    SEMI-CONTINUOUS CONTINUOUS STEELING OF A STEEL STRUCTURE FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY
    The present invention relates to a method for semi-continuous continuous casting of a strand, preferably a billet, made of steel in a continuous casting machine and a suitable continuous casting machine.
    STATE OF THE ART
    The majority of the total amount of steel produced today is cast into strands in continuously operated continuous casting machines with high throughput. Only about 5% of the total quantity of steel is poured into billets (englots, ingots). The pre-block casting is described, for example, in the ASM Handbook, Volume 15: Casting, Chapter "Steel Ingot Casting", pages 911-917, DOI: 10.1361 / asmhba0005295. Although the proportion of liquid steel that is poured over the so-called ingot route to Vorblöcken is small However, the ingot route is very profitable because of its suitability for special steel grades and formats.
    Advantages of pre-block casting are: [0004] - High flexibility in product dimensions, favorable for small batch sizes, unique in large formats; [0005] suitability for special steel grades (eg for cold forming steels CHQ, HSLA steels, high-alloyed steels with about 5% alloy fractions, such as Cr, Ni, Mo, chain steels, free-cutting steels with a high content of S, Pb, Bi); 1% C, 1.2% Cr, 0.25% Ni, 0.25% Mo, etc.); and [0006] - higher quality in terms of avoiding center segregation and porosity, especially filament porosity in the center of the strand.
    Disadvantages of the pre-block casting are: [0008] slow but insufficiently controllable cooling rates in the pre-block mold; - Higher Ausbringverluste by the separation of the head and foot part of the billet; - higher operating costs; and [0011] - lower structural symmetry and purity.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    Applicant's investigations have shown that the higher quality of the pre-block casting with respect to center segregation and porosity is mainly due to the slow solidification rate and the solidification directed from the strand beginning to the strand end in the center region of the billet. The solidification in the center is globular or with an axially oriented solidification front, so that any occurring dendrites are avoided, which form bridges in the center and obstruct the suction of the melt. A yarn porosity in the center is thus largely excluded. In contrast, the properties of continuous casting are exactly the opposite. Extremely low cooling rates, as in the case of pre-block casting, can not be achieved in continuously operated continuous casting machines because the machine length is limited for economic reasons. Due to the higher cooling rate associated with the more radially directed from outside to inside solidification in continuous casting a dendritic solidification and thus Zentrumsseigerung and porosity is caused. Therefore, according to the state of the art, large formats which are intended to be essentially free of center segregations and porosities, in particular of thread porosities, are produced via the ingot route. The higher operating costs, lower output and disadvantages in the structural symmetry and purity of the billet are accepted.
    The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a process for the semi-continuous continuous casting of a strand, preferably a billet, of steel, in which the strand [0014] has a low center segregation and porosity, [0016] and still quickly, ie with high throughput, can be potted. As a result, the semi-continuously cast strand should on the one hand have similar or even better metallurgical properties than a bloom produced by the classical ingot route; On the other hand, however, the strand should be able to be produced with a similarly high throughput as in a continuously operated continuous casting machine.
    Finally, a suitable continuous casting machine should be specified.
    This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
    According to the invention, in the method for semi-continuous casting of a strand, preferably a billet, made of steel in a continuous casting machine, wherein the continuous casting a cooled continuous casting mold for primary cooling of the strand, followed by a strand guide for supporting and guiding the strand with a - typically comprising a plurality of cooling nozzles - Secondary cooling to cool the strand, and in turn followed by tertiary cooling for further cooling of the strand, the following process steps carried out: - casting start of the continuous casting machine, wherein liquid steel is poured into the sealed by a cold strand continuous casting mold and the liquid steel with the dummy strand a solidified Stranganfang and subsequently forms a teilerstarrten strand; Extracting the partially solidified strand from the continuous casting mold; - Supporting and guiding the teilerstarrten strand in the strand guide, wherein the partially solidified strand is cooled by the secondary cooling; Casting end of the continuous casting machine, wherein the casting of liquid steel is terminated in the continuous mold and forms a strand end; Extracting the end of the strand from the continuous casting mold; Terminating the extraction so that the strand end is outside the continuous casting mold (i.e., in the region of the secondary cooling zone or the tertiary cooling zone of the continuous casting machine); Ending the secondary cooling; - Controlled or controlled cooling of the partially solidified strand until the solidification of the strand in the Tertiärkühlzone the continuous casting machine, wherein the cooling is set at the Stranganfang stronger and decreasing towards the strand end; - Feeding the strand from the continuous casting machine.
