shown), and which makes it possible to maintain the free surface of the metal by melting at a distance from the mold body 12 where the solidification begins.
- the riser 20 takes place on the upper end of the mold body 12 and is in fact made up of two aligned tubular elements: a lower element, ring 22, compact refractory material having a good mechanical strength such as SiAION; and an upper element, sleeve 24, made of a thermally insulating refractory material.
- the mold body 12 is vigorously cooled by circulating water internally to extract the heat necessary for cooling the molten metal.
- the cooling water circulates, preferably upwardly, in a plurality of vertical cooling channels 26 (only one shown in FIG. Fig.1 ) to the periphery of the passage 18.
- the lower end of each cooling channel 26 communicates with a so-called introduction distribution chamber 28, which allows the introduction of the cooling water into the channels 26 with a suitable pressure to establish the desired speed of circulation.
- the water thus rises in the cooling channels 26 along the passage 18, and is collected after its exit from each channel 26 in another so-called evacuation distribution chamber 30 (of section substantially greater than the channels 26).
- evacuation distribution chamber 30 of section substantially greater than the channels 26.
- the cooling channels extend as far as the inlet face 14 of the mold body 12, which makes it possible to have cooling channels 26 which extend almost the entire length (height) of the passage 18, and therefore especially in the upper region of the mold body 12 towards the interface with the riser 20 where the solidification.
- the evacuation chamber 30 is set back with respect to the inlet face 14 of the ingot mold body 12 and at the upper end of the cooling channels 26. The circulation of the water from the end of the cooling channel 26 on the inlet side face 14 to the evacuation chamber 30 is made through an intermediate evacuation channel 32 (or intermediate connecting channel) which leaves the end of the channel 26 and departs from the inlet face 14 towards the rear to open into the remote evacuation chamber 30.
- the intermediate connecting channel 32 thus extends obliquely with respect to the axis of the cooling channel 26 with which it is associated.
- Such an intermediate connecting channel 32 thus constitutes a return line from the inlet face 14 towards the distribution chamber, which makes it possible to maintain high cooling fluid velocities up to the evacuation chamber 30.
- the structure of the cooling circuit in the mold 10 allows to evacuate large amounts of heat in the critical hot zone of the mold, and avoids the problems of evaporation and dead zones in this part of the mold.
- the mold body comprises, assembled to each other, a bottomless monolithic tubular element 33 made of copper or copper alloy, defining the casting space in the form of a central passage 18 for the cast metal and a mantle 39 surrounding the element 33 at a distance.
- This tubular element 33 has an upper flange 34 whose free end comes into sealing contact with the upper edge of the mantle 39 and whose upper face constitutes the inlet face 14 of the casting space 18.
- the mantle 39 has at its lower end a return flange 36 coming from its free end in sealing contact with the lower edge of the tubular body 33 and whose lower face constitutes the outlet face 16 of the casting space 18.
- 28 introduction and evacuation rooms 30 are delimited laterally by the mantle 39 and frontally by the lower flanges 36 and upper 34 respectively. They are arranged one above the other, separated by a watertight partition 37 coming from the construction of the tubular element 33 and cooperating at its end with a corresponding bearing surface 31 of the mantle 39 with the interposition of a seal toric 25.
- the hydraulic communication between the introduction chamber 28 and the cooling channels 26 is through passages 38 drilled in line with the tubular element 33 flush with the bottom of the chamber 28.
- the communication between the channels 26 and the evacuation chamber 30 is effected by means of intermediate connecting channels 32 obliquely drilled in the upper flange 34 in order to connect the upper outlet end of each cooling channel 26 to the exhaust chamber 30 at its upper end.
- intermediate connecting channels 32 are made as short as possible by piercing them, as shown in FIG. Fig.1 at the location of the connection fillet 35 between the upper flange 34 and the tubular element 33.
- the cooling channels 26 can be easily made by drilling from the lower face 16 in the wall of the tube. The channels 26 are then closed on the outlet side by plugs 40. Similarly, the intermediate discharge channels 32 may be made by drilling the upper flange 34. Drilling is still the preferred solution for the intermediate inlet channel 38 .
- the Fig.2 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the tubular element of ingot mold 33 of the Fig.1 ; the same reference signs are used.
- the passage 18 of the ingot mold body 33 has a shape (section) adapted to the casting of beams.
- the cooling channels 26 are uniformly distributed all around the passage 18 and follow the shape. In the present variant, they have an identical and constant section over their entire length. As can be seen, the cooling channels extend as far as the upper face 14 of the flange 34, and the evacuation channels 32 extend from the upper end of the channels 26 through the flange 34 to open into the top of the discharge chamber 30.
- the section of the intermediate channels 32 is preferably not greater than the maximum passage section of the cooling channels 26.
- the drilling embodiment allows an easy arrangement of the vertical cooling channels 26 at the periphery of the passage 18.
- the structure of the cooling circuit in the present mold 10 is particularly well suited for mold bodies of reduced size and complex shapes, such as for the manufacture of small sections.
- the use of a plurality of channels of relatively smaller cross-section, uniformly distributed makes it possible to better distribute the heat extraction, and thus to obtain a better homogeneity of cooling on the perimeter.
- the vertical cooling channels have for example a diameter between 7 and 10 mm, and their upper end is located unless 8 mm of the input face 14 (upper surface of the flange 34), preferably between 4 and 6 mm.
- the distance between the hot face of the channels 26 and the inner face of the passage 18 may be between 5 and 10 mm.
- a reduction device of section 50 arranged in the upper end of each cooling channel 26.
- a device 50 makes it possible to locally reduce the passage section in the cooling channel 26, thus increasing the speed of circulation of cooling water.
- this device 50 is designed to promote the passage of the cooling water near the ingot mold passage, and more precisely along the hot face (heat-laden) of the cooling channel 26.
- Such a reduction device of section 50 is shown in more detail on the Figs.3 and 4 . It comprises an oblong body 52, preferably massive, with three lateral faces 54, 56 and 58.
- a convex face 54 has a curvature corresponding to that of the cooling channel 26.
- the other two faces 56 and 58 are concave, substantially of same dimensions, and leave the convex face 54 to meet at an edge 60.
- the maximum distance between the edge 60 and the convex face 54 corresponds essentially to the diameter of the cooling channel 26.
- the dimensions of the body 52 are chosen to allow attachment in the channel 26 by interference fit.
- the devices 50 are installed in the channels 26 before the plugs 40 are put in place.
- the device 50 is positioned in the cooling channel 26 with the edge 60 facing the ingot mold passage 18.
- the convex face 54 rests on the cold face of the cooling channel 26 (furthest from the mold passage ) and prevents the flow of water along it.
- the lateral faces 56 and 58 define with the hot face of the cooling channel (close to the ingot mold passage and thus thermally charged) two cooling channels 62 and 62 'of restricted section, which force the circulation of the water on along the hot face of channel 26.
- a through-hole 64 is provided between each of the concave faces 56, 58 and the convex face 54. These passage holes 64 are therefore advantageously positioned to open directly into the intermediate evacuation channel 32 when the needle is installed in the channel cooling 26.
- the body 52 is advantageously extended in its lower part by a tapered foot 66, whose length is greater than the distance between the bottom of the cooling channel 26 (outlet side) and the opening of the introduction channel 38.
- the foot 66 keeps the body 52 of the device 50 above the opening of the introduction channel 38 and prevents clogging.
- the reduction of section can also be obtained by playing on the machining of the cooling channels 26.
- the use of reducing devices of section 50 has the advantage of being flexible in use because modifications cooling conditions are possible without modifying the machining of the ingot mold tube 33.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne généralement une lingotière pour la coulée continue des métaux, en particulier pour la coulée continue en charge des métaux tels que l'acier.The present invention generally relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, particularly for the continuous casting of metals such as steel.
L'opération de coulée continue consiste schématiquement comme on le sait, à verser un métal en fusion dans une lingotière sans fond essentiellement constituée d'un corps de lingotière métallique, généralement un élément tubulaire monobloc (coulée de produits longs) ou à plaques assemblées (coulée de produits plats) en cuivre ou alliage de cuivre, définissant un passage pour le métal coulé et dont les parois sont énergiquement refroidies par circulation d'eau ; et à extraire en continu de cette lingotière un produit déjà solidifié extérieurement sur plusieurs millimètres d'épaisseur. La solidification progresse ensuite vers l'axe du produit et s'achève au cours de la descente de celui-ci en aval de la lingotière dans la zone dite de "refroidissement secondaire" sous l'effet de rampes d'arrosage d'eau. Le produit obtenu est ensuite découpé à longueur, puis laminé avant expédition à la clientèle ou transformation sur place, en barres, fils, profilés, plaques, tôles, etc.The continuous casting operation schematically consists, as is known, in pouring a molten metal into a bottomless mold essentially consisting of a metal mold body, generally a one-piece tubular element (cast of long products) or with assembled plates ( casting of flat products) of copper or copper alloy, defining a passage for the cast metal and whose walls are vigorously cooled by circulation of water; and to extract continuously from this mold a product already solidified externally over several millimeters thick. The solidification then progresses towards the axis of the product and is completed during the descent thereof downstream of the mold in the so-called "secondary cooling" zone under the effect of watering ramps. The product obtained is then cut to length and rolled before shipment to customers or processing on site, bars, wires, profiles, plates, sheets, etc.
