Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the weight of resin sand gravity casting liquid in rolling mill stands. Background Technology
[0002] The rolling mill stand is the "skeleton" component of a metallurgical rolling mill unit, bearing the rolling force and ensuring the accuracy of the roll system. A single piece typically weighs 100-450 tons, has a profile dimension exceeding 10 meters, and a wall thickness of 600-1000 mm. Its structure is a closed box or archway shape, with a large moment of inertia and extremely high rigidity requirements. Because its geometry exceeds the usable range of forging, welding, or low-pressure casting, it is globally used for one-time molding using resin self-hardening sand gravity casting. Existing rolling mill stand casting processes have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1) Current formula for calculating liquid weight: G 总 =G 铸件 +G 浇注系统 +G 冒口 +G 其他损耗 The latter three items are all based on the gross weight of the casting, G. 铸件 The empirical proportional coefficients (15–30%, 10–25%, 3–10%) are used for estimation; the coefficient range is wide, and human intervention is large. The difference in values taken by different engineers in the same workshop can reach ±8%; once the liquid weight is calculated incorrectly, tens of tons of residual molten steel are directly generated, and the energy consumption of recycling is huge. In actual production, waste of more than 15% frequently occurs.
[0004] 2) Ignoring the difference in directional linear shrinkage, the frame has less resistance from the sand core in the length direction, and the shrinkage rate is 0.1–0.3% higher than that in the height direction;
[0005] 3) The nonlinear relationship between the unquantified expansion rate and the casting weight and sand mold strength was ignored; when furan resin sand was used for castings >100t, the expansion weight gain rate was significantly lower than the manual value.
[0006] 4) Resin sand molds are prone to "expansion" under the combined effects of high-temperature molten steel (≈1500℃) and static pressure (>0.08MPa), resulting in larger cavity dimensions and further amplifying liquid weight deviation.
[0007] Due to the combined effects mentioned above, the calculated values using traditional formulas are generally 20-40 tons higher than the actual demand. In the competitive landscape of the metallurgical industry in recent years, characterized by "low-price bidding and meager profits," surplus molten steel not only directly increases the costs of raw materials, energy consumption, refining, and remelting, but also lengthens the production cycle. To mitigate risk, some companies are even forced to perform "secondary casting to compensate for shrinkage," further increasing labor, welding, and finishing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of the above analysis and in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for calculating the liquid weight of resin sand gravity casting of rolling mill stands, and to solve at least one of the following problems in the existing resin sand gravity casting process of rolling mill stands: low accuracy of empirical coefficient method, failure to consider the difference of linear shrinkage in different directions, neglect of high temperature static pressure expansion effect, and poor accuracy of expansion rate.

