Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid level control method, a metal ingot manufacturing method, and an ultrafine copper alloy wire using the liquid level control method capable of monitoring and controlling the fluctuation of the liquid level.
- an ingot by continuously casting a metal such as a copper alloy.
- a metal such as a copper alloy.
- an ingot can be obtained by solidifying the metal while continuously pouring molten metal into the mold.
- the surface height As a factor that affects the quality of the ingot, there is the mold height of the molten metal inside the mold (hereinafter referred to as “the surface height”).
- the molten metal surface height fluctuates, the thickness of the chill layer of the ingot surface layer, the size of the metal structure, and the like become unstable. Moreover, it becomes a factor of casting troubles, such as molten metal overflow and running out of hot water. For this reason, it is desirable to control the molten metal surface height inside the mold as constant as possible.
- Patent Document 1 performs analysis on six lines, but the molten metal surface height between the lines is not taken into account, and there is a possibility that the abnormal point extends over a plurality of lines. For this reason, it is easy to be influenced by the undulation of the hot water surface, and the accurate hot water surface cannot always be grasped. Therefore, the hot water level control is not accurate, and it is difficult to stabilize the hot water level.
- a rotary moving mold as a method for continuously casting a long ingot.
- the rotary moving mold has a very small molten metal capacity (mold size) relative to the amount injected from the spout.
- template fluctuates greatly by the slight fluctuation
- the quality of the ingot is not stable due to large fluctuations in the molten metal surface during casting. For this reason, particularly when the ingot is made of an ultrafine copper alloy wire, there is a limit to reducing the diameter of the drawn wire due to the influence of micro defects and the like due to the quality of the ingot.
- the present invention has been made in view of such problems.
- the present invention provides a method for producing a metal ingot capable of accurately monitoring the molten metal level in a mold and controlling the molten metal level accurately. Objective.
- the first invention is a method for manufacturing a metal ingot, a mold, a spout for pouring molten metal in a tundish into the mold, a stopper for adjusting the opening of the spout, A camera for photographing the molten metal surface inside the mold, an analysis unit for analyzing an image photographed by the camera, and a control unit for adjusting the opening of the spout based on information analyzed by the analysis unit
- the analysis unit has a predetermined width with respect to the molten metal surface image photographed by the camera, and sets an analysis band in the vertical movement direction of the molten metal surface including the molten metal surface.
- the control unit by comparing the melt-surface height and the reference molten metal surface level, a metal ingot manufacturing method characterized by adjusting the opening of the spout.
- the analysis unit may calculate the peak by analyzing image data at regular intervals and averaging a plurality of image data within a predetermined time.
- the analysis unit recognizes a molten metal part shape of a part of the molten metal part after binarization in the imaging field of view of the camera, and always compares the pattern shape corresponding to the molten metal part shape with the molten metal part shape. It is desirable to correct the position of the analysis band in the photographing field of view of the camera while performing position correction so that the molten metal shape and the pattern shape overlap.
- the analysis unit monitors the width of the molten metal poured into the mold in the field of view of the camera, corrects the opening of the spout by the molten metal width of the molten metal, and When the molten metal width of the part becomes 0, an abnormal signal may be transmitted.
- the analysis unit controls the spout to close in a case where it is determined that the molten metal surface has risen to the upper limit of the analysis zone, and if it is not determined that the molten metal surface has descended after a predetermined time, an abnormal signal is transmitted. You may send to a control part.
- the peak has a change rate of 100% when a boundary between the molten metal part and the non-molten metal part is formed in the longitudinal direction of the analysis band, and the change rate of black and white is not inclined at the boundary, and is white or black at a part other than the boundary.
- the reference value may be set in the range of 50% to 80% when the rate of change is 0%.
- An upper limit may be set for the opening degree of the spout. You may correct
- an analysis band having a predetermined width is set using image analysis for analyzing the molten metal surface height, and binary data (black and white) of the molten metal part and the non-molten metal part within the width of the analytical band. ) Is recognized by the rate of color change, so that it is less affected by hot water ripples and splashes, and the height of the hot water can be accurately determined.
