Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fireproof pouring tube for the continuous casting of molten metals, in particular liquid steel into thin slabs in a mold which is preferably funnel-shaped in the middle in the upper region and has outflow openings opposite one another in front of a closed bottom in the tube wall and facing the narrow sides of the mold.
  • Such a known pouring tube (Stahleisen-Schriften, Issue 8, "The Continuous Casting of Steel", page 21) is more advantageous compared to a pouring tube that is open at the bottom, because as a result of the division and deflection of the pouring jet, a turbulence harmful to solidification occurs the mold can be avoided. It is disadvantageous, however, that when the mold is filled, metal splashes up and cakes to the upper regions of the mold wall, as a result of which the formation of strand shells is prevented and breakthroughs can be caused. In addition, the distribution of the molten metal is not optimal. Too little molten metal gets into the upper areas, so that there is a temperature gradient towards these areas. This creates an uneven solidification front across the cross section of the strand to be cast.
  • molten metal can also be brought into areas of the mold that are further away from the pouring tube, but then there is an area in the immediate vicinity of the pouring tube in which molten metal is not directly from the pouring tube can reach.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pouring tube of the type mentioned, in which there is no splashing and caking of metal splashes on the cooled mold wall at the start of pouring and in normal casting operation the molten metal over the cross section of the mold better than in known pouring tubes is distributed.
  • outflow openings each have a roof-shaped guide element starting from the tube wall and a tear-off edge formed by the bottom and / or the tube wall in the lower region.
  • the guide element ensures that molten metal also reaches the upper areas on the narrow sides of the mold wall and that no zone of lower temperature is formed here. Because of the tear-off edge in the lower area, molten metal also gets directly into the area below the pouring tube, so that the result is that the molten metal is uniformly above the entire cross section of the mold is distributed.
  • each roof-shaped guide element on both sides of each outflow opening extends to the lower tear-off edge.
  • an embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the distance of the free edge of the lateral parts of the guide element from the tube wall from the upper region of the guide element to the tear-off edge provided in the lower region of the outflow opening becomes, in particular, continuously smaller.
  • each tear-off edge lies in a plane running perpendicular to the pipe axis.
  • the outflow openings should be arched in the upper area.
  • the guide element itself is preferably adapted to the shape of the associated outflow opening.
  • the uniform distribution of the molten metal can be further improved in that the clear width of each outflow opening increases from the upper region to the tear-off edge.
  • the tear-off edge should extend over the entire width of the pipe.
  • the part of the guide element located above the outflow opening forms an acute angle with the part of the tube wall lying above it.
  • An angle that is greater than 70 ° has proven to be expedient.
  • the width of the outflow openings is at most equal to the distance between the broad side walls of the mold in its lower region, which determines the strand format.
  • the pouring tube in order to be able to introduce enough molten metal into the mold in the case of molds for wide thin slabs, the pouring tube, as is known per se, can have an oval cross section.
  • the outflow openings are provided on the wall areas with the smaller radius of curvature.
  • a pouring tube 2 held with a conical head piece 2 ⁇ .
  • the pouring tube 2 projects with its lower end into a mold 3 for casting thin slabs of the order of magnitude of preferably 20-100 mm.
  • the mold 3 is formed by two opposite broad side walls 4 and two opposite narrow side walls 5.
  • the wide side walls 4 and the narrow side walls 5 are provided with cooling channels 6.
  • the broad side walls 4 form in the middle above a format-determining parallel section 7 an upwardly funnel-shaped pouring area 8 for receiving the lower end of the pouring tube 2.
  • the pouring tube 2 has an oval flow cross section and is closed at its lower end by a base plate 13. Immediately above the base plate 13 on the narrow sides of the tube wall, arched outlet openings 1 are provided on opposite sides.
  • the lower edge 11 von of the outflow opening 11, formed by the base plate 13, lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pouring tube 2 and acts as a tear-off edge.
  • the maximum width b of the outflow opening 11 at the tear-off edge 11 ⁇ is equal to or smaller than the clear distance d between the wide side walls 4 of the mold 3 in the format-determining parallel section 7.
  • the inside of the base plate 13 is arched to a vertex 14 in an arc shape toward the inside of the pouring tube 2. From the apex 14 of this bulge, guide surfaces 14 'fall in an arc towards the tear-off edges 11'.
  • a roof-shaped guide element 15 connects to the lateral edges and the upper edge of the outlet opening 11 shaped like an archway.
  • the free edges 15 ⁇ of the side parts 15 ⁇ of this roof-shaped guide element 15 are from the top, most distant from the tube wall Part 15 ⁇ beveled to the tear-off edge 11 ⁇ in the lower region of the outflow opening 11.
  • the molten metal flowing into the pouring tube 2 is divided by the apex 14 and the guide surface 14 ⁇ of the bulge of the base plate 13 and exits through the outflow openings 11. Since the mold is not yet filled with the flow-damping molten metal in this phase, the guide element 15 prevents metal from splashing upwards and to the sides and caking on the cooled broad side walls 4 and narrow side walls 5.
  • the molten metal flowing out into the mold 3 solidifies on the wall of the mold 3 and connects to a start-up head 9 which closes the mold 3 from below. As soon as the rising mold level 10 exceeds the lateral openings 11, it is covered with mold powder.
  • each guide element 15 prevent molten metal from flowing directly against the nearby broad side walls 4 and, together with the upper, far-preferred part 15 ⁇ , guide the flow of the molten metal into the upper regions near the narrow side walls 5.
