Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a crystallization apparatus having a plate for continuous casting of slabs and a crystallization apparatus obtained by the method,

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a crystallization apparatus having a plate for continuous casting of slabs used in the steel industry for casting thin, medium and thick slabs whose long sides have a much larger rectangular area than the short sides.

A plurality of channels are provided in the play of the crystallization apparatus through which the cooling liquid is passed.

The present invention also relates to a crystallization apparatus obtained by the above method.

There is known a crystallization apparatus having a plate made of copper alloy for casting a continuous casting, in particular a slab, and two broad walls facing each other to define a pipe having a substantially rectangular portion with substantially two narrow side walls Through which molten metal is continuously cast.

Each of the two wide walls includes at least a plate generally formed on the inner surface to define an outer contour or groove in a length that can occupy part or all of the plate in the central portion. In the upper part, these grooves define the extent of an area where, in use, an unloader with the function of placing molten metal inside the crystallization device can be located.

The concave contour is generally made by a chip-removing operation that involves a series of disadvantages.

First, chip-removing operations are expensive in terms of time and equipment used and include obvious economic disadvantages. Also, sometimes it may be necessary to use different equipment depending on the work step.

In addition, the final surface of the concave contour obtained by the chip-removing operation can have surface defects particularly at the connecting curved surface, so that when the contact between the molten metal and the plate is not optimal during casting, And may cause its possible destruction.

In addition, high work costs can be caused by the first piece to be worked, which is dictated by the larger machining allowance for the final product to be obtained. In other words, the disposal of good materials removed during operation is a significant cost.

In general, these disadvantages determine a rather difficult and costly crystallization apparatus and a method of manufacturing a crystallization apparatus that may have surface defects that affect the final quality of metal product casting.

Methods for producing plates for crystallization devices of slabs are known from the documents EP-A-0.564.860, DE-A-10.2006.033316 and EP-A-1.060.815. This method is generally provided to deform a metal body made of copper to a plasticity, to provide a desired shape of a concave contour to the metal body, and to define the groove of the crystallization apparatus. The method described in this document provides that the shaping is carried out by one or more shaping, quenching or pressing operations using a mobile punch or other similar equipment.

However, by the method described in the above document, it is impossible to obtain a concave contour shape which assures proper accuracy or takes into account resistance required for subsequent use. In fact, the area near the concave contour, that is, the area connecting the flat and bent parts, is the most important part of the plate, the part most affected by the wear caused by the swaying of the casting metal. In order to limit wear, the concave contour of the groove should follow the specification geometric parameters as strictly as possible.

It is known that in order to allow the cooling fluid to pass, a plurality of longitudinal pipes must be made over the entire length of the wide wall.

When longitudinal pipes are made from a wide wall thickness, such longitudinal pipes are somewhat complex to make because they have very precise internal surfaces and require long, expensive operations with appropriate equipment.

It is an object of the present invention to complete a method of manufacturing a crystallization apparatus having a plate for continuous casting of slabs, which makes it possible to obtain a plate for a crystallization apparatus satisfying the dimensional and tolerance constraints required by the specification simply and quickly, Thereby increasing the working life of the machine.

Another object of the present invention is to complete a method of manufacturing a crystallization apparatus for continuous casting of slabs which provides a reduced number of steps and reduces the time and cost of the crystallization apparatus.

Another object of the present invention is to produce a crystallization apparatus for continuous casting which has economic, standardized and repeatable characteristics even in the presence of a specific shape.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce as much as possible the volume of copper or alloy used to manufacture the crystallization apparatus, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

The Applicant has invented, experimented and implemented the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the current state of the art and to achieve these and other objects and advantages.

The invention is described and characterized in the independent claims, and the dependent claims describe modifications to the other features or concepts of the subject invention.

According to this object, the method according to the present invention, which overcomes the limitations of the state of the art and eliminates existing defects, faces each other and is provided with at least one plate each of which is provided with at least two wide walls ≪ / RTI > is used to produce a crystallization apparatus for continuous casting of slabs.

The crystallization apparatus also includes two narrow walls sandwiched between the ends of the wide walls, which define the entire width of the cast slab.