- the rate of change of the binary data refers to the width of the analysis band with respect to the length h of the analysis band in the longitudinal direction (the vertical direction of the analysis band and the fluctuation direction of the molten metal surface). It is the change rate obtained by analyzing the differential value of the color change at each longitudinal position (dh) as a whole. For example, the rate of change is maximum (100%) at the boundary between the molten metal position and the non-molten molten metal position when there is no undulation of the molten metal surface and the molten metal surface is constant at a certain height. Further, if there is no change inside the molten metal part or the non-molten metal part, the minimum (0%) is obtained.
- the pattern shape corresponding to the molten metal part shape is compared with the molten metal part shape, and the molten metal part shape and the pattern shape are always compared.
- the position is corrected so that and overlap. That is, the position of the analysis band in the camera's field of view can be corrected to an appropriate position. Therefore, it is possible to automatically correct the displacement of the analysis position due to vibration from the equipment, mold wear, mold change, etc., and always detect the molten metal surface under a certain condition.
- the spout is controlled in a closing direction, and after that, when it is not determined that the molten metal surface has lowered after a predetermined time, an abnormal signal is generated, thereby Can be reliably prevented from overflowing.
- a reference value for the rate of change of binary data is set in a range of 50% to 80%, and a position exceeding the reference value is recognized as a molten metal surface (that is, a peak is in a range of 50% to 100% or By identifying the peak position as the molten metal surface height in the range of 80% to 100%), the molten metal surface position can be detected more accurately without being affected by the ripples of the molten metal surface.

- FIG. The figure which shows the continuous casting rolling apparatus 1.
- FIG. The A section enlarged view of FIG. C arrow figure from the camera 25 of FIG. It is a conceptual diagram which shows the image by the camera 25, (a) is a binarized image, (b) is an image after setting each analysis frame.
- FIG. The flowchart which shows a hot_water
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a continuous casting and rolling apparatus 1.
- a continuous casting and rolling apparatus 1 An example of continuous casting of a copper alloy using a rotary moving mold is shown as an example of a continuous casting and rolling apparatus, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention is naturally applicable to other metals.
- the present invention can also be applied to other continuous casting methods such as a so-called twin belt type (rotating) moving mold formed of a pair of belts.
- the continuous casting and rolling apparatus 1 is mainly composed of a rotary moving mold composed of a shaft furnace 3, a rod 5, a tundish 7, a wheel 11, and the like, a rolling mill 17, a winder 23, and the like.
- the shaft furnace 3 melts, for example, electrolytic copper ingot in a reducing atmosphere.
- the molten metal melted in the shaft furnace 3 is continuously led into the tundish 7 through the gutter 5.
- the molten metal in the tundish 7 is poured through a spout 9 into a rotary moving mold constituted by a belt 15 and a wheel 11.
- the belt 15 is moved by the plurality of turn rolls 13 and covers a part of the outer periphery of the wheel 11.
- a space surrounded by a recess (not shown) formed on the outer periphery of the wheel 11 and the belt is a mold.
- the molten metal poured into the mold is cooled and solidified in the mold to become an ingot 19.
- the ingot 19 is continuously drawn out of the mold and continuously rolled by the rolling mill 17 to become a wire 21.
- the wire 21 is wound up by a winder 23.
- the ingot in the present invention refers to all of the cast products obtained by continuously solidifying directly from the molten metal as in this embodiment. That is, if it is a cast product obtained continuously, it is called an ingot regardless of its form.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. 1 and shows a vicinity of a pouring portion of the molten metal into the mold.
- the belt 15 is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the wheel 11 by the turn roll 13, and the space between the belt 15 and the outer peripheral surface of the wheel 11 becomes a mold.
