Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a guide in a casting strand from the vertical casting direction to the horizontal rolling direction in a continuous casting facility. SOLUTION: The whole driving mechanism 21-23 or the whole driving rollers 13' are adjusted to have the pre-given number of revolutions so that the revolutional speed of these driving rollers is equalized within the limit of a provided casting speed or the revolutional moment of the attached motor (motor moment) is kept below the allowable limited moment in the uniform level as much as possible compared with the load capacity of a solidified shell in the strand. For calculating the allowable limited moment, firstly, in the individual driving moment is started from zero and continuously raised during adjusting the whole other driving mechanisms to have the pre-given reference casting speed, and at this time, the number of revolutions of the rollers 13' is monitored, and when the number of revolutions A is suddenly raised, the limited moment B is fixed so as to interrupt this process.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a mold or continuous casting operation in a continuous casting method and its apparatus. SOLUTION: In a thermal control method for a copper plate facing to steel of a continuous casting mold regarding different casting speeds, different copper plate thickness, different casting sizes, different water amount and different water pressure respectively, the method is characterized in that selectable mold cooling water temperature at an outlet of the mold is constantly maintained unrelated to a casting speed. Temperature of the outlet of the mold is measured and controlled by a two way type valve having a short pipe between the outlet of the mold and an inlet of the mold and a bifurcated pipe providing for partial amount of the cooling water from the outlet of the mold to a heat exchanger. Hot cooling water at the outlet of the mold is mixed with cooled water at the outlet of the mold, and cooling water amount and pressure of at the outlet of the mold, in which cooling water temperature is controlled dependent on casting condition, is also controlled. Then, molding cooling water at the outlet of the mold is circulated through the mold by a pump station so as to maintain constant temperature.
Abstract:
In a method for casting prefabricated products in a continuous casting device, having a casting mold and a strand guide downstream of the casting mold, wherein the strand guide has rolls positioned opposite one another in pairs for supporting and guiding the solidifying cast strand. The motor torques of the drives are maintained at a level as equal as possible below a permissible torque limit value relative to a loadability of the strand shell. For a single drive and corresponding drive roll the permissible torque limit value is measured by continuously increasing the drive torque starting at zero and monitoring the rotational speed of the drive roll, while the remaining drive rolls are controlled to a preset nominal casting speed. For a superproportional increase of the rotational speed, the torque limit value is determined and the process is stopped.
Abstract:
In exactly the same manner as larger furnaces, electric reducing furnaces which can be used for test purposes during ferroalloy and nonferrous processes and in a simplified design as industrial submerged arc furnaces require complete engineering, and in this context the engineering costs turn out to be disproportionate since, instead of decreasing with the furnace size, they largely represent a type of fixed cost. Modifications to existing furnaces, be they large or small, are also very costly and complicated. Furnaces that have already been erected can be mechanically adapted and/or modified only with great difficulty. In order to develop a smaller, flexible reducing furnace which makes it possible to provide reducing furnaces which are inexpensive to design and nevertheless can be adapted in a process-specific manner for test operation and/or in a simplified design for corresponding industrial use, the invention proposes designing the electric reducing furnace (1) without a welded steel structure and from modules which can be exchanged as desired, in such a way that it can be completely disassembled, and proposes using individual modules and/or a plurality of modules having different dimensions and materials to make it possible to individually vary the dimensions and the structure of the electric reducing furnace (1) in terms of the furnace vessel (2), the side walls (3), the base (4), the cover (5) and the arrangement of the electrodes (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for continuous casting of slabs, especially thin slabs, in a continuous casting system. Said system comprises a series of strand guiding segments (1-n) disposed underneath a casting mould (6), said segments being provided with pairs of rollers (8) arranged at a distance in a perpendicular position with respect to the casting strand (A), said rollers being able to be adjusted at a specific distance to each other. For variable adaptation of the system to slabs of different thicknesses, the casting strand (A) forms protuberances (2a-2n) inside the area associated with a liquid core path (7), in order to increase the thickness format, by sequential opening or closing of the adjustment of the feed opening of successive segments (1-n) as a result of the ferrostatic inner pressure of the liquid core thereof. The segments have a positioning and force adjusting function on the side of the device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for continuously casting metals (1), especially steel, in a cooled oscillating continuous casting mold (4), in which the crater is subjected to a treatment by an electromagnetic stirring coil (9), whereby the magnetic field is placed in close proximity to the cast strand (8) underneath the continuous casting mold (4). The aim of the invention is to adjust the effects of the stirring coil not only outside but also during the casting process. To this end, the invention provides that with a stationary stirring coil (9), which follows the continuous casting mold (4) in a direction of movement (14) of the strand, a continuous relative change in position of the magnetic field of the stirring coil (9) is effected in the direction of the casting vein by adjusting the oscillation area of the continuous casting mold (4) according to the casting parameters.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a continuous casting device for the direct shaping of a metal strand, in particular a steel cast strand (1) of any format (1d). According to said method, the cast strand (1) is only cooled by a liquid coolant (4) in longitudinal sections (6), where the interior of the cast strand (1) remains liquefied and the temperature of the cast strand (1) in a transition zone (7) upstream of, in and/or downstream of a bending and straightening unit (8) is evened out by an insulation of the exterior surface (1 b), essentially without the use of a liquid coolant (4), and by progressive thermal radiation. The cast strand (1) is shaped in a dynamically variable reduction section (9) as a result of the compressive strength that is measured on individual shaping rolls (10) or roll segments (11), depending on the compressive force that can be locally applied.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a strand guide (1), in particular for a continuous casting plant for steel slabs, having a number of segments (2) which support a strand (3) on two sides (4, 5) situated opposite one another using supporting elements (6, 7), wherein the supporting elements (6, 7) are arranged in a lower frame (8) and an upper frame (9), as a result of which the frames (8, 9) are designed to guide the strand (3) in a conveying direction (F). In order to be able to set the strand support in optimum fashion and to make it easier to change segment frames, the invention provides means (10) which can be used to adjust the upper and the lower frames (8, 9) in relation to one another in the conveying direction (F).

The setting process is for a guide device (100) including a roller segment (110-1) with lower and upper roller carriers (112-1, 114-1) each carrying a roller to guide the continuous casting (200) between the rollers. The setting elements are individually controlled so that the heights of the right and left side edges are kept equal to each other.
