Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a cast steel strip of a preferably H exertrisshaveen or hot brittle steel quality with a strip casting, and a strip casting plant for performing this method.
  • the strip caster is preferably a two-roll caster with two casting rolls arranged with their axes of rotation in a horizontal plane.
  • the cast strip is pressed against one of the roll surfaces by means of gas jet pressure.
  • the casting roll leading the cast strip is always associated with a pressure roll or a driving roll with which the strip is pressed against the casting roll and moved in close contact with the casting roll by applying a strip tension. If necessary, the strip tension also acts here as far back as the banding cross section and also promotes hot cracking.
  • the invention aims to avoid these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to propose a method for producing a cast steel strip of a preferably H exertrissaten steel quality and a strip casting plant for implementing this method, wherein the cast steel strip from Band Ésquerrough down to the substantially horizontal transport device largely free from acting on the steel strip Bandanpress- or strip deformation forces (eg by thickness reductions, driver) is performed.
  • This object is achieved by a method of the type described above in that the cast steel strip is guided during its transport movement along the lateral surface of one of the two casting rolls without local application of contact forces or the band thickness influencing deformation forces in a transport channel and in this transport channel a strip cooling in a range of 15 K / s to 200 K / s, and that a strip tension in the region of the lower vertex of the casting roll is set to a value at which the steel strip on the casting roll abuts substantially slip-free over substantially the entire quarter circle arc.
  • the most favorable belt cooling speed is in a range of 15 K / s to 100 K / s.
  • a particularly gentle tape guide is achieved when the cast steel strip is guided in contact with the contact surface of one of the two casting rolls from a vertical casting direction in a substantially horizontal transport direction.
  • the cast steel strip be moved along one of the shell surfaces of the casting rolls in an atmosphere opposite to air during its transport movement reduced oxygen content or in a largely oxygen-free inert gas atmosphere is performed.
  • the oxygen content of the atmosphere is adjusted to less than 8% oxygen, preferably to less than 1% oxygen.
  • the cast steel strip after passing through the transport channel and the translational Wegbelie from the lateral surface of the casting roll over a distance of at least 1 m, preferably more than 2 m, is guided substantially horizontally on a transport device.
  • band tensile forces from the weight forces of a downstream sling, a belt driver or reaction forces from a rolling stand against the belt transport direction are steadily reduced, so that the steel belt leaves the transport channel in the region of the lower vertex of the casting roll largely free of unwanted extraneous stresses.
  • the cast steel strip after a substantially horizontal transport movement forms a belt loop and from this belt loop, a retro-acting strip tension is introduced into the cast steel strip.
  • a stable tape guide from the band forming cross section to the belt loop and on the other hand a decoupling of the casting process of treatment steps in downstream belt treatment facilities is achieved.
  • a strip tension in the cast steel strip preferably in a region of the lower vertex of the casting roll, controlled or regulated by the weight of the belt loop.
  • the dead weight of the belt loop is determined by a position measurement of the belt loop and used as a control variable.
  • the strip tension in the cast steel strip preferably in a region of the lower apex of the casting roll, can be selectively influenced by influencing the friction and velocity relationships between the steel strip and the transport device.
  • this can be achieved by introducing on the cast steel strip during a substantially horizontal transport movement on a belt transport means by applying a clamping force to the casting roll back-acting tape tension or tape compressive stresses in the steel strip and this clamping force along a path portion lying in the transport direction of the steel strip end the transport is applied.
  • the strip tension in the cast steel strip is adjusted by applying the Kemmkraft and used as a control variable. An interaction of several control variables is possible.
  • Particularly stable conditions in the tape guide can be achieved if the strip tension is set in the region of the lower vertex of the casting roll to a value at which the steel strip rests on the casting roll substantially slip-free over substantially the entire quarter circle.
  • the strip tension in the lower vertex should in this case be kept so low that only a band flutter is prevented in the transport channel, but beyond no significant additional Bandzug technique should work back into the Band Struktursquerites.
  • the average band cross-section temperature at the end of a first substantially horizontal transport movement of the metal strip is 60 ° C to 250 ° C lower than in Banding cross section, that is, the range of hot brittleness is at this point already substantially exceeded or overcome.
  • this substantially horizontal transport movement of the steel strip may include deviations of +/- 15 ° to the horizontal.
  • the cast steel strip is subjected before winding in the band reel an at least one-stage reduction in strip thickness in an in-line rolling process.

  • the transport device can be inclined up to +/- 15 ° to the horizontal.
  • the transport device comprises driven rollers or roller pairs.
  • the metal strip has already cooled down to such an extent that the metal strip can be exposed to a sufficient contact pressure without the risk of tearing or an increased risk of cracking on the strip surface.
