Definitions

  • a second advantage has reference to the ease with which the continuous cast product can be handled after leaving the casting machine.
  • the continuous cast product In the first arrangement the continuous cast product must be cut into specified product lengths while traveling in the .vertical direction after which each cut length is rotated as much as 90 in order to effect its discharge from the casting machine, after which the rotating mechanism is returned to receive the next length.
  • the cast product issues from the mold in a relatively vertical direction, it is bent to discharge in essentially the horizontal direction, in which it is conveniently cut into required lengths and discharged from the casting machine without need for rotation or tilting of the product or necessity of repositioning of any tilting equipment.
  • the second arrangement while it eliminates the tilting equipment, since the cast product is caused to take a horizontal position where it is cut into the required lengths, it still takes up substantially more height than While the employment of either of the low level casting arrangements affords some beneficial advantages, they also impose some serious risks, both with respect to the productivity and soundness of the cast product and in the handling of the cast product, particularly, in the designing of an acceptable dummy bar system.
  • the thin skinned cast product is subject to bending stresses imposed while the skin of the product is extremely hot and thin and still increasing in thickness. Moreover, these stresses are normally developed above the lowest point of stream penetration of the incoming molten metal. Stream penetration is caused both by the weight and the metallurgical reaction of the molten metal when poured into the mold which under ideal circumstances results in a symmetrical cone-shaped reservoir of molten metal surrounded by thin solidifying outer walls or skin.
  • the first is the hydrostatic pressure effect of the depth of molten -metal tending to force it through the thin walls of cast product.
  • the second is that during the first solidification and contraction phase, wherein the outer skin moves away .fromthe mold walls in an irregular manner, surface soft spots are created one to local hot spots which are more sensitive to the pressure of the inner molten metal.
  • the aforesaid conditions make it mandatory that the present casting operations be extremely and unduly delicate, requiring constant, precise and exact control at the great risk of experiencing repeated breakouts.
  • a still furtherdifiiculty in present low level casting plant designs is the inability to design the dummy bar to economically and conveniently cooperate with the curved elements of the secondary cooling as well as the runout sections. Furthermore, there has been a great need for 2.
  • the present invention is addressed to a novel casting machine which overcomes each and every one of the aforesaid difiiculties and still incorporates thebenefits that inure from the employments of a low level casting *with, a straight first portion of a secondary cooling section in which there is a minimum and non-varying gap between the mold and the first portion of the secondary cooling section.
  • the total vertical dimension of these two elements is such that the cast product is maintained in a straight, unbent condition and free from any bending stresses incident to causing the cast product to assume the horizontal position until sufficient solidification and cooling of the outer walls occurs and until the cast product passes below the location where detrimental internal washing action occurs due to stream penetration.
  • the lower end of the straight oscillating secondary cooling section is followed by a stationary secondary cooling section having a short straight section followed by a curved portion designed to impose a progressively controlled low bending strain to the cast product to gradually curve it from the vertical to the horizontal and before total solidification takes place, preferably at or before 75% of total solidification.
  • a curved secondary cooling section having the the same radius as the secondary cooling bending section.
  • the radii of the curved sections of the secondary cooling zone are of the order of a ratio between 30 to 50 to l 'to the thickness of the cast product.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an essentially permanent dummy bar section to' which may :be secured different size, replaceable transition sections and starter heads designed to cover the whole range of the products produced by the casting machine, in
  • bar includes flexible members which not 'only permit the bar to be guided through the short straight as well as the curved secondary cooling sections, but will also allow it to be located in an out-of-the-way position above the pinch roll and leveling unit when riot in use, thereby affording a very accessible and compact arrangement.

  • the tundish car 13 is brought to and moved away from the mold by virtue of wheels 15 secured thereto which run over rails 16 supported by the platform 10.
  • Molten metal of a specific temperature range is delivered to the tundish 14 and, hence, to the mold from a ladle 17 which, as shown, is supported by a hook 18, although it could be supported by a permanent structure support, the hook lines 4a ⁇ 4a of FIG- being' attached to the hoist of an overhead crane, not