The present invention comprises at least a first step of making at least one of a wide wall having a portion with at least one shape in surface expansion.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the method comprises at least making a molding apparatus provided with molds and counter-molds, wherein a surface with individual shapes is made. The shaped surfaces together define a molding cavity that minutely divides the overall surface expansion of the at least one plate of the wide wall in shape and size when the mold and counter-mold are in the working position.

The present invention also includes shaping the plate using a mold and an anti-mold to obtain at least one plate in a finished form without a relative movement between the mold and the counter-mold.

In this way, the full surface expansion of the shaped portion and the at least one plate is obtained by deforming the latter into a plasticity and rapidly obtaining the desired shape.

Due to the fact that the surfaces with molds and counter-mold shapes faithfully reproduce the final shape of the plate to be obtained, it is possible to take into account the dimensional and geometrical tolerances of the design specification and, in particular, even at very severe, . As described above, the portion having the shape to partition the volume for insertion of the unloader during use is an important area of the total crystallization apparatus for possible wear phenomena, and the dimensional deviation of such portions can significantly increase wear, Thereby reducing its working life.

In addition, the use of molding techniques entails considerable savings in terms of time, waste of equipment and materials used, taking into account that, unlike known techniques such as chip-removing operations, molding is almost instantaneous and repetitive in the accuracy of the desired shape contour do.

In accordance with the invention, the molding operation also saves in terms of the material used, since it does not produce any waste.

In addition, the step of making a shaped part is simplified, and conversely, if a chip-removing operation is used, it has the potential to produce a different shape of the part with a shape that can be very complex, long and expensive to make.

Advantageously, the molding also does not cause wear, damage or other defects, and therefore the surface of the crystallizing device which is brought into contact with the molten metal does not require any additional work to be used.

This allows for further economic savings in terms of low waste, low operating costs and shorter production times.

According to some possible forms of embodiment, two adjacent and overlapping plates during molding are simultaneously molded in a forming apparatus to form one of the wide walls, thereby defining the inner surface and the outer surface of the wide wall. In addition, during the production of the molding apparatus, the surfaces of the individual shapes may be provided in molds and counter-molds that coincide with the overall surface expansion of the inner and outer surfaces.

One possible form of embodiment provides that the method includes connecting two plates to partition at least one of the wide walls together.

The present invention also relates to a molding apparatus for producing a crystallization apparatus having a plate for continuous casting, comprising at least a mold and an opposing mold, each of which has a surface with an individual shape, When in the operative molding position, the molding cavity is defined together. The molding cavity divides the overall surface expansion of the at least one plate of the wide wall in shape and size in a negative direction.

To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements in the figures. The elements and features of one form of embodiment may conveniently be included in other forms of embodiment without further description.

Referring to FIG. 1, a crystallization apparatus having a plate for continuous casting of slabs according to the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 10 in its entirety.

The crystallization apparatus 10 includes a wide wall 11 having two shapes that are substantially identical to each other by two narrow walls 12 and arranged facing each other and spaced apart from each other.

The wide wall 11 formed in the central portion is formed along the longitudinal axis Z, the central cavity or groove 13 and extends from the inlet portion to the outlet portion of the crystallization apparatus 10. [ An unloader not shown in the drawing can be inserted into the upper portion of the central cavity 13 and has the function of placing the molten metal in the crystallization device 10. [

The two narrow walls 12 can be selectively adjusted in a known manner to determine the distance between the wide walls 11 and hence the width of the slab coming out of the crystallization apparatus 10. [

In the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, each of the wide walls 11 comprises a first plate 14 and a second plate 15 which are adjacent to each other, that is, overlapping and contacting each other.

The first plate 14 includes a first inner surface 14 in contact with the molten metal during use and a first outer surface 15 disposed in contact with the second plate 15. The second plate 15 includes a second inner surface 18 cooperating with the first outer surface 17 of the first plate 14 and a second outer surface 19 which is planar.

The first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are formed at the center so as to define a concave portion 20 or a formed portion capable of positioning the unloader as is known. The concave portion 20 has a longitudinal slope that extends longitudinally up to the full height of the crystallization apparatus 10 and decreases until it is balanced, or until it is nearly balanced so as to coincide with the outlet portion in some cases.

Generally, the portion of the unloader located between the two wide walls 11 is substantially elliptical in shape and coaxially located in the middle of the central cavity 13 and in the longitudinal axis Z. Thus, the unloader is partially surrounded by the concave portion 20 of the first plate 14.