    The continuous casting machine used is divided into three parts. The chilled continuous casting mold for primary cooling of the strand, which is typically made of copper or a copper alloy, is followed by a strand guide for supporting and guiding the strand with a secondary cooling, typically comprising a plurality of single-material (mostly so-called water-only nozzles) and / or multi-substance nozzles (mostly so-called. airmist nozzles) to cool the partially solidified strand shell and a tertiary cooling zone to further cool the strand.
    In order to avoid bending or bending back of the strand, it is advantageous if the continuous casting machine is designed as a vertical continuous casting machine with a vertical mold, a vertical strand guide and a vertical Tertiärkühlzone.
    The casting process of the continuous casting machine, liquid steel (typically from a metallurgical vessel, such as a pan or a Gießverteiler) potted in the sealed by a cold strand continuous casting mold, wherein the liquid steel with the cold strand a solidified Stranganfang and a Stranganfang subsequent teilerstarrten strand (ie a solid strand shell and a liquid core) is formed. The flow from the metallurgical vessel into the continuous casting mold can be adjusted, for example, via a slide closure or a plug drive. Subsequently, the partially solidified strand is drawn out of the continuous casting mold, wherein the casting level in the mold, which is adjusted by the inflow of liquid steel into the mold and the extraction of the partially solidified strand by driven strand guide rollers, is kept approximately constant. The partially solidified strand is supported by the continuous casting mold in the strand guide, guided and further cooled by the secondary cooling. Especially at higher casting speeds, it is advantageous if the secondary cooling has a plurality of cooling nozzles; at slow casting speeds, however, cooling by radiation may already be sufficient to form a viable strand shell. The cooling intensities in the primary and secondary cooling are adjusted depending on the pull-out speed so that the shell of the partially solidified strand can withstand the maximum occurring ferrostatic pressure in the continuous casting machine. When the strand has reached the desired length or weight, the casting process is terminated, for example by closing the metallurgical vessel. As a result, a strand end of the strand, which is typically not completely solidified, forms. The strand end is now at least as far removed from the continuous casting mold, that it comes to rest in the area of secondary cooling or tertiary cooling of the continuous casting machine. At the latest when the strand end has passed the secondary cooling zone, the secondary cooling is terminated. The partially solidified strand is now - compared to continuous casting - slowly, controlled or controlled in the tertiary cooling zone of the continuous casting machine cooled until complete solidification. The cooling takes place in a controlled manner - more in the foot region (i.e., in the region of the strand start) of the strand and to the strand head, i. decreasing in the area of the end of the strand). This causes a bottom-up solidification front in the center area. In the center of the partially solidified strand, either a globular or dendritic microstructure appears with only extremely small segregations and porosities. In dendritic solidification, the dendrites in the strand center can not grow together, thus avoiding the thread porosity in the strand center. Finally, the solidified strand is discharged from the continuous casting machine.
    The cooling of the partially solidified strand in the Tertiärkühlzone is either controlled or regulated. The target value for the cooling may be the surface temperature of the strand, or preferably a microstructure composition in the center of the strand calculated in real time in a 2- or 3-dimensional model including the heat equation for the strand and optionally taking into account the processes during structural transformation be used. As a result, the cooling and the structure formation in the strand can be set very accurately. In tertiary cooling, the strand is cooled primarily by thermal radiation and possibly by convection; spray cooling is typically not required.
    Due to the slow cooling of the strand, any necessary annealing treatments of the strand for the purpose of stress relief and further structural improvement can already be carried out in the tertiary cooling zone of the continuous casting machine.
    Advantageously, the slow, controlled or controlled cooling of the strand is influenced by at least one of the following measures: a) influencing the heat insulation of the strand, b) heating the strand, c) surface cooling of the strand train.
