Definitions
- the present invention relates to a continuous casting machine control method, a continuous casting machine control device, and a slab manufacturing method.
- Patent Document 1 describes a method of applying a magnetic field to molten steel in a mold. By applying a magnetic field to the molten steel in the mold to control the molten steel flow, the quality of the slab can be stabilized. However, even if a magnetic field is applied to the molten steel, it is difficult to completely control the molten steel flow due to an unexpected operational fluctuation. Therefore, there has been proposed a technique of controlling the operation by using the temperature measurement result of the molten steel by the temperature measurement element embedded in the mold copper plate. For example, Patent Document 2 describes a method of highly accurately estimating the molten steel flow by correcting the molten steel flow in the mold based on the copper plate temperature data in the mold.

- an information processing device such as a computer
- an internal arithmetic processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a computer program.
- CPU Central Processing Unit
- the molten steel flow state estimation unit 11 uses a known technique such as the molten steel flow state estimation method described in Patent Document 2 to estimate the flow state of the molten steel 2 in the mold 4 online.
- the molten steel flow state estimation unit 11 uses the physical model such as computational fluid dynamics in consideration of the turbulent flow model and the operating conditions of the continuous casting machine 1 and the measured value of the temperature sensor installed in the mold 4. From this, the flow state of the molten steel 2 in the mold 4 is estimated online.
- Examples of operating conditions of the continuous casting machine 1 include casting width, casting speed, magnetic flux density of electromagnetic stirring magnetic field, immersion depth of the immersion nozzle 5 (nozzle immersion depth), and the like.
- the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 uses the data on the flow state of the molten steel 2 estimated by the molten steel flow state estimation unit 11 to determine the molten steel flow index that causes impurities to mix into the slab (slab) in the mold 4. Estimate online. Here, as the impurities mixed into the slab, there are inclusions originating from the mold powder.
- the mold powder is a lubricant that is constantly supplied to the upper surface of the molten steel poured into the mold 4 to prevent seizure between the mold 4 and the slab, and also has a heat retaining effect for the molten steel 2.
- the mold powder is in contact with the molten steel 2 in a molten state, and the molten steel 2 is flowing at a certain flow velocity.
- the flow velocity of the molten steel 2 at the contact position with the mold powder is referred to as the surface velocity of the molten steel 2. Therefore, if the surface flow velocity of the molten steel 2 becomes excessively high, the molten powder may be caught in the molten steel 2 to cause inclusion defects. Further, inclusions such as alumina rise together with bubbles of Ar gas or the like supplied from the immersion nozzle 5 in accordance with the molten steel flow, and are absorbed by the molten powder layer to clean the molten steel 2.
- the solidification interface flow velocity means the flow velocity of the molten steel in the region near the solidification shell in the mold.
- the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 calculates the molten steel flow state calculation mesh (width direction and thickness) of the uppermost step (meniscus: height position of molten steel surface) of the mold 4 from the data of the flowing state of the molten steel 2.
- the maximum value of the molten steel flow velocity in all directions is calculated as the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity. Further, the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 uses the data of the flowing state of the molten steel 2 in the molten steel flowing state calculation mesh (the entire area in the width direction) at predetermined positions in the height direction (casting direction) and the thickness direction of the mold 4. The area of the molten steel flow state calculation mesh in which the molten steel flow velocity is equal to or lower than a predetermined value is calculated.
- the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 determines the area of the molten steel flow state calculation mesh in which the molten steel flow velocity is equal to or lower than a predetermined value in the entire region in the width direction and in the mold height direction at least 200 mm below the meniscus position. The long sides of the mold are summed up on each side, and the value is taken as the low flow velocity area. Further, the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 determines the maximum value of the turbulent flow energy in the molten steel flow state calculation mesh (entire region in the width direction and the thickness direction) of the uppermost stage of the mold 4 from the data of the flowing state of the molten steel 2. Calculated as the maximum value of surface turbulence energy.
- the turbulent flow energy is a value that indicates the strength of the turbulence of the flow, and is given based on the magnitude of the deviation from the time average value of the time-varying flow velocity at a certain spatial position.
- the turbulent flow energy is given by the following mathematical formula.
- U is the instantaneous value of the fluid velocity at a certain spatial position
- U ave is the time average value of the fluid velocity at a certain spatial position
- U i is the time average value of the fluid velocity at a certain spatial position. Indicates a shift.