- the molten metal 29 a is poured from the tundish 7 through the spout 9 into the mold.
- the wheel 11 continuously cools and solidifies the molten metal while rotating (in the direction of arrow B in the figure). Therefore, the molten metal 29a is continuously poured into the mold.
- the molten metal surface 27 inside the mold is constantly monitored by the camera 25 (in the direction of arrow C in the figure).
- the camera 25 is, for example, a CCD camera.
- the molten metal surface 27 varies depending on the balance between the amount continuously cast by the wheel 11 rotating at a substantially constant speed and the amount of the molten metal 29a to be poured.
- the rotary moving mold has a small surface area with respect to the inner diameter of the spout 9 (the surface area of the molten metal is about 5 to 30 times the inner diameter of the spout). For this reason, even if there is a slight change in the amount of hot water discharged from the spout 9, the hot water surface may fluctuate greatly.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the vicinity of the mold as seen from the direction of photographing by the camera 25 in FIG.
- the camera 25 images the molten metal surface from an obliquely upper side of the mold within a range that does not affect the casting operation or the like. That is, the camera 25 photographs the molten metal 29a in the outlet portion including the molten metal surface 27 inside the mold, the molten metal 29b such as molten metal splash, and the like.
- FIG. 4 is an image of the D part of FIG. 3 and is a conceptual diagram of the field of view of the camera 25.
- FIG. 4A shows an image obtained by binarizing the molten metal part and the non-molten metal part.
- 4 (b) is an image showing a state in which analysis frames and the like are superimposed.
- the analysis unit sets various analysis frames such as an analysis band 35, a molten metal pattern 37, and a molten metal monitoring unit 43 for the obtained image.
- the analysis band 35 includes the molten metal surface (the molten metal portion 31c), and is set with a predetermined width so that the fluctuation direction of the molten metal surface is the longitudinal direction (the direction of arrow E in the figure).
- the width of the analysis band 35 is set to be as wide as possible in such a range that a part of the analysis band 35 does not reach the molten metal part (the molten metal part 31a).
- the change rate of the binary data is calculated by the analysis unit.
- the peak display unit 41 the peak of the calculated change rate of the binary data is displayed. That is, the rate of change at each position in the longitudinal direction of the analysis band 35 is displayed in a direction perpendicular to the analysis band 35 (in the direction of arrow F in the figure).
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the analysis band 35 and the peak display section 41, in which the horizontal axis is the E direction (FIG. 4 (b)) and the vertical axis is the F direction (FIG. 4 (b)).
- the analysis unit calculates the boundary between the molten metal part 31c (white part) and the non-molten metal part 33 (black part).
- the color change rate in the minute range (dh) is differentiated and calculated from the left side (the side where the molten metal surface is low) in the drawing toward the right side in the longitudinal direction.
- a large peak 45 is obtained near the hot water surface.
- the rate of change is calculated for the change from white to black as the color change from the lower side of the hot water surface. That is, the changing portion from black to white is not calculated as a peak. Therefore, only the boundary from the molten metal part (white) to the non-molten metal part (black) is recognized as the molten metal surface, and the boundary between the non-molten metal part (for example, the shadow of the mold) and the molten metal part is not recognized as the molten metal surface.
- the molten metal surface may not be constant over the entire width of the analysis zone 35.
- an image is analyzed every 0.1 second, and a peak is calculated by, for example, a moving average of 6 points (0.6 seconds). Therefore, the molten metal surface in the entire width of the analysis band 35 is not always constant, and the peak 45 may not be 100%.
- the threshold value 47 is set to 50 to 80%. If it is less than 50%, there is a possibility that waves and splashes of the molten metal may be erroneously recognized as the molten metal surface, and if it is 80% or more, there is a possibility that the molten metal surface cannot be recognized due to the undulation of the molten metal surface.
- the influence of the ripples on the hot water surface can be minimized.
- the molten metal part 31b such as splashes, can prevent erroneous recognition of the molten metal surface without the peak exceeding the threshold value.
