Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for continuous casting.
- a device for continuous casting typically comprises a mold and a strand guide with a plurality of strand guide rollers, which is arranged downstream of the mold in the casting direction.
- liquid metal in particular liquid steel
- a device for primary cooling so that a cast strand with an initially still liquid core but already solidified, load-bearing strand shell is formed inside the mold.
- the cast strand After the cast strand has left the mold with a stable shell, it is guided within the downstream strand guide and cooled by means of a device for secondary cooling until it is finally completely solidified.
- the solidification length indicates the length of the metal strand from the exit from the mold to the location of the device for continuous casting at which the cast strand has completely solidified.
- the guide within the strand guide takes place between opposite strand guide rollers, the cast strand typically being bent over from the vertical to the horizontal.
- the solidified, continuous cast strand is regularly divided into individual slabs, thin slabs, billets or blooms at the outlet of the device for continuous casting.
- the JP 2014 037001 A proposed to determine the degree of solidification of a cast strand using a heat transfer model taking into account the cooling conditions of the secondary cooling.
- the temperature distribution in the width direction of the cast strand is measured with a thermometer.
- a surface of the cast strand is recorded with a camera and the temperature distribution is determined based on the brightness distribution of the recorded image.
- WO 2017/144481 A1 discloses an array of nozzles for applying coolant to the cast strand. This is intended for installation in roller gaps between two strand guide rollers.
- the known nozzle row arrangement has nozzles with different control ratios. The control ratio indicates how far the volume flow of the coolant discharged by means of the nozzle can be reduced compared to the nozzle-specific maximum value without there being a significant change in the jet cone.
- the present invention is consequently based on the object of specifying a method and a device for continuous casting with which the process reliability can be increased and a qualitatively improved semi-finished product can be obtained.
- a method for continuous casting in which a cast strand is cast.
- the cast strand has at least a first and a second surface section.
- At least one thermal image of the cast strand is recorded after secondary cooling of the cast strand by means of a device for secondary cooling.
- the method is characterized in that the at least first and second surface section is recorded with the thermal image (s).
- a first actual temperature of the first surface section of the cast strand is recorded by means of the thermal image or images.
- a second actual temperature of the second surface section of the cast strand is also recorded by means of the thermal image or images.
- a cooling nozzle field of the device for secondary cooling that is assigned to the first surface section is regulated.
- a cooling nozzle field of the device for secondary cooling that is assigned to the second surface section is regulated.
- the determination of the respective actual temperature of several surface sections of the cast strand by means of one or more thermal images after the secondary cooling, in particular at the outlet of the continuous caster, and the targeted influencing of the temperature of these surface sections by the respectively assigned cooling nozzle fields allow a targeted setting of the temperature profile of the cast strand for the subsequent one Machining.
- a homogeneous temperature profile of the cast strand can have a very positive effect on the material properties of the further processed semi-finished product.
- the temperature of individual surface points is determined, but also entire, more or less large surface sections.
- the measuring thermal imager can, for example, have a resolution between 600 x 400 pixels or heat dots and 1650 x 1250 pixels or heat dots, in particular 640 x 480 pixels or heat dots, with which one between half a square meter and one and a half square meters, in particular a one square meter Surface portion of the cast strand can be detected. On the one hand, this allows the effort involved in evaluating the measurement to be kept low.
- the surface sections evaluated by means of the thermal images can have a circular geometry in order to further simplify the evaluation.
- the geometry of the surface sections is freely specified by the user.
- the use of a thermal imaging camera enables the temperature to be measured synchronously at different points on the measured object. In particular with the moving cast strand, a simultaneous measurement of the temperature of different Surface sections of the cast strand guaranteed perpendicular to the conveying direction and the control of the temperature distribution simplified. In contrast to previous temperature measurement methods, the thermal imaging camera can also be suitable for measuring the surface temperature in the presence of fog, water vapor or smoke in the vicinity of the cast strand.
- the cooling nozzle fields can be, for example, sections of one or more of the in the WO 2017/144481 A1 Acting nozzle row arrangements described.
- the water pressure or the volume of water dispensed and, if applicable, the air pressure or the amount of air dispensed by the single-substance nozzles (pure water cooling) or two-substance nozzles (water-air Cooling) can be controlled.
- first and second surface sections are adjacent and the amount of the difference between the first target temperature and the second target temperature is less than 150 Kelvin (
- a good quality of the semi-finished products produced can be obtained in particular with an amount of the difference between the first target temperature and the second target temperature of less than 100 Kelvin (
- a choice of the first and / or second target temperature of more than 800 ° C. can simplify the further processing of the cast strand.
- less energy is required for further processing (for example in a rolling mill) the semi-finished products (for example slabs), since the semi-finished products have to be heated to a lesser extent.
- the first and / or second target temperature is preferably greater than 900 ° C.
- a core temperature of the cast strand is determined by means of the first actual temperature and the second actual temperature.
- the core temperature can provide an indication of the position of the sump tip in the cross-section of the cast strand. This can enable verification of simulation calculations or other metrological methods by converting the measured temperatures.
- an average temperature of the first surface section can be determined as the first actual temperature.
- the use of average temperatures can reduce the risk of the temperature control being influenced by individual extreme values, which e.g. Measurement errors.
- actual temperatures in the form of average, maximum or minimum temperatures can also be determined from the further surface sections.
- the upper side of the cast strand and / or the underside of the cast strand and / or the left side of the cast strand and / or the right side of the cast strand and / or the end face of the cast strand can be detected by means of the thermal image (s).
- a thermal image that records the end face of the cast strand can enable the core temperature of the cast strand to be determined more precisely.
- the core temperature measured on the front side which is the highest temperature that can usually be found in the center of the cross-section, can be an indication of a possible increase in the casting speed. If, for example, a defined maximum limit temperature in the cross-sectional core at the end face of the cast strand, ie the separation point of the separated semi-finished product, of 1200 ° C., for example, is not reached, Casting speed can still be increased safely until this limit is reached. The risk of breaking out (breakthrough of liquid steel on the face, broad side or narrow side) can be reduced in this way while increasing production at the same time.
- one embodiment of the method provides that the casting speed is regulated as a function of the first and / or second actual temperature.
- the secondary cooling can initially be increased, whereby the cross-sectional temperature is reduced in order to subsequently increase the casting speed.
- the productivity of the apparatus for continuous casting can thus be improved.
- a pictorial representation of the temperature profile of the cast strand obtained by means of the method described above can simplify operation, quality assurance and maintenance for the user of the device for continuous casting.
- a device for continuous casting with a device for secondary cooling of a cast strand and with at least one thermal imaging camera for recording at least one thermal image of the cast strand after the device for secondary cooling of the cast strand is proposed, the device for secondary cooling having a first cooling nozzle field which is a first surface section of the cast strand is assigned, and wherein the device for secondary cooling has a second cooling nozzle field which is assigned to a second surface section of the cast strand.
- the device is characterized in that it is set up to record the at least first and second surface section with the thermal image (s), to determine a first actual temperature of the first surface section of the cast strand by means of the thermal image or images, by means of the or the thermal images to determine a second actual temperature of the second surface section of the cast strand, depending on a first difference between the first actual temperature and a first target temperature to regulate a cooling nozzle field of the device for secondary cooling assigned to the first surface section, and depending on the second difference between the second actual temperature and a second target temperature, on the second To regulate surface section associated cooling nozzle field of the device for secondary cooling.
