Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、連続鋳造用鋳型および連続鋳造方法に関し、特に周囲に電磁コイルを有する連続鋳造用鋳型およびこの鋳型内に供給した溶融金属に電磁力を印加して連続鋳造する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
溶融金属の連続鋳造技術において、溶融金属の湯面の安定化、連続鋳造した鋳片表面の平滑化、および鋳造速度の高速化を達成するために、近年、鋳造時に電磁力を利用する技術が開発されている。特開昭52−32824号公報には、図12に示すように、鋳型31を包囲するように配置され、耐火物で絶縁された通電コイル35に交流電流を供給して、溶融金属32のメニスカス部を湾曲させ、パウダー34の流入を促すとともに、初期凝固における鋳型と鋳片との接触圧を軽減することにより、表面性状の向上を図ることが開示されている。
【0003】
この電磁力を利用する技術においては、電磁コイルによって付与される交流磁場により、鋳型を構成する冷却銅板に誘導電流が誘起され、その表面効果によって鋳型内の溶融金属に付与さるべき磁場が減衰することがあり、これを抑制し、且つ強度的に優れた鋳型の開発も行われている。
【0004】
特開2000−246397号公報では、図11に示すように、連続鋳造鋳型内の溶融金属のメニスカス初期凝固部付近の金属に前記鋳型壁に直角な方向に電磁力を印加させる溶融金属の連続鋳造装置において、前記鋳型31の外周面に交流電流を通電する電磁コイル35と、1対の第1の冷却銅板39と、この銅板と組み合わされる非磁性のステンレス鋼からなるバックプレート41、および1対の第2の冷却銅板40と、この銅板と組み合わされる非磁性のステンレス鋼からなるバックプレート42、および絶縁物46を含む複数の分割冷却部からなり、それぞれの前記第1の冷却銅板と前記第2の冷却銅板とは、鋳造面と反対側の面に少なくとも1つの溝を有し、それぞれの前記第1および第2の冷却銅板と組み合わされるバックプレートで、前記第1および第2の冷却銅板の前記溝を有する面側を密閉固定することにより、前記溝は冷却通路43を形成し、前記第1の冷却銅板と前記第2の冷却銅板とは、絶縁物46を介して電気的に絶縁されており、前記第1冷却銅板と組み合わされるバックプレートと前記第2の冷却銅板と組み合わされるバックプレートとは、電気的に互いに絶縁された状態で締結されている鋳型とを備えることが開示されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記特開2000−246397号公報に開示された連続鋳造装置の鋳型では、電磁力のロスを低減できるとともに、鋳型の各辺の全長を単位として分割することによって、加工精度、組み立て精度を確保できるという利点がある。
【0006】
しかしながら、この鋳型は、冷却銅板を組み合わせた鋳型のコーナー部を拡大した水平断面の概略図である図10に示すように、冷却銅板を電気的に絶縁する絶縁物46は、その合わせ面48のみにしか配置されておらず、鋳型の繰り返し使用により合せ面が磨耗して生じた隙間に溶融金属が浸入したり、鋳造中の溶融金属のスプラッシュが鋳型壁のコーナー部近傍に付着するなどして、鋳型の冷却銅板やパックプレートの合わせ面、鋳型のコーナー部近傍において絶縁性が低下することは避けられない。このような場合、鋳型の周囲に配置された電磁コイルにより冷却銅板内に浸透した磁場により鋳型の冷却銅板に誘導電流が流れ、その表面効果により鋳型内の溶融金属に付与されるべき誘導磁場が減衰するほか、鋳型の発熱が大きくなると溶融金属の凝固シェルの形成にも影響を与えるという問題がある。
【0007】
連続鋳造法においては、従来から凝固シェルの形成制御およびその鋳片品質への影響を制御する技術に関して多くの提案がなされてきた。例えば、凝固シェルの破壊により鋳型内の溶融金属が流出するブレークアウトの発生に対して、特開平5−57412号公報には、図13に示すように、連続鋳造設備の鋳型壁31に、互いに異なる位置に埋設された複数の温度検出手段36によって検出される各位置の温度を監視し、拘束性ブレークアウトを予知する方法において、温度検出手段の各々の検出温度をサンプリングし、各検出時刻における温度勾配の標準偏差を計算し、この標準偏差に所定の係数αを乗じた値を拘束性ブレークアウト時に発生する凝固シェル破断を判定する閾値とするブレークアウトの予知方法が開示されている。
【0008】
また、鋳片品質との関係において、特許第3093586号には、連続鋳造鋳片の縦割れの発生を早期に予知し、防止対策に適切に反映させるための予知方法が提案されている。これは、図14に示すように、連続鋳造機の鋳型31の幅方向に設置された鋳型の鋳造方向に複数個の温度検出点50a、50bをもつ温度検出列51a、51bに現れる鋳型壁の温度の時系列変化に基づき、一次遅れと共分散値とを用いて鋳造欠陥の指標を指数化し、その大小により縦割れ核52の発生を判定する方法である。
【0009】
これらの、ブレークアウト、縦割れ検出方法については、鋳型に複数の温度検出手段が設けられているが、凝固シェルの状態の反映としての鋳型温度を測定することを狙いとしており、いずれも鋳型の凝固面に対応する面を中心に配置されている。電磁コイルによって溶融金属に電磁力を付与しつつ連続鋳造する際において、上述の問題点を解決し、操業を安定化させ、かつ良質の鋳片をうるための技術は、提案されていない。
【0010】
本発明は、電磁コイルを有する連続鋳造装置において、鋳型の絶縁性の低下を操業中においても的確に検知できる連続鋳造用鋳型を提供するとともに、安定した操業を可能にし、磁場強度の低下に伴う鋳片品質への影響を最小限にすることのできる連続鋳造方法を提供するものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明は以下の構成を要旨とするものである。
【0012】

【0015】
(4)(1)又は(2)記載の連続鋳造用鋳型の周囲に設けた電磁コイルに通電し、前記鋳型内に浸漬ノズルから供給した溶融金属に電磁力を印加しつつ連続鋳造する方法において、前記温度測定素子の温度測定値あるいは温度測定値の上昇速度が所定値以上になったとき、鋳造速度を低下させ、あるいは鋳造を停止することを特徴とする連続鋳造方法。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明を実施例の図面に従って詳細に説明する。
【0017】
図1は、本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型の組立概念を示す斜視図であり、図2は、このようにして組み立てられた本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型の水平断面概略図である。図1、図2において、本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型は、第1の対向する冷却銅板1,1(通常、鋳型の短辺側)と、これを挟んで対向する第2の冷却銅板2,2(通常、鋳型の長辺側)とから鋳型壁面が構成され、さらに、これらの冷却銅板の背面、すなわち冷却銅板の溶鋼と接する側と反対側の面、には第1の冷却銅板1,1と組み合わされてこれを支持する一対の第1のバックプレート5,5と、第2の冷却銅板2,2と組み合われされてこれを支持する一対の第2のバックプレート6,6が設けられる。さらに、第1の冷却銅板とこれを挟んで配置される第2の冷却銅板との合わせ面12は、絶縁物3,4により電気的に絶縁されると共に、バックプレート5,5とこれを挟むバックプレート6、6とは電気的に絶縁されて締結されている。
【0018】
バックプレートは、好適には非磁性のステンレス鋼で構成されており、バックプレート5とこれと組み合わされるバックプレート6とは、間隙13をもっており、締結ボルト9により電気的に絶縁されて締結固定される。すなわち、締結ボルト9の頭部および軸部とバックプレート6の外周面およびボルト穴の内面との間には、絶縁ワッシャ10および絶縁スリーブ11が介在しており、これにより電気的に絶縁されて締結固定される。
【0019】
このように構成された鋳型の外周には、鋳造時に鋳型内の溶融金属に磁場を与えるための電流を流す電磁コイル8が設けられる。なお、本発明において、絶縁物とは、電気的絶縁物を指すものとする。
【0020】
図3は、本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型を構成する冷却銅板のコーナー部を示す斜視図である。図3に示すように、第1の冷却銅板1と冷却銅板2,2とで形成されるコーナー部(斜線で示す)の1つ以上に、温度測定素子7が複数設けられている。
【0021】
図4は、図3のコーナー部の水平断面図である。温度測定素子7が設置される冷却銅板のコーナー部とは、図4に示すように、鋳型を構成した際、他の冷却銅板1を挟み込む側(通常、長辺側)の冷却銅板2の長さ方向の仮想線15a,15bと、挟み込まれる側の冷却銅板1の長さ方向の仮想線14a,14bとが交叉して形成される冷却銅板上の矩形の範囲(斜線で示す)であり、水冷銅板の合わせ面の形状により、図4のように、一方の冷却銅板のみが含まれる場合と、図5(a)〜(d)のように、双方の冷却銅板が含まれる場合とがあり、本発明はその双方を含むものである。
【0022】
したがって、温度測定素子は、コーナー部を構成する冷却銅板1または2の少なくとも一方に設ければよい。
【0023】
上述のように、このコーナー部は、第1の冷却銅板と、第2の冷却銅板との合わせ面が少なくとも含まれており、絶縁物によって電気的に絶縁されている。しかし、図10に示したように、冷却銅板の合わせ面48の摩耗、冷却銅板への溶融金属スプラッシュの付着などにより短絡したり、或いは何らかの原因で過大な誘導電流が流れた場合に、この合わせ面での発熱が大きくなりやすく、誘導電流の変化による温度変化が現れやすい箇所である。また、コーナー部であれば、溶融金属の凝固状態の変動などによる鋳型の温度変化の影響を他の部分に比べて受けにくく、誘導電流による発熱をより的確に検知するのに好適である。本発明において、温度測定素子をこのコーナー部に設けるのは、このような理由からである。
【0024】
図6は、図2に示した本発明の鋳型のA−A視の垂直断面概略図である。図6に示すように、温度測定素子7は、冷却銅板のコーナー部でかつ、冷却銅板の電磁コイルの設置高さに対応する高さ方向±100mmの範囲内に設けられている。これは、誘導電流の発生が、電磁コイルの高さ中心位置でもっとも強く、これより上下に離れるに従って減少するからである。温度測定素子7の設置高さがコイルの設置高さの±100mmの範囲を超えると誘導電流の変化による温度変動が現われにくくなるので上記の範囲内に限定する。磁場の強さを監視するには、誘導電流の変化がもっとも感度よく検知できるこのような位置に設置するのが好ましく、温度測定素子は、図6に示すように、冷却銅板のコーナー部でかつ、鋳型の高さ方向で、電磁コイルの設置高さに対応する位置の範囲内で、好ましくは、電磁コイルの高さ中心位置に対応する位置を含んで、適切な間隔をもって、高さ方向に複数設けることが好ましい。電磁コイルの高さ中心位置に設置するのは誘導電流が最も流れやすく、その部位で短絡した場合、温度上昇が大きい点で好ましいからである。高さ方向に複数設置するのはコイル近傍での短絡をすべて検知する点で好ましいからである。温度測定素子は、鋳型の全てのコーナー部にも設けてコーナー部の温度変化を監視するのが好ましいが、1つのコーナー部に設けたものでもよい。
