Definitions
- the present invention relates to a secondary cooling device and a secondary cooling method for continuously cast slabs.
- a general method for manufacturing a continuously cast slab will be described with reference to FIG. 4 by taking a vertical bending type continuous casting facility as an example.
- the molten steel injected into the mold 21 from the tundish (not shown) is primarily cooled by the mold 21 to form a flat plate-shaped slab 5 forming a solidified shell, which is flat and descends from the vertical band 23 to the curved band 27. Proceed to. Then, at the bent portion 25 on the entry side of the curved band 27, the slab 5 is bent while being guided by a plurality of rolls (not shown) so as to maintain a constant radius of curvature.
- the straightening portion 29 is bent back (corrected) while gradually increasing the radius of curvature, and when the straightening portion 29 is exited, the slab 5 becomes flat again and proceeds to the horizontal band 31.
- the slab 5 is cut to a predetermined length by the gas cutting machine 33 installed on the exit side of the continuous casting machine.
- the slab 5 is secondary using a water spray (water one-fluid spray or water-air two-fluid mixed mist spray) to complete solidification from the vertical band 23 to the horizontal band 31 to the center. Cooling is being carried out.
- a water spray water one-fluid spray or water-air two-fluid mixed mist spray
- the strength of the shell is secured by injecting a large flow rate of water in the vertical band 23 directly under the mold 21 to carry out strong cooling.
- the cooling is weakened, and the surface temperature is raised (reheated) by heat conduction from the high temperature portion inside. Then, the surface temperature of the straightening portion 29 is adjusted so as to be equal to or higher than the embrittlement temperature range to avoid the occurrence of lateral cracks.
- the casting speed changes significantly during the period from the start of continuous casting until the casting speed reaches the maximum speed, and the period during which the injection of molten steel into the mold is stopped and continuous casting is completed. At this time, the cooling conditions of the secondary cooling zone must be controlled according to the change in the casting speed.
- the casting speed is increased, the central part of the slab is straightened without solidification, and strong cooling is performed in the horizontal zone at the end of the continuous casting process to complete solidification. Be done. Applicability of such a method differs depending on the steel type, and the range of the strong cooling zone and the amount of cooling water must be controlled by the thickness and speed of the slab in order to prevent excess or deficiency of cooling.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a technique for obtaining a stable injection state even when the amount of water is significantly changed by a two-fluid spray using water and compressed air.
- Patent Document 2 two systems of cooling water in which pressure and flow rate are independently controlled by cooling one fluid of water are introduced into a single injection port, and the supply flow rate of cooling water is significantly changed according to cooling conditions. Has been proposed.
- Patent Document 3 proposes a technique for changing the supply flow rate of cooling water by properly using a water-one-fluid spray and a water-air two-fluid spray according to the amount of water.
- Patent Document 4 proposes a technique of installing two rows of water-one-fluid sprays between rolls and switching between one or both rows for injecting water according to a change in casting speed for cooling.
- Patent Document 1 Although a stable injection distribution can be obtained in a wide range of the amount of cooling water with a single nozzle, it is necessary to greatly change the supply pressure of the cooling water, so that the pressure is particularly high under a large flow rate condition. The loss will be large. In this case, since a large amount of compressed air is required, it is necessary to install a large-capacity compressor, which increases the equipment cost and the operating cost.
- control range of the amount of water injected from the nozzle can be expanded by supplying two systems of cooling water having different pressures and flow rates without requiring compressed air.
- the amount of sprayed water can be controlled by the pressure of water supplied to the nozzle, but it is generally known that the amount of sprayed water is proportional to the square root of the pressure.
- the pressure ratio For example, in order to realize a turndown ratio of 40 times, the minimum / maximum pressure ratio becomes 1600 times, which exceeds the control capacity of the pump.
- Patent Document 3 although the air consumption is suppressed by using the two-fluid spray only in the low flow rate region, there is a problem in equipment and operation cost as in Patent Document 1.
- pressure loss is suppressed and the stability of the injection distribution is ensured, but the pipes of two water systems and one air system must be placed in the space between the same rolls. , The design load and manufacturing cost of the continuous casting machine increase.
- Patent Document 4 Although the design is simplified by using two systems of water and one fluid, it is difficult to reduce the roll interval because two rows of sprays are arranged between the rolls.
- the inability to reduce the roll interval is disadvantageous in suppressing bulging in which the central portion of the slab width swells due to the static pressure of the unsolidified molten steel in the central portion of the slab, resulting in poor internal quality of the slab.

[Embodiment 2] Next, the secondary cooling method using the secondary cooling device 1 described in the first embodiment will be described.
- a suitable secondary cooling method can be realized even when the casting speed changes, but by using the secondary cooling device 1, the amount of cooling water can be further reduced.
- the casting speed can be increased while reducing the amount. This point will be described below.
- the slab 5 is sprayed with water (water one-fluid spray or water-air two-fluid mixed mist) to complete solidification from the vertical band 23 to the horizontal band 31 to the center after leaving the mold.
- Secondary cooling using (spray) is carried out.
- the strength of the shell is secured by injecting a large flow rate of water in the vertical band 23 from directly under the mold to entering the curved band 27 to carry out strong cooling.
- the cooling is weakened, and the surface temperature is raised (reheated) by heat conduction from the high temperature portion inside. Then, in the straightening zone, the surface temperature is adjusted so as to be above the embrittlement temperature range to avoid the occurrence of lateral cracks.
- nucleate boiling is a boiling state in which bubbles are generated around the foaming point and the coolant can take very high heat from the object to be cooled.
- the boiling state that has not reached nucleate boiling is called membrane boiling.
- Membrane boiling is a boiling state in which a vapor film is formed at the boundary between the coolant and the object to be cooled, which becomes a heat insulating layer, and the amount of heat that the coolant can take from the object to be cooled is small.
- the inventor found that 500 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) or more is required. It was also found that since the flow rate dependence of the cooling capacity becomes small in the nucleate boiling state, it is not necessary to excessively increase the cooling water supply capacity, and the water density may be 2000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) or less.
- the nucleate boiling state is realized with a large flow rate of cooling water and the surface temperature of the slab is lowered, the nucleate boiling can be maintained without injecting a large amount of cooling water. Therefore, when the total amount of cooling water that can be used in the entire continuous casting machine is limited, the water amount density in the subsequent stage of the strong cooling zone may be reduced to less than 500 L / (m 2 ⁇ min). However, as a result of the examination by the inventors, it was also found that the nucleate boiling state cannot be stably maintained unless the water density is 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) or more.
- the amount of cooling water is reduced by performing strong cooling in the nucleate boiling state at a large flow rate in the previous stage and strong cooling at a small flow rate that maintains the nucleate boiling in the latter stage.
- the casting speed can be increased.
- the secondary cooling method for the continuously cast slab of the present embodiment is continuously composed of the vertical band 23, the bent portion 25, the curved band 27, the straightening section 29, and the horizontal band 31 from the upstream side in the casting direction.
- This is a method for cooling a continuously cast slab in which the slab 5 is secondarily cooled by using the secondary cooling device 1 for the continuously cast slab according to the first embodiment in the secondary cooling zone of the casting machine.
- the section on the upstream side in the casting direction in the horizontal zone 31 of the secondary cooling zone is a strong water cooling section in which the cooling water is injected to cool the slab 5 under the condition that the injected cooling water is in a nuclear boiling state on the surface of the slab.
- the water volume density of the cooling water is reduced, and the boiling state of the coolant on the slab surface is maintained at nuclear boiling. It is a weak water cooling section.
- nucleate boiling As a strong water cooling section that realizes nucleate boiling, it is sufficient that there is one minimum water amount control section that can individually control the water amount density in the uppermost stream portion of the horizontal zone 31. If the nucleate boiling is realized, in the subsequent sections, it is sufficient to cool with the minimum water density for maintaining the nucleate boiling, whereby the cooling by the nucleate boiling can be stably performed.
- cameras will be installed in each section to monitor the amount of water smoke generated by visual observation or measurement with a transmissometer.