In this case, the first plate 14 is made of an alloy of copper and silver or an alloy of copper, chromium and zirconium. The second plate 15 is instead made of steel.

According to the embodiment of the first form shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are connected by threaded connection means, in this case second plate 15 and first plate 14 are mechanically coupled to each other by a front fastener 25 made in the front fastener 14 and a first screw (FIG. 3) inserted in the front fastener 26. More specifically, the threaded metal tube 37 is turned and fixed in the front closure 26, and the first screw 24 is turned and fixed therein.

This type of embodiment is particularly advantageous because the second plate 15 can be reused if the first plate 14 is to be replaced, for example, for maintenance operations or for large wear.

The first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are disposed on the first outer surface 17 of the first plate 14 and the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are disposed on the first plate 14.

Some embodiments provide that the connecting material 34 is comprised of a braze material.

By way of example only, the braze material may be selected from the group comprising alloys based on tin, lead, copper, silver, zinc or combinations thereof.

Although it should be mentioned in the solution provided below to use the braze material, in other embodiments, the connection between the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 may be achieved by an adhesive application operation, Can not be excluded.

Some embodiments are embodiments wherein the connecting material 34 is an adhesive material selected from the group consisting of at least an epoxy resin, a quinoacrylate, or a similar or comparable adhesive suitable for a particular application.

At least one of the first outer surface 17 of the first plate 14 and the second inner surface 18 of the second plate 15 is provided with a second plate 18, A plurality of longitudinal grooves 21 which are opened toward the outside by the first plate 15 or the first plate 14 and are sealed by the second plate 15 are provided so as to divide the channel 22 for the passage of the cooling liquid do. The channels 22 may be mutually connected to one another to allow the cooling liquid or fluid to pass therethrough to partition the cooling circuit and cool the first and second plates 14 and 15 and the molten metal therein.

By way of example only, the channel 22 is configured to resist pressure stress exerted by the cooling liquid, generally in the range of about 20 bar.

The cooling liquid results in uniform cooling of the entire cross-section of the crystallization apparatus 10. 6C, the first inner surface 16 of the first plate 14 is maintained at a temperature of about 350 DEG C and the channel 22, located closest to the first inner surface 16, The interface area between the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 is maintained at a temperature of about 60 DEG C and the second outer surface of the second plate 15 19) is maintained at a temperature of about 30 < 0 > C.

The interface area between the first plate 14 and the second plate 15, i.e., the area where the connecting material 34 is present, is very low temperature to advantageously retain the sealing and connecting ability of the connecting material 34 from thermal stress It should be noted.

In particular, in the embodiment of Figures 1, 2, 3, 4b and 6c, longitudinal grooves 21 are formed on the first outer surface 17 of the first plate 14, which is sealed by the second plate 15, So as to define the channel 22.

According to the variant shown in Figures 4a, 5, 6a and 6b, a longitudinal groove 21 is made in the second inner surface 18 of the second plate 15. In this case, the longitudinal grooves 21 are sealed by the first plate 14.

As a mere example that does not limit the invention, it has a width of 5 mm to 12 mm and a depth of 10 mm to 15 mm in the case of a channel 22 having a rectangular shape.

Another type of embodiment not shown in the figures is provided to make longitudinal grooves 21 that are trapezoidal or thermally shaped in shape so that the smaller bases face the grooved surface and the larger bases face inwards.

For example, in an embodiment of the first aspect as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the first plate 14 has a constant thickness along its extension with a width, while the second plate 15 has a thickness 13) and has a reduced variable thickness.

For example, in another embodiment of the embodiment shown in Figures 4A, 4B and 5, the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 have a uniform thickness along the extension with a width. In this case, the second outer surface 19 of the second plate 15 also has a curved contour along the recess 20.

By way of example only, without limiting the invention, with reference to the embodiment of Figs. 4a and 4b, the plate in which the longitudinal grooves 21 are made has a thickness of 20 mm to 40 mm, while the plate without longitudinal grooves has a thickness of 10 mm To 20 mm.

4a and 4b, the second plate 15 and the first plate 14 have a maximum thickness in order to obtain the longitudinal grooves 21. In the embodiment of Figs.

