mvsmon Friedrich Kocks DISPENSENG APPARATUS FOR AND METHODS OF CASTING This invention relates to apparatus for and methods of casting and particularly to apparatus for and methods for maintaining a constant casting speed.
The quality of a metal casting is known to be influenced by the casting speed, which has an influence, for example, on the segregation, shrinking, cracking and solidification of the metal. For example, it is necessary to cast rimming soft pipe steel at a slow casting speed in molds with a circular section. Similarly in other operations it is known that better quality of casting is obtained if a certain speed of casting is observed.
Unfortunately casting speeds are very seldom given in practice or at best are given only in general data because an exact value cannot be observed in the past without auxiliary equipment of an expensive and complex nature. As a result the casting speed for mold casting was given very little consideration in the technical literature and virtually no ideas or suggestions can be found concerning the quality control of the casting speed during the casting operation. It was only a very few in stances, such as that of rimmed pipe steel, that even a rough attempt was made at controlling casting speed.
In the case of continuous casting operation, it is common practice today to maintain a constant casting speed. This is accomplished by controlling the withdrawal speed of the cast strand and by controlling the height or level of metal in the mold. Various other means for measurement and control are well known in continuous casting such as the use of tracers and the measurement of their conductivity. The methods used in continuous casting are not, however, adaptable to ingot casting.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for maintaining a constant casting speed when casting iron or metals in ingots. The major factors which influence the casting speed in casting ingots are the melt height in the pouring ladle, the discharge section and the viscosity of the metal. Since all of these change relatively uncontrollably as the casting time progresses, the measurement of casting speed must take all of these into consideration.
The method of this invention to maintain a constant casting speed is based on the assumption, that the iron or metal melt is poured out of a pouring ladle and into a mold. The quantity flowing out in a certain time can be controlled by removing the stopper rod or by tilting the pouring ladle. The quantity flowing out in a certain time can be controlled by removing the stopper rod or by tilting the pouring ladle. The pouring ladle can also be provided with several stopper rod openings of which only one or a few are opened to allow for the outflow of small quantities in a certain time, and where several or all stopper rods have to be removed to allow the outflow of larger quantities if desired.
The method is thus characterized in that the discharged quantity is computated during the casting operation by weighing the pouring ladle. The computated value can be indicated and/or after conversion into control data be used to control the drive for removal of the stopper rod and for tilting the pouring ladle.
These measures make it possible to utilize the experiences from continuous casting for ingot castings to achieve a high quality of the castings and to avoid faulty castings due to cracks and segregations which are unfavorable for further processing. Besides, all ingots off the same heat will be of more uniform quality.
A different approach of this method is to check the weight of the pouring ladle at the beginning and the end of a given time interval and to indicate the weight difference and/or use this value to regulate or control the drive to lift the stopper rod or to tilt the pouring ladle.
The length of the time interval has to be adjusted to the prevailing circumstances. If, for example, a pouring ladle is used to cast only one big ingot, it will be sufficient to divide the total casting time into about five time intervals. if one pouring ladle is used to cast several ingots, the pouring time for one ingot should be divided in several time intervals.
If the computated weight difference is used to control the drive for lifting the stopper rod or tilting the ladle, it is advisable to compare the weight difference with a nominal value and to use the difference of latter to control the pouring. This can be done by using analogues or digital values.
An installation to use this method is thus characterized in that a pouring ladle with stopper rod or tilting drive is suspended in a weighing system. The weighing system is connected to a potentiometer or another voltage transmitter of which the voltage expressed as actual value is propositional to the ladle weight, and is compared with the voltage constituting the nominal value. The nominal value voltage is changed during the casting operation according to the casting speed desired. The result of the comparison of nominal to actual value is used to control the drive on the pouring ladle.
The practice of the present invention and an apparatus for carrying out the invention will perhaps be best understood by referring to the accompanying drawing showing a schematic arrangement of an analogue control system according to the present invention.
Referring to the drawing I have illustrated a typical ingot mold l and a typical casting ladle 3 as used in casting steel. The ingot mold l for the metal is erected in the casting pit 2 and is filled from the casting ladle 3. The casting ladle 3 has an opening 4 which is opened for pouring by a stopper rod 5 moving up and down. The pouring ladle 3 is suspended in the crane rig 6 which also incorporates the scale 7. The recording of scale 7 is transmitted over a pinion and pinion rack 8 to slide 12 of potentiometer 9. A similar potentiometer 10 is used as actual value sender, and its slide 13 is moved according to the desired pouring speed by the DC motor 14 over gear drive 15 and threaded spindle 16. To preadjust the nominal value of the casting speed the voltage of potentiometer 17 which is fed by the source of current 18 is adjusted and this in turn controls the speed of DC motor 14. Both terminals (12 and 13) of potentiometers (9 and 10) are connected electrically with a minivoltmeter 20 which indicates any deviations from the desired casting speed. The voltage difference of both terminals (12 and 13) can also be used to regulate a drive motor 5a for stopper rod 5 through lines 12a and 13a. Switch 19 is for reversing or switching off of DC motor 14.
The installation is operated in the following way:
Casting ladle 3 filled with liquid metal is moved into pouring position. Scale 7 indicates the weight. Slide 13 is brought by motor 14 into such a position that minivoltmeter 20 does not indicate any voltage difference. The desired casting speed is adjusted at potentiometer 17. By lifting stopper rod 5 motor 14 is started by switch 19. Any weight loss of ladle 3 is controlled during casting by opening or closing stopper rod 5 in such a way that minivoltmeter 20 shows a very small, or no voltage indication at all. After ingot 1 is filled, the stopper rod closes the opening, and motor 14 is stopped by switch 19.
While I have illustrated and described a present preferred practice of my invention in the foregoing specification, it will be understood that this invention may be otherwise embodied within the scope of the following claims.
