A method for semi-continuous casting of a strand of steel in a strand casting machine and a strand casting machine that carries out the method, the method includes pouring liquid steel into a mold while closing off the mold by a bar to form a fully solidified strand start area followed by a partially solidified strand; extracting the partially solidified strand from the mold; supporting and guiding the partially solidified strand in the strand guide; at the end of the casting, ending the pouring of liquid steel into the mold and forming a strand end; extracting the strand end from the mold; ending the extraction of the strand end; ending the secondary cooling; providing controlled or regulated cooling of the partially solidified strand until full solidification of the strand; and discharging the strand from the strand casting machine.

Semi-continuous casting of a steel strip

A cooled strand guide roller () mounted at more than one location for guiding a metal strand (S) in a continuous casting machine, and a method for cooling a strand guide roller () mounted at more than one location. An internally cooled strand guide roller () is mounted at more than one location. The height of the strand guide roller () is intended to be adjustable easily and quickly. The strand guide roller () has a collecting bar () for supplying the strand guide roller () with cooling water. The collecting bar () includes a plurality of brackets (). Between two successive brackets (), there is at least one coolant pipe () for fluidically connecting the brackets (). An outer bracket () has at least one first connection () for internal cooling of the cooled strand guide roller () and at least one second connection () for cooling the bearing blocks (). The first connection () is fluidically connected to the ducts () of the individual rollers () and the second connection () is fluidically connected to the bearing blocks () via the brackets ().

Cooled strand guide roller mounted at more than one location

A roll () for supporting and conveying hot material, including a roll element that has a roll jacket () made of a basic material and a wear coat which is applied to the basic material by means of a surface welding process () using a welding additive which surrounds the surface of the roll jacket. In order to increase the service life of the wear coat, improve the resistance to wear, and reduce the cost for producing the welded-on surface. The basic material of the roll jacket () is steel and contains up to 0.45 percent of C. The welded-on surface () is designed as a single-layer weld, and the wear coat contains 12.5 to 14.0 percent of Cr at least in an external zone that surrounds the surface of the roll jacket. Also disclosed are a method for producing the roll (), a method for repairing a used roll (), a welding additive and a welding rod for producing the welded-on surface.

Process for producing a roll for supporting and conveying hot material, process for repairing a worn roll

A device for interchangeable connection of a casting tube to a spout of a melt vessel with a sliding closure fastened on a melt vessel. The closure is formed by at least one stationary closure plate and a closure plate that can be displaced relative thereto, wherein the displaceable closure plate is coupled to a sliding drive system and carries the casting tube. To improve the changeover process of a casting tube and to make it safer, the displaceable closure plate carries a connecting ring for the centered accommodation of the casting tube and the displaceable closure plate carries a changing device for the casting tube. The changing device is synchronously displaceable with the displaceable plate. A tensioning device presses the casting tube onto the displaceable closure plate.

Apparatus for the interchangeable connection of a casting tube to a spout of a melt vessel

In the case of a strand guiding roller with at least one roller shell and with at least two supporting shafts, two supporting shafts being respectively connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a roller shell and each supporting shaft being rotatably supported in a supporting bearing, to achieve a type of construction that is simple and can withstand the high thermal and mechanical loading that occurs, it is proposed that the roller shell is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the supporting shafts carrying it on both sides by shrink-fit connections or by press-fit connections.

Strand guiding roller

An internally cooled strand-guiding roll for a continuous casting installation, having a central rotatable shaft and at least one roll shell supported fixed against rotation on the shaft. To make the strand-guiding roll better able to withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses, to ensure that it is suitable for large strand widths and to enable maintenance work to be carried out, the roll shell has coolant passages passing through it, and the coolant passages are arranged in the roll shell at a constant distance from the cylindrical roll shell outer surface of the roll shell and preferably at the area between the shaft and the roll shell. It is preferable for at least one water guide ring to be arranged between the roll shell and the central shaft.

Internally cooled billet guiding roller

In a continuous-casting apparatus with a mold-supporting device ( ) and a mold ( ) mounted to oscillate relative to the supporting device, the mold ( ) is supported via guide elements ( ) extending approximately transversely to the direction of oscillation arranged approximately parallel to one another and, relative to the direction of oscillation (III), at a distance ( ) one above the other. At least one first guide element ( ) extends from the mold-supporting device ( ) towards the mold ( ) in a first direction (I) and at least one second guide element ( ) extends from the mold-supporting device ( ) towards the mold (I) in a direction (II) opposite to the first direction (I).
