Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a continuous casting mold for preventing corner cracks in a slab.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a general continuous casting apparatus
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a mold 3 of the continuous casting apparatus of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a front view, a top view, and a side view of the mold 3 of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating a brittle area of steel according to a temperature.
  • liquid molten steel passes from a ladle 1 to a tundish 2 and is injected into the mold 3, thereby forming a solidified layer at a surface of a slab.
  • the solidification of the liquid molten steel is completed while the slab is passing through a second cooling zone 4 including a plurality of guide rolls, thereby allowing slabs to be continuously produced.
  • molten steel is injected into the mold 3 through a soak nozzle 2a and a solidified layer is formed from a surface of the molten steel at a short side of a mold 3a and a long side of a mold 3b and grows and becomes thicker.
  • the solidified layer progressing downwardly, decreases in temperature and becomes contracts.
  • the mold 3 does not compensate for such contraction, tension occurs in the solidified layer and cracks are formed therein.
  • a bottom width is reduced in comparison with a top width, thereby allowing the mold 3 to incline.
  • a shrinkage rate of long sides of the solidified layer is compensated by allowing the short side mold 3a to incline by reducing a bottom width W 1B of the long sides in comparison with a top width W 1T of the long sides.
  • a shrinkage rate of short sides of the solidified layer is compensated by allowing the long side mold 3b to incline by reducing a bottom width W 2B of the short side mold 3a in comparison with a top width W 2T thereof.
  • Corner cracks formed in slabs are closely related with a brittle area of steel.
  • the steel has three brittle areas according to a temperature.
  • malleability is small in an area among these areas, in which a surface temperature of a slab is from about 700°C to about 800°C (hereinafter, referred to as a third area brittle section), although a strain speed is low, cracks easily develop.
  • the slab is cast to allow corners to be chamfered to restrict the temperature at the corners from being more rapidly reduced than other portions of the slab, thereby allowing the temperature of corners to be outside of a brittle section while the slab is being bent or leveled by the continuous casting apparatus.
  • prior art inventions for modifying a continuous casting mold as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D , are disclosed in Patent Nos. EP0776714 and EP0409708 , Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. hei 11-290995 , and Korean Patent Application No. KR2002-0084914 .
  • Patent No. EP0776714 discloses a method of reducing inner cracks of a slab occurring while reducing an unsolidified portion of the slab, by allowing short sides of the slab to have a projecting shape using a short-side mold 5 .
  • a chamfer of the slab includes a surface perpendicular to long sides instead of a flat incline, an effect of preventing a reduction in a temperature caused by chamfering is reduced in this portion and a corner is folded during a process of rolling the slab.
  • a shape and a size of the projection 5a is identical at top and bottom thereof, a shrinkage rate of the chamfer is not compensated, thereby developing cracks.
  • Patent No. EP0409708 may provide effects of preventing a folded groove in rolled steel by allowing a chamfer of a slab to be a flat incline by inserting a short-side mold 6 into a long side groove 7a and simultaneously with increasing durability by allowing a thickness of corners of a projection 6a to be great.
  • a width of the short-side mold 6 and the top and the bottom have the same shape and size, a shrinkage rate of the slab at an incline surface of a chamfer is not compensated, thereby developing cracks in the chamfer.
  • Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. hei 11-290995 discloses a mold, in which both ends of a short-side mold 8 is processed as an arc to form a corner of a slab to have an arc shape. It is impossible to modify a width of the mold.
  • the corner may be effective for preventing a reduction in a temperature of the corner and for increasing durability of a metal plate of the corner due to the arc shape thereof.
  • the corner of the slab having the arc shape has the same shape at top and bottom, a shrinkage rate of a solidified layer of an arc is not compensated, thereby developing cracks between surfaces.
  • Korean Patent Application No. KR2002-0084915 discloses a short-side mold 9 provided with a projection 9a forming a chamfer at corners of a slab, which increases in size at a lower portion to prevent corner cracks of the slab and cracks between surfaces. Since the projection 9a increases downwards, a length of the short-side mold 9 except the projection 9a is reduced at a lower portion thereof, thereby compensating for a shrinkage rate of the slab. However, since a length of an incline surface of the projection 9a increases at a lower portion at a chamfer of the slab, the shrinkage rate of the slab is not compensated, thereby developing cracks between surfaces at the chamfer.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides a continuous casting mold for compensating for a shrinkage rate of a slab and reducing the abrasion of the mold.
