Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the continuous casting of steel in a casting plant, wherein a emerging from a mold strand in the liquid core reduction (LCR) method is reduced in thickness by means of a subsequent strand guiding device at liquid cross-sectional core of the strand, wherein the strand one between the meniscus , ie The bath level of the mold and an end of the strand guiding device facing away from the mold, system-specific strand support length with a casting speed passes, according to claim 1 and a corresponding system for performing this method according to claim 13.
- LCR liquid core reduction
- a liquid steel strand emerging from a mold of a casting plant is passed through a strand guiding device directly adjoining the mold.
- the strand guiding device also referred to as "strand guiding corset”
- the strand guiding device comprises a plurality (usually three to fifteen) guiding segments, each guiding segment comprising one or more (usually three to ten) pairs of guiding elements, preferably designed as strand supporting rollers.
- the support rollers are rotatable about an axis orthogonal to the transport direction of the strand.
- these are arranged on both sides of the strand broad sides, so that the strand is guided by upper and lower guide element series.
- the strand is supported not only by the strand guiding device, but also by a lower end portion of the mold, which is why you have to view the mold as part of the entire strand guiding device.
- the Strangerstarrung begins at the upper end of the (run) kokille at the bath level, the so-called "meniscus", the mold is typically about 1m long (0.3 - 1.5m).
- the strand emerges substantially vertically downwards from the mold and is deflected into the horizontal.
- the strand guiding device therefore has a course substantially curved over an angular range of 90 °.
- Each casting installation has a structurally determined strand support length L passed through by the strand at a casting speed v c , which is measured between the meniscus and an end of the strand guiding device facing away from the mold.
- Known CSP® plants for steel hot strip production have approximately strand support lengths L of 9-13 m.
- the strand support length L is a static, plant-specific size and can not be modified by short-term change measures.
- the expansion and use of a kokillenfernen last strand guide segment by a simple roller table (not yet realized) would normally take several days.
- the strand emerging from the strand guiding device can subsequently be reduced in thickness or finish rolled in any number of rolling stands.
- the present invention for optimized continuous casting can be used in known cast-rolled composite plants.
- the emerging from the strand guide strand is first separated by means of a separation device into individual slabs or rolled without separation in a subsequent roughing train to an intermediate strip and subsequently rolled after reheating or keeping warm in a heating device in a finishing train to a final strip.
- the strand is reduced in thickness, the resulting intermediate strip is heated by means of a heater before it enters the finishing train.
- the finishing train is hot rolled, that is, the rolling stock has a temperature above its recrystallization temperature during rolling. For steel this is the range above about 750 ° C, usually is rolled at temperatures up to 1200 ° C warm.
- the metal is usually in the austenitic state, where the iron atoms are arranged cubic face centered.
- the austenite area of a steel depends on the steel composition, but is usually above 800 ° C.
- Decisive parameters in the production process of steel hot-rolled strip-casting systems are the casting speed with which the strand leaves the mold (and passes through the strand guide device) and the width-specific mass flow rate, which is given as the product of the casting speed with the thickness of the strand and usually the unit [mm * m / min] carries.
- the steel strips produced are processed, inter alia, for motor vehicles, household appliances and the construction industry.
- the present invention relates to the casting of strands or slabs of all thicknesses and is therefore applicable to the production of both thin slabs ( ⁇ 80 mm), medium and thick slabs (> 150 mm).
- the present invention is further applicable to both continuous and semi-continuous production of steel hot strip.
- continuous rolling when a casting plant is connected to a rolling mill, that cast in the mold of the casting line directly - without separation from the straight cast strand part and without intermediate storage - led into the rolling mill and there on one each desired final thickness is rolled.
- the beginning of the strand can already be finished rolled to a steel strip to the final thickness, while the casting plant continues to pour on the same strand, so there is no end of the strand (except on the meniscus in the mold) exists.
- the cast strands are divided after casting and fed the separated strands or slabs without intermediate storage and cooling to ambient temperature of the rolling mill.
- AT 401 744 discloses a continuous casting apparatus with liquid core reduction.
- the strand guiding device forms between the guide elements or the strand support rollers a partially curved receiving shaft for receiving the freshly cast (still having a liquid core) strand.
- end of the strand guiding device is thus understood in the present context intended for strand contacting guide surface or surface line of the last of the roughing facing guide element or the last support roller of the upper guide elements series.
- a kokillenfernere "Sumpfspitze" of the liquid sump is defined as that central cross-sectional area of the strand, in which the temperature just corresponds to the steel solidus temperature and then drops below this.
- the temperature of the sump tip (in the geometric strand cross-section center) therefore corresponds to the solidus temperature of the respective steel grade (typically between 1300 ° C and 1535 ° C).
- Soft-reduction devices are used only in a region of the strand in which the strand cross-section is consistently doughy or solid, i. practically has no pronounced liquid central area more.
- a pronounced liquid central region is absolutely necessary.
- the sump tip d.i. the just doughy-liquid cross-sectional core of the strand conveyed in the strand guiding device is always as far away as possible from the mold and as close to the end of the strand guiding device and thus - in the case of a casting-rolling composite - as close as possible to the entrance to the roughing mill.
- the casting speed or the Strand guiding device passing, wide-specific volume flow may not be too large, since in such a case could shift out of the sump tip beyond the strand guide device and thus bulging and possibly even bursting of the strand could take place.
- Claim 1 is directed to a process for the continuous casting of steel in a casting plant, wherein a strand emerging from a mold in the liquid core reduction (LCR) process by means of a subsequent strand guiding device at liquid cross-sectional core of the strand is reduced in thickness, wherein the strand one between the meniscus, ie the bath level of the mold and an end of the strand guiding device facing away from the mold, system-specific strand support length L passes through with a casting speed v c .
- LCR liquid core reduction
- the strand thickness d is adjusted dynamically by means of adjustable guide elements of the strand guiding device, ie several times and as often as desired during the casting process or during the passage of the strand through the strand guiding device (eg at least 2 times per casting sequence or at least 1 additional time via initial Strangdicken-Einstellvorêt addition during the Ang manphase, with the starting phase is usually understood as the first 5-15 minutes of a casting sequence or the time to fill the strand support length 0.8 to 2 times with hot steel strand) is varied so that between the measured at the end facing away from the mold end of the strand guide device strand thickness d and the (also measured at the end of the strand guiding device) casting speed v c depending on the system-specific Strand support length L for more than 75%, preferably for more than 90% of the operating time of the casting plant (operating time refers to a casting sequence, eg during a shift or daytime operation at regular plant utilization) following by operating coefficients a, in particular by a minimum operating
- the minimum operating coefficient is a min 2050, preferably 2400 and the maximum operating coefficient a max 2850, preferably 2800.
- the strand support length L is in the unit [m], the strand thickness d in the unit [mm] and the casting speed v c in the unit [m / min] indicated.
- the indication of the above mentioned units refers to a hypothetical indication, not to actual measurement results or to quantities necessarily handled in specific casting plants. It goes without saying that the parametric variables of the inequality conditions according to the invention: a min * (L / d 2 ) ⁇ v c ⁇ a max * (L / d 2 ) can be determined in arbitrary alternative units, in particular can be measured on the system. However, to uniquely define operating coefficients of the invention, reference to reference units is essential.
- the unit [mm] for the strand thickness d and the unit [m / min] for the casting speed v c is followed by a reduction of the factors of the unit [mm 2 / min] for the operating coefficients a.
- the operating coefficients a min and a max when specifying or measuring strand support length, strand thickness and casting speed in units other than [m], [mm] and [m / min] in an alternative unit or as of the Nominally deviating values can be specified according to the values indicated according to the invention.
- the strand thickness (up to approximately the thickness of the mold outlet) can henceforth be increased, except during the gating phase, during operational or quality-related lowering of the casting speed, without interrupting the casting process.
- the dynamic strand thickness reduction according to the invention while maintaining the conditions defined by the above inequalities, on the one hand ensures high manufacturing quality by always reaching the bottom tip of the strand close to the end of the strand guiding device, despite the maximum material casting-dependent maximum casting speeds. On the other hand, the throughput of the plant can be maximized.
- the casting heat can be optimally utilized to increase the efficiency of subsequent rolling processes of a casting-rolling composite.
- a strand emerging from the strand guiding device according to the invention has a sufficiently hot cross-sectional core during its further reduction in thickness in a rough rolling mill downstream of the strand guiding device to be rolled with relatively little energy expenditure, in particular if the rolling process is not later than four minutes later, preferably not later than two minutes after strand solidification begins.
- the sump tip of the strand lies in the last third of the suture, preferably in the last quarter, preferably in the last fifth of the strand guiding device or strand support length L.
- the preservation of the highest possible strand energy content proves to be a significant advantage, especially in continuous composite processes, which allows a throughput improvement of up to 35% in phases of reduced casting speed (eg if the strand thickness is increased dynamically from about 65-70 mm to 95 mm; in that the strand at the mold outlet is ⁇ 95 mm thick).
- the following also applies:
