Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing thin slabs whereby the cross-section thereof is reduced during solidification in a continuous casting device wherein the stand guide adjacent to the mould comprises wedge-shaped adjustable roller-strand sections for regulating the thickness of the strand or the thin slabs. According to the invention, the thickness of the strand is reduced only on one point of the strand guide below the first segment downstream from the mould in an area of the strand containing a liquid core by regulating the strand guide rollers with a soft transition. The segment (3) following the segment (4) situated directly after the mould (2) comprises a pivoting point (14) on the input side and an adjusting means (12) arranged on the output side.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, for use in a solidified-bending method. Said device comprises, downstream of the continuous casting mold, a straight strand guide (1) and a bending device (3) that releases the cast strand path (2a) so that the cold strand (5) can be introduced. The aim of the invention is to utilize the height of the device that has so far not been used for supporting the strand or to reduce the height of the entire installation. To this end, the bending device (3) comprises a folding segment (9) that is pivoted on the fixed side (1a) and that is provided with a row of rollers (10) that limit the bending path (3c) in the operational position. The bending device further comprises on the loose side (1b) a loose element (11) that can be swiveled into the operational position (3b) or that can be swiveled out from this position. The bending rollers (3a) of said batch element form the counter-rollers (3d) to the row of rollers (10) in the operational position (3b).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the production of hot-rolled steel strip comprising at least one continuous casting machine, at least one pair of scissors, at least one calibration oven, a de-scaler, optionally, a roughing train, a finishing train (multi-stand rolling mill or Steckel mill(s)), a roller path comprising a cooling area and at least one pickup reel for the thermal strip. A compact structure is achieved by virtue of the fact that the casting line and the rolling line are arranged parallel or approximately parallel to each other such that the direction of casting and direction of rolling are oriented essentially in an opposite direction to each other.
Abstract:
A device for the support and oscillation of a continuous casting mould (1) for casting liquid metal, particularly liquid steel, comprising guide elements (4) which are mounted on fixed carrier components (5) and which is actually by means of oscillation devices (6). In order to shorten time required for mounting and dismounting and therefor to lower the down times and costs of said continuous casting device, a first module (7) is made of guide elements (4) and carrier components (5) and a second module (8) consists of the oscillation device (6). The second module (8) can be dismantled via an outlet (9) which extends laterally, perpendicular to the plane of symmetry (2) below the guide elements (4) or in between guide elements (4). Each of the two modules (7,8) can be dismounted or re-mounted in a manner which is temporally and locally independent from the other respective module (7,8).
Abstract:
A continuous casting installation, which has a vertically oriented strand guide arranged below a mold, wherein a drive for driving the cast strand and bending it into the horizontal direction are arranged below the strand guide. A drive that serves exclusively for driving the cast strand is installed below the lower end of the strand guide, and a drive that serves exclusively for bending the cast strand is installed below the drive for driving the cast strand. The drive that serves exclusively for driving the cast strand is installed at least partially in a cassette, which is detachably mounted in the continuous casting installation. The continuous casting installation also has a cooling chamber, and the cassette with the drive that serves exclusively for driving the cast strand is installed in the cooling chamber.

The bending device further comprises on the loose side (1b) a loose element (11) that can be swiveled into the operational position (3b) or that can be swiveled out from this position. The bending rollers (3a) of said loose element form the counter-rollers (3d) to the row of rollers (10) in the operational position (3b).

Abstract:
An installation for producing hot-rolled steel strip, including a continuous casting machine, a shear, a soaking furnace, a descaler, possibly a roughing train, a finishing train including a multi-stand rolling mill or Steckel mill, a roller table with a cooling zone, and a coiling reel for the hot strip. The casting line and the pass line are arranged parallel or approximately parallel to each other so that the casting direction and the rolling direction are oriented opposite each other and are connected with each other by a reheating furnace. The reheating furnace is a rocker-bar hearth furnace or a walking-beam furnace. The distance between the casting line and the pass line is designed so that a sufficient residence and buffering time for the thin slabs in the reheating furnace is guaranteed. The reheating furnace is designed to hold from three to twelve slabs.
