Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A hot rolling installation should be constructed and able to be operated so that strips of materials, which can be shaped with different levels of difficulty and have a thickness of less than 1 mm, can be rolled. According to the invention, strip speeds of 15 m/sec should not be exceeded at the outlet of the last roll stand regardless of the material being used, and the hot-rolled strip should have austenitic structures. To this end, the invention provides that thin slab thicknesses of approximately 50 mm are used for easily shapeable material, that the first of seven stands is driven or executes only a smoothing pass, the slab is de-scaled in front of and behind the first stand, and that the second to seventh stand effects the reduction in thickness to less than 1 mm.
Abstract:
A method for coiling thin metal strip on a coiler mandrel, which is adjusted in diameter, in which, at the beginning, the inner windings of the coil are coiled on the adjusted coiler mandrel diameter, and, after the final winding of the coil, the coiler mandrel is pulled out, or the coil is taken off. One or more profile grooves are pressed into one inner winding or into several adjacent inner windings on the circumference during rotation of the coil.
Abstract:
A device for measuring the roll gap (7) between the working rollers (1a: 1b) of a cold or warm rolling stand for rolling out narrow or wide strips of metal, especially NE metal strips, by means of roll gap sensors (6) whose signals are transmitted to the servo-valves of the compressed oil control as a roll gap setpoint value for the piston cylinder units influencing said roll gap (7), and used to provide a roller gap measurement which is also suitable for such cases involving the lateral progression of said strip. In order to achieve said aim, the position or travel sensor (6) is provided in at least one bending cylinder (5a;5b) for the working cylinder (1a, 1b) for indirect reference measurement of the roll gap via the positively or negatively acting bending cylinders (5a; 5b).
Abstract:
A guide roller assembly includes a guide roller and a bearing that supports the roller body of the guide roller and is formed as a ring-shaped, segmented slide bearing.
Abstract:
A section straightening machine is operated by a method which involves passing the structural sections through the array of straightening tools. Section straightening forces are applied to adjustable shafts carrying the tools and adjusters at the service sides of the shaft applying forces acting counter to the section straightening forces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing stainless steels, in particular steels containing chromium and chromium-nickel. The method is carried out in a melting device containing a metallurgical vessel, or in a melting device (1) containing at least two vessels (2, 3) for supplying a steel-casting installation, an electric arc furnace process (1) and an air-refining process taking place alternately in the two vessels (2, 3). To improve the efficiency of a method of this type, the aim of the invention is to carry out a reversible treatment of unreduced converter slag in the electric-arc furnace mode. To achieve this, in the first treatment stage, the slag (19) with a high chromium content is melted together with the added charge, the slag is then reduced during the melting process with the silicon and carbon under favorable thermodynamic conditions of the arc, once the slag has reached a minimum temperature of 1,490° C. and the slag is subsequently removed. The air-refining process is then carried out, during which the carbon content is reduced to a value of less than 0.9%. The metal slag (18) is tapped at a tapping temperature of between 1,620 and 1,720° C., the unreduced slag (19) with a high chromium content from the air-refining process remaining in the treatment vessel.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the continuous casting of metals, especially of steel, is equipped with a base frame (2) carrying a continuous casting mold (1) and an oscillating device (3) disposed on the base frame (2) and with a foot roller frame (4) disposed on the foot end (1a) of the continuous casting mold (1). In order to obtain better protection for the mold region and components disposed downstream thereof, it is proposed that the continuous casting mold (1) together with an oscillation frame (3b) and an oscillating drive (3a) engaging the oscillating frame (3b) be arranged in an upwardly and laterally closed housing (5) and that the foot roller frame (4) fastened on the continuous casting mold (1) extends through a laterally shielding lower housing (6).
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an immersion nozzle for a metallurgic vessel arranged upstream of a casting device, in particular a continuous casting mold or a twin roller, in which a slit-shaped pour-out opening (2) having a length that is several times greater than its width is provided in the base area. The cross section widens in the direction of its mouth from a round inlet cross section to a mouth cross section whose one semiaxis is smaller than, and whose other semiaxis extending perpendicular thereto is greater than, the semiaxis of the round inlet cross section and whose base shape corresponds to that of the body of revolution of an ellipse or of an oval mouth cross section around the greater semiaxis, and the slit-shaped outlet opening extends in direction of the greater semiaxis.
