Definitions

  • This invention relates to cooling methods and apparatus for providing a rapidly moving uniform layer of liquid coolant adapted to withdraw large quantities of heat from a surface along which the layer of coolant is applied.
  • the invention is described as embodied in a casting machine in which a molten material such as moltenmetal is confined in a region between two spaced substantially planar surfaces moving along together and formed by a pair of endless casting belts.
  • the cooling apparatus provides rapidly moving uniform layers of liquid coolant travelling along the outer surfaces of these two belts, thus cooling the belts for solidifying the molten metal between them.
  • the present invention assures adequate cooling while enabling the supporting elements to be positioned close together, an increased pressure or hydrostatic head can be applied to the molten metal between the belts, which is desirable for certain continuous casting processes.
  • coolant application guides and scoopsare provided for creating and precisely controlling the rapidly moving layer of coolant.
  • the coolant is guided along its curved path by means of a curved guide surface extending along one side of each combined guide and scoop, and a scoop surface extends along its other side for removing excess coolant earnest Fatented July 3', 1962 ice '2 from the cooled surface before additional coolant is applied.
  • the coolant is formed into a uniform continuous sheet before the coolant impinges upon the surface to be cooled, thus assuring a uniform cooling action over the cooled surface.
  • a further advantage results from the fact that a coolant application guide surface is utilized to shape the coolant into a thin uniform continuous sheet, and the use of narrow slit-like orifices is avoided.
  • FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal elevational sectional view of continuous casting apparatus embodying the cooling methods and apparatus of the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line 22-of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a partial perspective view of a combined coolant application guide and coolant scoop illustrating certain features of operation.
  • FIGURE 4 is a sectional view, on enlarged scale, of a combined coolant application guide and scoop, illustrating further details of construction and operation.
  • the molten metal 10 to be solidified into a continuous strip or slab 11 is introduced in the direction of the arrow 13 into a casting region C between a pair of thin, wide flexible belts or bands 12 and 14.
  • the casting region is defined by planar portions of these belts travelling along at substantially the same speed in spaced faceto-face relationship, as indicated by the arrows applied to the portions of the respective belts shown in FIGURE 1.
  • the thickness of the strip being cast is determined by the spacing between the belts 12 and 14, and the width of the cast strip is controlled by the lateral spacing between a pair of spaced moving edge dams, one being shown in FIGURE 2 by reference 15.
  • These moving edge dams 15 fit between the edges of the casting belts, and they may have a construction as described and claimed in US. Patent" No; 2,904,860, issued on September 22, 1959.
  • the casting belts 12 and 14 are formed of flexible and heat resistant sheet metal having a relatively high tensile strength, for example, conventional cold-rolled low carbon sheet steel having its ends welded together. Both surfaces of the weld are ground smooth and flush to form a continuous wide band or belt. These belts are relatively wide and thin, for example, having a width of the order of 46 inches and having a thickness lying in the range from 0.0 15 to 0.035 of an inch.
  • a large number of narrow fin-like supporting elements 16 are positioned in engagement with the outer surfaces of each of the belts. As shown, these supporting elements are provided by high, thin ridges on a plurality of closely spaced parallel back-up rollers 18 extending transversely across the outer surfaces of the casting belts, and rotatably mounted by means of end bearings 19 on main side frames 21.
  • Rapidly moving layers of coolant 20 and 22 are created and maintained travelling along the outer surfaces of the belts 12 and 14, passing between the narrow sup- I speed.
  • the coolant is water containing a suitable rust inhibitor, for example, such as sodium chromate added in a concentration of 6.7 ounces per 100 gallons 7? of'water.
  • a suitable rust inhibitor for example, such as sodium chromate added in a concentration of 6.7 ounces per 100 gallons 7? of'water.
  • the coolant layers 20 and 22 in FIGURE 1 are shown rapidly travelling longitudinally along the outer surfaces of the respective belts 12 and 14'toward the right, in the same direction as these belts are moving but it will be understood that the coolant layers are moving many, many times faster than the belts. As these coolant layers scrub along the surfaces of the belts, they become slowed down by the frictional drag, and it is necessary to re-accelerate them periodically up to their Speed film of coolant adjacent to the surface of each belt.
  • the combined coolant application guide and scoop units initial speed so as to obtain the desired continuous high- 2'4 periodically re-accelerate these coolant layers,
  • each scoop extends across substantially the entire width of the belt, and this edge 40 is spaced a uniform distance from the outer surface of the belt.