【0025】
温度測定素子は、熱起電力を利用した熱電対、或いは、抵抗の温度変化を利用したサーミスタや白金抵抗温度計などの測温抵抗体などを好適に使用できる。或いはまた、屈折率を利用した光ファイバー温度計を利用することも好ましい。
【0026】
これらの温度測定素子は、冷却銅板の上記コーナー部でかつその電磁コイルの設置高さに対応する高さ方向±100mmの範囲内に、孔を設けて上記温度測定素子を埋め込むことによって設けることができる。なお、光ファイバーの場合は、複数設置ではなく、一本の光ファイバーを一筆書きで4つのコーナーに設けることにより、4コーナーすべてを計測できる。
【0027】
上述のように、本発明の鋳型においては第1の冷却銅板1とこれを挟んで配置される第2の冷却銅板2との合わせ面12には、絶縁物が設けられ、電気的に絶縁されるが、この絶縁物は冷却銅板1および冷却銅板2のいずれか一方または双方の面に配置される。すなわち、図7は、図2に示した本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型のコーナー部の冷却銅板の合わせ面近傍の水平断面概略図であるが、図2に示す例においては、図7(a)のように、第1の冷却銅板1とこれを挟んで配置される第2の冷却銅板2の合わせ面12の双方に、絶縁物3及び4が設けられているが、この合わせ面の絶縁物は、図7(b)、(c)のように、冷却銅板1および冷却銅板2のいずれかの面に設けても良い。
【0028】
また、合わせ面に設ける絶縁物は、耐熱性を備える電気絶縁性材料であれば良いが、耐磨耗性にも優れた電気絶縁性セラミックスが好ましい。このようなセラミックスとしては、アルミナ系セラミック、ジルコニア系セラミックス等を適用できる。冷却銅板の合わせ面に絶縁物を設けるには、絶縁物、例えばアルミナや、ジルコニアなどのセラミック板を、冷却銅板の所定の部分に接着剤(セラミック系)、耐熱性無機接着剤などにより接着する方法、あるいは、絶縁物の粉末をプラズマあるいはガス溶射法にて銅板の表面に溶射して形成する方法など適宜採用することができる。
【0029】
本発明の連続鋳造鋳型における誘導電流の異常、たとえば絶縁性低下、の検知効果を確認するために、内寸法が1500mm×250mm、高さが800mmのサイズの水冷構造の鋳型を20mm厚さの銅板により構成し、その背面に50mm厚さの非磁性ステンレス鋼製のバックプレートを設けて、この鋳型の外周にコイル高さ120mmの電磁コイルを設置し、水平断面形状が図2のような鋳型とした。但し、合わせ面の絶縁は、図7(b)のように、第1の冷却銅板1の合わせ面にジルコニア系セラミックスを溶射し、厚さ0.5mm×幅20mm×高さ800mmの絶縁物3を形成したものとした。
【0030】
また、第2のバックプレート6の外面およびボルト穴の内面と締結ボルト9の頭部および軸部との接触面には、絶縁ワッシャ10および絶縁スリーブ11を設けてバックプレート同士を絶縁した。
【0031】
また、温度測定素子7として熱電対を、第2の冷却銅板のコーナー端面からの深さ10mm、外周面からの深さ10mmの位置で、且つ、電磁コイルの設置設高さ中心位置および電磁コイルの下端から上端までの間を20mmピッチで合計7箇所とし、それぞれ4つのコーナーに設けた。
【0032】
この鋳型の第1の冷却銅板と第2の冷却銅板との合わせ部の外周面で、且つ電磁コイルの高さ中心位置に対応する位置に、厚さ1mm、幅5mm、長さ5mmの鉄の板を溶接して鋳型の冷却銅板を短絡させ、鋳型の絶縁レベルを短絡なし、2面短絡、4面短絡の3水準に変化させた。
【0033】
電磁コイル8に100Hzの交流電流を通電した状態とし、コーナー各点における温度を測定すると共に、電磁コイル設置高さ中心位置に対応する位置、かつ鋳型幅、厚さの中心位置での磁場強度を測定し、各時点での磁場強度と初期状態での磁場強度との比、すなわち、相対磁場強度を調査した。鋳型の絶縁レベルとコイルの高さ中心位置に相当する点の温度および相対磁場強度との関係を図8に示す。
【0034】
図8から判るように、2面短絡、4面短絡と鋳型の絶縁レベルが低下するに従って、相対磁場強度が低下し、鋳型の冷却銅板の4コーナー×7点のモニター点の中の最高温度が上昇している。このことから、コーナー部の温度を監視することによって、絶縁性の低下、その他の理由による鋳型に流れる誘導電流の異常、すなわち磁場強度の減衰を検知することができることが判る。
【0035】
なお、本発明の鋳型において、冷却銅板を冷却する方法は、特開2000−246397号公報に開示されたような銅板とバックプレートとで水冷通路を設けるようにしても良いし、銅板内に冷却水路を設けるようにするなど、周知の方法を採用することができる。
【0036】
このように、本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型には、これを構成する冷却銅板のコーナー部で、且つ電磁コイルの設置高さに対応する位置の近傍に、温度測定素子を設けられており、これによって、鋳型の温度を測定し、その変化を検知することができる。
【0037】
すなわち、この温度変化を検知することは、鋳型の周囲に設置された通電コイルにより鋳型に誘起される誘導電流に起因する発熱の変化を検知することであり、従って、鋳型の絶縁の低下、電磁コイルの異常などを早期に検知し、鋳型内の溶融金属に付与すべき電磁力の減衰を的確に把握することができる。
【0038】