- the hot water surface position inside the analysis zone 35 can be calculated.
- a belt-shaped pouring monitoring unit 43 is set inside the molten metal part 31c which is a tapping part.
- the pouring monitoring unit 43 is always set to a position where the molten metal is located even when the spout opening degree is adjusted to reduce the amount of discharged hot water. That is, normally, a molten metal part (white) always exists inside the pouring monitoring unit 43 during monitoring.
- the molten metal monitoring unit 43 monitors the molten metal width (N in the figure) of the molten metal part 31a in the molten metal part.
- the amount of molten metal discharged from the spout is calculated based on the information on the molten metal width of the molten metal portion 31a in the molten metal portion obtained by the molten metal monitoring unit 43.
- the amount of discharged hot water can be predicted from the relational expression between the molten metal width and the amount of discharged hot water obtained in advance by a test or the like.
- the molten metal will not be poured, or if the camera is abnormal or an obstacle is reflected in front of the camera, it will be impossible to accurately monitor the hot water level.
- the molten metal width of the molten metal part 31a becomes zero.
- the monitoring unit recognizes an abnormality and transmits an abnormality signal.
- the casting apparatus is controlled safely by issuing an alarm for notifying an operator or the like or turning on a light.
- the analysis unit stores the molten metal pattern 37.
- the molten metal pattern 37 matches the shape in the camera image field of view of the tip of the molten metal portion 31c inside the mold. That is, the molten metal pattern 37 is a part of the shape of the white part of the site
- the analysis unit sets the molten metal pattern 37 at a predetermined position within the pattern control range 39.
- FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing control by the molten metal pattern.
- the molten metal pattern 37 corresponds with the front-end
- the analysis unit searches for a molten metal part (white part) that matches the molten metal pattern 37 in the pattern control range 39 and arranges the molten metal pattern 37 at the site. At this time, other analysis frames such as the analysis band 35 are set according to the position of the molten metal pattern 37.
- FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a state where the position of the molten metal part 31c is deviated from the state of FIG.
- Such situations include, for example, the effects of camera and mold vibrations, and variations in mold surface (mold) position due to mold size changes, mold wear, and the like.
- the molten metal surface in the analysis zone 35 cannot be calculated because the position of the molten metal portion 31 c varies.
- the position of the molten metal pattern 37 is always followed by the molten metal part 31c.
- the position of the analysis frame such as the analysis band 35 is always corrected to an appropriate position according to the position of the molten metal portion 31c (in the direction of arrow I in the figure). Therefore, it is possible to always grasp the accurate molten metal surface position regardless of the position fluctuation of the molten metal part 31c.
- the pattern control range 39 is set in a range where there is no erroneous recognition of the position of the molten metal pattern 37.
- tip part shape of the molten metal part 31c approximates the molten metal part 31a front-end
- the pattern control range 39 is set in advance in a range in which the molten metal pattern 37 may move (a range in which the molten metal portion 31a is not reflected).
- the camera since the camera is not affected by the vibration of the camera as described above, the camera can be disposed near the casting apparatus. For this reason, a sufficient amount of light in the field of view can be secured. For this reason, the shutter speed can be increased. For this reason, the influence of the image blur due to vibration can be further reduced. Moreover, high resolution can be obtained by photographing near the molten metal part.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a hot water level control process.
- the analysis unit sets an analysis band and a threshold value (step S1). For the width and length of the analysis band and the threshold value, for example, information stored in the storage unit may be read.
- step S2 the molten metal is poured into the mold and analysis by the camera is started.
- step S3 the change rate of black and white inside the analysis band is calculated and the peak is analyzed.
- step S3 For calculating the peak, for example, a moving average of 6 points is taken. Further, step S2 may be performed every time the peak is analyzed.
- the analysis unit compares the calculated peak with the threshold value, and recognizes the peak position higher than the threshold value on the lowest molten metal level as the molten metal surface height (step S4).
