The requirements for the flexible operation of thin slab casting rolling mills (CSP plants) are constantly increasing. It is desirable that various operating conditions are adjustable. The adaptation, for example, to the rolled finished strip thickness or the casting speed is also from quality and

Energy consumption reasons desirable.

Thin slab casting rolling mills for rolling single bands or for continuous rolling are already well mentioned in the prior art. For example, reference is made to DE 195 18 144 C2, to EP 0 889 762 B1, to EP 0 870 553 B1, to EP 1 960 131 B1, to WO 2009/012963 A1 and to EP 2 569 104 B1 ,

However, the previously known solutions sometimes have disadvantages in terms of flexibility.

The invention is therefore based on the invention of further developing a method of the type mentioned above in such a way that an increased degree of flexibility is possible; In doing so, it is intended to be able to react flexibly, in particular to different operating conditions. The proposed system concept and mode of operation should therefore be characterized by a high degree of flexibility.

The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that at least one of the following operating modes is selected for the production of the strip: a) continuous rolling, in which the casting machine, the roughing train and the

Finishing line are operatively connected to each other and the rolling of the material is carried out with pourer mass flow, the finished tapes are separated at the coiler by means of the third pair of scissors; an endless rolling in the roughing train in which the casting machine and the roughing train are operatively connected to each other and rolling the material with pouring mass flow, as well as a single belt rolling (batch operation) in the finishing train, wherein the pre-belts rolled in the roughing train for the single strip rolling in the finishing train are separated by means of the second pair of scissors; c) a single belt rolling (batch mode) in the roughing and a

Single belt rolling (batch operation) in the finishing train, wherein the slabs produced in the casting machine for the single strip rolling in the roughing train and in the finishing train are separated by means of the first pair of scissors; a semi-endless rolling in the roughing train and / or a semi-endless rolling in the finishing train, wherein the slabs produced in the casting machine for semi-endless rolling in the roughing are separated by means of the first scissors and / or wherein the pre-straightened in the roughing mill for the semi-endless rolls are separated in the finishing line by means of the second pair of scissors, wherein the finished strips are separated at the coiler by means of the third pair of scissors. At least one slab is preferably placed in the first furnace and / or in the first roll-partitioning section. Also in the second furnace and / or in the second Rollgangsdämmstrecke preferably at least one slab or a sliver is placed. The abovementioned operating modes a), b), c) and / or d) can be selected as a function of the final thickness of the strip.

It is also possible for the operating modes a), b), c) and / or d) to be selected as a function of the starting process of the cast rolling mill. Furthermore, it is possible for the operating modes a), b), c) and / or d) to be selected as a function of a roll change taking place in the roughing train and / or in the finishing train. First, one of the above operating modes is selected and the production is then carried out with this mode; Accordingly, only one of the named options a), b), c) or d) is realized at a given time. However, in succession, a change between the different ones may also be mentioned

Operating modes done.

The mean slab temperature at the outlet of the first furnace is preferably at least 1000 ° C., more preferably at least 1100 ° C.

The mean pre-strip temperature at the outlet of the second furnace is preferably at least 1100 ° C., more preferably at least 1150 ° C.

A further development provides that the degree of deformation of the band in the

Finishing line is: ε = (h _v -h _F ) / h _v x 100> 96% with h _v as the pre-strip thickness and h _F as the finished strip thickness. Especially in this case, it is preferably provided that the mean pre-strip temperature at the outlet of the second furnace is at least 1150 ° C., the product of the thickness of the strip (h _B ) and the speed of the strip (v _B ) being at least 350 mm / min, preferably at least 500 mm m / min.

Advantageous rolling becomes possible when the number of rolling stands in the finishing train is selected according to the relationship:

2,316 xh _B xv _B xe ^(" ° ^{167 xn)} > 480 m / min mm With:

n: number of stands in the finishing train

h _B : thickness of the slab in mm

v _B : slab speed in m / min

It is preferably provided that in the described procedure, an inductive heating of the slab and / or the pre-strip does not occur.

The temperature in the last active stand of the finishing train is preferably above the γ-α-phase conversion, in particular above 820 ° C.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. The single figure shows schematically the side view of a 1-strand casting and rolling plant for the production of a strip.

The proposed thin slab casting rolling mill concept consists of the following main components, which result from the figure:

The cast roll plant 2 for the production of the strip 1 initially has a

Casting machine 3 on. In the conveying direction F of the material behind the casting machine 3, a first furnace 4 is arranged, on the first furnace 4 follows in the conveying direction F a roughing train 5, which has a number of rolling stands R1 and R2. Behind the roughing 5 is followed by a second oven 6, in turn, a finishing train 7 with several

Roll stands F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 follows. Behind the finishing train 7 is a

Cooling section 8 is arranged, followed by a reel 9.