    By deliberately influencing the heat insulation, the cooling can be set at the Stranganfang stronger than the strand end without additional energy. By targeted heating of the strand, this can be ensured with additional energy. Finally, a - possibly only locally - present - too slow cooling of the strand can be remedied by a surface cooling of the strand.
    In order to prevent too rapid cooling of the partially solidified strand in the Tertiärkühlzone, it is advantageous if the partially solidified strand, preferably the lateral surface, is heated in the tertiary cooling zone by a, preferably inductive, heating device. Alternatively, the strand can also be heated by burners.
    Although too slow cooling of the partially solidified strand should not occur according to the invention, a locally slow cooling can be prevented when the partially solidified strand is cooled in the tertiary cooling zone by a, preferably movable, cooling device.
    It is particularly advantageous if the heating device can be moved in the extension direction of the continuous casting machine.
    As a result, the temperature of the strand can be influenced only by a single heater, without the need for distributed devices are needed.
    For setting the solidification, it is particularly advantageous if the partially solidified strand is protected in the Tertiärkühlzone by a thermal insulation against rapid cooling. It is advantageous if the heat insulation is preheated before the casting start. A particularly effective thermal insulation which also promotes the degassing of the not yet solidified melt and also protects against scaling, is to keep the strand in a vacuum or in an atmosphere of inert gas.
    In the case of thermal insulation, it is advantageous if the insulation effect is preset either statically or controlled or regulated during operation. The setting may e.g. done by swiveling insulation lamellae. During the tertiary cooling phase, the insulation lamellae can be adjusted over the length of the strand to different, but static, swivel angles. The swivel angle can also be adjusted dynamically depending on the production program during the cooling phase. For example. For example, the swivel angles at the bottom - i. in the area of the strand beginning - are set larger than above, whereby the strand area is cooled more slowly than the strand start area.
    In order to increase the throughput in the semi-continuous casting operation, it is extremely advantageous if, after the strand end has passed the secondary cooling, the cooled continuous casting mold, preferably the continuous casting mold and the secondary cooling zone, separated from the tertiary cooling zone (for example, lifted) and the separated components transverse to the extension direction of the continuous casting to another casting station, ie to a further Tertiärkühlzone be moved. At the further tertiary cooling zone, another strand may be poured, during which time the previously produced strand in the tertiary cooling zone is slowly cooled. These measures combine the high quality of pre-block casting with the high productivity of continuous casting.
    After separating the cooled Durchlaufkokille, or the continuous mold with the secondary cooling zone, from the Tertiärkühlzone it is advantageous if the strand end is protected by a thermal insulation against rapid cooling.
    Furthermore, it is advantageous if the strand end is heated by a heating device, in particular an inductive heating device, an electric arc furnace, a plasma heater or by the burning of exothermic cover powder.
    By isolating and heating the strand end of the upper portion of the strand is held until the solidification end with liquid sump and the suction of the
    Ensured melt in the strand center. By these measures, a high quality is achieved and a too large funnel formation avoided in the strand end. Similar measures are also possible in the lower part of the strand. Through these measures, the Ausbringverluste be reduced, since only a shorter section from Stranganfang and end must be separated.
    To achieve a uniform internal structure, a stirring device such as a stirring coil is advantageous. This is conveniently movable along the string axis. Alternatively, the semi-solidified strand in the tertiary cooling zone may be alternately rotated clockwise and counterclockwise about its own axis. By reversing the direction of a particularly intimate mixing is ensured inside the strand.
    So that the cast strand obtains a viable shell as quickly as possible and thereby the length of the secondary cooling can be kept as short as possible, it is advantageous if the strand has a round cross-section. A similar effect can also be achieved with a strand having a three-round, four-round, etc. cross section.
    The object of the invention is also achieved by a device according to claim 10. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
    The continuous casting machine according to the invention comprises - a device for extracting a strand from a continuous casting mold and a device for feeding the strand from the continuous casting machine, - the cooled continuous casting mold for primary cooling of the strand, subsequently [0055] - a strand guide for supporting and guiding the strand with a secondary cooling zone, typically comprising a plurality of cooling nozzles, for cooling the strand, and again below - a tertiary cooling zone for further cooling the strand, characterized in that the tertiary cooling zone comprises one, preferably inductive, in particular Having movable in the extension direction of the continuous casting, heating device for controlled or controlled cooling of the partially solidified strand.