  • a pair of pinch rolls 23 At the lower end of the curved cooling section 27a there is provided a pair of pinch rolls 23, the axes of which, while contained in a common plane, are ofiset towards the casting machine relative to a vertical plane. Following the pair of pinch rolls 28 is a second pair of pinch rolls 29, the axes of which are contained in a common plane perpendicular to the horizontal. After a pair of pinch rolls 29, there is a support roller 31 which is, in turn, followed by a third pair of pinch rolls 32. The pinch rolls 29 and 32 in combination with the roller 31 in addition to advancing the cast product serve to bevel it.
  • each of the three sets of pinch rolls are driven by a means, not shown, and the upper rolls are vertically adjustable by piston cylinder assemblies 33.
  • upper roll of the third pair of pinch rolls 32 is employed to automatically disengage the head of the dummy bar mechanism from the billet B, it being noted in FIGURE 1 that the upper roll in question is adapted to be raised into a position considerably away from the billet B.
  • Adjacent the delivery side of the pair of pinch rolls 32 there is provided a curved trough 34 which supports and guides a dummy bar mechanism 35 which is made up of flexible members that enable it to take the curved path dictated by the trough 34.
  • the bar 35 is advanced towards and away from the casting machine by a pair of pinch rolls 36 driven by a means not shown and supported by the platform 10. It will be noted from FIGURE 1 that when the upper roll of the pair of pinch rolls 32 is in its upper position, as indicated in phantom, the dummy bar is free to pass beneath it, as is somewhat better shown in FIGURE 4.
  • a shear 37 Following the pair of pinch rolls 32 is a shear 37 which is advanced by a piston cylinder assembly 38 in the direction of travel of the cast product so as to effect a cut of a particular length without requiring a discontinuation of the casting operation.
  • the shear 37 may take the form of several types and since it is not a part of the present invention, the particular details thereof will not be given.
  • the billet B issuing from the shear 37 is received by a runout table 39 which, in the usual manner, is made up of power-driven rollers 40.
  • FIGURES 2 and 3 With reference first to the mold assembly, it is made up of a construction similar to what is customarily employed, having an outer stationary housing 41 to which there is secured and guided for vertical movement therein an inner platform or housing 42, the lower end of which extends below the housing 41 and is constructed in the form of a pair of opposed arms to which there is connected the outer ends of the link 25 that oscillates the inner housing 42 relative to the outer housing 41. Secured to the top of the inner platform 42 is an annular crosspiece 43 to which is secured the inner and outer walls of a water cooling passageway. To the bottom of the outer wall 45 is secured an annular crosspiece 44.
  • the copper mold cooling liner 46 extends through the extending member 47 and its lower end terminates adjacent the first rollers of the secondary cooling unit 22 so that there is a minimum and non-varying gap between the two members and the two members can be so aligned me- 5 chanically so as to form but one continuous straight passageway for the solidifying cast product.
  • the short attached secondary cooling section 22 consists of a number of sets of rollers 49 which, in the illustrated form number ten, each set being made up of four rollers arranged in a common plane which engage the four sides of the billet B. These rollers are not driven, but are freely rotatable upon contact with the advancing billet. Behind the rollers 49 there are provided water spray headers for each side of the cast product, two of which are shown at 51 and 52. The water headers 51 and 52 will deliver coolant, such as water, under high pressure to the billet to enhance its rapid cooling and internal solidification, while in the straight, unbent condition.
  • coolant such as water
  • the aggregate vertical dimension of the mold liner 46 and the straight attached secondary cooling section 22 forms a passageway of approximately 6 feet, which dimension, as previously noted, relates to the depth of the penetration of the stream so as to assure that no bending of the cast product will take place above the lowest point of stream penetration or with respect to a given molten material or casting condition if bending does occur above the point it will only be allowed to the extent that the skin of the cast product is thick enough and cool enough to give maximum assurance against a breakout as well as assure quality of cast product.
  • the present invention provides an arrangement that is freed from all effects of these conditions and wherein the bending of the skin thickness of the cast product issuing from the section 22 will occur either below or in a safe area above the stream penetration zone and where the solidified skin is of a sufiicient thickness that the possibility of breakthrough will be considerably reduced.
  • the thickness can typically range from /4 to 1%" thickness for a 5" square billet, which is about 15% to 30% of the total thickness.
  • the above described arrangement possesses some noteworthy advantages. Since the cast product is formed and maintained in the straight vertical position until a sufiicient skin thickness is obtained, during which period the penetration stream is symmetrical and bending is delayed relative to the penetration stream and cooling and the gravitational effect is equalized, the product is assured of being maintained in a regular and symmetrical slab form.
  • the stationary secondary cooling section 27 is carried by a frame 53 which, also supports one end of the curved cooling section 27a.
  • the cooling section 27 is made up of a number of sets of rollers 54, which, in the case illustrated, number ten, each set consisting of four rollers arranged in a common plane and adapted to engage the four sides of the solidifying billet.
  • the billet is also subject to coolant during its passage through the secondary cooling unit 27, for which purpose there is provided cooling headers and sprays 56 and 57.
  • the additional cooling section 27a which is generated about a radius similar to the radius used to' generate the section 27 of the secondary cooling section.
  • the degree of the radius employed in deflecting the cast product from the vertical to the horizontal must be such as not to overly strain the surface of the hot thin skinned, pliable billet. It has been found that a cast product formed in the above-described manner can be very successfully handled by employing a radius of thirty to fifty times the thickness of the cast product. In the illustrated case the strain of outer fiber is only about 1 /3 percent with a 30 to 1 ratio of radius to thickness. It is also important to note that in the disclosed arrangement no positive pressure is imposed on the cast product itself during the transition period from the straight to the Eurved, since the curvature is imposed by the roller necklace of the sections 27 of the secondary cooling sec tion by a series of progressive bends.
