Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for adjusting the width of a continuously cast by a mold metal strand in a continuous casting plant according to the preamble of claim 1, and a corresponding device.
- the width B of a metal strand can be adjusted with adjustable narrow sides of the mold.
- the metal strand In the area of secondary cooling, ie below or downstream of the mold, the metal strand is guided by means of rollers arranged parallel to the broad side of the strand. This ensures the thickness d of the metal strand.
- the narrow sides of the metal strand have in the area below the mold usually a short support, consisting of only a few pairs of rollers following this support begins the spreading of the metal strand .. Due to the ferrostatic pressure, the metal strand spreads and bulges thus in the area below the mold in the width direction, ie transverse to the casting direction. The spread of the metal strand can reach several percent of the nominal width.
- the Japanese Patent Application JP S 61232049 discloses a method for adjusting the width of a continuous casting mold. Specifically, the nominal width of the mold, the changes in mold width at the beginning and at the end of a mold Continuous casting and the casting speed as parameters entered into a computing unit, which calculates suitable manipulated variables for actuators for setting the mold width from these input parameters. This allows high-speed casting, in which the variations in the mold width are reduced, even if otherwise the mold width varies greatly during continuous casting.
- EP 2 762 251 B1 discloses a generic method for casting a metal strand having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- a width correction for the metal strand is calculated as a function of a determined volume flow control difference from the measured actual value and the measured desired value of the volume flow of a liquid metal in a controller, taking into account Thickness of the metal strand to be cast and the casting speed.
- the calculated width correction is output as a manipulated variable to an actuator for adjusting at least one narrow side of the continuous casting mold, so that there is a change in the width B of the metal strand to be cast.
- a disadvantage of the method according to EP 2 762 251 B1 is that for this purpose the knowledge of the volume flow of the liquid metal is necessary, which makes a corresponding flow sensor or the like required at an outlet opening of the continuous casting mold.
- the invention has for its object to optimize the continuous casting of a metal strand to the effect that the most accurate width tolerance for the metal strand, in particular at the end of the continuous casting is ensured by a suitable adjustment of the narrow sides of the continuous casting mold.
- a method according to the present invention is for adjusting the width of a continuously cast by a mold metal strand in a continuous casting plant.
- a width correction for the metal strand is calculated and output as a manipulated variable for adjusting at least one narrow side of the mold.
- Based on a Breitungsmodells is calculated by a computing device, the width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom at the end of the continuous casting taking into account at least one calculation parameter and compared with a predetermined setpoint, wherein at least one narrow side of the mold depending on the calculated width for the end of the continuous casting of the metal strand is set.
- both narrow sides of the mold are set here.
- the setting of the at least one narrow side of the mold can be made regulated, for which purpose a corresponding control circuit is established in the computing device.
- the width of a continuously cast metal strand is determined by a bulging of the narrow side and by the spreading of the metal strand within the strand guide, as well as by the thermal shrinkage of the Metal strand from the pouring mirror until it reaches room temperature.
- the cause of the change in width of the continuously cast metal strand lies in the ferrostatic load of the liquid melt in the interior of the metal strand.
- the tendency of the increase of a width due to the ferrostatic load is substantially greater than the counteracting shrinkage, which results from the density change of the metal strand as a result of its temperature decrease or -kühlkühlung.
- the expansion of a continuously cast metal strand or a slab formed therefrom ie the resulting width in the fully solidified state in comparison to the width at which the metal strand leaves the exit opening of the mold depends on the type of steel used. Both For most steels, the spread is greater than the shrinkage, with the exception of very hard steels (eg C100) where this is reversed. Furthermore, the spread is strongly dependent on the geometry of the metal strand. This manifests itself in the fact that thick metal strands have a much stronger preparation than thin metal strands.
- the invention is based on the essential finding that it is possible with the calculation based on the Breitungsmodells to determine the actual width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom, which adjusts itself at the end of the continuous casting, exactly.
- the calculation in the Breitungsmodell takes place in dependence on at least one calculation parameter, which may be a process parameter of the casting process and / or a material-specific size.
- a control signal is generated by the computing device, with which an actuator is controlled, which with the at least one narrow side of the mold is in operative connection. As a result, then said setting of the mold narrow side.