したがって、上述のような本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型を用いて、これに浸漬ノズルより溶融金属を供給すると共に、電磁コイルに通電しつつ、連続鋳造する際に、鋳型の冷却銅板のコーナー部に設けた温度測定素子による温度測定値を監視し、温度測定値が一定値を超える、あるいは温度測定値の上昇速度(温度の上昇速度)が一定値を超えるなどの変化があった場合には、溶融金属へ付加される電磁力の減衰とともに、鋳型の局部的な発熱による凝固の遅れなどの異常を想定し、適切な対策を採ることができる。温度測定値は同一測定箇所の温度データを用いることもできるし、同一コーナー部の最大温度データ、又は測定全箇所の温度データを用いることもできる。
【0039】
つまり、電磁コイルへの通電を停止、或いは電流値を下げるなどの通電制御を行うことによって、鋳型の温度上昇を抑えて凝固への影響を小さくし、鋳造を続行できるようにするか、或いは、鋳造速度を下げて凝固の進行を確保するなどの対応を採用したり、温度変化が急速且つ大きい場合は、鋳造を中断するなど鋳造条件を制御する対応を講じることも可能である。
【0040】
【実施例】
内寸法が1500mm×250mm、高さが800mmのサイズの水冷構造の鋳型を20mm厚さの銅板により構成し、その背面に50mm厚さの非磁性ステンレス鋼製のバックプレートを設けて鋳型を構成し、この鋳型の外周にコイル高さ120mmの電磁コイルを設置し、水平断面形状が図2のような鋳型とした。但し、冷却銅板の絶縁は、図7(b)に示すように、第1の冷却銅板1の合わせ面に、ジルコニア系セラミックスを溶射し、厚さ0.5mm×幅20mm×高さ800mmの絶縁物3を形成した。
【0041】
また、第2のバックプレート6の外面およびボルト穴の内面と締結ボルト9の頭部および軸部との接触面には絶縁ワッシャ10および絶縁スリーブ11を設けてバックプレ―ト同士を絶縁した。
【0042】
また、温度測定素子7として熱電対を、第2の冷却銅板のコーナー端面からの深さ10mm、外周面からの深さ10mmの位置で、且つ、電磁コイルの設置高さ中心位置に対応する位置および電磁コイルの下端から上端までに対応する間を20mmピッチで合計7箇所とし、それぞれ4つのコーナーに設けた。
【0043】
この鋳型内に、浸漬ノズルより(図示しない)S45Cの溶鋼を供給し、電磁コイル8に100Hzの交流電流を通電して鋳造を行った。
【0044】
コーナー各点における温度を測定し、各点の温度の変化を監視した。鋳造初期の各点の温度は40〜60℃であった。図9に鋳造中の異常発生点近傍の温度履歴を示す。図9の100秒位置で磁場印加したが、温度が急上昇(+50℃)したので、直ちに電流を停止して鋳造を継続し、当該チャージの溶鋼の鋳造を完了した。この鋳型により、他のチャージの溶鋼について電磁コイルに通電して鋳造を繰返したところ、合計で約100時間鋳造後に異常が発生し、全測定点中の温度測定素子の最高温度が105℃と急激に上昇したため、電磁コイルへの電流を止め、鋳造速度を2.0m/分から1.0m/分に下げて鋳造を続行し、鋳造を完了した。
【0045】
鋳造完了後、鋳型の冷却銅板を確認したところ、温度異常箇所近傍のコーナー部の鋳造方向に10mmの範囲で絶縁部が地金付着で短絡し、絶縁が不良となっていた。
【0046】
このように、コーナー部の温度を監視することによって、絶縁性の低下を事前に検知することができ、安定した鋳造をすることができることが確認された。
【0047】
【発明の効果】
本発明の連続鋳造用鋳型には、これを構成する冷却銅板のコーナー部で、且つ、その電磁コイルの設置高さに対応する位置の近傍に、複数の温度測定素子が設けられており、これによって、鋳型の温度を測定し、その変化を検知することができる。すなわち、鋳型の周囲に設置された電磁コイルにより鋳型内に誘起される誘導電流に起因する発熱の変化を検知することができる。これにより、鋳型の絶縁の低下、電磁コイルの異常などを早期に検知し、通電コイルへの電流制御、鋳造速度の調整など、適切な処置を採ることができ、鋳型の絶縁性を安定して確保し、長期にわたって良質な鋳片を得ることができる。

[Prior art]
Recently, in the continuous casting technology of molten metal, in order to stabilize the molten metal surface, smoothen the surface of continuously cast slabs, and increase the casting speed, a technology that uses electromagnetic force during casting has recently been developed. Is being developed. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-32824 discloses that, as shown in FIG. 12, an alternating current is supplied to an energizing coil 35 which is disposed so as to surround a mold 31 and is insulated with a refractory material, so that a meniscus of the molten metal 32 is formed. It is disclosed that the surface is improved by curving the portion to promote the inflow of the powder 34 and reducing the contact pressure between the mold and the slab during the initial solidification.