- the threshold value of the amount of water smoke generated to distinguish between nucleate boiling and membrane boiling is obtained in advance by an experiment, and by confirming whether or not the amount of water smoke generated exceeds the threshold value, the nucleate boiling state is set in a predetermined section. You can check if you have achieved it. Then, if the nucleate boiling state has not been achieved, the amount of cooling water is adjusted to be increased. This ensures that the nucleate boiling state can be achieved and maintained.
- the fluid temperature and the solid temperature are locally equal at the point of contact between them. Since the temperature of liquid water rises only to the boiling point under atmospheric pressure, it is considered that the surface temperature of the slab is also about 100 ° C. if nucleate boiling is realized. Therefore, the nucleate boiling state is achieved by measuring the temperature of the slab surface and the surrounding cooling water using a contact-type thermometer having a small probe and confirming that the temperature is stable at around 100 ° C. Can be confirmed if has been achieved. Then, if the nucleate boiling state has not been achieved, the amount of cooling water is adjusted to be increased. This ensures that the nucleate boiling state can be achieved and maintained.
- each segment constituting the horizontal band 31 By making the design of each segment constituting the horizontal band 31 common, it is possible to control a wide jet water amount range with the same configuration, and further, it is possible to efficiently maintain the continuous casting machine.
- the range of the strong water cooling section differs depending on the slab thickness and steel type, it is preferable that the range can be flexibly changed in the casting direction, that is, the longitudinal direction of the slab 5.
- the secondary cooling device 1 capable of obtaining a large turndown ratio is installed in all the segments constituting the horizontal band 31.
- the present invention is produced by manufacturing a slab 5 using a vertical bending type continuous casting machine (see FIG. 4) in which the secondary cooling device 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) of the first embodiment is installed in a horizontal band 31. An example in which the effect of is confirmed will be described.
- the water spray nozzle 7 was designed to use four types, but in some examples, the nozzle types used are limited.
- the machine length of the continuous casting machine is 45 m, and a thermometer and a gas cutting machine 33 for measuring the temperature distribution on the surface of the slab are installed at the machine end.
- the slab 5 was manufactured by changing the cooling conditions, casting speed, and slab thickness, and the temperature unevenness during cooling, the surface texture and internal defects after casting, and the manufacturing cost were evaluated.
- Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 and 2 235 mm thick slabs 5 were manufactured under the conditions of the prior art and the conditions to which the technique of the present invention was applied, respectively.
- Comparative Example 1 a section was set in which cooling was performed by a one-fluid spray and cooling was performed under a large flow rate condition on the way in order to increase the casting speed.
- the minimum value of the set water density was 10 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)
- the maximum value was 100 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)
- the target turndown ratio was 10 times.
- Example 1 the technique of the present invention is applied to use two types of water spray nozzles and a water supply line 9, and the water supply pressure ratio is 5 times and the turndown ratio is 20 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2). ⁇ min) to a maximum of 1000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)) could be stably realized. Since the strong cooling conditions with a larger flow rate were stably realized than in the case of manufacturing using the prior art, the upper limit of the casting speed could be increased from 1.8 mpm to 2.7 mmp. Inspection after manufacturing revealed no defects such as cracks. In addition, because it is a one-fluid spray, it does not require an air compressor, and equipment installation costs and operating costs can be reduced.
- Example 2 In Example 2, four types of nozzles and pipes are used, and the water supply pressure ratio is 5 times and the turndown ratio is 40 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 2000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)). It was possible to realize it stably. Since the strong cooling conditions with a large flow rate were stably realized as compared with the case of manufacturing using the conventional technique, the upper limit of the casting speed could be further increased from 1.8 mpm to 3.0 mpm. Inspection after manufacturing revealed no defects such as cracks.
- Comparative Examples 2 and 3 and Examples 3 and 4 are examples in which the slab thickness was changed to 200 mm and 260 mm under the same cooling conditions as in Comparative Example 1 and Example 2, respectively.
- Example 4 the maximum casting speed was 2.8 mpm, which was faster than the maximum of 1.3 mpm in Comparative Example 3, and it was possible to manufacture without causing defects.