- end of the continuous casting plant is also to be understood in terms of time. In other words, this is a point in time at which the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom is completely cooled, in which case no further change in the width of the cast product occurs. In this regard, it is irrelevant whether the metal strand is already separated into a slab. In any case, with the Breitungsmodell according to the present invention, a resulting width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom is calculated, namely for a time when the metal strand or the slab have cooled so far that their width assumes a constant value.
- the width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom can be calculated exactly at the end of the continuous casting.
- a measurement of the width of the metal strand or a slab by a measuring device is not necessary here.
- the possibly variable boundary conditions during the continuous casting process e.g. As a result of using another type of steel, changing the geometry of the metal strand or changing the cooling conditions or the like, can be detected solely by the at least one calculation parameter, depending on the Breitungsmodell the width of the metal strand or a slab is calculated.
- the spreading of the metal strand or of a slab formed therefrom is calculated as a function of at least one calculation parameter in the spreading model, whereby this calculation parameter at least the physical properties of the material of the metal strand, the temperature of the metal in the mold, the casting speed of the metal strand, the overheating and / or the geometry of the metal strand comprises.
- this one calculation parameter can be determined during the continuous casting process in real time ("online"), whereby rapid reactions to possible process changes are ensured.
- the employment of the Kokillen narrow side is thus based on the Breitungsmodells, for the u. a. the temperature measurements in the narrow sides of the mold and the heat flows discharged via the chill cooling water can be taken into account for all sides of the mold. Furthermore, the water supply to the mold narrow sides can be predetermined for the secondary cooling.
- the width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom can be determined at at least one measuring point, using a measuring device suitable for this purpose.
- the measuring point is located at a predetermined and preferably small distance from the outlet opening of the mold. This means that the measuring point either within the strand guide of a continuous casting plant is in its upper part, preferably at a distance of 4 - 12 meters to the outlet opening of the mold. More preferably, this distance can also be 5-8 meters. Additionally or alternatively, it is also possible to arrange the measuring point at the end of the continuous casting or outside thereof.
- the width at the measuring point By measuring the width at the measuring point, it is thus possible to determine the width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom, i. the change in the width of the metal strand or a slab at this measuring point in comparison to the width of the metal strand has at the outlet opening of the mold determined.
- the resulting measured value, which is recorded at the at least one measuring point is then passed to the computing device, and then taken into account for the calculation with the Breitungsmodell.
- the measured value which is recorded by the measuring device at the measuring point for the width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom then serves as a further calculation parameter for the calculation in the spreading model.
- the Breitungsmodell comprises a thermodynamic model and a mathematical-physical model, these models are coupled together. Specifically, by means of the thermodynamic model, temperatures and strand shell thicknesses of the metal strand are determined at each position of the metal strand in the continuous casting plant. By means of the mathematical - physical model, a creep of the metal strand is determined. Preferably, the values calculated by the thermodynamic model for the subsequent calculation by the mathematical-physical model are taken into account here.
- thermodynamic model By coupling the thermodynamic model to the mathematical-physical model, it is thus possible to calculate the propagation for the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom in order, on the basis of this and, as explained, to set at least one narrow side of the mold, taking into account a predetermined setpoint for the width.
- a narrow side of the mold is understood that either a distance of this narrow side over its entire length with respect to the opposite narrow side of the mold is changed, d. H. is increased or decreased, wherein an angle of the surface of this narrow side remains unchanged with respect to the vertical.
- a surface of this at least one narrow side of the mold in the course of said setting can also be changed with respect to a vertical, whereby the angle of the surface of this narrow side is changed with respect to the vertical.
- the narrow side is "tilted” with respect to the vertical. This is also referred to as "taping" in the field of continuous casting.
- the present invention it is possible, the always occurring in the continuous casting of a metal strand in the course of the continuous casting process by calculating the width, which is expected at the end of the continuous casting, and a corresponding adjustment of the width of the mold, ie by changing the distance the narrow sides of the mold, suitable to compensate, so that in particular at the end of the continuous casting, when there the metal strand is already cooled, to ensure an accurate measure of the width of the cooled metal strand.