[0003]
In the technology using this electromagnetic force, an induced current is induced in a cooling copper plate constituting a mold by an alternating magnetic field given by an electromagnetic coil, and a magnetic field to be given to a molten metal in the mold is attenuated by its surface effect. In some cases, a mold that suppresses this and has excellent strength has been developed.
[0004]
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-246397, as shown in FIG. 11, continuous casting of a molten metal is performed by applying an electromagnetic force to a metal near a meniscus initial solidification portion of a molten metal in a continuous casting mold in a direction perpendicular to the mold wall. In the apparatus, an electromagnetic coil 35 for supplying an alternating current to the outer peripheral surface of the mold 31, a pair of first cooling copper plates 39, a back plate 41 made of nonmagnetic stainless steel combined with the copper plates, and a pair of , A plurality of divided cooling units including a back plate 42 made of non-magnetic stainless steel combined with the copper plate, and an insulator 46. Each of the first cooled copper plate and the second The second cooling copper plate has at least one groove on the surface opposite to the casting surface and is combined with the first and second cooling copper plates. By tightly sealing and fixing the surfaces of the first and second cooling copper plates having the grooves, the grooves form cooling passages 43, and the first cooling copper plate and the second cooling copper plate Are electrically insulated through an insulator 46, and the back plate combined with the first cooling copper plate and the back plate combined with the second cooling copper plate are electrically insulated from each other. And a mold that is fastened.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the mold of the continuous casting apparatus disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-246397, the loss of electromagnetic force can be reduced, and the processing accuracy and the assembly accuracy can be secured by dividing the entire length of each side of the mold as a unit. There is an advantage.
[0006]
However, in this mold, as shown in FIG. 10 which is a schematic cross-sectional view in which a corner portion of a mold in which a cooling copper plate is combined is enlarged, an insulator 46 for electrically insulating the cooling copper plate has only a mating surface 48. Molten metal penetrates into the gaps created by repeated use of the mold due to wear of the mating surface, and the splash of molten metal during casting adheres near the corner of the mold wall. In addition, it is inevitable that the insulating property is reduced near the mating surface of the cooling copper plate or the pack plate of the mold and near the corner of the mold. In such a case, an induced current flows through the cooling copper plate of the mold due to a magnetic field that has penetrated into the cooling copper plate by the electromagnetic coil arranged around the mold, and an induced magnetic field to be applied to the molten metal in the mold due to its surface effect. In addition to the attenuation, there is a problem that an increase in the heat generated by the mold also affects the formation of a solidified shell of the molten metal.
[0007]
In the continuous casting method, many proposals have heretofore been made with respect to a technique for controlling the formation of a solidified shell and controlling its influence on slab quality. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-57412 discloses that a breakout in which the molten metal in the mold flows out due to the destruction of the solidified shell is described in FIG. In the method of monitoring the temperature at each position detected by the plurality of temperature detecting means 36 embedded at different positions and predicting the restrictive breakout, each detected temperature of the temperature detecting means is sampled, and at each detection time, A breakout prediction method is disclosed in which a standard deviation of a temperature gradient is calculated, and a value obtained by multiplying the standard deviation by a predetermined coefficient α is used as a threshold for determining solidification shell fracture occurring at the time of restrictive breakout.
[0008]
Further, in relation to the slab quality, Japanese Patent No. 3093586 proposes a prediction method for predicting the occurrence of vertical cracks in a continuously cast slab at an early stage and appropriately reflecting the result in a preventive measure. This is because, as shown in FIG. 14, the mold walls appearing in the temperature detection rows 51a and 51b having a plurality of temperature detection points 50a and 50b in the casting direction of the mold installed in the width direction of the mold 31 of the continuous casting machine. In this method, an index of a casting defect is indexed using a first-order lag and a covariance value based on a time-series change in temperature, and the occurrence of the vertical crack nucleus 52 is determined based on the magnitude of the index.