    Instead of the heating device movable in the tertiary cooling zone, the continuous casting machine according to the invention may also have a statically presettable or a dynamically (i.e., during operation) controlled or adjustable heat insulation.
    By the heater, the lateral surface of the strand can be heated, whereby the cooling (and thus the microstructure formation) in the center region of the partially solidified strand in the tertiary cooling zone of the continuous casting machine can be set very accurately.
    In order to enable the slow cooling of the partially solidified strand with a low energy consumption for the heating device, it is advantageous if the tertiary cooling zone has a, in particular statically adjustable or dynamically controlled or regulated adjustable, heat insulation.
    It is expedient if the continuous casting mold, the secondary and the tertiary cooling zone are arranged in one row (so-called in-line).
    The productivity of the semi-continuous continuous casting machine is substantially increased when the continuous casting machine has a tertiary cooling zones offset transversely to the drawing machine's elongation, the machine head of the continuous casting machine comprising the continuous casting mold and preferably the secondary cooling zone being connectable and separable with a tertiary cooling zone and at least the machine head is movable transversely to the extension direction. As described above, a single machine head can serve multiple tertiary cooling zones so that high throughput is achieved despite the slow cooling of the partially solidified strands.
    Preferably, the machine head is moved to another Tertiärkühlzone while the strand is stationary. As a result, the controlled or controlled, slow cooling in the center region of the strand is not disturbed. Alternatively, but also the strand, possibly with the Tertiärkühlung be moved away from the machine head.
    When adjusting the heat insulation, it is advantageous if the adjustable heat insulation at least one - advantageously several - insulation panel (also called lamella), that in the extension direction of the continuous casting machine is displaced or pivotable to the extension direction. As a result, the cooling rate of the partially solidified strand can be passive, i. without additional input of energy.
    Multiple strands of small size can be produced simultaneously if the machine head of the continuous casting machine has a plurality of cooled continuous molds and a plurality of strand guides arranged behind it with secondary cooling zones.
    A simple and robust continuous casting machine has a Strangabzugswagen for pulling the strand, wherein the strand withdrawal carriage in the extension direction, for example by spindle, rack or cylinder drives, is movable.
    In this case, the Stranganfang based on the cold strand on the strand dump car.
    In one embodiment of the continuous casting machine according to the invention the strand withdrawal carriage is connected to the machine head, wherein the strand withdrawal carriage with the machine head is movable transversely to the extension direction. In this case, the cast strand after the pouring end, e.g. parked on a pedestal on the hall floor and moved the machine head with the pullout trolley to another Tertiärkühlung. The slow cooling of the parked strand may e.g. be ensured by a pulled over the strand thermal hood.
    Alternatively, it would also be possible that the machine head is stationary and the cast strand is movable transversely to the extension direction. Here the cast strand is e.g. parked on a pedestal, wherein the pedestal can be moved together with the strand to another tertiary cooling zone.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
    FIGS. 1 a ... 1f show the method steps in the semi-continuous continuous casting of a strand 1 in a continuous casting machine.
    In Fig 1a is poured from a not shown ladle distributor liquid steel via a dip tube in a cooled continuous casting mold 2, wherein the casting mold 2, the continuous casting mold 2 is closed by the cold strand 6 fluid-tight during casting start of the continuous casting machine, so that in the mold, a casting M ( also called meniscus). By connecting the liquid steel to the head of the dummy bar 6, a solidified strand beginning 1a (see FIG. 1c) is formed. As a result of the primary cooling of the cooled continuous casting mold 2, the partially solidified strand 1b following the solidified strand beginning 1a is not solidified in the opposite direction to the drawing direction A, but has only a thin strand shell and a liquid core. In order to keep the pouring M in the mold 2 in spite of the flowing over the dip tube liquid steel in about constant, the strand 1 is pulled out of the mold 2. For this purpose, the continuous casting machine on a strand withdrawal carriage 11, which includes the dummy bar 6 itself, a threaded spindle 12, a threaded nut 13 and a motor 14 for moving the strand extractor carriage 11 in the extension direction A. The motor 14 is connected via a gear and the threaded spindle 12 with the threaded nut 13 and has a drive-through for the threaded spindle 12.
    In Figure 1b, the strand 1 has already been pulled out of the continuous mold 2, wherein the strand 1 in the mold 2 subsequent strand guide 3 is supported by a plurality of strand guide rollers 3a, guided and cooled by a plurality of cooling nozzles 4a in the secondary cooling 4. The strand 1 forms a stable strand shell, which can withstand the ferrostati-rule pressure. Thus, a breakthrough of the strand 1 is prevented.
    In FIG. 1c, the strand beginning 1a has already passed the secondary cooling 3 of the continuous casting machine and has entered the tertiary cooling zone 5. In the tertiary cooling zone 5, the strand 1 is further controlled slowly or cooled controlled so that in the center of the partially solidified strand 1b, the solidification takes place with an upward direction. As a result, either a globular or at least one dendritic structure avoiding the yarn porosity is formed. In order to prevent too rapid cooling of the partially solidified strand 1b, the tertiary cooling zone 5 has a thermal insulation 9 and a heating device 7 shown in FIG. FIG. 2 a shows an example of a thermal insulation 9 for tertiary cooling, wherein the atmosphere between the strand 1 and the heat hood 9 is evacuated by a vacuum pump (in this case a jet pump 15). For this purpose, a pressure connection of the jet pump 15 is connected to a compressed air network and the suction connection of the jet pump 15 to the space inside the thermal insulation 9. This measure also causes oxidation, i. Scaling, strand 1 prevented; In addition, the not yet solidified melt in the train is degassed by the vacuum treatment. The thermal insulation 9 has a plurality of insulation panels 9a which are independently closed (opening angle 0 °), opened (opening angle 90 °) or partially open (90 °> opening angle> 0 °) can be.
    In FIG. 1d, the casting in the continuous casting machine has ended so that a strand end 1c is formed. By pulling the string end 1c out of the mold 2, the pouring mirror M lies below the pouring mirror shown in dashed lines in accordance with the method steps 1a-1c.
    1e shows the situation after the strand end 1c of the strand 1 has passed the secondary cooling zone 3, the secondary cooling has ended and the strand end 1c is flush with the upper end of the tertiary cooling zone 5. In the tertiary cooling zone 5, the slow, controlled or controlled cooling of the partially solidified strand 1b is ensured by the heat insulation 9 and the heating of the strand by the movable in the extension direction A heater 7 (see Fig 1f). After separating and lifting the machine head, comprising the continuous casting mold 2, the strand guide 3 and the secondary cooling 4, from the tertiary cooling 5, the strand end 1c is heated by an inductive head heater 10, so that a too rapid cooling of the strand end 1c is prevented.
    According to FIGS. 1a... 1f, a round steel strand 1 with a diameter of 1200 mm and a length of 10 m was produced. The pull-out speed of the strand 1 from the continuous casting mold 2 is 0.25 m / min. Due to the thermal insulation 9 and the reheating of the strand 1 by the movable heater 7, the complete solidification of the strand 1 is reached only after 13 h. The casting of the strand - without the slow cooling of the strand in the Tertiärkühlzone 5 - but was already completed after 46 min. Since potting, in contrast to slow solidification is completed quickly, it is advantageous for increasing the throughput of the semi-continuous casting, when the machine head not shown in Fig 1f separated from the Tertiärkühlzone 5 and transverse to the extension direction A to another Tertiärkühlzone 5 becomes. There, a new strand can be potted, while the strand 1 shown in Figure 1f is further cooled slowly. After slow cooling of the strand 1 until its complete solidification, the strand is discharged from the continuous casting machine, for example by means of a device, FIGS. 8a and 8b.
    FIG. 2 a shows a first alternative embodiment of the tertiary cooling zone 5 of FIG. 1. The space between the strand 1 and the thermal insulation 9 is evacuated by a jet pump 15, whereby a good thermal insulation and a slow cooling is achieved. In addition, the surface of the strand 1 is protected from scaling and degassed the residual melt. The jet pump is simple and wear-free; its pressure connection is connected to a compressed air connection P and its suction connection to the space to be evacuated within the tertiary cooling zone. The blowing off can take place against ambient pressure U. The inductive head heater 10 is advantageous over plasma heating since the magnetic field also acts through the thermal insulation of the string end 1c.
    FIG. 2b shows a second alternative of the tertiary cooling zone 5 of FIG. 1. The insulation lamellae 9a of the thermal insulation 9 are pivotable relative to the extension direction, so that the air exchange between the ambient air and the strand 1 in the interior of the tertiary cooling zone 9 can be adjusted. Merely to illustrate the function of the insulation lamellae 9a, the insulation lamellae 9a on the right side of the strand 1 were closed and shown open on the left side by 10 ° to the extension direction A. The adjustment of the slats 9a can be done either manually or by actuators.
    3 shows schematically the time course of the travel s of the inductive heating device 7 for reheating the lateral surface of the strand 1. Here, the heater 7 is pulled through in the upper part of the strand 1 and shown in broken lines in the lower area. As the solidification front shifts from bottom to top during cooling (i.e., from the strand beginning 1a to the strand end 1c), the travel s of the heating device 7 also decreases over time. As an alternative to a movable heating device 7, a plurality of heating devices (for example burners) distributed in the extension direction A over the length of the tertiary cooling zone 5 could also be used.
    FIG. 4 shows the temperatures in ° C. of the strand 1 produced according to FIG. 1 in a sectional view 3h after the casting start (part 1), 8.3 h after the casting start (part 2) and solidification of the strand 1, about 13 hours Casting start (part 3). The time course of the temperatures of the strand 1 at different positions on the surface and in the center of the strand are shown in FIG. It follows that the casting of the strand and thus also the primary and the secondary cooling is terminated 46 minutes after the casting start and then the strand 1 is cooled controlled only by the Tertiärkühlung 5.
    FIGS. 6a, 6b show a vertical continuous casting machine according to the invention in two views. The liquid steel is poured from a pan 30 via a shadow tube in the casting manifold 31, then the melt flows through a not shown immersion tube (SEN) in the continuous casting mold 2 a. Due to the primary cooling in the mold 2, a partially solid strand 1 forms with a stable strand shell. In the mold 2, the melt is further influenced by an optional stirring device 32. The strand 1 is supported in the strand guide 3, guided and further cooled in the secondary cooling zone 4. At least the continuous casting mold 2, the stirring coil 32, the strand guide 3 with the secondary cooling zone 4, and optionally also the tertiary cooling zone 5, can be moved on a casting trolley 33 on the casting platform G. The strand 1 with the cold strand 6 is pulled out of the continuous casting mold 2 via the strand withdrawal carriage 11. For this purpose, the Strangabzugswagen 11 is driven by four threaded spindles 12 and guided by additional guide rails 34, wherein a motor via a gear and the threaded spindle 12 is connected to the threaded nut 13. After the casting operation has been completed and the strand 1 has been deposited on the anvil 40, the casting trolley 33 can be moved transversely to the extension direction A to a further casting station, since the casting of the partially solidified strand, i. without the tertiary cooling of the strand 1, much less time is needed than the tertiary cooling of the strand 1 until its solidification.
    In the tertiary cooling zone 5, the strand 1 is slowly cooled by the thermal insulation 9 and possibly by a heater, not shown here, so that the solidification takes place in the center of the strand with an upwardly oriented solidification front.
    A more detailed illustration of the machine head of the continuous casting machine of FIGS. 6a, 6b is shown in FIG.
    Figures 8a, 8b show schematically an embodiment for discharging the solidified strand 1 from the tertiary cooling zone. The strand 1 is laterally supported by two brackets 38, so that on the continuous casting machine also very different diameters (see plan of Fig 8a) can be cast. In Fig. 8a, the strand 1 has already been swung out with respect to the vertical and rests against the brackets 38. In FIG. 8b, the strand 1 is deposited via the pivoting drive 39 on a roller table 37, where it can be removed in the direction of the arrow.
    Although the invention has been further illustrated and described in detail by the preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples, and other variations can be derived therefrom by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
