摘要:
A casting is inspected by equipment similar to the equipment in a companion application. That equipment includes a revolving camera. The camera is electrically powered by a generator which revolves with the camera and is, by itself, driven pursuant to that rotation.
摘要:
A hot casting, freshly emerging from the mold, is inspected for any surface defects by a revolving line scan camera; the camera is disposed in an annular water-cooled, two-part housing having an inwardly directed annular gap covered by a sheet that revolves with the camera; the camera can look through a small gap of that sheet.

The particular pipe is provided with a system of blind bores being gas conductively interconnected and an inert gas is fed to this duct and channel system to traverse the gas permeable material of which the pipe is made to emerge particularly from surfaces in contact with molten steel to thereby prevent the precipitation of deposits, particularly on the inside of the pipe, but also on the outside surface thereof where being submerged in the bath of molten steel.
摘要:
Molten steel pouring from a ladle into a tundish is surrounded by a vessel which is pressurized to maintain an excess pressure of an inert gas and/or a gas or vapor of a material that treats the steel, e.g., for deoxidizing, desulfurizing and/or other cleansing action. The excess pressure per se inhibits any reoxidation. Reactant material is fed to the chamber at a rate to maintain the excess pressure and/or to ensure sufficient presence of reacting material commensurate with the amount of steel passing through.
摘要:
Molten steel is poured into a water cooled continuous casting mold in which the steel solidifies partially with the formation of a strand having a length and a peripheral shell. The strand has a cross-sectional surface area with one of a round shape, an oval shape and a polygonal shape having more than four sides. Additionally, the strand has a minimum circumference of 200 mm. The cross-sectional surface area of the strand leaving the mold is then reduced using rolls before the strand fully solidifies. The reducing includes deforming the strand into a polygonal shape having at least four corners while maintaining the circumference as well as the length of the strand at the peripheral shell constant.
摘要:
A method of continuously casting steel in which a melt is introduced through a movable immersion nozzle. The method includes the steps of controlling the start of the casting process in connection with the withdrawal of the casting by starting the withdrawal of the casting upon reaching a desired height of the surface of the steel in the mold, and driving the casting from the mold at a desired casting removal speed via a control element in a predetermined manner. Further, the method includes measuring the position of the bath level as it ascends in the mold during the continuous casting and adjusting the position of the immersion nozzle in relation to the ascending bath level from a first position to a desired operating position by changing the position of the distributor. Lastly, the method includes determining the desired operating position of the immersion nozzle with respect to the upper edge of the mold as a function of the temperature of the steel melt, the quality of the steel, the K-value of the solidification of the casting and the bath level, so as to establish, during the casting, a spacing of the outer lower edge of the immersion nozzle between a solidification front of the casting and the bath level.

A system provided in a high-speed continuous casting plant for casting a metallic strand for automatically operating the high-speed continuous casting plant. In the system, the stopping or slide movement, the modification of the steel level, the heat currents through the mold walls, the temperature of the liquid metal and the drawing-off speed are measured over the casting time, supplied to a computer and compared with predetermined limit values for an automatic operating mode.

A liquid-cooled plate mold with adjustable width for the continuous casting of billets from steel in the form of slabs, particularly for a slab thickness of less than 100 mm. The shape-imparting broad side plates (1) and narrow side plates (2) of the ingot mold are constructed in the direction of their transverse extension so as to increase in cross section for the billet, while the narrow side plates (2) extend substantially parallel to one another along the height of the ingot mold. Further, the broad side plates (1) are constructed so as to be concave at least in a region (3) of smallest slab width in such a way that, in cross section, the apex height (13) of the ingot mold wall forming a curve has a determined height relative to a rectangle inserted in the drawing. The shape of the billet side plates at the billet outlet end (5) corresponds to the billet format to be produced.

The invention relates to a method for automatically opening a high-speed continuous casting plant According to said method the stopping or slide movement, the modification of the steel level, the heat currents through the mold walls, the temperature of the liquid metal and the drawing-off speed are measured over the casting time, supplied to a computer and compared with predetermined limit values for an automatic operating mode.
摘要:
An immersion nozzle (2) for metallurgical recipients, in particular for a reservoir arranged upstream of a continuous casting ingot mould, has an interchangeable discharge pipe (2) which can be attached in a leakproof manner on or in a perforated brick (1). To improve the flow conditions and hence the efficiency of the casting, the inlet side of the nozzle comprises an upper elongated section (12) in the form of a tubular shaft (11) which expands conically downward to a given plane and which is narrow in a plane perpendicular to the given plane. A second elongate section (13) ends in an elongated transverse flow section of given dimensions.
