Abstract:
This invention involves in metal solidification and continuous casting field, especially a chamfered narrow side copper plate for mould with funnel-shaped curved surface. The working face of the narrow side copper plate (1) contacting molten steel comprise a middle area (2) and two chamfered areas (3, 4) which are arranged at two sides, and said working face has a funnel-shaped curved surface which is big at top and small at bottom. In present invention, the chamfered narrow side copper plate for mould with funnel-shaped curved surface can ensure the uniformity of the cooling effect of the chamfered surface and enhance the service life of the narrow side copper plate.

Ingot mold for casting ultra thin slabs to be used, for instance, in a manufacturing plant for the manufacture of metal strips, having two wide concave walls (11) in the center and two flat portions (12) parallel to the plane of symmetry X in the end zones connected by two convex connecting zones (13) wherein the ratio between the lengths d/l is between 10 and 60% and the ratio h/f is between 10% and 60%.
Abstract:
A water-cooled mold for continuous casting includes two water-cooled wide copper plates arranged opposite to each other in a front and back direction and two water-cooled narrow copper plates arranged opposite to each other in a left and right direction. The upper portion of the cavity of the mold is a sprue area and the lower portion of the cavity is a mold cavity area. The sprue area is gradually narrowed in the casting direction and smoothly transited into the mold cavity, corresponding to the shape of a slab to be cast. The inside surfaces of the water-cooled narrow copper plates are smooth planar surfaces. A portion of the inside surface of the water-cooled wide copper plates in the sprue area is a curved surface and another portion in the mold cavity area is a planar surface. The curved surface and the planar surface portions form a continuous smooth surface.
Abstract:
A process and system for manufacturing metal strips of 0.14-20 mm thickness and metal sheets of 10-100 mm thickness from slabs of thickness between 30 and 300 mm by continuous casting of the bow type. The slab upon casting is fed without discontinuity directly to the rolling step after heating in an induction furnace without any intermediate product. The rolled flat product is withdrawn as sheet upon controlled cooling, by means of cutting and withdrawal device or wound on a reel to form a coil of a continuous strip severable by cutting device downstream of a cooling system. Surface cooling devices can be provided between rolling stands. The feed speed from continuous casting to the end of rolling is increasing step by step in relation to the thickness reductions and the quality of the end product, with regulation in cascade to the downstream direction.
Abstract:
A continuous casting installation for producing thin slabs includes a laterally adjustable mold in which an immersion nozzle protrudes. In the mold there is opposite a larger crowned cross section on the charging side a cross section on the strand outlet side which is small and identically crowned in the central region. The installation further has pairs of supporting and guiding rollers which follow the mold and have a caliber adapted to the emerging crowned strand. The broad-face parts have planar-surface central parts which are arranged parallel to one another along their widths and taper toward one another in the casting direction of the strand. The broad-face parts also have planar side surfaces arranged so that they taper conically toward each other in the direction of the narrow faces. The planar-surface central plate is connected to the planar-surface side surfaces by transitional parts. The transitional parts taper toward each other in the form of a wedge and the wedge tip ends at a distance (a), measured from the upper edge of the mold, with a=0.5 to 0.8×L, where L=the length of the mold. The supporting and guiding rollers have a contour which corresponds to the planar-surface central plate and the planar side plates of the mold broad faces in the region of the mouth of the mold.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a sidewall member of a continuous casting mold from a copper blank, wherein the sidewall member has an upper and a lower edge and a curved widened area beginning at the upper edge and tapering in a direction to the lower edge and to the sides of the sidewall member, the copper blank is hot-forged via several intermediate shapes to a rectangular plate with an initial wedge shape. The rectangular plate is then further formed by final hot-forging in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular plate with a straight saddle, having a width that is only a portion of a width of the rectangular plate measured relative to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular plate, and the curved widened area is pre-forged. Subsequently, the rectangular plate is quenched and work-hardened. The rectangular plate is then cold-hammered via a wedge-shaped bottom saddle for work-hardening a middle portion of the rectangular plate and for producing a final wedge shape of the rectangular plate. Finally, the entire curved widened area is work-hardened with a narrow saddle.
Abstract:
A liquid-cooled chill mold for continuous casting of thin steel slabs is disclosed whose cross-sectional length is a multiple of the cross-sectional width, having two opposing wide side walls, each with a copper liner and a backing plate, and narrow side walls delimiting the width of the slab, with the copper liners that delimit the mold cavity being detachably attached to the backing plates by metal studs made of a CuNiFe alloy and the metal studs being welded to the copper liners.
Abstract:
Seen against the direction of casting, the narrow width dimension of a mold is widened through appropriate surface contour, at least in the mold center, to facilitate charging of the mold whereby the lower portions of the longitudinal walls of the mold are essentially parallely curved while in the upper portion at least one of the walls tangentially merges into the pour-in portion of the mold.
Abstract:
Method to obtain thin slabs by continuous casting, whereby the ratio between the short side and the long side of the slabs is greater than 1:10, the thin slabs (13) being obtained by casting in an ingot mould (10), the slab (13) becoming detached during cooling from the ingot mould (10) independently and automatically owing to its geometric conformation being such that its long sides (12) diverge from each other. Also set forth, an ingot mould (10) for the continuous casting of thin slabs, in which the dimensional ratio between the short side (11) and the long side (12) of the mould is between 1:10 and 1:100, the mould (10) employing the above method, at least one of the long sides (12) having an outline that includes a substantially continuous enlargement of the section of the mould, starting from one of the short sides (11).