[0009]
For these breakout and vertical crack detection methods, the mold is provided with a plurality of temperature detection means, but the aim is to measure the mold temperature as a reflection of the state of the solidified shell, and in each case, the temperature of the mold is measured. It is arranged around the plane corresponding to the solidification plane. When performing continuous casting while applying an electromagnetic force to a molten metal by an electromagnetic coil, a technique for solving the above-described problems, stabilizing the operation, and obtaining a high-quality slab has not been proposed.
[0010]
The present invention provides, in a continuous casting apparatus having an electromagnetic coil, a continuous casting mold that can accurately detect a decrease in the insulation of the mold even during operation, enables stable operation, and reduces the magnetic field strength. An object of the present invention is to provide a continuous casting method capable of minimizing the influence on slab quality.

[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.
[0017]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the concept of assembling the continuous casting mold of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic horizontal sectional view of the continuous casting mold of the present invention assembled in this manner. 1 and 2, a continuous casting mold of the present invention includes a first opposed cooling copper plate 1, 1 (usually on the short side of the mold) and a second opposed cooling copper plate 2, 2 (usually, the long side of the mold) forms a mold wall surface. Further, on the back surface of these cooled copper plates, that is, the surface of the cooled copper plate opposite to the side in contact with molten steel, the first cooled copper plate 1, A pair of first back plates 5,5 combined with and supporting the first cooling plate 1 and a pair of second back plates 6,6 combined with and supporting the second cooling copper plates 2,2 are provided. Can be Further, the mating surface 12 between the first cooling copper plate and the second cooling copper plate sandwiching the first cooling copper plate is electrically insulated by the insulators 3 and 4 and sandwiches the back plates 5 and 5 therebetween. The back plates 6, 6 are electrically insulated and fastened.
[0018]
The back plate is preferably made of non-magnetic stainless steel, and has a gap 13 between the back plate 5 and the back plate 6 combined therewith, and is electrically insulated by the fastening bolt 9 and fastened and fixed. You. That is, the insulating washer 10 and the insulating sleeve 11 are interposed between the head and the shaft of the fastening bolt 9 and the outer peripheral surface of the back plate 6 and the inner surface of the bolt hole, and are thereby electrically insulated. Fastened and fixed.
[0019]
An electromagnetic coil 8 for supplying a current for applying a magnetic field to the molten metal in the mold at the time of casting is provided on the outer periphery of the mold configured as described above. Note that in the present invention, an insulator refers to an electrical insulator.
[0020]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a corner portion of a cooled copper plate constituting the continuous casting mold of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of temperature measuring elements 7 are provided at one or more corners (shown by oblique lines) formed by the first cooling copper plate 1 and the cooling copper plates 2 and 2.
[0021]
FIG. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of a corner portion of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the corner of the cooling copper plate on which the temperature measuring element 7 is installed is, as shown in FIG. 4, the length of the cooling copper plate 2 on the side (usually, the long side) on which the other cooling copper plate 1 is sandwiched. A rectangular area (shown by oblique lines) on the cooling copper plate formed by intersecting the virtual lines 15a, 15b in the vertical direction and the virtual lines 14a, 14b in the length direction of the cooling copper plate 1 on the sandwiched side, Depending on the shape of the mating surface of the water-cooled copper plate, there are cases where only one of the cooled copper plates is included as shown in FIG. 4 and cases where both of the cooled copper plates are included as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d). The present invention includes both.
[0022]
Therefore, the temperature measuring element may be provided on at least one of the cooling copper plates 1 or 2 constituting the corner portion.
[0023]
As described above, this corner portion includes at least the mating surface of the first cooling copper plate and the second cooling copper plate, and is electrically insulated by the insulator. However, as shown in FIG. 10, when a short circuit occurs due to abrasion of the mating surface 48 of the cooling copper plate, adhesion of the molten metal splash to the cooling copper plate, or when an excessive induced current flows for some reason, this mating is performed. This is a place where heat generation on the surface is likely to be large and a temperature change due to a change in the induced current is likely to appear. In addition, the corner portion is less susceptible to a change in the temperature of the mold due to a change in the solidification state of the molten metal than other portions, and is suitable for more accurately detecting heat generated by the induced current. In the present invention, it is for such a reason that the temperature measuring element is provided at this corner.
[0024]
FIG. 6 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the mold of the present invention shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the temperature measuring element 7 is provided at the corner of the cooling copper plate and within a range of ± 100 mm in the height direction corresponding to the installation height of the electromagnetic coil of the cooling copper plate. This is because the generation of the induced current is strongest at the center position of the height of the electromagnetic coil and decreases as the distance from the center increases. If the installation height of the temperature measuring element 7 exceeds the range of ± 100 mm of the installation height of the coil, temperature fluctuation due to a change in the induced current is unlikely to appear, so that it is limited to the above range. In order to monitor the strength of the magnetic field, it is preferable to install the sensor at such a position that the change in the induced current can be detected with the highest sensitivity. As shown in FIG. In the height direction of the mold, within the range of the position corresponding to the installation height of the electromagnetic coil, preferably including a position corresponding to the height center position of the electromagnetic coil, at appropriate intervals, in the height direction It is preferable to provide a plurality. The electromagnetic coil is installed at the center of the height because the induced current flows most easily, and if a short circuit occurs at that location, it is preferable because the temperature rise is large. It is preferable to install a plurality in the height direction in that all short circuits near the coil are detected. It is preferable that the temperature measuring elements are provided at all corners of the mold to monitor the temperature change at the corners, but may be provided at one corner.

