摘要:
Method and apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19b). Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. A casting pool is established by pouring a first batch of molten metal at a relatively high temperature above the liquidus temperature of molten metal through the delivery nozzle (19b) and is thereafter maintained by pouring through the delivery nozzle (19b) a second batch of molten metal at a relatively lower temperature. The bottom of the tundish (18) is formed with a well (26) to hold the first batch of molten metal and there is heating means (8) to heat the metal in the well (26).

Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. The tundish (18), delivery nozzle (19) and a pair of side closure plates (56) to confine the pool of metal on the casting rollers are separately preheated to working temperature and then rapidly brought into an operative assembly and casting is started before detrimental uneven or localized cooling of the preheated components can develop. To this end the casting rollers are mounted on a carriage (13) movable between a first station (14) at which the preheated components are fitted and a second station (15) at which casting is carried out.

Method and apparatus for casting molten metal by passing molten metal form a casting pool above the nip of the pair of chilled rollers and thence through the pair of counter rotating chilled rollers, to thus form a thin sheet of solid metal. The molten metal is delivered to the casting pool from a metal delivery nozzle which contains an outlet flow passage at the bottom thereof, below the surface of the casting pool, through which the molten metal passes into the casting pool, which further contains a diffuser therein just above the outward flow passage, and which contains a pool of molten metal sufficiently deep that its surface is above the diffuser. The diffuser had a multiplicity of flow passages (holes) therein through which the molten metal, which is fed to the delivery nozzle, passes and is diffused into the outlet flow passage. An energy absorbing baffle means may be provided above the diffuser.

In moving-mold type or dual-belt type continuous casting machines, the molten metal static pressure in the mold cavity is detected and the quantity of the molten metal poured through the tundish nozzle into the mold cavity is controlled such that the static pressure in the mold cavity is maintained at a predetermined range in which penetration of the molten metal into the gap between the tundish nozzle and the mold assembly can be avoided.

A servo-controller, where, in order to enable a second mobile member to carry out a certain programmed sequence of operations corresponding to the moving position, speed, pressure, force or torque of a first mobile member, the said moving position speed, pressure, force or torque of the first mobile member is detected as an analog signal, which is compared with each of various level signals sorted stepwise and identified so as to operate the corresponding relays in succession; where the successive actions of these relays is such that control is effected by a first switch group (on a pin board connection panel), a second switch group (for carrying out switching operations for the step subsequent to each member of the first group) and a third switch group for selecting the said level signal; a remainder derived from the difference signal between set signals passed through these first and second switch groups, respectively, is multiplied by another remainder derived from the difference signal between the said analog signal and a level signal passed through the third switch group and the resultant product is combined additively with the set signal passed through the first switch group, so that the resultant sum is applied as an input signal to a servo-amplifier so as to control the motion of the said second mobile member.

A method of controlling the formation of crocodile skin surface roughness on thin cast strip of plain carbon steel forming a casting pool of molten metal of plain carbon steel of less than 0.065% carbon supported on a casting surfaces above a nip, assembling a rotating brush to contact the casting surfaces in advance of contact with the molten metal, and controlling the energy exerted by rotating brushes against the casting surfaces of the casting rolls to clean and expose a majority of the projections of the casting surfaces of the casting rolls by provide wetting contact with the molten metal of the casting pool. The cleaning step may be done by controlling the energy of the rotating brush against the casting rolls based on the difference between the measured heat flux and the initially measured heat flux when the casting surfaces are clean, and automating the method.

A casting pool (30) of ferrous molten metal is supported on a pair of chilled generally horizontal casting rolls (22) forming a nip (27) between them. The casting rolls (22) rotate mutually opposite directions to produce a solidified metal strip (12) moving downwardly from the nip (27). The strip (12) passes along a transit path (10) which takes it away from the nip (27) in an unrestrained loop (29) disposed within a strip enclosure (38) within which the strip is confined through said transit path (10). The strip (12) moves downwardly from the nip (27) to form the unrestrained loop (29) passes between a pair of cooled non-contact heat absorbers (101) to which heat is radiated from the strip (12) whereby to extract from the strip heat generated by completion of solidification of metal therein after leaving the casting pool (30). Heat absorbers (101) are formed as opposite side walls of a cooling collar (100) defining an upper part of enclosure (38) and provided with cooling water ducts (102).

Method and apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19). Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. A clean head end of the strip (20) is formed by adjusting the nip of the casting rollers to form a transverse bulge (103) across the width of the strip. The two separate solidified metal shells (105) and defines a line of weakness across the width of the strip. The strip separates at the line of weakness to form a clean head end for the following strip.