Un paramètre important de la coulée continue est le refroidissement énergique des parois du corps de lingotière, qui est nécessaire pour extraire les quantités de chaleur requises pour la solidification du métal en fusion. Le refroidissement de la lingotière se fait par circulation d'eau le long de la face extérieure des parois du corps tubulaire. Classiquement, une chemise en acier est prévue pour canaliser la circulation autour du corps tubulaire, et communique à son extrémité inférieure avec une chambre d'introduction et à son extrémité supérieure avec une chambre d'évacuation, de sorte que la circulation de l'eau se fasse du bas vers le haut.An important parameter of continuous casting is the energetic cooling of the mold body walls, which is necessary to extract the amounts of heat required for the solidification of the molten metal. The cooling of the mold is done by circulating water along the outer face of the walls of the tubular body. Conventionally, a steel jacket is provided for channeling the circulation around the tubular body, and communicates at its lower end with an introduction chamber and at its upper end with an evacuation chamber, so that the circulation of the water from bottom to top.
Dans la technique dite de "coulée continue en charge verticale", une rehausse rigide en matériau réfractaire isolant est placée sur le dessus du corps tubulaire de lingotière pour prolonger vers le haut le passage intérieur du corps tubulaire métallique dans lequel est coulé le métal en fusion. Au cours de la coulée, le niveau de la surface libre du métal en fusion (encore appelée ménisque) est maintenu dans la rehausse, généralement à une distance de 10 à 20 cm au-dessus du corps tubulaire où débute la solidification. Cela permet donc de remonter le ménisque en amont de la zone de solidification, et évite ainsi l'apparition de défauts de surface ou sous cutanés qui sinon seraient immanquablement causés par la variation du niveau du ménisque. En outre, le volume de métal en fusion dans la rehausse joue un rôle de tampon, qui amortit les turbulences d'écoulement qui se développent inévitablement sous l'effet du flux d'arrivée de métal.In the so-called "continuous casting in vertical load" technique, a rigid riser made of insulating refractory material is placed on the top of the tubular mold body to extend upwardly the internal passage of the metal tubular body in which the molten metal is cast. . During casting, the level of the free surface of the molten metal (also called meniscus) is maintained in the riser, generally at a distance of 10 to 20 cm above the tubular body where solidification begins. This makes it possible to raise the meniscus upstream of the solidification zone, and thus avoids the appearance of surface or subcutaneous defects that would otherwise be inevitably caused by the variation of the meniscus level. In addition, the volume of molten metal in the riser acts as a buffer, which dampens the flow turbulence that inevitably develops under the effect of the metal feed stream.
L'emploi de la rehausse permet donc d'obtenir un écoulement de métal en fusion relativement calme au niveau où s'amorce sa solidification, ce qui contribue à une bonne qualité du produit solidifié et notamment à la régularité de la formation de la première peau dès le contact avec la paroi en cuivre refroidie. Toutefois, un problème reconnu de la coulée continue en charge est la difficulté de bien refroidir la partie haute du corps de lingotière, car la structure de refroidissement classique décrite ci-dessus n'est pas suffisamment performante.The use of the riser therefore makes it possible to obtain a flow of relatively quiet molten metal at the level at which its solidification begins, which contributes to a good quality of the solidified product and in particular to the regularity of the formation of the first skin upon contact with the cooled copper wall. However, a recognized problem of the continuous casting under load is the difficulty of cooling well the upper part of the mold body, because the conventional cooling structure described above is not sufficiently efficient.
Afin d'améliorer les capacités de refroidissement de la lingotière dans la partie supérieure du corps de lingotière, le document
Si une telle structure de lingotière a fait ses preuves en pratique, la mise en place de la circulation périphérique horizontale nécessite un deuxième circuit d'alimentation d'eau haute pression comprenant pompes, surpresseurs et canalisations, ce qui est relativement coûteux. De plus, cette structure peut se révéler difficile à adapter suivant la forme du corps de lingotière. En particulier, la complexité de la forme de la lingotière pour la coulée de petits profilés rend la mise en place du deuxième circuit de refroidissement assez difficile.If such a mold structure has been proven in practice, the establishment of the horizontal peripheral circulation requires a second high pressure water supply circuit including pumps, boosters and pipes, which is relatively expensive. In addition, this structure can be difficult to adapt depending on the shape of the mold body. In particular, the complexity of the shape of the mold for casting small sections makes the implementation of the second cooling circuit quite difficult.
L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer une lingotière pour la coulée continue des métaux, de conception simple et présentant une forte capacité de refroidissement, notamment à son extrémité d'entrée. Conformément à l'invention, cet objectif est atteint par une lingotière pour la coulée continue des métaux selon la revendication 1.The object of the present invention is to provide an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, simple design and having a high cooling capacity, especially at its inlet end. According to the invention, this objective is achieved by an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals according to claim 1.
La présente invention concerne une lingotière pour la coulée continue des métaux, notamment de l'acier, comprenant un corps de lingotière métallique pourvu d'un passage pour le métal coulé s'étendant entre une face d'entrée et une face de sortie. Une pluralité de canaux de refroidissement pour un fluide de refroidissement sont agencés le long du passage. Une chambre de répartition pour le fluide de refroidissement communique avec l'extrémité des canaux de refroidissement du côté de la face d'entrée.The present invention relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals, in particular steel, comprising a metal mold body having a passage for the cast metal extending between an inlet face and an outlet face. A plurality of cooling channels for a cooling fluid are arranged along the passage. A distribution chamber for the coolant communicates with the end of the cooling channels on the input side side.
Selon l'invention, les canaux de refroidissement s'étendent jusque sous la face d'entrée, et leurs extrémités communiquent avec la chambre de répartition via des canaux de liaison intermédiaires respectifs. En outre, la chambre de répartition est agencée en retrait par rapport à la face d'entrée et par rapport aux extrémités des canaux de refroidissement côté face d'entrée.According to the invention, the cooling channels extend as far as the inlet face, and their ends communicate with the distribution chamber via respective intermediate connecting channels. In addition, the distribution chamber is arranged recessed with respect to the inlet face and with respect to the ends of the inlet side cooling channels.
Dans la présente lingotière, la zone chaude la plus critique de la lingotière est donc refroidie par les canaux de refroidissement, qui se prolongent jusque sous la face d'entrée, au voisinage de celle-ci pour y former leur extrémité. La chambre de répartition est déportée vers l'arrière et le fluide de refroidissement est canalisé entre l'extrémité de chaque canal de refroidissement et la chambre de répartition par un canal de liaison intermédiaire, typiquement oblique par rapport à la direction du canal de refroidissement. Un tel canal intermédiaire constitue donc une conduite de retour depuis la face d'entrée vers la chambre de répartition, qui permet de conserver au mieux des vitesses de fluide de refroidissement élevées dans la partie chaude critique de la lingotière. Les canaux intermédiaires ont de préférence une section égale ou inférieure à celle des canaux de refroidissement. Plus particulièrement, la canalisation de l'écoulement dans la partie de lingotière proche de la face d'entrée et le déport de la chambre de répartition évitent les turbulences et autres phénomènes d'ébullition, rédhibitoires pour un processus de coulée stable, qui peuvent intervenir lorsque le canal de refroidissement débouche directement dans une chambre de répartition de section plus importante.In the present mold, the most critical hot zone of the mold is thus cooled by the cooling channels, which extend to under the entrance face, in the vicinity of it to form their end. The distribution chamber is deported backwards and the cooling fluid is channeled between the end of each cooling channel and the distribution chamber by an intermediate connecting channel, typically oblique with respect to the direction of the cooling channel. Such an intermediate channel thus constitutes a return line from the inlet face to the distribution chamber, which makes it possible to better preserve high cooling fluid speeds in the critical hot part of the mold. The intermediate channels preferably have a section equal to or smaller than that of the cooling channels. More particularly, the channelization of the flow in the ingot mold part close to the inlet face and the offset of the distribution chamber prevent turbulence and other boiling phenomena, which are unacceptable for a stable casting process, which may occur. when the cooling channel opens directly into a distribution chamber of larger section.
La configuration de la lingotière selon l'invention permet donc un refroidissement accru du corps de lingotière du côté de son extrémité d'entrée, ce qui la rend particulièrement bien adaptée à la coulée continue en charge, notamment la coulée continue en charge verticale de l'acier.The configuration of the mold according to the invention therefore allows the mold body to be cooled further towards its inlet end, which makes it particularly suitable for continuous casting under load, in particular the continuous casting in vertical load of the mold. 'steel.