- the adjustment of at least one narrow side of the mold during the production process z. B. to changed process parameters and / or other materials from which the metal strand is poured, can be adjusted. This then leads to considerable material savings and to a shortened production time.
- a computing device for the calculation of the width of the metal strand at the end of the continuous casting a computing device is provided, which is provided with the Breitungsmodell, wherein the width, which has been calculated for the metal strand at the end of the continuous casting, is then compared by means of the computing device with a predetermined target value. Based on this and depending on the calculated for the end of the continuous casting width of the metal strand is then set as explained above, the at least one narrow side of the mold. It is advantageous in this case if the computing device is operated in such a way that the setting of the at least one narrow side of the mold is regulated as a function of the calculated width for the end of the continuous casting machine, ie. H. by providing a corresponding control loop in the computing device. Such a regulation of the employment of the at least one narrow side can react very quickly to changes during the production process during the continuous casting of a metal strand, for example to changed temperatures of the molten metal and / or to changed casting speeds.
- state changes of the entire metal strand in a thermodynamic model are calculated in a mathematical simulation model, including a heat conduction equation. On the basis of this, it is then possible to draw conclusions about the temperature of the metal strand along the continuous casting plant, and thus in the casting direction of the metal strand.
- the Breitungsmodell preferably formed by a coupling of a thermodynamic model with a mathematical-physical model, and the information about the casting process, the course of the propagation of the metal strand within the strand guide and in particular for the end of a continuous casting plant can be calculated with great accuracy.
- process changes such as the casting temperature or casting speed or the secondary cooling and immediately initiate a width adjustment of the mold. This is ensured by calculating the differential changes for the occurring process variations in the Breitungs model. If such process changes occur, the change in the width to be expected can now be directed very quickly to the width setting as "feedforward control".
- the adjustment of the at least one narrow side of the mold can also be effected as a function of the temperature of the molten metal within the mold.
- the temperature of the metal within the mold is detected by the temperature of at least one side wall of the mold, preferably characterized in that drawn by the heat flows through the Kokillenkühlement at least one Kokillenseite a conclusion on the temperature of the liquid metal within the mold.
- the width of the metal strand in individual cross-sectional segments along the Casting direction are calculated.
- the Breitungsmodell or its mathematical-physical model, take into account a creep.
- the so-called simplified Garofalo creep approach is suitable or proven.
- the Breitungsmodell is generally a creep for the secondary creep in the solidified part of the metal strand suitable.
- material-specific parameters of the metal strand and / or the process temperature of the metal strand during continuous casting are taken into account when using the Breitungsmodells and Kriechensatzes for secondary creep. This is preferably done "on-line” and thus in real-time during the continuous casting process to allow for rapid adjustments to eventual process changes.
- a shrinkage of the metal strand along the casting direction can be taken into account in the Breitungsmodell.
- its shrinkage can preferably be calculated in individual cross-sectional segments along the casting direction, which leads to a high degree of accuracy of calculation.
- a setting and / or pitch for the at least one narrow side of the mold can be determined on the basis of the Breitungsmodells. This is particularly the case of a planned change in the casting speed with which the metal strand is potted will, benefit.
- the employment of the at least one narrow side of the mold, and possibly also the employment speed selected for this purpose can be calculated as a function of an overheating of the liquid metal, a secondary cooling and / or an analysis change.
- the temperature of the melt or the liquid metal within the mold or in the upstream Thundish be permanently determined or calculated by means of a ladle and distributor model. By temporary temperature measurements of the melt in the pan or in a distributor, the ladle and distributor model is adapted.
- an apparatus for adjusting the width of a continuous metal casting by a mold in a continuous casting machine comprising a computing device in which a latitudinal model is arranged and based on which, depending on at least one calculation parameter, the width the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom is calculated at the end of the continuous casting plant and compared with a predetermined desired value, wherein the computing device subsequently generates a control signal.
- the device further comprises a standing with at least one narrow side of the mold operatively connected actuator which can be controlled by the control signal to adjust at least one narrow side of the mold.
- At least one measuring device can be provided, with which a width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom at a measuring point, which is arranged at a predetermined distance to the outlet opening of the mold, can be measured.
- the measuring device can either be arranged within the strand guide of the continuous casting plant in its upper part and preferably at a small distance to the mold bottom edge, or at the end of the continuous casting plant or outside thereof. It can also be provided two measuring devices, one of which as explained within the strand guide, and the other are located at the end of the continuous caster or outside thereof.
- the provision of at least one measuring device leads to a further improved accuracy with respect to the determination of the propagation of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom.
- Another advantage of such a measuring device arises in the event when along the continuous casting unforeseen disorders such as with the cooling water supply or similar. should occur - by the measuring device, in particular in an arrangement at the end of the continuous casting or outside of it, then it is possible in such a fault case to measure the actual width of the metal strand or a slab formed therefrom at the end of the continuous casting process, then at least as explained adjust a narrow side in the mold accordingly. As a result, then the disturbances can be compensated, at least temporarily, for example, to finish ordered a production cycle.
- the metal strand shrinks.
- the width of the continuously cast metal strand increases during the casting process within the strand guide of a continuous casting plant, namely because of the ferrostatic load within the metal strand and as a result of creep of the material or creep process within the metal strand.
- the spread may be greater than the shrinkage by a few factors.
- the propagation effect is also dependent on the material or the liquid metal to be cast and its solidification structure, the ferrostatic load, as well as process parameters, such as casting speed, superheating secondary cooling and the strand thickness
- the present invention aims to calculate the resulting expansion of a continuously cast metal strand, possibly also taking into account its shrinkage, in particular for the end of a continuous casting plant, in order to adjust at least one narrow side of a mold of the continuous casting plant accordingly. This is particularly important in the case when the width of the metal strand or of slabs formed therefrom after cooling must be within a narrow tolerance specified by the customer.
- the temperature distribution for a continuously cast metal strand depends, inter alia, on the enthalpy curve, which can be calculated, for example, on the basis of Gibbs energies.
- This temperature distribution is in the diagram of Fig. 1 represented, namely over the strand length and as a function of the distance from the casting mirror. In each case, the temperatures in the strand center are shown on the surface and in the core. In addition, the average temperature is shown.

- a measuring device 100 may be provided at the measuring point 102 and / or at the measuring point 104 in order there to determine the width of the metal strand 10 (at the measuring point 102) or the width of the metal strand 10 or a slab (FIG the measuring point 104). With the width measurement by the measuring device 100 can thus be determined a change in the width of the metal strand 10 or a slab at the respective measuring point 102, 104 compared to the width of the metal strand 10 at the outlet opening 132 of the mold 130, and then with a predetermined setpoint for the width of the metal strand 10 or a slab formed therefrom. In this case, the measured value generated by the measuring device 100 then forms for the width of the metal strand 10 or a slab formed therefrom another calculation parameter for the calculation in the Breitungsmodell BM.
- a bulge II of the metal strand 10 can be minimized, possibly in conjunction with a suitable adaptation of the water cooling in the secondary cooling 22, and possibly in conjunction with a Adaptation of a cooling of the narrow sides 134 of the mold 130.
- Fig. 7 shows a diagram for defining the width proportion of the metal strand 10 at the position of the measuring point 102, for example, for two different casting speeds (with v1> v2). It can be seen that the increase in width decreases steadily with increasing distance from the casting mirror or from the outlet opening 132 of the mold 130 and, for example, does not increase any further at a distance of 15 meters from the casting mirror or proceeds from there to constant.
- Fig. 8 shows a diagram illustrating the course of the propagation of the metal strand 10 within the strand guide in the continuous casting 20 of Fig. 2 , where the graph G1 represents the spread and the graph G2 represents the shrinkage of the metal strand 10.
- Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 In each case diagrams are shown, with which the calculation of the expansion of the metal strand 10 based on the Breitungsmodells according to the present invention is illustrated, this being for a variation of the casting speed ( Fig. 9 , with v1> v2) or for a variation of overheating ( Fig. 10 , with overheating H1> overheating H2).
- FIG. 12 is a flow chart illustrating the above-described aspects of the present invention again.
- the parameters a, b, c and d shown herein, which govern the mathematical-physical model MPM, may be the parameters of the Garofalo approach and its regression coefficients.