- the low flow velocity area is an effective index because it has an effect of reducing impurities (air bubbles and inclusions) captured by the molten steel 2 in the solidified shell when the molten steel flow at the solidification interface of the slab is fast.
- the flow velocity to be determined as a low flow velocity may be individually determined according to the steel type component, the required quality level, the mold size, etc., and is not fixed. According to the investigation by the present inventors, a value less than 0.05 m/s can be adopted as a criterion for determining a low flow velocity.
- the low flow velocity area is, for example, when the unit area of the molten steel flow state calculation mesh is 1 cm 2 (0.0001 m 2 ), and the unit mesh determined to have a low flow velocity on one side of the long side of the mold is 100 mesh, It is assumed that the low flow velocity area is 0.01 m 2 .
- the appropriate value of the low flow velocity area may be individually determined according to the steel type component, the required quality level, the mold size, etc., and should not be set to a constant value. According to a study by the present inventors, when the required quality level is strict, 0.01 m 2 or less is used, and when the required quality level is not so strict, 0.02 m 2 or less is used as a guideline. Can be adopted.
- the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity is an effective index because it has the effect of reducing the entrainment of mold powder into the molten steel 2 when the molten steel flow on the molten steel surface is slow. Further, the maximum value of the molten steel surface turbulent flow energy is an effective index for the same reason as the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity.
- the operating condition control unit 13 determines the casting speed, the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field, and the nozzle immersion depth according to the molten steel flow index. Control operating conditions such as For example, when the area where the coagulation interface flow velocity is equal to or lower than a predetermined value exceeds a predetermined value, the operating conditions are controlled so that the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field is increased and the electromagnetic stirring force is strengthened. This is because if the flow velocity is further applied to the molten steel in the mold by the electromagnetic stirring force, the molten steel flow velocity will increase even at the position where the solidification interface flow velocity is below a predetermined value.
- the operating condition may be controlled so that the depth of the immersion nozzle is shallow. This is because when the depth of the immersion nozzle is made shallower, the influence of the discharge flow of the molten steel discharged from the immersion nozzle appears more on the molten steel surface side and acts to increase the molten steel flow velocity on the molten steel surface.
- the operating conditions may be controlled so as to increase the depth of the immersion nozzle while increasing the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field.
- the depth of the immersion nozzle is increased, the influence of the molten steel discharge flow discharged from the immersion nozzle is less likely to appear on the molten steel surface side, and acts to reduce the molten steel surface flow velocity and/or the molten steel surface turbulent energy. is there.
- the flow state of the molten steel 2 in the mold 4 changes according to the operating state of the continuous casting machine 1.
- the immersion nozzle 5 having the discharge ports 5a at two positions on the left and right inclusion of alumina or the like adheres to the discharge ports 5a on one side, so that the molten steel in the mold 4 is melted.
- This drift occurs even under the same operating conditions such as the casting width, casting speed, and magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field. Therefore, the flow state of molten steel including drift is measured using the measurement value of the temperature sensor installed in the mold 4.
- the molten steel flow index can be accurately estimated online by accurately reproducing.
- the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 by correcting the calculation conditions in the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 so as to correspond to the measured values of the temperature sensor installed in the mold 4 and sequentially updating the calculated values, the molten steel flow index can be obtained more accurately online.
- the number of temperature sensors installed, the pitch, and the sampling interval of the measurement values may be set within a range that is possible depending on the environment in which the present invention is implemented. According to the investigation by the present inventors, when the temperature sensors are arranged at a pitch of 50 mm or less and a pitch of 100 mm or less in the casting direction and the width direction, respectively, and measurement values are collected at intervals of 1 second or less, the molten steel flow index calculation The calculation accuracy of the unit 12 is further improved.
- the low flow velocity area was considered as the area where the solidification interface flow velocity is below a predetermined value, but the molten steel flow index is not limited to the flow velocity of the solidification interface itself. If there is a region with a low flow velocity in the molten steel flow (stirring flow) caused by the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field, etc., such a region will adversely affect the capture of bubbles and inclusions at the solidification interface. It can be used as an indicator. As described above, the low flow velocity area is not limited to the solidification interface flow velocity, and various ways of definition are possible.
- the maximum value of the molten steel surface flow velocity and the maximum value of the molten steel surface turbulent flow energy represent the surface state of the molten steel and are associated with the entrainment of mold powder as described above. Therefore, the molten steel flow index is not limited to these maximum values, and can be used as the molten steel flow index by appropriately defining the velocity or flow state of the molten steel surface.
- FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are diagrams showing the relationship between the change amount of the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field and the change amount of the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity under two conditions in which the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field is different. Under the conditions shown in FIG. 4A, the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity hardly changes even if the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field is changed.
- the second point is that there is mutual interference between operating conditions and molten steel flow index.
- increasing the casting rate decreases the low flow area while increasing the molten steel surface maximum flow rate.
- the maximum value of the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity and the molten steel surface turbulent flow energy can be changed by changing the immersion depth of the immersion nozzle.
- the change amount of the operating condition is implicitly obtained by the convergence calculation, the calculation time becomes long and it becomes difficult to control dynamically. Therefore, it is desirable to explicitly calculate the change amount of the operating condition in consideration of the interference and reflect it in the operating condition in the next control cycle.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of operation condition control processing by the controller of the continuous casting machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is started each time the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 calculates the molten steel flow index, and the operation condition control process proceeds to step S1.
- the operating conditions A, B, and C are changed in order to control the low flow velocity area S, the molten steel surface maximum velocity V, and the maximum value E of the molten steel surface turbulence energy as the molten steel flow index. ..
- step S1 the operating condition control unit 13 determines whether all the molten steel flow indexes calculated by the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 are within the proper range. As a result of the determination, when all the molten steel flow indexes are within the proper range (step S1: Yes), the operating condition control unit 13 does not change the operating condition and ends the series of operating condition control processing. On the other hand, when at least one of the molten steel flow indexes is out of the appropriate range (step S1: No), the operating condition control unit 13 advances the operating condition control process to the process of step S2.
- the operating condition control unit 13 estimates the molten steel flow state when the operating conditions to be operated are slightly changed, and calculates the molten steel flow index. If the amount of change in the operating conditions is changed from the original operating conditions, the estimation accuracy of the molten steel flow distribution may be deteriorated. Therefore, it is preferable to change the amount of change within 10% of the original operating conditions. Then, the operating condition control unit 13 calculates the difference between the calculated molten steel flow index and the molten steel flow index calculated by the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12, and the sensitivity of the molten steel flow index when the respective operating conditions are changed. The sensitivity matrix X is obtained by calculating the vector.
- Sensitivity vector of molten steel flow index when operating condition A is changed ( ⁇ S/ ⁇ A, ⁇ V/ ⁇ A, ⁇ E/ ⁇ A)
- sensitivity vector of molten steel flow index when operating condition B is changed ( ⁇ S/ ⁇ B, ⁇ V/ ⁇ B, ⁇ E/ ⁇ B)
- sensitivity vector ( ⁇ S/ ⁇ C, ⁇ V, ⁇ C, ⁇ E/ ⁇ ) of molten steel flow index when operating condition C is changed.
- the sensitivity matrix X when C) is obtained is shown in the following mathematical expression (1).
- the operating condition control unit 13 obtains the deviation vector Y by calculating the difference value between the molten steel flow index calculated by the molten steel flow index calculation unit 12 and each appropriate range.
- the deviation vector Y is expressed by the following equation (2). To be done. As a result, the process of step S3 is completed, and the operation condition control process proceeds to step S4.
- the operating condition control unit 13 uses the sensitivity matrix X obtained by the process of step S2 and the deviation vector Y obtained by the process of step S3 to change the optimal operating condition by the least square method.
- the following mathematical expression (3) shows the relationship between the sensitivity matrix X, the deviation vector Y, the operating condition change amount vector Z, and the error vector ⁇ .
- the least-squares method is a method of obtaining a change amount vector Z that minimizes the sum of squares of the error vector ⁇ in Expression (3) as an optimal solution, and the change amount vector Z of the optimum operating condition is expressed by Expression (4) below.
- step S4 the process of step S4 is completed, and the operation condition control process proceeds to step S5.
- Operating conditions Specifically, the operating condition control unit 13 uses the operating conditions A+ ⁇ A, B+ ⁇ B, C+ ⁇ C in the next control cycle. As a result, the process of step S5 is completed, and the series of operating condition control processes is completed.

- the proper range of the low flow velocity area was set to 0.02 m 2 or less, and the proper range of the molten steel surface maximum flow velocity was set to 0.05 to 0.30 m/s for the operation.
- the low flow velocity area calculated during the operation of the continuous casting machine 1 became larger than the appropriate range, so the magnetic flux density of the electromagnetic stirring magnetic field was increased by 5%.
