Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of continuous casting, and particularly relates to a hot compensation type slow cooling device and a slow cooling method for the corner of a continuous casting billet. Background Art

[0002] During the continuous casting process of metals, since the heat dissipation area per unit volume at the corners is much larger than that of other parts, the temperature drop at the corners is greater than that of other parts, resulting in defects such as corner cracks often occurring during the bending and straightening of the casting billets. Defective casting billets need to be taken offline for cleaning or scrapped, thus causing economic losses. Currently, the commonly used methods for reducing the temperature drop rate at the corners of casting billets include adjusting the drawing speed or adjusting the cooling intensity, etc., but the effects are not ideal.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN113145813 B discloses "a method for preventing corner cracks in continuous casting billets of small square billet bulb flats". During the continuous casting process, after the continuous casting billet exits the secondary cooling zone and before being straightened by the straightening machine, within a distance of 100 mm to 500 mm, a rapid and strong cooling method is adopted for the corners of the casting billet to reduce the corner temperature of the casting billet to 100 °C to 300 °C, ensuring that the corner temperature of the continuous casting billet is lower than 350 °C after entering the straightening process, so as to improve the strength of the corners and avoid the brittle zone at the same time. The advantages of this method are: the inclusions in the molten steel are significantly reduced, not only improving the cleanliness of the casting billet, but also reducing the sensitivity of corner cracks; the incidence rate (average value) of corner cracks in the casting billet has dropped from 4.5% to 0.5%, greatly improving the quality of the continuous casting billet. For the casting billets with corner defects, after the corners of the casting billets are peeled and cleaned, they can fully meet the rolling requirements of the bulb flats, improving the quality of the corners of the casting billets. In order to ensure that the local temperature at the corners of the casting billet can be reduced to the set temperature range instantaneously, the cooling medium used is dry ice or liquid nitrogen.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN102653835 A discloses "a method for reducing transverse cracks at the corners of continuous casting billets of boron-containing steel wide and thick plates". The water flow velocities in the water channels on the wide and narrow faces of the mold are respectively controlled within the ranges of 6.6 to 7.0 m / s and 6.9 to 7.3 m / s, and the inlet water temperature is controlled at 28 °C to 30 °C; the mold taper should be set at 1.05% to 1.15%; the melting point of the mold powder ≤ 1150 °C, and the viscosity ≤ 0.145 (Pa·s at 1300 °C); the total water volume of the inner and outer arcs in the first zone of secondary cooling is 95 to 110 L / m 2 ; the total water volume of the left and right sides in the foot roll zone is 35 to 45 L / m 2 ; the specific water consumption per ton of casting billet in secondary cooling is controlled within the range of 0.45 to 0.65 L / kg; the water flow density within the corners of the casting billet and within 15 cm from the corners ≤ 25 L / (m 2· min). After adopting this method, the corner defect rate of boron-containing steel wide and thick slab continuous casting billets has been reduced from the original 12.6% to less than 3.5%. However, this method is only applicable to the continuous casting production process of boron-containing steel wide and thick slab billets with a billet width of 1600 mm - 2300 mm, a billet thickness of 180 mm - 300 mm, and the steel type meeting a specific range.

[0005] The present invention provides a corner thermal compensation type slow cooling device and a slow cooling method for continuous casting billets. A thermally compensated temperature-controlled air flow with a set temperature is sprayed onto the corners of the continuous casting billets to reduce the temperature difference between the corners and other parts of the continuous casting billets, prevent the corners of the continuous casting billets from generating thermal stress exceeding their strength limit due to too low temperature, effectively prevent the generation of thermal cracks, and reduce the defect rate of the corners of the continuous casting billets.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is realized by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0032] An infrared thermometer is provided one by one beside the slit multi-angle nozzle 1, and the infrared thermometer is interlocked and controlled with the electric valves 6 on the hot air pipeline 3 and the cold air pipeline 4 of the corresponding slit multi-angle nozzle 1 through a control system.

[0033] The slit multi-angle nozzle 1 is a flat hollow structure, with a nozzle air chamber 11 in the middle, one end being the air inlet end and the other end being the jet end; a pipe interface 14 is provided at the air inlet end and is connected to a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is additionally connected to a hot and cold air mixer 2; the jet end is provided with a slit-shaped jet orifice, and there are multiple jet orifices, arranged in a fan shape.

[0035] Both the vertical jet orifice 13 and the outward-inclined jet orifice 12 are tapered jet orifices that expand outward, the axial height of both the vertical jet orifice 13 and the outward-inclined jet orifice 12 is 5 to 30 mm, the transverse width is 2 to 30 mm, and the outer mouth length is 5 to 50 mm; the included angle between the inner wall of the jet orifice and the center line is 5° to 35°.

[0037] The method for compensating heat at the corner of a continuous casting billet and slowly cooling according to the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] 1) Start the air compressor, and the compressed air generates pressurized hot air after passing through the radiator of the mold cooling water circulation system. The pressurized hot air is directly sent to the hot and cold air mixer 2, or is sent to the hot and cold air mixer 2 after being heated by a heater; at the same time, start the air blower to send pressurized cold air to the hot and cold air mixer 2; the pressurized hot air and the pressurized cold air are mixed in the hot and cold air mixer 2 to obtain a heat compensation temperature-controlled air flow 5; control the opening degree of the electric valve 6 through the control system, and further control the temperature of the heat compensation temperature-controlled air flow 5 within the range of 50°C to 600°C;

[0039] 2) The heat compensation temperature-controlled air flow 5 is ejected through the slit multi-angle nozzle 1 installed between 2 rollers 8 in the secondary cooling zone of the continuous casting, and the ejection direction is directly opposite to the four corners of the continuous casting billet 7 (as Figure 3 shown);

[0040] 3) At the start of continuous casting, when the continuous casting billet 7 runs to the secondary cooling zone, based on the drawing speed and the corner temperature of the continuous casting billet 7 measured in real time, determine the set temperature of the thermally compensated temperature-controlled air flow 5 ejected by each slit-type multi-angle nozzle 1. Control the opening degree of the corresponding electric valve 6 through the control system to ensure that the thermally compensated temperature-controlled air flow 5 with the set temperature is ejected to the corresponding corners of the continuous casting billet 7, and accurately control the corner temperature of the continuous casting billet 7;

[0041] 4) After continuous casting is completed, turn off the air compressor, heater, and air blower, and the corner thermal compensation type slow cooling device for continuous casting billets stops operating.

[0042] In the corner thermal compensation type slow cooling device for continuous casting billets of the present invention, the structure of the slit-type multi-angle nozzle 1 is as Figures 2a - 2c shown, and it is composed of a nozzle air chamber 11, a vertical nozzle 13, an outward-inclined nozzle 12, and a pipe connection 14. The pipe connection 14 is preferably connected to the connecting pipe by internal threads. The thermally compensated temperature-controlled air flow 5 mixed by the hot and cold air mixer 2 enters the nozzle air chamber 11 through the pipe connection 14, and then is ejected simultaneously by 2 outward-inclined nozzles 12 and 1 vertical nozzle 13, and is directly ejected to the four corners of the corresponding position of the continuous casting billet 7 ( Figure 3 the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right corners in

[0044] The function of the hot air pipeline 3 is: heat the compressed air from the air compressor by taking heat from the crystallizer circulating cooling water radiator, and then heat it up through the heater (this step can be omitted depending on the situation).

[0045] The function of the hot and cold air mixer 2 is: the high-temperature compressed air from the hot air pipeline 3 and the normal-temperature compressed air from the cold air pipeline 4 enter the hot and cold air mixer 2 for mixing according to the required temperature after controlling the flow rate by the electric valves 6 on the corresponding pipelines, so as to obtain the thermally compensated temperature-controlled air flow 5 with the required temperature.

A method for slow cooling of continuous casting billet with corner thermal compensation, characterized in that, It is realized based on the continuous casting billet corner thermal compensation type slow cooling device according to any one of claims 1 to 7; specifically, it includes the following steps: 1) Start the air compressor, and the compressed air generates pressurized hot air after passing through the radiator of the cooling water circulation system of the continuous casting mold, and the pressurized hot air is directly sent to the hot and cold air mixer, or is sent to the hot and cold air mixer after being heated by the heater; at the same time, start the air blower to send the pressurized cold air to the hot and cold air mixer; the pressurized hot air and the pressurized cold air are mixed in the hot and cold air mixer to obtain a thermal compensation temperature-controlled air flow; control the opening degree of the electric valve through the control system, and further control the temperature of the thermal compensation temperature-controlled air flow within the range of 50°C to 600°C; 2) The thermal compensation temperature-controlled air flow is ejected through the slit-type multi-angle nozzles installed between two rollers in the secondary cooling zone of continuous casting, and the ejection direction is directly opposite to the four corners of the continuous casting billet; 3) At the start of continuous casting, when the continuous casting billet runs to the secondary cooling zone, determine the set temperature of the thermocompensation temperature-controlled air flow sprayed by each slit multi-angle nozzle according to the casting speed and the corner temperature of the continuous casting billet measured in real time. Control the opening degree of the corresponding electric valve through the control system to ensure that the thermocompensation temperature-controlled air flow with the set temperature is sprayed onto the corresponding corner of the continuous casting billet, and accurately control the corner temperature of the continuous casting billet; 4) After continuous casting is completed, turn off the air compressor, heater and air blower, and the corner thermal compensation slow cooling device of the continuous casting billet stops running.
