Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for the contactless determination of the speed distribution of a melt volume in a continuous casting mold.
- the flow of the melt within the continuous casting mold has a decisive influence on the quality of the cast strand.
- the flow of the melt within the mold should, for example, allow foreign substances and impurities to rise to the free surface of the melt. This is achieved by a flow with a so-called double roller or double vortex structure.
- knowledge of the current flow is therefore of enormous importance in order to influence the flow in a targeted manner with regard to an increase in quality in the cast product.
- Direct methods are, for example, the nail board method [Thomas2001], force measurement with the rod method [Gardin1996], Karman vortex method [Iguchi1999] or the melting ball method [Mikrovas1993].
- These methods are invasive, i.e. the nail board, the rod, the melting balls or the Karman vortex probe are immersed in the melt and sometimes enable only one-time measurements.
- these measurements mostly only allow statements to be made about locally existing flows, which only permit poorly precise conclusions to be drawn about the total flow of interest in the melt. Further disadvantages of the methods are the partly poor temporal resolution.
- Indirect methods are based, for example, on temperature measurement using fiber Bragg sensors. These sensors embedded in the mold wall enable contactless measurement of the temperature with good temporal resolution and measurement at a large number of measuring points [Seden2016] Conclusions can be drawn about certain components of the mold flow from the measured temperature distribution. The disadvantage is that the measurement takes place with a time delay due to the necessary thermal diffusion in the mold wall and direct intervention in the mold wall is necessary
- WO 00 51 763 A1 discloses a method for determining the flow structure of a steel melt in a mold and a device for measuring the temperature in a copper mold plate.
- the temperature of the copper plate on the broad side of the mold is measured at several points.
- the disadvantage is that the temperature signal with relative large inertia follows a change in the speed of the melt and requires direct intervention in the copper plate of the mold.
- DE 43 16 344 A1 discloses a flow measuring device for contactless detection of the velocities of electrically conductive liquid media. The interaction between a magnetic primary field and inhomogeneous or unsteady flow components is used. The primary field is generated by coils or permanent magnets. The interaction is recorded by at least two magnetic field measuring components and the flow velocity and / or direction is determined from this.
- US 5 426 983 A discloses a flow meter and an arrangement for flow measurement for the contactless measurement of the speed of an electrically conductive fluid.
- the interaction between a magnetic field and inhomogeneous or non-stationary flow patterns is used.
- the arrangement for flow measurement comprises a flow path, a device for generating a magnetic field within the flow path, wherein the magnetic field extends substantially perpendicular to the flow path and has at least one gradient along the flow path, and at least two devices for measuring the magnetic field, which are spaced from one another downstream of the flow path are arranged and measure the gradient field perpendicular to the flow path.
- the speed of the electrically conductive fluid is calculated directly from the time offset between successive, characteristic signals and the distance between the measuring devices.
- the disadvantage is that a large number of measuring devices are required for meaningful measurements.
- WO 00 58 695 A1 discloses a method and a device for measuring at least one parameter of a metal layer, such as the speed of a metal layer in motion, it being possible for the metal to be in solid or liquid form. The method is based on the measurement of forces that arise from flow-induced eddy currents under the influence of an externally applied magnetic field. The disadvantage is that although local flow velocities are determined in the immediate vicinity of the sensor, no overall picture of the flow can be determined.
- EP 1 192 019 B1 discloses a method for measuring the flow rate and an arrangement for regulating the continuous casting rate of a molten metal in a mold which is equipped with an electromagnetic sliding field brake.
- the voltage or current with which the sliding field brake is supplied is measured and conclusions can be drawn about the flow velocity of the molten metal.
- the disadvantage of this process is that its use is limited to continuous casting processes that work with a sliding field brake.
- Another disadvantage is the very poor spatial resolution of the method, since the flow velocity is determined from only one measured variable.
- DE 100 26 052 B4 discloses a method and an arrangement for the contactless determination of the speed distribution in non-spherical electrically conductive liquids.

- the disadvantage of this arrangement is that tilting the alignment of the magnetic field sensors with respect to the pair of coils generating the magnetic field leads to an interference signal which adversely affects the measurement. Furthermore, at least two pairs of coils are always required to generate a magnetic field.
- DE 10 2008 055 034 A1 discloses a method and an arrangement for the contactless determination of the speed distribution of a liquid metal in a slab continuous casting mold.