- step S5 When the hot water surface height is higher than the hot water surface upper limit (step S5), the opening of the spout is narrowed, and the hot water surface position after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) is detected (step S6). If the length does not fall below the upper limit of the hot water surface, an abnormal signal is transmitted (step S14). When the hot water surface height falls below the upper limit, the process proceeds to step S13.
- a predetermined time for example, 2 seconds
- the hot water surface height is lower than the upper limit of the hot water surface, the hot water surface height is compared with the reference hot water surface height (step S8), and the spout opening degree control is performed based on the difference between the hot water surface height and the reference hot water surface height. The amount is calculated (step S9). Note that the spout opening control optimizes the gain of PID control to prevent hunting and the like.
- step S10 If the spout opening exceeds the upper limit (step S10), the spout opening is set to the upper limit (step S11) to prevent the spout from opening beyond the upper limit.
- the control unit controls the opening of the spout (step S12).
- a control part adjusts the opening degree of a spout by raising and lowering the stopper provided in a spout, for example with the electric cylinder using a servomotor.
- the electric cylinder is preferably a high torque of about 200 N, for example, and has a high resolution of about 0.02 mm.
- the pouring monitoring unit determines that the pouring unit is a non-molten molten metal part (step S13)
- an abnormal signal is transmitted.
- the hot water surface position can be made constant at a predetermined position by calculating the hot water surface position and controlling the spout opening.
- step S12 when performing the spout opening degree adjustment according to the molten metal surface height in the mold (step S12), fine adjustment of the spout opening degree by the molten metal width in the pouring part obtained by the above-described pouring monitoring part 43 ( Correction of the opening degree) may be performed.
- the analysis section stores the reference molten metal width with respect to the spout reference opening, and compares it with the molten metal width obtained by the molten metal monitoring section 43.
- the actual melt width obtained is narrower than the expected melt width, there may be problems such as deposits on the spout and the flow of the melt not smooth.
- the actual melt width obtained is wider than the expected melt width, there is a possibility that spout or other refractory materials are worn or chipped.
- the analysis unit Adjust the opening slightly. Specifically, when the actual melt width is narrower than the assumed melt width, the spout opening degree is corrected to slightly open. Similarly, when the actual melt width is wider than the assumed melt width, the spout opening degree is corrected in a slightly closing direction. Note that this control may be performed at the same timing as the above-described control based on the mold surface level or may be performed at a predetermined interval.
- the amount of molten metal discharged from the tundish also depends on the hot water level in the tundish. That is, if the tundish hot water level is high, more molten metal is discharged even at the same spout opening. Therefore, as mentioned above, in addition to fluctuations in the amount of tapping due to the volume of the spout, the spout installation state, wear of the refractory material near the tapping part, etc., the amount of tapping also depends on the level of molten metal in the tundish. (Melt width) fluctuates.
- the analysis unit may monitor the hot water surface height in the tundish and finely adjust the spout opening (correction of the opening) according to the hot water surface height in the tundish. For example, the actual hot water surface height relative to the reference hot water surface height in the tundish may be detected by the analysis unit, and the opening degree of the spout may be adjusted slightly.
- the spout opening is corrected to slightly open.
- the spout opening degree is corrected in a slightly closing direction.
- This control may be performed at the same timing as the above-described control based on the molten metal surface height in the mold (for example, before or after step S12), or at a predetermined interval (for example, for the flow of FIG. 7). It may be performed once every several cycles).
- the hot water surface height in the tundish can be grasped by the amount of molten metal (weight) in the tundish.
- weight the amount of molten metal in the tundish.
- the weight of the entire tundish can be monitored by a load cell, and the amount of molten metal in the tundish can be calculated from the obtained weight. Therefore, it is possible to know the surface height corresponding to the amount of molten metal in the tundish.
- molten_metal surface height may each be only one, and may combine both. Moreover, you may control them by PID control.
