摘要:
The invention relates to a casting device (1) having a casting ladle (2), a distribution device (4), and a horizontally moveable transport belt (5) having side boundaries (13, 14), wherein liquid metal, preferably steel, can flow out of the casting ladle (2) onto the distribution device (4), and from there can be applied to the horizontal transport belt (5), the side boundaries (13, 14) of the horizontal transport belt (5) being adjustable across the width of the horizontal transport belt. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for preparing and delivering various types of carbon and microalloy steel, free of oxygen with abundance of nuclei, when cast producing ultra fine grain steel free of internal defeats with excellent quality. A horizontal sealed table caster has a chamber, containing a suitable atmosphere for casting, with a tube connecting to a tundish so as to allow a liquid to flow into the chamber. The liquid metal is captured on a cooling belt along the bottom of the chamber and is maintained as a specific width and depth. The cooling belt serves as a heat sink causing the liquid metal to solidify from the bottom up, allowing inclusions to migrate to the surface of the steel. A layer of liquid metal is maintained on top of the solidifying steel until the solidification reaches the surface. The belt moves the solid metal toward the exit of the chamber. As the liquid metal solidifies, the impurities migrate in the liquid metal, reaching the surface and a solid metal body free of inclusions with the superior properties is produced.
摘要:
A process of casting a molten metal to form a cast metal strip ingot while controlling heat flux from the cast metal. The process comprises continuously supplying molten metal to a casting cavity formed between a pair of moving continuous casting surfaces that withdraw heat from the molten metal to cause metal solidification, and continuously withdrawing a resulting cast strip ingot from the casting cavity. A gas (e.g. air) containing water vapour substantially without liquid water (i.e. a moist gas) is supplied to the inlet of the casting cavity in a region containing the meniscus formed where the molten metal first contacts the casting surfaces. The moist gas has the effect of adjusting the heat withdrawal by the casting surfaces to minimize surface defects in the cast strip ingot and to avoid undesired distortion of the casting cavity. Furthermore, in those cases where a parting agent is applied to the casting surfaces, the amount of parting agent applied to the casting surfaces may be reduced. The invention also relates to equipment provided for the delivery and dewpoint control of the moist gas.
摘要:
Method and device for cooling belts of single or twin belt casters. The belt is cooled by a liquid which is contacted with the inner surface of the belt by a system of feed tubes and collection tubes. Liquid is passed out the feed tube, into a channel that communicates with the inner surface of the heated belt, the belt is cooled, and the liquid is removed through collection tubes with a vacuum assist.
摘要:
The caster includes a pair of movable opposed belts, each of the belts having a casting surface and a pair of movable opposed dam blocks including a plurality of dam blocks having one end mounted to an orbiting support and a casting surface opposite the mounted end. The casting surfaces of the belts and the casting surfaces of the dam blocks define a casting zone for solidifying the molten metal into cast metallic product. The caster also includes cooling plates/bars for cooling the belts while the belts pass through the casting zone.

The method enhances the quality of cast metal being cast in a continuous casting process. In particular, the method combines temperature and quality control sensing to achieve closed-loop control of the cooling of molten metal in a continuous caster.
摘要:
Continuous casting method wherein molten metal is poured into a vertical passage bounded by the inner stretches of four endless metallic bands which travel downwardly at the speed of metal flow. The inner stretches are cooled by liquid coolant which is admitted into upper ends and is discharged at the lower ends of narrow chambers each adjacent to and extending along the full width and length of a stretch. The inlets and outlets of the chambers are bounded by arcuate surfaces which insure that the coolant enters and leaves the chambers without appreciable turbulence. Each inlet receives fresh coolant from a first compartment and each outlet admits spent coolant into a second compartment.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for close-to-final-dimension casting of billets made of metal, particularly rectangular billets, wherein molten metal (2) is cast onto a circulating transport belt (3), followed by in-line rolling and cooling of said transport belt (3). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.