[0045] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same parts.
[0046] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the casting blank of Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0047] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the casting blank of Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
[0048] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the casting blank of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0049] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0050] This invention discloses a method for calculating the weight of resin sand gravity casting liquid in a rolling mill stand, comprising:
[0051] S1: Select the linear shrinkage rate ε of the casting in different directions based on the casting wall thickness and length. L The expansion rate f of the resin sand chamber was obtained based on measured data. v ;
[0052] S2: Based on linear shrinkage rate ε L , resin sand expansion rate f v Adjust the process blank model;
[0053] S3: Design the gating pipe model and riser model based on the process blank model, and obtain the volume of the process blank model, the volume of the gating pipe and the riser based on the 3D design software;
[0054] S4: Calculate the required molten iron mass for pouring based on the adjusted process blank model volume, pouring pipeline volume, and riser volume.
[0055] During implementation, step S1 outputs ε L f vThe quantitative value provides a unique "enlargement-reduction" benchmark in step S2, ensuring that the dimensions of the billet and gating riser are laid out in one go, eliminating the need for repeated trial molding in the traditional method. The process billet model provides a basis for the gating pipe and riser model, and together with the adjusted process billet model obtained in step S2, they can form a complete and closed three-dimensional volume package, providing the volume of each part that can be extracted with one click in step S3, without the need for additional surface patching or estimation, ensuring that the volume data is from the same source and without manual intervention. The three sets of measured volumes output in step S3 can be used as direct variables in the formula of step S4, with a volume accuracy of ≤1%, which reduces the final molten iron calculation error to ±1.5% and completely eliminates the "coefficient reversal" step. The accurate total amount of molten iron output in step S4 can be poured with one batching, achieving a residual molten steel of ≤1.6%, increasing the yield by 3-8 percentage points, and achieving comprehensive benefits of cost reduction, energy saving, and shortening the cycle.
[0056] It should be noted that the actual size of the process blank obtained during casting is not equal to the theoretical size. This is because, firstly, the molten metal shrinks after solidification, resulting in a smaller volume of the casting compared to the theoretical value; secondly, after the high-temperature molten iron is poured into the resin sand mold, the heat strength of the mold wall decreases, and the cavity expands outward under the static pressure of the molten metal, leading to an increase in the actual weight of the casting compared to the theoretical weight. Different linear shrinkage rates ε are introduced. L , resin sand expansion rate f v The above two factors represent the effects mentioned above, indicating that the actual dimensions of the process blank are affected by these two factors.
[0057] Compared with existing technologies, this invention obtains ε through a standardized method. L f v This technology enables the extraction of measured volumes, allowing for precise calculation of molten iron quality with a single click, achieving "one-click precise casting." Data from the 3D model to the total molten iron volume is sourced uniformly, eliminating empirical coefficients and the differences in manual coefficient selection. This results in improved process design efficiency and reduced steel consumption; residual molten steel is ≤4%, with optimal values ≤2%, material utilization exceeding 52%, and yield exceeding 61%. Each piece of molten steel saves 7-20 tons, and material utilization increases by 4-12 percentage points, achieving cost reduction, energy saving, and zero trial casting.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts the linear shrinkage rate ε in the length direction of the frame casting. 长 Linear shrinkage rate ε in the width direction of the frame casting 宽 Linear shrinkage ε in the height direction of the frame casting 高 The linear shrinkage rate in three directions takes into account the differences in linear shrinkage of the casting in different directions, enabling more accurate measurement.
[0065] Specifically, step S102 includes:
[0066] S1021: Calculate the weight G of the casting by weighing or by multiplying the volume and density. c ;
[0067] S1022: Based on weight G c Preliminary classification of expansion rate based on molding sand type;
[0068] S1023: Further refine the initial graded expansion rate of resin sand based on the measured expansion rate data of resin sand.
[0069] During implementation, the measured data of the resin sand expansion rate of this invention are shown in Table 1:

[0072] It should be noted that the existing technology for increasing the box weight is based on measurements using silica sand, which differs significantly from the measured box weight increase rate using resin sand in this invention, as shown in Table 2:
[0073] Table 2 Casting Handbook: Casting Expansion Weight Increase Rate
[0074]
[0075] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses the measured expansion rate of resin sand, which avoids the problem of excessive difference between the expansion rates of silica sand and resin sand, reduces the deviation of the expansion rate of the upper casting, improves the calculation accuracy, and avoids the problems of excessive deviation and excessive liquid weight caused by the prior art using general manual values and silica sand expansion rates for expansion rate.

[0087] S304: Select the model to be inspected and use the volume segment measurement under the quality attribute of the 3D software to obtain the volume of the process blank model.
[0088] Compared with existing technologies, this invention achieves accurate volume measurement by constructing riser and pouring pipeline models instead of using empirical coefficients, thus improving the poor accuracy caused by the high-temperature static pressure expansion box effect in existing technologies.
[0089] Specifically, step S4 includes: detecting and correcting the density of the molten steel raw material at the casting temperature; the detection and correction can be performed using the weighing-volume method (Archimedes' method).

Figure 1 As shown, red represents risers, orange represents castings, and blue represents chills. This machine frame casting is designed with four risers: one open riser and three closed risers. The open riser measures 1740×2290×2640 (pour height) mm with a radius of R200. One closed riser measures 1700×2200×2200 (pour height) mm; two closed risers of the same size measure 1600×1900×2000 (pour height) mm. This machine frame uses a 3-well, 6-hole combined gating system, with both the sprue and runner employing [missing information - likely a specific design element]. Ceramic tile pipes, with 28 internal gating channels. The straight runner is 24m long, the horizontal runner is 37m long, and the ingate is 19m long. The total volume of the pouring piping is V. A 1.034×10 9 mm 3 After the process design was completed, the measured casting volume Vv was 3.37 × 10⁻⁶. 10 mm3 Riser volume V R It is 2.499×10 10 mm 3 .

[0122] The overall plan was to pour 388 tons of molten steel in three ladles initially, with the remaining 56 tons poured in two separate pours using risers. In actual production, considering the combined pouring of the three ladles and the crane's lifting capacity, a two-large-one-small pouring method was adopted. The two large ladles each had a planned steel volume of 139 tons, and the small ladle had a planned steel volume of 110 tons. To ensure no slag ingress at the end of the pouring process, each of the two large ladles had an excess of 2 tons. The small ladle had a remaining 20.7 tons of molten steel, resulting in a calculated weight exceeding the actual required weight by 16.7 tons, accounting for 3.76% of the total molten steel weight.

The first open riser is a waist-shaped open riser with a center distance of 300mm, measuring 1500×1800×1680 (pouring height) mm, with a riser radius of R150. The second open riser is also a waist-shaped open riser with a center distance of 300mm, measuring 1320×1520×1680 (pouring height) mm, with a riser radius of R150. Two identical closed risers are waist-shaped closed risers with a center distance of 300mm, measuring 1040×1340×1300 (pouring height) mm. This machine frame uses a 2-bundle, 4-hole combined casting method, with both the sprue and runner employing... Ceramic tile pipes, with 16 internal gating channels. The sprue is 12m long, the gating runner is 28m long, and the ingate is 5m long. The total volume of the gating system is V. A It is 6.4×10 8 mm 3 After the process design is completed, the volume V of the casting is measured. v 1.36×10 10 mm 3 Riser volume V R 1.005×10 10 mm 3 According to Table 3, the liquid density is 7075 kg / m³. 3 .
[0133] According to calculations, G L = 13.64 × 1.02 × 1.021 × 1.021 × 1.008 × 7075 + (0.64 + 10.05)
[0134] ×7075
[0135] =179063kg.
[0136] The solidified liquid weighed 180t, the gross weight was 109t, the casting yield was 60.7%, and the material utilization rate was 52.14%.
[0137] In actual production, two ladles were considered for combined casting, with the first casting weighing 162t and an additional 18t poured through the riser. The initial casting used two ladles, each planned to hold 81t of molten steel. To ensure no slag entered at the end of the casting process, the actual tapped steel was 84t and 82t. The two ladles had 4.6t and 1.2t remaining respectively, for a total of 5.8t of remaining molten steel. The calculated weight exceeded the actual required weight by 1.8t, accounting for 1.11% of the total weight of the initial casting.

[0143] Example 3
[0144] This embodiment discloses a method for calculating the weight of resin sand gravity casting liquid in a rolling mill stand, used for preparing... Figure 3 The frame blank shown measures 10735×4580×800mm, weighs 157.8 tons, and is made of G20Mn5 material. Figure 3 As shown, the casting process is designed as follows:
[0145] Total mass of molten steel required for casting (G) L ,satisfy:
[0146] G L =V v ×k×ρ L +(V A +V R )×ρ L k = (1 + ε) 长 )×(1+ε 宽 )×(1+ε 高 )×(1+f v The rest is the same as in Example 1;
[0147] Where, ρ L The liquid density is 7130 kg / m³ (from Table 3). 3 , ε 长 =2.0%; ε 宽 =2.1%; ε 高 =2.1%; such as Figure 3 As shown, red represents risers and gray represents castings. This machine frame casting is designed with 4 risers: 2 open risers and 2 closed risers. The two identical open risers are waist-shaped risers with a center-to-center distance of 650mm, measuring 1540×2190×1930 (pouring height) mm, with a riser radius of R200. The two identical closed risers are waist-shaped closed risers with a center-to-center distance of 420mm, measuring 1240×1660×1600 (pouring height) mm. This machine frame uses a 2-bundle, 4-hole combined casting method, with both the sprue and runner employing [missing information - likely a specific design or method]. Ceramic tile pipes, with 18 internal gating channels. The sprue is 14m long, the gating runner is 33m long, and the ingate is 6m long. The total volume of the gating system is V. A It is 7.53×10 8 mm 3 After the process design is completed, the volume V of the casting is measured. v 2.25×10 10 mm 3 The riser volume VR is 1.73 × 10⁻⁶. 10 mm 3 The liquid density is 7130 kg / m³. 3 .
[0148] According to calculations, G L = 22.52 × 1.02 × 1.021 × 1.021 × 1.008 × 7130 + (0.73 + 17.36) × 7130
[0149] =300909kg.
[0150] The total weight of the solidified liquid was 301t, the gross weight was 185.4t, the casting yield was 61.6%, and the material utilization rate was 52.42%.
[0151] In actual production, two ladles were considered for combined casting, poured in two stages. The first pour weighed 267t, with an additional 34t poured via riser. The initial pour planned for 133.5t of steel from each ladle. To ensure no slag entered at the end of the pour, the actual steel output from both ladles was 135t. The two ladles had 4.6t and 6t remaining, respectively, for a total of 10.6t of remaining steel. The calculated weight exceeded the actual required weight by 7.6t, representing 2.85% of the total weight of the poured steel.
[0152] Calculation of molten steel using typical existing technical methods:
