Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a strand guide in a continuous casting plant for the casting of liquid metals.
- the invention relates to a corresponding strand guide.
- the invention is limited to strand guides in segmental design.
- a particular problem in the casting of liquid metals is the occurrence of bulges on the surface of the freshly poured casting strands, also called dynamic bulging. This problem occurs especially when casting at high casting speeds, i. H. at high mass flows.
- the problem is basically known in the art and there are various approaches to prevent or at least reduce the said undesirable bulges.
- the publication EP 0 946 318 B1 recommends to avoid vibrations of the casting mirror, a shift of roles of the upper frame relative to the subframe with an offset in a size between 10% and 50% of a roller pitch.
- the strand guide rollers of Subframe along the strand infinitely variable positionable.
- the bulge on the cast strand is advantageously smaller than in the case of guide rollers arranged opposite one another.
- the said displacement takes place only once before each casting operation, but not during a casting operation. A temporal change of the roller distances or the upper frame relative to the subframe during the casting operation does not take place.
- the distances of the roller segments are determined on the basis of a previously determined optimum for maximum damping of all bulging effects.
- a variable casting speed is also taken into account in determining the roll distances.
- the optimized distances can also be increased or decreased in an irregular sequence during the casting operation. Due to the succession of constantly changing support rollers, the Badadorschwankept be advantageously minimized or avoided altogether.
- the strand guide rollers known in the art have a diameter of 100 to 300 mm.
- German patent application DE 2036266 discloses a continuous casting plant with a continuous casting mold and these downstream supporting rollers, between which spray nozzles of a water cooling are directed onto the strand.
- a first zone of the roller guide with the associated spray nozzles is independently of the mold in the strand direction at a multiple of the strand speed oscillating movable, wherein the oscillation corresponds to at least half the center distance of the support rollers.
- the present invention seeks to provide an alternative method for operating a strand guide in a continuous casting plant for the casting of liquid metals and a corresponding alternative strand guide To provide, or at least to reduce undesirable vibrations in the bath level of the liquid metal in the mold.
- the claimed oscillation advantageously reduces or preferably avoids fluctuations in the bath level in the mold.
- the oscillation causes a homogenization of the casting conditions, in particular breakthroughs and massive quality deviations in the cast casting strand are avoided.
- FIG. 1 shows the strand guide 120 according to the invention in a continuous casting plant 100.
- the continuous casting plant comprises a mold 110, in which the liquid metal, in particular a steel material is cast into a cast strand.
- the strand guide 120 adjoins the mold 110 in the casting direction G and serves to transfer the casting strand from the typically vertically oriented mold 110 into the horizontal.
- the strand guide 120 according to the invention has at least one roller segment 130, but typically a plurality of such roller segments 130, which are arranged one behind the other in the casting direction.
- FIG. 2 It shows the typical structure of a roller segment 130 according to the invention. It consists of an upper frame 132 on which a plurality of strand guide rollers 136 are rotatably mounted.
- the roller segment 130 has a lower frame 134 on which a plurality of strand guide rollers 136 are also rotatably mounted.
- Both the strand guide rollers of the upper frame as well as the strand guide rollers of the subframe are each fixedly spaced from each other to the frame. Their diameters d are between 95 and 400 mm, wherein within a segment, the strand guide rollers typically each have a same diameter.
- the upper frame 132 and / or the lower frame 134 is associated with an oscillation device 140 for oscillating the upper frame and / or the lower frame in the casting direction G.
- Said oscillation of the upper frame with the strand guide rollers rotatably mounted thereon preferably takes place with a fixed, ie non-oscillating, subframe.
- the subframe with the aid of the oscillator 140 in an oscillation in or against the casting direction are offset, preferably with a stationary upper frame 132.
- both the subframe and the upper frame oscillate, either synchronously or not synchronous.
- the amplitude of the oscillation of the upper frame 132 and / or the lower frame 134 is preferably between 0 and 50 mm. In this case, the size of the amplitude of the oscillation can be adjusted as a function of the casting speed.
- the casting speed V g during which the oscillation takes place is preferably between 0.17 m / min. and 8 m / min., more preferably it is however, in particular V g > 6 m / min.
- the mass flow of the cast strand is preferably at m > 3.5 t / min / m.
- the oscillation may, for example, be sinusoidal or trapezoidal.
- the adjustment of the amplitude or the frequency of the oscillation takes place independently of the current position of the bulge on the cast strand.
- the oscillation takes place in a roller segment, which is arranged in a horizontal region of the strand guide.

Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung eine entsprechende Strangführung. Die Erfindung ist auf Strangführungen in Segmentbauweise beschränkt.The invention relates to a method for operating a strand guide in a continuous casting plant for the casting of liquid metals. In addition, the invention relates to a corresponding strand guide. The invention is limited to strand guides in segmental design.
Ein besonderes Problem beim Gießen von flüssigen Metallen ist das Auftreten von Ausbauchungen auf der Oberfläche der frisch gegossenen Gießstränge, auch dynamisches Bulging genannt. Dieses Problem tritt insbesondere beim Gießen mit hohen Gießgeschwindigkeiten, d. h. bei hohen Massenflüssen auf. Das Problem ist im Stand der Technik grundsätzlich bekannt und es gibt verschiedene Ansätze, um die besagten unerwünschten Ausbauchungen zu verhindern bzw. zumindest zu reduzieren.A particular problem in the casting of liquid metals is the occurrence of bulges on the surface of the freshly poured casting strands, also called dynamic bulging. This problem occurs especially when casting at high casting speeds, i. H. at high mass flows. The problem is basically known in the art and there are various approaches to prevent or at least reduce the said undesirable bulges.