Alternatively, it is also preferable to use an optical fiber thermometer using a refractive index.
[0026]
These temperature measuring elements may be provided by providing holes at the corners of the cooling copper plate and within a range of ± 100 mm in a height direction corresponding to the installation height of the electromagnetic coil, and embedding the temperature measuring elements. it can. In the case of optical fibers, all four corners can be measured by providing one optical fiber at one of four corners instead of installing a plurality of optical fibers.
[0027]
As described above, in the casting mold of the present invention, an insulating material is provided on the mating surface 12 of the first cooling copper plate 1 and the second cooling copper plate 2 disposed to sandwich the first cooling copper plate 1 so as to be electrically insulated. However, this insulator is disposed on one or both surfaces of the cooling copper plate 1 and the cooling copper plate 2. That is, FIG. 7 is a schematic horizontal sectional view of the vicinity of the mating surface of the cooling copper plate at the corner of the continuous casting mold of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, but in the example shown in FIG. The insulators 3 and 4 are provided on both the mating surface 12 of the first cooling copper plate 1 and the second cooling copper plate 2 interposed therebetween, as shown in FIG. May be provided on either surface of the cooling copper plate 1 and the cooling copper plate 2 as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C.
[0028]
The insulator provided on the mating surface may be an electrically insulating material having heat resistance, but is preferably an electrically insulating ceramic having excellent wear resistance. As such ceramics, alumina-based ceramics, zirconia-based ceramics, and the like can be applied. To provide an insulator on the mating surface of the cooling copper plate, an insulator, for example, a ceramic plate such as alumina or zirconia is bonded to a predetermined portion of the cooling copper plate with an adhesive (ceramic), a heat-resistant inorganic adhesive, or the like. It can be appropriately adopted such as a method or a method of spraying and forming a powder of an insulator on the surface of a copper plate by a plasma or gas spraying method.
[0029]
In order to confirm the effect of detecting abnormal induction current, for example, a decrease in insulation, in the continuous casting mold of the present invention, a water-cooled mold having an inner size of 1500 mm × 250 mm and a height of 800 mm was replaced with a copper plate having a thickness of 20 mm. A back plate made of non-magnetic stainless steel having a thickness of 50 mm is provided on the back surface thereof, and an electromagnetic coil having a coil height of 120 mm is provided on the outer periphery of the mold. did. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, the insulation of the mating surface is performed by spraying a zirconia-based ceramic onto the mating surface of the first cooling copper plate 1 to form an insulator 3 having a thickness of 0.5 mm × a width of 20 mm × a height of 800 mm. Was formed.
[0030]
An insulating washer 10 and an insulating sleeve 11 were provided on the contact surface between the outer surface of the second back plate 6 and the inner surface of the bolt hole and the head and shaft of the fastening bolt 9 to insulate the back plates.
[0031]
Further, a thermocouple as the temperature measuring element 7 is provided at a position 10 mm deep from the corner end surface of the second cooling copper plate, 10 mm deep from the outer peripheral surface, and at the center of the installation height of the electromagnetic coil and the electromagnetic coil. The distance from the lower end to the upper end of each was set at a total of seven locations at a pitch of 20 mm, and provided at four corners.
[0032]
An iron having a thickness of 1 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a length of 5 mm was placed on the outer peripheral surface of the joining portion of the first cooling copper plate and the second cooling copper plate of the mold and at a position corresponding to the height center position of the electromagnetic coil. The plates were welded to short-circuit the cooled copper plate of the mold, and the insulation level of the mold was changed to three levels of no short-circuit, two-sided short-circuit, and four-sided short-circuit.
[0033]
A state in which an alternating current of 100 Hz is applied to the electromagnetic coil 8, the temperature at each corner is measured, and the magnetic field strength at the position corresponding to the center position of the electromagnetic coil installation height, and at the center position of the mold width and thickness is measured. The measurement was performed, and the ratio between the magnetic field strength at each time point and the magnetic field strength in the initial state, that is, the relative magnetic field strength was investigated. FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the insulation level of the mold, the temperature at the point corresponding to the center position of the coil height, and the relative magnetic field strength.
[0034]
As can be seen from FIG. 8, the relative magnetic field strength decreases as the insulation level of the two-sided short-circuit and the four-sided short-circuit and the mold decreases, and the maximum temperature among the four corners × 7 monitor points of the cooled copper plate of the mold becomes It is rising. From this, it can be seen that by monitoring the temperature of the corner portion, it is possible to detect a decrease in the insulating property and an abnormality of the induced current flowing through the mold due to other reasons, that is, a decrease in the magnetic field strength.