- Comparative Example 4 is a study result when one kind of two-fluid spray is used.
- the cooling water supply pressure ratio is 30 times and the turndown ratio is 20 times (minimum 10 L / (m 2 x min) to maximum 200 L / (m 2 x min)), and Comparative Examples 1 to 1 to It was found that a high turndown can be achieved with a smaller pressure ratio than 3.
- Comparative Example 5 is a method of switching between one-fluid spray and two-fluid spray, and a higher turndown ratio (20 times) can be realized with a lower pressure ratio (5 times) than that of Comparative Example 4. In this case as well, the cost was inferior to that of the examples, so the introduction of equipment was postponed.
- Comparative Example 6 is an example in which two types of one-fluid spray nozzles are used to achieve a turndown ratio of 20 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 1000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)) at a pressure ratio of 5 times.
- the distance between the guide rolls was widened, and two types of nozzles were arranged in two rows parallel to the rolls.
- Experiments were conducted by introducing this cooling device only in some segments of the secondary cooling zone where a high turndown ratio is required.
- the range of water density and the turndown ratio were the same as in Example 1, as a result of arranging the spray nozzles in two rows, the roll interval became wider and the bulging amount became larger. Therefore, when the slab 5 after casting was inspected, internal cracks were observed, and the degree of central segregation also deteriorated.
- Example 5 is an example in which two types of one-fluid spray nozzles are used and the pressure ratio is doubled and the turndown ratio is 40 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 2000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)). Is. However, in this example, the control range of the cooling capacity was limited to two levels, weak cooling and strong cooling, so the supply pressure ratio could be reduced by 5 to 2 times by reducing the flow rate control range of each water spray nozzle. ..
- control range of the flow rate of the entire cooling device is intermittent.
- the controllability of the cooling capacity against fluctuations in the casting speed is inferior to that of the first and second embodiments, high-speed casting of the same degree is possible, and defects are also observed in the slab 5 after production. There wasn't.
- Example 6 is an example in which two types of one-fluid spray nozzles are used and the pressure ratio is doubled and the turndown ratio is 11 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 550 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)). Is.
- the maximum water density was reduced to the extent that nucleate boiling could be maintained, so the upper limit of the casting speed was 2.5 mpm, which was higher than in Examples 1, 2, and 5 having the same slab thickness of 235 mm.
- the cost is low. There was no operational problem, and no defects were found in the slab 5 after production.
- Example 6 is an example in which two types of one-fluid spray nozzles are used and the pressure ratio is doubled and the turndown ratio is 11 times (minimum 50 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 550 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)). Is.
- the maximum water density was reduced to the extent that nucleate boiling could be maintained, so the upper limit of the casting speed was 2.5 mpm, which was higher than in Examples 1, 2, and 5 having the same slab thickness of 235 mm.
- the cost is low. There was no operational problem, and no defects were found in the slab 5 after production.
- Example 7 is an example in which two types of one-fluid spray nozzles are used and the pressure ratio is 5 times and the turndown ratio is 5 times (minimum 400 L / (m 2 ⁇ min) to maximum 2000 L / (m 2 ⁇ min)). Is.
- Example 8 was a turndown ratio of 20 times 5 times pressure ratio by using two kinds of single-fluid spray nozzle (Min 45L / (m 2 ⁇ min) ⁇ up 900L / (m 2 ⁇ min) ) Example Is.
- Min 45L / (m 2 ⁇ min) ⁇ up 900L / (m 2 ⁇ min) Example Is.
- the upper limit of the casting speed was 2.6 mpm, although the slab had slight surface cracks.
- the secondary cooling device 1 capable of increasing the turndown ratio, the controllability of the secondary cooling with respect to the fluctuation of the casting speed is improved, and the slab of high quality while increasing the casting speed. It was demonstrated that the production of 5 can be realized.
- the present invention is applied to the horizontal zone 31 is shown, but it may be applied to another cooling zone on the upstream side of the horizontal zone 31, or may be applied across a plurality of cooling zones. ..
