Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a Zweiwalzeng tellmaschine for casting molten metal, in particular molten steel, to cast strip, the two casting rolls, which are driven in opposite directions about an axis of rotation and define between them a casting gap on the longitudinal sides, and with deliveries to the casting rolls Side plates which seal the casting gap on its narrow sides in the casting operation by bridging the casting gap with a refractory material on the end faces of the casting rolls, wherein the side plates are moved during the casting operation in the vertical direction, which is aligned parallel to the conveying direction, in which cast strip leaves the casting gap, wherein arise in the refractory material of the side plates with increasing operating time gap-like recesses.
- the melting space at the end faces of the casting rolls is usually sealed with side plates which carry a ceramic insert forming the actual seal.
- This ceramic is moved axially during the casting process in the direction of the casting rolls, on the one hand to compensate for the resulting by the abrasion of the casting rolls removal of the ceramic material and on the other the wear of the insert, due to abrasion by the in the casting gap forming band edge and chemical reaction is caused.
- the width and depth of the grooves increase in the direction of the narrowest region of the casting gap, against which the metal shells solidified on the casting rolls are pressed against one another.
- the gap-like recesses can work into the areas of the insert ceramic lying between the end faces of the casting rolls and their associated contact surfaces of the inserts.
- the thus enlarged gap-like recesses then have a T-shaped cross-section.
- T-slot-like recesses urgent melt can solidify at the end faces of the casting rolls.
- the solidified pieces of melts in technical language also called "T-edges" are entrained by the casting rolls and can cause such significant disturbances of the casting operation or the casting result.
- Refractory bearing side plates is sealed. To optimize the seal while the side plates are moved along an approximately vertical plane in the casting direction, wherein the displacement is superimposed on an oscillating vibration.
- the aim of this measure is the avoidance of early solidifying, adhering to the side plates particle accumulations, so-called "crusts". These crusts can locally lead to accretions on the side plates, which already solidified in the existing in the casting gap in the areas adjacent to the casting rolls, but between them still liquid metal rich. Problems of this kind occur in particular in those two-roll casting plants, in which in particular the temperature and flow conditions in the side plate area are unfavorable. As the particles adhering to the side panels become loose, the tape will increase locally in the periphery.
- the object of the invention to provide a method in which suppresses the emergence of the casting result and the casting disturbing grooves with increased safety and the life of the side plates and the security, with a stable Casting can be maintained, compared to the prior art is increased.
- the side plates are adjusted with their insert from G fauxbeginn taking into account each cast length of the cast strip.
- the inventive reference to the each cast, directly dependent on the respective casting speed strip length is taken into account in the adjustment of the side plates each produced strip thickness and thus the conditions prevailing in the casting gap conditions. In this way, irrespective of the thickness of the respective band is achieved that at the critical narrowest point of the insert even at long service Grooves at best to an extent that they represent no danger to the casting operation and also in terms of quality of the obtained tape are not critical.
- the invention is based on the empirical assumption that at non-moving side plates due to the emergence of the grooves in the worst case, the point at which melt penetrates into the recess between insert and casting roll recess, at about 3/4 of Height of the bath level measured over the outlet of the casting gap and the width of the groove formed in each case corresponds to a maximum of half the strip thickness to a good approximation. Based on this assumption can then be estimated taking into account the progress of the formation of the grooves in the axial direction of the casting rolls in accordance with the invention, the Absenkrate by which the side plates must be lowered in the vertical direction to prevent the formation of grooves.
- the movement carried out according to the invention starts immediately with the casting operation.
- Due to continuous displacement of the side plate in the conveying direction of the cast strip, the cast molten metal has less time in the critical area for solidification, so that the abrasive wear caused by it is low.
- the adjustment according to the invention leads to a significant extension of the service life of the side plates used in a two-roll casting machine.
- the Anstellrate with which the side plates in addition to the invention in the conveying direction of the tape movement in the axial direction, ie along the rotational or longitudinal axes of the casting rolls, must be moved in a machine operated according to the invention to about one Can be reduced by a third of the setting rates set in conventional two-roll casting machines.
- the thickness loss of the side plates occurring over the casting time is correspondingly low, so that a lifetime of the inserts of the side plates which is significantly longer than the prior art is achieved.
- the respectively specifically selected rate of movement of the adjustment according to the invention can be adjusted within the abovementioned limits, taking into account the properties of the respectively processed molten metal and the remaining boundary conditions of the casting. For example, when casting high temperature steel grades and inserting lower hardness inserts, higher rates of movement can be set to compensate for the wear of the insert than is the case when less temperature resistant molten steel is cast using a harder insert. Also, for example, when required by high cooling capacity or a corresponding composition of the process gas used in each case to support the formation of the band shells rapid solidification of the metal and accordingly high band forming forces In order to avoid the formation of grooves, higher movement rates are set than under process conditions in which the respectively cast metal in the casting gap becomes less fast and correspondingly less wear of the inserts occurs.
- the determination of the lowering rate should also take into account the time over which contact between the melt and the insert has taken place. For this purpose, it is therefore provided according to a preferred embodiment of the invention that the Absenkrate is increased with increasing contact time. In the formula context provided for determining the most favorable lowering rate, this dependence can then be incorporated as follows:
- material-specific reference contact time t Cre f are designated.