  • the spacing between the outer surface of For purposes ofre-accelerating the coolant layer :a substantially continuous. free-travelling sheet 42 of coolant is directed at a slight angle A towar-d the outer surface .of Each belt.
  • This free-travelling sheet impinges upon the respective reducedthickness coolant layer 20' 'or 22', merges with it, and thus rc-accelerates it to the desired
  • This'curve 44 is tangential with a final straight edge portion 46 which is aimed at theslight angle A with respect to the surface of the belt 12. From this edge pontion46 the free-travelling sheet '42 of liquid is shot out and converges with the reduced coolant layer 20' at the slight angle A.
  • the'slight angle A and the slight angle 13 for impingementof the coolant are both critical and should be approximately equal.
  • the free-travelling sheet 42 tends to su'ike'too hard against the surfaceof the reduced layer 20' so that the coolant bounces or ricochets off from the belt with resultant loss of cooling action and failure to produce the desired continuous scrubbing ac tion over the entire outside surface area of the belt adjacent to the casting region C.
  • the angle A should be 110 more than 10.
  • the free- ;travelling sheet 42 is aimed too closely parallel with the minished because the sheet 42 will travel too far through the atmosphere before merging into the coolant layer 20.
  • the methods and apparatus of the invention enable the rows of rotatable tin-like ele ments 16 to be closely positioned for preventing deflection or sagging of the belt under the pressure of the molten metal.
  • the clearance space is advantageously reduced to a value less than 60% of the diameter of the rotatable elements 16.
  • the diameter of the elements 16 is 2% inches and the clearance space is only 1% inch, thus being 56% of the diameter. Accordingly, the points of rolling engagement 51 between the elements 16 and the belt are spaced longitudinally along the belt no more than 3 /2 inches, thus providing closely spaced points 51 of support for the belt.
  • the outermost portion of the coolant layer is diverted by the sharp leading edge 40 of the scoop and thus travels upwardly along the scoop surface 36 under its own momentum.
  • a plurality of abrupt step-like breaks 53, 54, and 55 are provided in the scoop surface 36. Consequently, the extent of the wetted surface is reduced as the diverted coolant 52 breaks away from the scoop surface and shoots up into the converging mouth 56 of the collection gutter 32.
  • a plurality of skewed deflector vanes 58 cause the coolant to change direction and to travel longitudinally along the gutter, thus returning to the pumping system, which again supplies the conduits 26.
  • the nozzles are provided by stainless steel inserts having a flange 66 which seats down against the top surface of the mounting block.
  • a socket in each flange accommodates an O-ring 68 which seats up against a flat face 70 on the conduit under the pressure of a series of clamping screws 72 that extend freely up through the nozzle block.
  • a ledge 74 along the back edge of the nozzle block engages the conduit along. a line on the opposite side of the screws 72 from the O-rings 68, thus imposing the clamping thrust squarely on the O-rings.
  • There are a series of openings 7 6 in the conduit which are aligned with the respective bores of the nozles.
  • these openings 76 have a diameter of of an inch, and the bores of the nozzles are of an inch long and taper from a diameter of 4 down to A3 of an inch.
  • the conduit 26 has an inside diameter of 2 /2 inches and is an aluminum extrusion, and the nozzle
  • the planar area of the guide surface is shown as extend ing downwardly a distance of 2% inches below the blockmounting shoulder 62, and the radius of the curve 44 is of an inch.
  • the coolant discharge edge portion 46 is advantageously positioned closely adjacent to the surface of the belt so that the free-travelling sheet of coolant 42 travels through the air only a short distance before merging into the coolant layer on the casting belt.
  • this discharge edge 46 is here shown as spaced only a distance of of an inch from the surface of the casting belt. This position of the discharge edge closely adjacent to the casting belt assures that the free-travelling sheet 42 engages the coolant layer on the belt without any substantial. change in its uniform thickness after leaving the discharge edge.
  • a removable plug 78 fits into one end of each conduit.
  • Each plug is encircled by an annular channel 79 with an O-ring 8t seated therein for sealing up the end of the conduit, and mounting screws 82 secure the conduit in place.

It will be understood that the opposite end of each conduit is connected through a suitable duct to the pumping system which supplies the liquid coolant.