- an abnormal signal may be transmitted.
- an abnormal signal may be transmitted if the amount of tapping with respect to the amount of molten metal in the tundish is not within a predetermined range set at a certain spout opening. That is, when it becomes difficult to adjust the amount of hot water by adjusting the spout opening due to an abnormality such as clogging or cracking of the spout, an abnormality signal may be transmitted.
- FIG. 8 (a) is a diagram showing a change in the molten metal surface and a change in the spout opening degree controlled according to the present invention. Indicates. As shown in the figure, in the present invention, the molten metal surface variation is extremely small, and the molten metal surface variation width can be kept within ⁇ 10 mm.
- FIG. 8 (b) is a diagram showing the variation in the molten metal surface and the change in the spout opening degree controlled by the conventional control method, where the horizontal axis represents time, L in the diagram represents the molten metal surface variation, M indicates spout opening control.
- the conventional control method in which the width is not set in the analysis unit for detecting the molten metal level as in the analysis band of the present invention, the moving average of the data of a plurality of points (time) is not taken) The fluctuation was large, and the molten metal surface fluctuation was about ⁇ 50 mm.
- the analysis band has a predetermined width
- the molten metal surface is calculated throughout the analysis band, and the molten metal surface is identified by a predetermined number of moving averages. It is possible to reduce the size and detect a more accurate hot water surface position.
- the position of the analysis band for recognizing the molten metal surface pattern and analyzing the molten metal surface is always placed at an appropriate position, it is not affected by vibrations or mold wear. Even when the mold size is changed, it is not necessary to set the camera position and the like each time.
- the spout opening is narrowed, and when the molten metal surface that is higher than the molten metal surface upper limit is continued for a predetermined time or more, it is judged as abnormal. Overflow can be prevented. Moreover, since an upper limit is set to the opening degree of the spout, it is possible to prevent the molten metal from being poured excessively and causing hunting of the molten metal surface.
- the rough drawn wire eddy current flaw detection is performed by performing a eddy current flaw detection on a rough drawing wire of 30 tons and continuously detecting a surface flaw of the rough drawing wire.
- the L defect, the M defect, and the S defect are obtained by ranking the flaw depth according to the obtained detection intensity of the flaw detection, and the L defect indicates the largest defect.
- the 0.03 mm ⁇ wire drawing property indicates the average of the drawing dose per one break (kg / Br) when 100 kg of wire drawing is performed. That is, the drawing dose that can be drawn without breaking is shown. This is based on the rough drawn wire manufactured by the continuous casting and rolling apparatus 1 as a base material, drawn to 2.6 mm ⁇ by a general-purpose continuous wire drawing machine, and subsequently subjected to a plurality of wire drawing operations to 0.03 mm ⁇ . This is an evaluation method related to the process.
- the rough line according to the present invention has few defects, and no L defect was detected. Moreover, since there were few defects and the structure was uniform, the drawing dose per break became 15 kg or more in the subsequent wire drawing. In particular, with oxygen-free copper and a copper alloy containing 0.7 wt% tin, it was possible to ensure 20 kg or more as the elongation dose per break.
- the control of the molten metal surface height inside the mold at the time of metal casting has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to the detection and control of the liquid surface height of any liquid. It is.
- the opening of the injection unit can be adjusted by detecting the liquid level in the liquid holding unit.
- the liquid level inside the liquid holding unit is photographed with a camera, the image photographed with the camera is analyzed with the same analysis unit as described above, and the liquid level is certified, What is necessary is just to adjust the opening degree of an injection
- an infrared camera capable of grasping the liquid temperature may be used as the camera. That is, the liquid part and the non-liquid part may be binarized at the liquid temperature.
- the liquid level reference height is not always constant and can be controlled such that the reference liquid level changes at a predetermined speed. The optimum position of the reference liquid level depends on the mold and spout setting errors before the start of continuous casting.