- the reference contact time t Cre f can thereby be determined by a casting test in which the respectively castable melt material is cast in combination with the insert ceramic to be used in each case with this melt material in the respective two-roll casting machine without the side plates provided with the ceramic inserts to be moved.
- the reference contact time t Cre f is then the average time at which a corresponding Groov education has formed over the cast length.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the side plates are additionally moved in the axial direction of the casting rolls against their respectively associated end faces with a force superimposed, for example axial Bewegunsgsrate. at This combined adjustment of the side plates in the axial direction of the casting rolls and conveying direction of the cast strip is ensured at all times that the side plates bear with the force required for the sealing of the casting gap on the end faces of the casting rolls.
- the movement of the side plates in the axial direction of the casting rolls is preferably carried out continuously parallel to their movement according to the invention in the conveying direction and depending, for example, on the high temperature properties of the refractory used for the insert of the side plates, the casting properties of the cast steel, the strip thickness, in the conveying direction of the cast strip effective lowering rate and / or the progress of the training of the insert.
- Figure 1 is a Zweiwalzeng screenmaschine in a side view.
- FIG. 2 shows the two-roll casting machine in a section along the section line A-A shown in FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a side plate in frontal view.
- the two-roll casting machine 1 comprises, in addition to a large number of other units not shown here, two casting rolls 2, 3 which are parallel to one another in their longitudinal direction are aligned and define a casting gap 4 on its longitudinal sides between them.
- the casting rolls 2, 3 rotate in opposite directions about their horizontally oriented axes of rotation D 2, D 3, which coincide with their longitudinal axes, so that their circumferential surfaces, coming from above, dip into the casting gap 4.
- the cast strip B formed in the casting gap 4 leaves the casting gap 4 at its lower narrow exit opening 4a in a vertically oriented direction F.
- Both narrow sides of the G umanspalts 4 are sealed by a respective side plate 5, 6, which is formed by a support plate 5a and a supported by the support plate 5a, to the respective side plate 5,6 associated end faces of the casting rolls 2.3 fitting insert 5b is made of a ceramic refractory material.
- the side plates 5, 6 are actuated by adjusting means 7 a, 7 b, 8 a, 8 b acting in horizontally along the axes of rotation D 2, D 3 of the casting rolls 2, 3, with the contact force required for a permanent seal and / or with a force superimposed, for example, axial movement rate, pressed against their respective associated end faces of the casting rolls 2.3.
- the adjusting devices 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b act via an intermediate plate on the side plates 5, 6, on which the respective side plate 5.6 in a vertical, parallel to the conveying direction F of the cast strip B aligned direction Z is slidably mounted.
- the intermediate plate carries in each case a pair of 9.10 of vertical, to the direction of action F parallel effective direction Z acting adjusting 9a, 9b, of which one adjustment 9a on the one casting roll 2 and the other adjusting device 9b on the other casting roll associated side of the side plates 5, 6 is arranged.
- the molten steel is poured into the casting gap 4 with casting rolls 2, 3 rotating at a certain peripheral speed, so that a melt pool P forms over the outlet opening 4a, the bath level of which rises at a height hi the outlet opening 4a of the casting gap 4 is located.
- the melt impinging on the circumferential surface of the casting rolls 2, 3 solidifies there, so that in each case a band shell forms on the casting rolls 2, 3.
- These band shells are taken from the casting rolls 2.3 in the direction of the outlet opening 4a of the casting gap 4 until they are in the so-called Nip-point NP meet and there are pressed together to the cast strip B to be produced.
- the side plates 5, 6 are continuously lowered by their respectively associated adjusting 9.10 in the vertical direction of action Z parallel to the conveying direction F of the cast strip B with a certain Absenkrate.
- the height and thus the extent of the grooves G1, G2 is minimized, which is between the circumferential surfaces of the casting rolls 2, 3 and the side faces 5 c, 5 d of the inserts 5 adjoining them , 6 due to the abrasive, unavoidable by the contact of the respective insert 5.6 with the solidifying in the casting gap 4 molten steel melt.
- a strip B with a strip thickness s of 3 mm is to be cast from a molten steel, the result is a height hi of the melt pool bath level above the outlet opening 4a of the pouring gap 4 of 400 mm, a height difference h G of the respectively considered groove G1, G2 to the nip point NP of the casting gap 4 of 300 mm, a circumferential radius r G w of the casting rolls 2, 3 of 750 mm, an axial groove formation rate a G of 1.5 mm / km, an axial feed rate a v of 1.0 mm / km, a critical groove depth k G of 1.0 mm and an exponent n of 0.5 empirically determined from the so-called root-T-law, using the formulaic relationships given above
- the vertical lowering rate increases to 1.29 mm / km cast strip, in accordance with the above formula .
- the necessary vertical lowering rate for groove avoidance is thus to be increased.
- the respective contact time t c between melt and insert can be taken into account when calculating the vertical settling rate v s according to the following proviso:
- the reference contact time t Cre f is determined empirically for each of the steel materials to be cast and for each casting machine. Basically, it is true that ever smaller is the contact time t c between ceramic insert and melt, the lower is the respectively required movement rate of the ceramic.
- the groove formation rates a G and axial feed rates a v determined for a SiO 2 ceramic having an Si content of more than 50% and a Mn-containing melt are set for different contact times t c and Mn contents% Mn indicated