Un circuit de refroidissement conforme à l'invention peut aisément être réalisé avec des corps de lingotière de dimensions et formes variées. La présente invention concerne particulièrement des lingotières pour la coulée continue en charge verticale de petits profilés, typiquement de dimensions 100x100x12 mm à 300x300x20 mm avec des vitesses de coulée dans la gamme de 5 à 10 m/min.A cooling circuit according to the invention can easily be realized with ingot mold bodies of various sizes and shapes. The present invention particularly relates to ingot molds for the continuous casting in vertical load of small sections, typically of dimensions 100x100x12 mm to 300x300x20 mm with casting speeds in the range of 5 to 10 m / min.
On observera encore qu'un deuxième circuit de refroidissement n'est pas nécessaire, ce qui simplifie la réalisation de la lingotière et réduit les coûts de production avec une installation de coulée continue équipée de la présente lingotière.It will be observed again that a second cooling circuit is not necessary, which simplifies the realization of the mold and reduces production costs with a continuous casting plant equipped with the present mold.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, une autre chambre de répartition communiquant avec l'extrémité des canaux de refroidissement est prévue du côté de la face de sortie. L'extrémité de chaque canal de refroidissement coté face de sortie est en communication avec cette autre chambre d'introduction à travers un passage respectif.According to a preferred embodiment, another distribution chamber communicating with the end of the cooling channels is provided for side of the exit face. The end of each cooling channel on the exit face side is in communication with this other introduction chamber through a respective passage.
Avantageusement, la section de passage dans les canaux de refroidissement est réduite à proximité de la face d'entrée du corps de lingotière. Cela permet d'augmenter la vitesse du fluide de refroidissement dans cette région du corps de lingotière, et donc d'accroître la capacité de refroidissement. Une telle réduction de la section de passage peut être obtenue par usinage.Advantageously, the passage section in the cooling channels is reduced near the inlet face of the mold body. This makes it possible to increase the speed of the cooling fluid in this region of the mold body, and thus to increase the cooling capacity. Such a reduction of the passage section can be obtained by machining.
Toutefois, la réduction de section se fait préférablement au moyen d'un dispositif réducteur de section qui est installé dans l'extrémité de chaque canal de refroidissement côté face d'entrée. Le dispositif réducteur de section est avantageusement conçu de sorte à obturer partiellement le canal de refroidissement à proximité de sa face froide (la plus éloignée de l'espace de coulée) et permettre l'écoulement de fluide de refroidissement le long de la face chaude (chargée thermiquement) du canal de refroidissement. Un tel dispositif réducteur de section permet donc d'augmenter la vitesse du fluide de refroidissement dans la partie critique du corps de lingotière, et de faire circuler le fluide dans la portion du canal de refroidissement la plus chaude.However, the section reduction is preferably done by means of a section reducing device which is installed in the end of each inlet side cooling channel. The section reducing device is advantageously designed so as to partially close the cooling channel near its cold face (farthest from the casting space) and allow the flow of cooling fluid along the hot face ( thermally charged) of the cooling channel. Such a section reducing device therefore makes it possible to increase the speed of the cooling fluid in the critical part of the mold body, and to circulate the fluid in the portion of the hottest cooling channel.
Dans une variante préférée du dispositif réducteur de section, celui-ci comprend un corps oblong à trois faces: une face convexe dont la courbure correspond à celle du canal de refroidissement, et deux faces concaves contiguës à la face convexe et se rejoignant au niveau d'une arête. Vu en section transversale, la distance maximale entre l'arête et la face convexe est sensiblement égale à la section du canal de refroidissement. Le dispositif réducteur de section est orienté dans le canal de sorte que son arête soit tournée vers le canal chaud, de sorte que le fluide de refroidissement est forcé de circuler dans deux canaux de section réduite le long de la face chaude du canal de refroidissement.In a preferred variant of the section reduction device, the latter comprises an oblong body with three faces: a convex face whose curvature corresponds to that of the cooling channel, and two concave faces contiguous to the convex face and meeting at the level of the 'a stop. Viewed in cross section, the maximum distance between the edge and the convex face is substantially equal to the section of the cooling channel. The section reducing device is oriented in the channel so that its edge is turned towards the hot channel, so that the cooling fluid is forced to flow in two reduced section channels along the hot face of the cooling channel.