The wide wall 11 can be joined by a second screw 33 to a steel frame 27 which defines a water box for the cooling circuit comprising the channel 22 (Figures 5, 6a, 6b and 6c ).

In some forms of embodiment (Figures 5,6a, 6b and 6c), a drain channel 36 can be made in the second plate 15 and through the frame 27. The drainage channels 26 are arranged in the channel 22 which can flow out of the channel 22 through the surfaces 17 and 18 of the first and second plates 14 and 15, Thereby causing a possible small loss of cooling fluid to be discharged.

Some embodiments provide for the formation of a plurality of V-shaped engravings 23 on at least one of the first plate 14 or the second plate 15 to compensate for the thermal expansion to which the plate is subjected during casting do.

In particular, in the embodiment of Figures 6a and 6b, the second plate 15 is configured to compensate for the thermal expansion of the second plate during the casting due to the different materials from which the first and second plates 14 and 15 are made And a plurality of longitudinal V-shaped engravings 23 that can be used.

The longitudinal V-shaped notches 23 can be made in the second inner surface 18 (Fig. 6b), according to the second outer surface 19 (Fig. 6a) or deformation.

In another embodiment of the invention, the crystallization apparatus 10 is provided with a longitudinal V-shaped notch 23 as well as a transverse V-shaped notch 35 (Fig. 6A), that is, It is provided that a V-shaped engraving having the same function as the V-shaped engaging piece 23 is provided.

The interaction between the longitudinal V-shaped notches 23 and the transverse V-shaped notches 35 allows the crystallization apparatus 10 to adapt to the applied thermal expansion during use and reduce its internal tension. In particular, the longitudinal V-shaped cuts 23 and the transverse V-shaped cuts 35 allow the crystallization device 10 to accommodate each of the transverse and longitudinal stretches affected.

In this case, the longitudinal V-shaped insert 23 and the transverse V-shaped insert 35 have a rectangular shape and the shorter side has a width of about 4-5 mm .

In accordance with the variant, the transverse V-shaped engagings 35 are made only in the region of the crystallization device 10 which is located close to the height of the molten metal during use, or only in the crescent moon which has the greatest thermal stress. The longitudinal V-shaped cuts 23 and the transverse V-shaped cuts 35 are made, for example, by a milling operation.

According to another variant, each wide wall 11 can be composed of a single plate of copper alloy. In this case, the channel 22 is made longitudinally in the thickness of the plate.

In some forms of embodiment (FIG. 3), seatings 40 are made in the case of a second plate 15 with a rectangular portion, each interior having a sealing seal 41, Is arranged to ensure a watertight seal between the first plate (14) and the second plate (15).

The method of manufacturing the crystallization apparatus 10 may be carried out in such a manner that at least a first plate 14 made of a rolled metal sheet having excellent surface finish is used with the mold 28 and the opposite mold 29 of the casting apparatus 30 At least a first step of receiving a molding operation (Figs. 7 and 8). According to a possible embodiment of the invention, the molding apparatus 30 may be used for the simultaneous molding of the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 as will be described below.

In particular, a surface 42 is provided in the mold 28 that is shaped to coincide with the overall surface development of the first interior surface 16 of the first plate 14.

When the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are co-molded or coincided with the entire surface development of the first inner surface 17 of the first plate 14 to the opposite-mold 29, 2 is provided with a surface 43 which is shaped to coincide with the overall surface development of the outer surface 19. [

The mold 28 and the counter-mold 29 are delimited by the respective shaped surfaces 42 and 43 and the molding cavity 44 when placed in the operating position.

The molding cavity 44 minutely divides the overall surface development of the wide wall 11 in shape and size in a definite form.

In this way, the recessed portion 20 is made advantageous in its final form without the need to perform additional work on the first inner surface 16 and the first outer surface 17 in a single operation.

In addition, due to the fact that the shaped surfaces 42 and 43 faithfully reproduce the overall surface development of the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 in their final configuration, It is possible to ensure that the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are obtained, in particular it is possible to take into account the dimensional and geometrical tolerances required for particular applications.

The second plate 15 (Figs. 4A, 4B, 5, 6A, 6B, 6C) is formed by molding in a dedicated mold and a counter-mold like the first plate 14.