[0035]
In the mold of the present invention, the method of cooling the cooling copper plate may be such that a water cooling passage is provided between the copper plate and the back plate as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-246397, or the cooling inside the copper plate. Well-known methods, such as providing a waterway, can be adopted.
[0036]
As described above, the continuous casting mold of the present invention is provided with the temperature measuring element at the corner of the cooling copper plate constituting the mold and near the position corresponding to the installation height of the electromagnetic coil. Thus, the temperature of the mold can be measured and the change can be detected.
[0037]
That is, detecting this temperature change is to detect a change in heat generation due to an induced current induced in the mold by a current-carrying coil installed around the mold. It is possible to detect an abnormality of the coil or the like at an early stage and accurately grasp the attenuation of the electromagnetic force to be applied to the molten metal in the mold.
[0038]
Therefore, using the continuous casting mold of the present invention as described above, while supplying molten metal from the immersion nozzle to this, while energizing the electromagnetic coil, during continuous casting, in the corner of the cooling copper plate of the mold Monitor the temperature measurement value provided by the temperature measurement element provided, if the temperature measurement value exceeds a certain value, or if there is a change such as the rise rate of the temperature measurement value (temperature rise rate) exceeds a certain value, It is possible to take appropriate measures by assuming that the electromagnetic force applied to the molten metal is attenuated and abnormalities such as solidification delay due to local heat generation of the mold are caused. As the temperature measurement value, temperature data at the same measurement point can be used, or maximum temperature data at the same corner portion or temperature data at all measurement points can be used.
[0039]
In other words, by stopping the energization of the electromagnetic coil, or by performing energization control such as lowering the current value, the temperature rise of the mold is suppressed to reduce the effect on solidification, so that casting can be continued, or It is also possible to adopt measures such as lowering the casting speed to ensure the progress of solidification, or to control casting conditions such as interrupting casting when the temperature change is rapid and large.
[0040]
【Example】
A mold having a water-cooled structure with an inner dimension of 1500 mm x 250 mm and a height of 800 mm is made of a 20 mm thick copper plate, and a 50 mm thick nonmagnetic stainless steel back plate is provided on the back of the mold to form a mold. Then, an electromagnetic coil having a coil height of 120 mm was installed on the outer periphery of this mold, and a horizontal cross-sectional shape was obtained as shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the insulation of the cooling copper plate is performed by spraying a zirconia-based ceramic on the mating surface of the first cooling copper plate 1 so as to have a thickness of 0.5 mm × a width of 20 mm × a height of 800 mm. Object 3 was formed.
[0041]
An insulating washer 10 and an insulating sleeve 11 were provided on the contact surface between the outer surface of the second back plate 6 and the inner surface of the bolt hole and the head and shaft of the fastening bolt 9 to insulate the back plates.
[0042]
In addition, a thermocouple as the temperature measuring element 7 is placed at a position 10 mm deep from the corner end surface of the second cooling copper plate and 10 mm deep from the outer peripheral surface, and at a position corresponding to the center of the installation height of the electromagnetic coil. In addition, the interval from the lower end to the upper end of the electromagnetic coil was set to a total of seven places at a pitch of 20 mm, and provided at four corners.
[0043]
S45C molten steel (not shown) was supplied into the mold from an immersion nozzle, and an alternating current of 100 Hz was applied to the electromagnetic coil 8 to perform casting.
[0044]
The temperature at each point of the corner was measured, and the change in temperature at each point was monitored. The temperature at each point in the early stage of casting was 40 to 60 ° C. FIG. 9 shows a temperature history near an abnormal occurrence point during casting. Although a magnetic field was applied at the position of 100 seconds in FIG. 9, the temperature rose rapidly (+ 50 ° C.), so the current was immediately stopped to continue casting, and the casting of molten steel of the charge was completed. With this mold, when the molten steel of the other charge was energized to the electromagnetic coil and the casting was repeated, an abnormality occurred after casting for a total of about 100 hours, and the maximum temperature of the temperature measuring elements at all measuring points suddenly reached 105 ° C. , The current to the electromagnetic coil was stopped, the casting speed was reduced from 2.0 m / min to 1.0 m / min, casting was continued, and casting was completed.
[0045]
After the casting was completed, the cooling copper plate of the mold was confirmed. As a result, the insulating portion was short-circuited due to the adhesion of the metal in the range of 10 mm in the casting direction at the corner near the abnormal temperature, and the insulation was defective.
[0046]
As described above, by monitoring the temperature of the corner portion, it was confirmed that a decrease in the insulating property could be detected in advance, and stable casting could be performed.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
In the continuous casting mold of the present invention, a plurality of temperature measuring elements are provided at a corner portion of a cooling copper plate constituting the same, and near a position corresponding to the installation height of the electromagnetic coil. Thus, the temperature of the mold can be measured and the change can be detected. That is, it is possible to detect a change in heat generation due to an induced current induced in the mold by the electromagnetic coil provided around the mold. This allows early detection of a decrease in insulation of the mold, abnormalities in the electromagnetic coil, etc., and appropriate measures such as controlling the current to the energized coil and adjusting the casting speed, and stabilizing the insulation of the mold. As a result, high quality slabs can be obtained over a long period of time.
