Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing long products from steel by continuous casting in a continuous casting mold.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of eliminating the disadvantages described and of influencing the strand in its solidification in the continuous casting of steel in such a way that centering is suppressed or practically avoided.
- the method steps according to the invention achieve a refinement of the crystal structure and a higher degree of casting close to the final dimensions, since the casting cross section can also be used to switch from Bloom dimensions to billet dimensions.
- the invention opens another in-line production line for long products.
- the product leaving the continuous caster is said to be a billet of square cross-section with an edge length of 100 mm.
- a round strand 2 with a diameter of 127.4 mm is poured into a continuous casting mold 1 of conventional design.
- the diameter of 127.4 mm corresponds to a strand circumference of 400 mm and a cross-sectional area of 12,741 mm2.
- Below the mold the strand is guided by rollers 3 on an arc.
- the radius 4 of the arc is approximately 7000 mm in accordance with the arcuate mold 1. With a strand withdrawal speed of 5 m / min, the metallurgical length is approximately 15000 mm.
- the strand 2 is deformed from the round cross-sectional shape into a rectangular by two smooth-cylindrical pairs of rollers 5, 6, which are arranged in pairs in one plane opposite one another.
- the deformation can take place in one or more stages, with crack-sensitive grades preferably being used up to four deformation stages 7, 8, 9, 10.
- the size of the deformation in the individual stages must be selected so that the internal deformation at the boundary is firm - liquid not above the yield strength of the material. Taking this into account, the size of the deformation can also be chosen to be the same in all stages.
- the diameter of the round strand is reduced by 127 mm from 127 mm, so that in the deformation stage 10 there is a square billet with an edge length of 100 mm with the same circumference as the round strand, but with a reduced cross-sectional area compared to the round strand .
- the reshaping is carried out in a region of the 2-phase area below the lowest point of the melt overheating, as a result of which a high structural proportion with a small grain size corresponds in the finished product a rolling structure is already achieved in the cast strand.
- the deformation is therefore carried out within a section of the strand in which more than 20% of the strand cross section and up to 70% of the strand cross section are still liquid. Care must be taken to ensure that, in the case of steel qualities that are sensitive to cracking, the deformation caused by the reduction in cross-section is not superimposed on other deformations, for example by straightening steps in oval arch systems.
- the straightening levels in the present case two, are designated 11 and 12 and are located within the strand area with a liquid component.
- the deformation stages 7, 8, 9, 10 and the straightening stages 11, 12 are arranged such that one of the straightening stages lies between two successive deformation stages.