If both the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are formed by molding, independent casting operations are provided on the first and second plates 14 and 15 on the dedicated mold and the counter-mold, respectively . On the other hand, other forms of embodiment are provided to simultaneously perform the molding operations for the first 14 and the second plates 15 so that they are simultaneously adjacent and superimposed on one another between the mold 28 and the opposite mold 29 .

In particular, in the form of an embodiment that provides mechanical association of the first and second plates 14 and 15, the second plate 15 is obtained by operation on mechanical equipment, after replacement of the first plate 14 , And subsequent reuse of the second plate 15 cancels production costs.

Conversely, in the form of an embodiment using a connecting material 34 to connect the first plate 14 with the second plate 15, the second plate 15 is also obtained by molding. In this way it is possible to form the first outer surface 17 of the first plate 14 coinciding with the second inner surface 18 of the second plate 15 so that they are accurately superimposed and joined together.

Some forms of embodiment provide that the molding operation is performed cold.

In another embodiment, the molding is carried out hot.

The method also includes making longitudinal grooves 21 on the first plate 14 or the second plate 15 or both. Some forms of embodiment provide that the longitudinal grooves 21 are made by a chip-removing operation using a multi-tooth miller to reduce the working time. In particular, the longitudinal grooves 21 are made by numerical control milling to obtain high precision.

The longitudinal grooves 21 can be made before or after the molding operation.

Another embodiment of the method of the present invention also provides for making a longitudinal V-shaped mandrel 23 on the second plate 15.

The method then includes connecting the first plate 14 to the second plate 15 to define the wide wall 11 and the cooling channel 22 when they are connected to each other. The connection as described above can be obtained using at least two alternatives.

The first alternative is to insert the first screw 24 into the forwardly anchored fixture 26 corresponding to the forefront fixture 25 to provide mechanical engagement of the first and second plates 14 and 15.

If a frame 27 is provided, this step is also provided for joining the frame 27 to the wide wall 11 using the second screw 33.

A second alternative is provided for joining the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 using a connecting material 34. In this case, the first outer surface 17 and the second inner surface 18 are covered in a known manner, for example by spraying or spreading the connecting material 34.

If the connecting material 34 is a braze material, it is necessary to proceed with simultaneous heating of the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 to obtain intimate and permanent bonding.

In this case, in fact, after the brazing material is applied, the first plate 14 and the second plate 15 are aligned and superimposed, and between the same mold 28 and the opposite mold 29 used for the molding operation . A plurality of heating elements, such as a resistor 31 schematically illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, are provided in the anti-mold, the heating element comprising a first plate 14 and a second plate 15, Temperature to form their intimate and permanent connections (Figure 9).

In another form of embodiment, the mold 28 and the counter-mold 29 for soldering may be different from those used for molding operations.

Depending on the variant, at least one of the molds 28 or the counter-molds 29 (Fig. 10), in this case both are modular and are divided into a plurality of mold sections 32a, 32b. Particularly, the first mold part 32a is provided and centrally located and is suitable for partitioning the concave part 20 of the first and second plates 14 and 15 by its action, and the second mold part 32b And laterally joined with the first mold portion 32a to define the entire mold 28 and the counter-mold 29.

In particular, the first mold portion 32a of the mold 28 and the counter-mold 29 is in the form of an individual formed to coincide with the overall surface development of the concave portion 20 of the first and second plates 14 and 15 Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 42 < / RTI >

In this manner, the sizes of the mold 28 and the counter-mold 29 may optionally include additions and / or removals of the second mold portion 32b to form the first and second plates 14 and / 15) (Fig. 10). The first mold portion 32a remains substantially the same even when a crystallization apparatus having the first and second plates 14 and 15 of different widths is made.

Subsequent steps provide possible work such as making V-shaped nicks, holes, and seats for keys and / or tongues.

According to the present invention, taking into account that the molding operation is momentary compared to the chip-removing operation, the molding operation carried out by at least the first plate 14 to obtain the first inner surface 16 mainly involves a reduction in the manufacturing time To determine the various construction advantages.

 Also, because of the limited amount of material used by the equipment used and the chip-removal, a reduction in manufacturing costs is advantageously obtained.

Advantageously, in each case a first inner surface 16 with a suitable surface quality is obtained, which is made of rolled steel and is suitable for producing good surface quality of the slab outlet.