Avantageusement, le corps oblong se prolonge à son extrémité inférieure par un pied effilé, dont la hauteur est supérieure à la distance entre l'extrémité du canal de refroidissement côté sortie et l'ouverture du canal intermédiaire découchant dans cette zone. Ce pied permet d'éviter un bouchage du canal intermédiaire proche de la face de sortie, si jamais le dispositif venait à tomber au fond du canal de refroidissement.Advantageously, the elongate body is extended at its lower end by a tapered foot, the height of which is greater than the distance between the end of the cooling channel on the outlet side and the opening of the intermediate channel. coming into this area. This foot avoids clogging of the intermediate channel close to the exit face, should the device fall to the bottom of the cooling channel.
Lorsque le dispositif réducteur de section est positionné dans le canal de refroidissement avec son arête contre la face chaude, la face convexe se trouve contre la face froide du canal de refroidissement. C'est en général dans cette face froide que débouche le canal intermédiaire du côté de la face d'entrée. On prévoira donc de préférence, dans chaque face latérale concave, un trou de passage reliant celle-ci à la face convexe, pour permettre l'écoulement du fluide de refroidissement directement dans le canal intermédiaire.When the section reducing device is positioned in the cooling channel with its edge against the hot face, the convex face is against the cold face of the cooling channel. It is usually in this cold face that opens the intermediate channel on the side of the input face. Therefore, in each concave side face, a passage hole connecting the latter to the convex face will preferably be provided to allow the flow of the cooling fluid directly into the intermediate channel.
Pour un refroidissement optimal du passage, les canaux de refroidissement s'étendent de préférence essentiellement sur toute la longueur du passage (ou espace de coulée) dans le corps de lingotière. En outre, ils suivent avantageusement le contour du passage, qui dépend du produit métallique à couler (brame, poutrelle, ou autre profilé). La section de passage offerte par les canaux de refroidissement est de préférence identique et constante sur toute leur longueur, sauf, le cas échéant, à proximité de la face d'entrée où la section de passage peut être réduite comme indiqué ci-dessus.For optimum cooling of the passage, the cooling channels preferably extend substantially the entire length of the passage (or casting space) in the mold body. In addition, they advantageously follow the contour of the passage, which depends on the metal product to be cast (slab, beam, or other profile). The passage section provided by the cooling channels is preferably identical and constant over their entire length, except, where appropriate, near the inlet face where the passage section can be reduced as indicated above.
La conception du corps de lingotière dépend du type de produit métallique à couler. Pour les profilés, notamment des petits profilés (du type poutrelles ou autres), le corps de lingotière comprendra généralement un élément tubulaire monolitique en cuivre ou alliage de cuivre. Les canaux de refroidissement sont de préférence percés dans la paroi de cet élément tubulaire monolithique et distribués tout autour du passage.The design of the mold body depends on the type of metal product to be cast. For the profiles, in particular small sections (of the beam or other type), the mold body will generally comprise a monolithic tubular element of copper or copper alloy. The cooling channels are preferably drilled in the wall of this monolithic tubular element and distributed all around the passage.
Pour la fabrication de brames, le corps de lingotière comprend en général un assemblage de quatre plaque définissant un passage rectangulaire pour le métal coulé. Dans ce cas, les canaux de refroidissement avec les canaux intermédiaires sont agencés dans au moins une desdites plaques.For the manufacture of slabs, the mold body generally comprises a four-plate assembly defining a rectangular passage for the cast metal. In this case, the cooling channels with the intermediate channels are arranged in at least one of said plates.
Pour l'utilisation dans une installation de coulée continue en charge verticale, la lingotière comprendra classiquement une rehausse comprenant un élément réfractaire rigide à propriété thermo-isolante prolongeant le passage du corps de lingotière au-dessus de la face d'entrée. En outre, on pourra prévoir des moyens pour l'injection d'un gaz, préférablement inerte, sous pression dans le passage et sur tout son pourtour, au niveau de l'interface entre la rehausse et le corps de lingotière.For use in a continuous casting installation in vertical load, the mold will typically comprise a riser comprising a rigid refractory element thermally insulating property extending the passage of the ingot mold body above the inlet face. In addition, there may be provided means for the injection of a gas, preferably inert, under pressure in the passage and all around the interface at the interface between the riser and the mold body.
Selon un autre aspect, la présente invention concerne une lingotière pour la coulée continue des métaux comprenant un corps de lingotière pourvu d'un passage pour le métal coulé et d'au moins un canal de refroidissement de refroidissement le long du passage, dans laquelle un dispositif réducteur de section est installé dans le canal de refroidissement. Le dispositif réducteur de section obture le canal le long de la face froide et autorise l'écoulement de fluide de refroidissement le long de la face chaude du canal de refroidissement.In another aspect, the present invention relates to an ingot mold for the continuous casting of metals comprising a mold body having a passage for the cast metal and at least one cooling cooling channel along the passage, wherein a Section reducer device is installed in the cooling channel. The section reducing device closes the channel along the cold face and allows the flow of cooling fluid along the hot side of the cooling channel.

Classiquement, le corps de lingotière 12 est surmonté d'une rehausse, indiquée généralement 20, dans laquelle est versé le métal en fusion depuis un répartiteur (ou "tundish", non représenté), et qui permet de maintenir la surface libre du métal en fusion à une certaine distance du corps de lingotière 12 où débute la solidification. Comme on le voit sur la
Le corps de lingotière 12 est énergiquement refroidi par circulation d'eau en interne pour extraire la chaleur nécessaire au refroidissement du métal en fusion. L'eau de refroidissement circule, de préférence de bas en haut, dans une pluralité de canaux de refroidissement 26 verticaux (un seul représenté sur la
On appréciera que dans la présente lingotière 10 les canaux de refroidissement se prolongent jusque sous la face d'entrée 14 du corps de lingotière 12, ce qui permet d'avoir des canaux de refroidissement 26 qui s'étendent quasiment sur toute la longueur (hauteur) du passage 18, et notamment donc dans la région supérieure du corps de lingotière 12 vers l'interface avec la rehausse 20 où débute la solidification. On notera également que la chambre d'évacuation 30 est en retrait par rapport à la face d'entrée 14 du corps de lingotière 12 et à l'extrémité supérieure des canaux de refroidissement 26. La circulation de l'eau depuis l'extrémité du canal de refroidissement 26 coté face d'entrée 14 jusqu'à la chambre d'évacuation 30 se fait à travers un canal intermédiaire d'évacuation 32 (ou canal de liaison intermédiaire) qui part de l'extrémité du canal 26 et s'écarte de la face d'entrée 14 vers l'arrière pour déboucher dans la chambre d'évacuation déportée 30. Le canal de liaison intermédiaire 32 s'étend donc obliquement par rapport à l'axe du canal de refroidissement 26 auquel il est associé. Un tel canal de liaison intermédiaire 32 constitue donc une conduite de retour depuis la face d'entrée 14 vers la chambre de répartition, qui permet de conserver des vitesses de fluide de refroidissement élevées jusqu'à la chambre d'évacuation 30. La structure du circuit de refroidissement dans la lingotière 10 permet d'évacuer des quantités de chaleur importantes dans la zone chaude critique de la lingotière, et évite les problèmes d'évaporation et de zones mortes dans cette partie de la lingotière.It will be appreciated that in the
Dans la présente variante, le corps de lingotière comprend, assemblés l'un à l'autre, un élément tubulaire 33 monolithique sans fond, en cuivre ou alliage de cuivre, définissant l'espace de coulée sous forme d'un passage central 18 pour le métal coulé et un manteau 39 entourant l'élément 33 à distance.In the present variant, the mold body comprises, assembled to each other, a bottomless monolithic
Cet élément tubulaire 33 présente de fabrication une bride supérieure 34 dont l'extrémité libre vient en contact étanche avec le bord supérieur du manteau 39 et dont la face supérieure constitue la face d'entrée 14 de l'espace de coulée 18. De manière symétrique, le manteau 39 présente à son extrémité inférieure une bride en retour 36 venant par son extrémité libre en contact étanche avec le bord inférieur du corps tubulaire 33 et dont la face inférieure constitue la face de sortie 16 de l'espace de coulée 18.This
Comme on le voit sur la
La communication hydraulique entre la chambre d'introduction 28 et les canaux de refroidissement 26 se fait à travers des passages 38 percés au droit de l'élément tubulaire 33 au ras du fond de la chambre 28.The hydraulic communication between the
En revanche, conformément à une caractéristique propre à l'invention, la communication entre les canaux 26 et la chambre d'évacuation 30 s'opère à l'aide de canaux de liaison intermédiaires 32 percés en oblique dans la bride supérieure 34 afin de relier l'extrémité de sortie haute de chaque canal de refroidissement 26 à la chambre d'évacuation 30 à son extrémité supérieure. De préférence, on ménagera des canaux de liaison intermédiaires 32 les plus courts possibles en les perçant, comme le montre la