  • a continuous casting mold tapered downwards including two long-side molds and two short-side molds sealing a space between the two long-side molds and formed with projections on both ends thereof to form chamfers at corners of a slab, in which the projection of the short-side mold 40 is reduced downwards to compensate a shrinkage amount of the slab.
  • the short-side mold toward a bottom thereof, may decrease in a width of an incline surface of the projection 42 and a width of a central surface 44a not projecting.
  • the short-side mold toward a bottom thereof, decreases in an incline angle of the incline surface of the projection.
  • an incline angle of an incline surface of the projection is from about 20° to about 70°.
  • a difference between a top angle and a bottom angle at the incline angle of the incline surface of the projection may be 10° or less.
  • chamfers are formed on corners of a slab, thereby preventing a rapid decrease in a temperature at the corners during a continuous-casting process. Also, a brittle section of a third area is avoided during a process of bending or leveling the slab, thereby reducing an occurrence rate of the corner cracks.
  • the slab in the mold becomes solidified as progressing downwards, thereby being contracted.
  • widths of an incline surface and a central surface not projecting, in contact with the chamfers of the slab become smaller, thereby compensating for a shrinkage amount of a short-side solidified layer of the slab to prevent cracks between surfaces at the chamfers.
  • an incline angle of the projection is reduced toward a bottom of the short-side mold, thereby compensating for a shrinkage rate of a long-side solidified layer of the slab, which is more reduced than a tapered incline rate of the short-side mold downwards. Accordingly, it is possible to significantly reduce a degree of abrasion of the short-side mold.

  • the both ends of the short-side mold 40 project to be shaped corresponding to chamfers on the corners and incline toward a central surface 44a, thereby forming the projections 42 having an incline surface 42a corresponding to the chamfer of the slab.
  • the short-side mold 40 is formed with the projections 42, the chamfers are formed on the corners of the slab, thereby preventing a rapid decrease in the temperature at the corners during a continuous-casting process. Also, a brittle section of a third area is avoided during the process of bending or leveling the slab, thereby reducing the corner cracks.
  • a size of the projection 42 may be 15 mm or more in a thickness direction and a width direction of the short-side mold 40.
  • the size of the projection 42 decreases toward a bottom of the projection 42 to compensate a shrinkage amount of a long-side solidified layer in the slab.
  • a width of the incline surface 42a of the projection 42 is reduced and a width of the central surface 44a not projecting also is reduced.
  • the width of the incline surface 42a becomes gradually narrower downwards and the width of the central surface 44a not projecting also becomes gradually smaller downwards.
  • a bottom width IW B of the incline surface 42a may be smaller than a top width IW T thereof and a bottom width CW B of the central surface 44a may be smaller than a top CW T thereof.
  • the slab in the mold becomes solidified as progressing downwards, thereby being contracted.

  • a horizontal difference W 1 ⁇ T - W 1 ⁇ B 2 (refer to FIG. 3 for W 1T and W 1B ) between top and bottom of the central surfaces 44a is formed to be greater than 0, thereby compensating the shrinkage amount of the long-side solidified layer.
  • the long-side molds inclines with an incline surface amount of d 1 (d 1 >0) to compensate the shrinkage amount of the short-side solidified layer and the short-side mold 40 has an incline surface amount of d 2 (d 2 >0) to compensate the shrinkage amount of the long-side solidified layer.
  • d 1 and d 2 as those of a general mold, have a value of from about 0.5% to about 1.5% (refer to FIG. 2 for W 1T , W 1B , W 2T , W 2B , d 1 , and d 2 ).
  • S shown in FIG. 7 may have a value greater than 0.
  • the short-side mold 40 is formed to allow an incline angle of the incline surface 42a of the projection 42 to become smaller, as progressing downwards.
