Description

Mold for casting

The present invention relates to a casting mold, and more particularly, to a casting mold capable of improving the quality of a casting in a continuous casting process.

Generally, a cast steel is produced by cooling molten steel contained in a mold through a cooling stand. For example, in the continuous casting process, a molten steel is injected into a mold having a predetermined internal shape, and a reaction product is continuously drawn in the mold to the lower side of the mold to produce semi-finished products of various shapes such as slabs, blooms, billets, beam blanks, Process. In this continuous casting process, the casting is first cooled in the mold, and after passing through the mold, water is injected into the casting and the casting is secondarily cooled.

Wherein the mold comprises a long side plate spaced apart from each other and a short side plate connected to face each other on both sides of the long side plate. At this time, since the solidification behavior of the molten steel in the mold changes along the longitudinal direction of the mold, the short side plate is inclined inward to compensate for the shrinkage of the solidified shell formed by solidification of the molten steel.

However, since the shape of such a mold can not completely compensate the shrinkage amount of the solidified shell in the longitudinal direction of the mold, defects are generated on the surface of the cast steel due to the contact between the cast steel and the mold at the lower side of the mold, .

FIG. 6 is a graph comparing the degree of inclination of the mold with the amount of shrinkage in the mold, and FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the heat transfer coefficient In the graph of FIG.

With reference to Fig. 1, a general continuous casting apparatus will be described.

The continuous casting apparatus includes a ladle 10 containing refined molten steel in a steelmaking process, a tundish 20 for receiving molten steel through an injection nozzle connected to the ladle 10 and temporarily storing the molten steel, And a mold 30 for receiving molten steel stored in the dish 20 and performing initial solidification in a predetermined shape. A cooling line (not shown) in which a plurality of segments (50) are continuously arranged to perform a series of molding operations while cooling the non-solidified casting (1) provided at a lower portion of the mold (30) 40).

Here, the mold 30 is made of a copper alloy, and includes a plurality of plates spaced apart from each other so as to form a space for accommodating molten steel therein. 2, the plurality of plates constituting the mold 30 are composed of a pair of long side plates 32 opposed to each other and a pair of short side plates 34 connected to both sides of the long side plate 32 . At this time, a chamfered surface having a chamfered shape may be formed at a corner of the mold 30 to which the long side plate 32 and the short side plate 34 are connected. The chamfered surface of the corner portion of the mold 30 can suppress the surface defects of the cast steel due to the temperature drop at the corner portions of the cast steel. In addition, the short-side plate 34 may be formed to have a trapezoidal shape with its upper side width wider than its lower side width by being inclined downward inward. This is because the amount of shrinkage of the solidifying shell is different in the upper and lower sides of the mold 30, that is, in the casting direction of the casting mold, when molten steel is cooled to form a solidification shell (cast steel) to be.

A cooling water flow path 36 for forming a solidification shell by solidifying molten steel may be formed in the short side plate 34 and the long side plate 32 constituting the mold 30.

The cooling water flow path 36 may be provided to allow the cooling water to pass through the plate, that is, inside the short side plate 34 and the long side plate 32. At this time, the cooling water flow path 36 may be divided into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30 so as to independently pass the cooling water. 3, the cooling water flow path 36 includes an upper flow path 36a provided on the upper side with respect to the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30 and a lower flow path 36b provided on the lower side with respect to the center portion, (36b). At this time, as the distance between the upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b becomes longer, the solidification shell may be unevenly solidified, so that the lower flow path 36b may be provided directly below the upper flow path 36a.

Here, the cooling water flow path 36 is described as being divided into two parts in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30 with respect to the central part. However, by dividing the cooling water flow path 36 into two or more parts, the solidification behavior of the solidifying shell, It can also be adjusted.

The upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b may be formed in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 4a) or vertically as shown in FIG. 4b). Although not shown, the upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b may be formed in different directions, for example, the upper flow path 36a may be a horizontal direction and the lower flow path 36b may be formed vertically.

Also, the upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b may be formed to have different distances from each other. The upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b may have the same diameter and the upper flow path 36a may be formed with the first gap P1, May be formed to have a second interval (P2) smaller than the first interval (P1). When the lower flow path 36b is formed to have a smaller distance than the upper flow path 36a, the area occupied by the cooling water in the mold 30 increases, so that the solidification of the solidification shell can be promoted at the lower side of the mold 30, On the upper side of the mold 30, the solidification of the solidification shell can be delayed.

The upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b may be formed to have different diameters. 5B, if the diameter D2 of the lower flow path 36b is set to be larger than the diameter D1 of the upper flow path 36a, the cooling water passing through the lower flow path 36b rather than the upper flow path 36a The solidification of the solidification shell can be promoted at the lower side of the mold 30 than at the upper side of the mold 30. [

The reason why the cooling water flow path 36 is divided in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30 in the present invention is that the shrinkage amount of the solidification shell is different in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30. 6, in the process of solidifying molten steel in the mold 30, the amount of shrinkage of the solidifying shell sharply increases on the upper side of the mold 30, and the increase in shrinkage amount decreases toward the lower side of the mold 30 . Since the temperature difference between the molten steel and the surface of the mold 30 is very large near the molten steel in the mold 30, the amount of shrinkage of the solidified shell is very large. As the molten steel moves toward the lower side of the mold 30, Since the temperature difference between the shell (cast strip) and the surface of the mold 30 is reduced, the shrinkage amount of the solidified shell gradually decreases. However, as described above, since the solidification shells have different shrinkage amounts in the casting direction of the casting mold, that is, the longitudinal direction of the mold 30, the short side plate 34 of the mold 30 is formed to be inclined downward inward to compensate for this. On the upper side of the mold 30 having a large shrinkage amount of the solidifying shell, the solidification shell and the surface of the mold 30 are floated. On the lower side of the mold 30 where the shrinkage amount of the solidifying shell is relatively small, The surface of the mold 30 is damaged, and a defect occurs in the surface of the solidified shell, that is, the surface of the cast steel. 3, the cooling water flow path 36 formed in the mold 30 is divided into the longitudinal direction (casting direction of the casting) of the mold 30, and the cooling water flow path 36 and the solidification The solidification shell can be uniformly solidified by controlling the amount of heat transferred to the solidifying shell from the mold 30 by adjusting the distances T1 and T2 between the surfaces of the mold 30 in contact with the shell. This reduces the amount of shrinkage of the solidifying shell on the upper side of the mold 30 having a large shrinkage amount of the solidifying shell and increases the shrinkage amount of the solidifying shell on the lower side of the mold 30 having a relatively small shrinkage amount of the solidifying shell, The damage to the mold 30 and surface defects of the cast steel can be suppressed.

The upper flow path 36a is formed farther from the inner wall of the mold 30 that is in contact with the solidification shell than the lower flow path 36b, that is, the inner wall of the long side plate and short side plate (hereinafter referred to as plates 32 and 34) .

7 shows the change of the heat transfer coefficient according to the distance between the cooling water flow path 36 formed in the mold 30 and the inner wall of the mold 30. The heat transfer coefficient decreases as the distance between the inner wall of the mold 30, that is, the inner wall of the plates 32 and 34 forming the mold 30, and the cooling water flow path 36 increases. The heat transfer coefficient is constant in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30, that is, from the surface of the mold 30 to the bottom of the mold 30. When the distance between the inner wall of the plates 32 and 34 and the cooling water flow path 36 is 5 mm, the heat transfer coefficient increases in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30.

When the cooling water flow path 36 is formed in the plates 32 and 34 constituting the mold 30 using the principle described above, the distances T1 and T2 between the cooling water flow path 36 and the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34 So that the solidification can be uniformly advanced by controlling the solidification behavior of the solidification shell in the mold 30.

The distance T1 from the upper flow path 36a to the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34, that is, the inner wall of the mold 30 may be 30 mm or more, preferably 30 to 50 mm or so. When the distance T1 between the upper flow path 36a and the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34 is smaller than the range shown in the drawing, solidification of the solidifying shell proceeds quickly and the amount of shrinkage of the solidifying shell is increased. Coagulation may be delayed too much. The distance T2 between the lower flow path 36b and the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34 may be 21 mm or less, preferably about 5 to 21 mm. When the distance T2 between the lower flow path 36b and the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34 is smaller than the range shown in the drawing, the solidification shell proceeds too rapidly and the shrinkage amount of the solidification shell increases. May be delayed. Therefore, by forming the upper flow path 36a and the lower flow path 36b at appropriate positions from the inner walls of the plates 32 and 34 and allowing the solidification to proceed uniformly in the longitudinal direction of the mold 30, And damage to the mold can be suppressed.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the following claims.