Dans un tel élément tubulaire 33, les canaux de refroidissement 26 peuvent être facilement réalisés par perçage depuis la face inférieure 16, dans la paroi du tube. Les canaux 26 sont ensuite obturés du côté sortie par des bouchons 40. De même, les canaux intermédiaires d'évacuation 32 peuvent être réalisés par perçage de la bride supérieure 34. Le perçage est encore la solution préférée pour le canaux intermédiaires d'introduction 38.In such a
La
La réalisation par perçage permet un agencement aisé des canaux de refroidissement verticaux 26 à la périphérie du passage 18. L'agencement des canaux intermédiaires d'évacuation 32 dans certaines zones, notamment dans la partie supérieure de lingotière au niveau du congé de raccordement entre âme et aile du profilé, requiert préférablement un déploiement dans l'espace afin d'éviter qu'ils ne se rencontrent. Cela peut être constaté sur la
La structure du circuit de refroidissement dans la présente lingotière 10 est particulièrement bien adapté pour des corps de lingotière de taille réduite et de formes complexes, tel que pour la fabrication de petits profilés. Comparativement aux lingotières connues employant une circulation d'eau périphérique horizontale, l'utilisation d'une pluralité de canaux, de section relativement plus petite, uniformément répartis permet de mieux répartir l'extraction de chaleur, et donc d'obtenir une meilleur homogénéité de refroidissement sur le périmètre.The structure of the cooling circuit in the
Pour la coulée continue de profilés de petites dimensions, c'est-à -dire généralement de dimensions 100x100x12 mm à 300x300x20 mm, les canaux de refroidissement verticaux ont par exemple un diamètre entre 7 et 10 mm, et leur extrémité supérieure se situe à moins de 8 mm de la face d'entrée 14 (surface supérieure de la bride 34), de préférence entre 4 et 6 mm. La distance entre la face chaude des canaux 26 et la face intérieure du passage 18 peut être entre 5 et 10 mm.For the continuous casting of profiles of small dimensions, that is to say generally of dimensions 100x100x12 mm to 300x300x20 mm, the vertical cooling channels have for example a diameter between 7 and 10 mm, and their upper end is located unless 8 mm of the input face 14 (upper surface of the flange 34), preferably between 4 and 6 mm. The distance between the hot face of the
Dans l'exécution de la
Un tel dispositif réducteur de section 50 est représenté plus en détails sur les
Le dispositif 50 est positionné dans le canal de refroidissement 26 avec l'arête 60 tournée vers le passage de lingotière 18. Ainsi, la face convexe 54 s'appuie sur la face froide du canal de refroidissement 26 (la plus éloignée du passage de lingotière) et empêche l'écoulement de l'eau le long de celle-ci. En revanche, les faces latérales 56 et 58 définissent avec la face chaude du canal de refroidissement (proche du passage de lingotière et donc chargée thermiquement) deux canaux de refroidissement 62 et 62' de section restreinte, qui forcent la circulation de l'eau le long de la face chaude du canal 26.The
Afin de permettre à l'eau de refroidissement qui circule le long du dispositif réducteur de section 50 et de la face chaude du canal de refroidissement 26 de s'échapper dans le canal d'évacuation 32 qui débouche dans la face froide du canal 26, on prévoit un trou de passage 64 entre chacune des faces concaves 56, 58 et la face convexe 54. Ces trous de passage 64 sont donc avantageusement positionnés pour déboucher directement dans le canal intermédiaire d'évacuation 32 lorsque l'aiguille est installée dans le canal de refroidissement 26.In order to allow the cooling water circulating along the
Enfin, le corps 52 est avantageusement prolongé dans sa partie inférieure par un pied effilé 66, dont la longueur est supérieure à la distance entre le fond du canal de refroidissement 26 (côté sortie) et l'ouverture du canal d'introduction 38. Au cas où le dispositif 50 viendrait anormalement à tomber dans le fond du canal de refroidissement 26, le pied 66 permet de maintenir le corps 52 du dispositif 50 au dessus de l'ouverture du canal d'introduction 38 et évite tout bouchage.Finally, the
Il reste à noter que la réduction de section peut également être obtenue en jouant sur l'usinage des canaux de refroidissement 26. Toutefois, l'utilisation de dispositifs réducteurs de section 50 présente l'avantage d'être flexible d'utilisation car des modifications des conditions de refroidissement sont possibles sans modifier l'usinage du tube de lingotière 33.It should be noted that the reduction of section can also be obtained by playing on the machining of the
