Influence of Segmented Rolls on Homogeneity of Cooling in Continuous Casting

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper deals with secondary cooling in a continuous caster. In particular, it deals with cooling inhomogeneity caused by spray arrangement and segmented rolls used for leading the strand. The cooling section is placed under the mold. Segmented rolls are supported by bearings in several places across the strand. Sprayed water can flow in the gaps between rolls where the bearing pocket is located. The main question that was experimentally studied is how this geometry with segmented rolls can influence homogeneity of cooling. Two experimental approaches developed for this study were applied, and both used full-scale geometrical configuration. The first one was a cold test where water flow and water distribution were observed using a transparent board with the studied surface structures (rollers and bearing pockets) and four spraying nozzles. The second one was a cooling test using a heated steel plate with rolls and bearing pockets. Cooling homogeneity was studied based on the temperature distribution on the rear side of the sample, which was recorded using an infrared camera. Homogeneity of cooling distribution was experimentally studied for three levels of cooling intensity that are used in typical cooling sections in plants. The hot tests showed that the bearing pockets do not provide significant cooling inhomogeneity despite the fact that a large amount of water flows through the gap between the rollers (which has been observed in cold tests).