Between the caster 3 and the first furnace 4, a first scissors S1 is arranged. A second pair of scissors S2 is located behind the roughing train 5 and in front of the second furnace 6. A third pair of scissors S3 is finally located just before the reel 9.

In the first furnace 4 and / or in the first Rollgangsdämmstrecke finds at least a single slab space; the at least one individual slab is also provided in FIG the area between the first scissors S1 and the first rolling mill R1 of the roughing road 5 fits. The roughing 5 preferably consists of 1 to 4 stands, with two scaffolds being particularly preferably provided. The second furnace 6 or / and the second roll-passage insulation section behind the roughing train 5 is designed such that at least one individual preliminary strip fits into its horizontal position or extent or at least one single preliminary strip fits into the area between the second shear S2 and the first rolling stand F1 of the

Finishing mill 7 fits. The finishing train 7 consists mostly of 1 to 7 stands, preferably 4 to 6 stands are provided.

The first scissors S1 is a slitter scissors for separating the slabs leaving the casting machine 3. The second scissors S2 is a Vorbandschere to

Separating the pre-bands behind the roughing 5 and is preferably arranged in front of the second furnace 6. Finally, the third pair of scissors S3 is a band shears for separating the bands in front of the reel 9.

Accordingly, the three shears S1, S2 and S3 are provided to realize the above-mentioned different operation modes.

In the cast rolling mill 1, preferably no rapid heating (eg in the form of an induction heating) is provided, which is advantageous when using less expensive gas and from an energy point of view. Instead of the first furnace 4 and / or the second furnace 6 (for example, and preferably in the form of a roller hearth furnace) can alternatively Rollgangsdämmstrecken

be provided, in which at least one single slab or a single

Cantilever takes place; In this case, an induction heater can also be optionally arranged behind said roller-track insulation sections. An arrangement of furnace parts and Rollgangsdämmstrecken in any order and combination before and / or behind the roughing is possible. The length of the first furnace (4) or the first roll insulation or an array of first furnace parts (4) and Rollgangsdämmstrecken in any order and combination behind the first scissors (S1) is preferably shorter than the length of the second furnace (6) or the second Rollgangsdämmstrecke or an arrangement of second oven parts (6) and Rollgangsdämmstrecken in any order and combination behind the second pair of scissors (S2).

A single slab or a single sliver is so long that it can be rolled or produced from a coil with typical produced ring weight.

The cast rolling mill (CSP plant) can be operated very flexibly by optimized operation of the main components mentioned. There are

various operating modes in the roughing, in the finishing line or in the

Complete system practicable:

According to the above-mentioned process mode a), an endless rolling in the roughing train 5 and a continuous rolling in the finishing train 7 are first possible, ie. H. In this case, the casting machine 3 and the roughing and finishing line 5, 7 are interconnected. It is rolled with the caster mass flow and separated the bands on the reel 9 with the third scissors S3.

In accordance with the abovementioned process mode b), it is also possible to carry out continuous rolling in the roughing mill 5 with pouring mass flow and single strip rolling (batch operation) in the finishing train 7. In this case, the individual pre-bands are separated on the second pair of scissors S2. The mass flow in the finishing train 7 is higher in rolling than in the roughing 5 or connected casting machine 3. This results in a combination of advantages of endless rolling in the relevant first stands with relatively high degrees of deformation and a better Vorbandgeometrie head and foot with the advantages Batch rolling in the finishing train 7 and the achievable higher final rolling temperatures. According to the above-mentioned process mode c) is still a

Single strip rolling (batch mode) in the roughing 5 and a single strip rolling (batch mode) in the finishing line 7 possible. In this case, the individual slabs are separated at the first scissors S1. The roughing train 5 and the finishing train 7 are both operated during the rolling process with higher mass flow than the

Casting Machine 3. The temperature control can by an individual

Speed selection of the rolling mills are arbitrarily influenced.

Finally, according to the abovementioned process mode d), further operation is possible: If the first furnace 4 and the second furnace 6 are the distances between the first scissors S1 and the rolling stand R1 of the roughing train 5 or / and second scissors S2 and rolling mill stand F1 of FIG Mill 7 dimensioned so that they can accommodate more than one slab (for example, 2 or 3 slabs), then a semi-endless band rolling of the first furnace 4 and / or the second furnace 6 and the corresponding plant lines is possible. Then a first separation of the semi-endless slabs on the first scissors S1 or semi-endless slivers on the second scissors S2 and a final division into individual bands with the third scissors S3 in front of the reel 9. Depending on the final thickness or when starting the plant (at the casting start) or before a roll change or for reasons of temperature, the various operating modes can be selected and adjusted. A warming of the rolling plants can, for. B. done in batch mode on roughing and finishing line. Then, first, a switch to the endless mode in the roughing street can be performed. With thinner tapes (preferably at thicknesses of less than or equal to 1, 2 mm) offers an endless belt rolling for the roughing and finishing line. If a roll change is planned only in the finishing mill, it is switched to batch mode for the finishing mill. In order to obtain the change time for the work roll change in the finishing train, is advantageously rolled with increased belt speed and / or temperature speed-up in the finishing train and / or the casting speed and Rolling speed reduced in the roughing. In order to compensate for different slab and / or pre-strip temperatures over the strip length during batch rolling and to produce as constant as possible finished strip temperatures behind the finishing train, the roughing and / or the finishing train are operated with temperature-speed-up or it is alternatively the amount of water at least one inter-frame cooling changed accordingly.

An extension of the flexibility is possible with the proposed system. The proposed continuous casting plant (CSP plant) is characterized by various advantageous technical facilities and operating conditions:

There is an optimal arrangement of slab cleaning (or descaling) at the outlet of the casting machine 3 (less than 2 m) behind the last strand of roll before. Alternatively, the slab is cleaned (descaled) between the last two pairs of string rolls.

Advantageously, a Rollgangsdämmung between the casting machine 3 or

Slab cleaning up to the entrance of the first furnace 4. In the area of the first scissors S1, the insulation can be swiveled in. This will be the energy or

Temperature losses in this transport area minimized.

Preference is given to the use of compactly constructed single-row descaling bars with minimized specific descaling water quantity V _spec with the following

Condition:

V _spec in m ³ / h / m <600 xv, preferably V _spec in m ³ / h / m <450 xv with v as the transport speed of the rolling or cast product in the range of the scale washer in m / s ("x" is the multiplication sign). The active finishing stand number n is preferably adapted to the finished strip thickness h _F. The following approximation equation is used for this: n> 5 xh _F ^{"0 6}

This means that for thicker end strip thicknesses starting with the last finishing stands, 1, 2 or 3 stands are set up in order to obtain a correct finished strip finish rolling temperature. In order to produce a good strip quality, the strip cooling is preferably started already inside the finishing line behind the last active stand. Pyrometers between the last finishing stands monitor the setting of the correct final rolling temperature and are used for control purposes.

The respective first oven 4 or / and second oven 6 or equivalent

Rolling areas with insulation can be divided into different areas (in the longitudinal direction), so that slabs or slab parts or / and Vorbänder or

Vorbandteile can be carried out. As a result, z. B. created buffer times, simply disposed of the cold string or the elimination of disturbances are simplified. In addition, flame cutting machines can be provided in front of and / or behind the furnace parts.

The average slab temperature (defined as averaged over the thickness in the middle) at the outlet of the first oven 4 is> 1,000 ° C, preferably> 1,100 ° C. The mean pre-strip temperature at the exit from the second furnace 6 is>

1,100 ° C, preferably.; 1,150 ° C.

By a high-forming (total finishing train forming) £ = (h _v - h _F) / h _v x 100> 96% (with h _v = pre-strip thickness, h _F = finished strip thickness) in the finishing mill combined with a high pre-strip temperature of> 1,150 ° C (exiting the second furnace 6) and a high mass flow in m / min mm of h _B xv _B ϊ 350 m / min mm (preferably h _B xv _B ϊ 500 m / min mm) or generally with the condition depending on the

scaffolding number

2.316 xh _B xv _B xe ^(" ° ^{167 xn)} > 480 m / min mm

(With n = number of frames, h _B = slab thickness mm, v _B = slab speed m / min) can also be dispensed with inductive reheating within the finishing train usually in continuous rolling and the system can be operated advantageously, so that the

Reforming in the last active finishing stand above the γ-α phase transformation (e.g.

820 ° C) takes place. Optionally, inductive heating within the finishing train between finishing stands for continuous or semi-continuous rolling operation is intended to set higher final rolling temperatures (e.g.,> 850 ° C) and / or to selectively influence the mechanical finish tape properties and / or at low casting speeds.

Also advantageous is a high deformation in the finishing train (definition see above) with effective nip lubrication preferably on all stands (optional except last active finishing stand), which achieve a rolling force reduction due to lubrication of> 10% per scaffold.

The transition from continuous rolling in batch rolling can be done by cutting on the first shear S1 without a transition wedge. The first shear S1 cuts and the finish rolling of the endless slab is carried out without changing the setup in the rolling stands R1 / R2 of the roughing mill 5. By either reducing the

Casting speed and / or accelerating the endless slab rolling a gap is drawn, which allows the rolling stand R1 and / or the rolling stand R2 to pierce the follow-up ram with a new set-up. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
