Specification

0001]The present invention relates to a method continuous casting apparatus and continuous casting of the multilayer slab.
 Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-213678 filed in Japan on October 30, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Background technique
[0002]Attempts surface layer and the inner layer of the chemical composition to produce a slab of a different double layered together has been performed conventionally. For example, Patent Document 1, a pool of molten metal in the mold, the two immersion nozzles having different lengths, and the insertion depth position of the discharge hole of the immersion nozzle is different from each other, different kinds of molten metal method for producing a multilayer slab while preventing mixing of the molten metal by applying a DC magnetic field is disclosed in between.
[0003]
 However, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the use of two types of molten steel chemical composition is different, were melted separately these two kinds of molten steel at the same time, it is necessary to transport the continuous casting process. Further, as an intermediate holding vessel for the molten steel, it is necessary to prepare the tundish (i.e., in order to hold the two types of molten steel separately requires two tundish). Moreover, since the injection flow rate differs significantly between the surface of molten steel and the inner layer molten steel, required amount of molten steel per 1 heat is largely different. For these reasons, it has been difficult to realize the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 in a conventional steel mill.
[0004]
 Therefore, more simply, as a method for the surface layer and the inner layer of the component composition is cast different slabs from each other, are mainly two methods are considered. One, a DC magnetic field having a uniform magnetic flux density distribution along the width direction of the mold by utilizing the electromagnetic brake which is obtained by applying the thickness direction of the mold, a predetermined element to above the DC magnetic field zone method of modifying the cast slab surface by continuously feeding wire was contained or powder for continuous casting has been studied.
[0005]
 The molten steel in the mold as those disclosed a method of adding an element with a wire or the like, for example, Patent Document 2 and the like. Given in this patent is disclosed in reference 2 method, which is formed in a mold, to form a dc magnetic field to block the molten steel in the mold to at least 200mm position below the meniscus of the molten steel, the upper part of the molten steel or the bottom of the molten steel elements with the addition of agitating the molten steel in the mold.
[0006]
 Continuous process for supplying the continuous casting powder which contains a predetermined element, or, adding an element to the molten steel by continuously feeding the reaction hardly metal powder or metal particles and powder from above the powder layer as a method, for example, the method disclosed in Patent Document 3 and the like. In this Patent Document 3 disclosed method, while continuously supplying a continuous casting powders for which contains alloying elements, the horizontal cross section of the upper molten steel in the mold by electromagnetic stirring apparatus is installed in an upper portion of the continuous casting mold forming a stirred flow of dissolving and mixing the alloying elements within. Then, in the above method, under an electromagnetic stirrer, to form a dc magnetic field zone by applying a DC magnetic field in the thickness direction of the slab, the position below the direct-current magnetic field zone, the molten steel by immersion nozzle supply to be cast. By this method, in Patent Document 3, the concentration of the alloying elements of the slab surface portion to produce a slab of high double layered than the inner layer.
[0007]
 However, there is a powder layer on top in the mold, and the mold, together with the cross-section has a rectangular shape, is cooled from ambient. Therefore, it is impossible to sufficiently agitated the molten steel in the mold, uniformity of density is difficult aim. Further, since no independent control of molten steel amount supplied upper and lower strands, molten steel mixing between the upper and lower pool inevitable, there is a problem that it is difficult to produce a separated high degree of slab.
[0008]
 As a method of modifying the cast slab surface after casting, for example, in Patent Document 4, is melted by at least one of induction heating or plasma heating of the surface layer of the slab, the additional element or an alloy thereof on the surface layer portion of the cast slab was melted adding, surface modification method of the slab is disclosed. However, in this method, although can be added alloying elements, since the volume of the molten pool is small, it is difficult to achieve uniform density. Furthermore, in this method, it is difficult to be melt cast slab entirely at a time, to be modified over the slab surface entire circumference there is a problem such that it is necessary to perform a plurality of melt modification.

[0022]
 Electromagnetic stirring device 9, which has an electromagnetic coil, are arranged along the outer surfaces of the pair of long sides walls of the mold 7. The electromagnetic stirring device 9 has the role of stirring the top of the molten steel in the mold 7. Below the electromagnetic stirring device 9, the DC magnetic field generator 8 is arranged, the DC magnetic field generator 8 applies a DC magnetic field in the thickness direction of the mold 7.
[0023]
 Controller 32, a sliding nozzle 33b provided in the first submerged nozzle 5, a sliding nozzle 33c which is provided in the second immersion nozzle 6, and the sliding nozzle 33a provided in the ladle 1 of the long nozzle 1a, hot water the surface level gauge 31 is connected to the weigher 35 provided in the ladle 1. The control method using the controller 32 will be described later.
[0024]
 Next, using a continuous casting apparatus 100, a method of manufacturing the multilayered billet is described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 9.
 When producing a multilayer slab, the first submerged nozzle 5 and the second immersion nozzle 6 of the tundish 2, and supplies the molten steel into the mold 7. At this time, as described above, discharge holes of the second immersion nozzle 6 is arranged above the DC magnetic field generating device 8, whereas the discharge hole of the first submerged nozzle 5 is disposed below the DC magnetic field generating device 8 It is. Therefore, molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 of the tundish 2 is discharged from a position higher than the molten steel 21 in the first holding chamber 11 of the tundish 2.
[0025]
 Mold 7, because it is cooled by a cooling device (not shown) or the like, the molten steel 22 supplied from the second immersion nozzle 6 into the mold 7, solidified in the mold 7, the solidification shell is formed. Then, the formed solidified shell is withdrawn downwardly at a predetermined casting speed. Solidified shell molten steel 22 is formed by solidification, the surface layer 24 of the multilayer billet having a thickness D. On the other hand, the first submerged nozzle 5, since the lower than molten steel 22, and a DC magnetic field generator 8 is supplied from the second immersion nozzle 6 for supplying the molten steel 21, the molten steel 21 in surrounded by the surface layer 24 space It will be supplied. As a result, molten steel 21 to fill the inside surrounded by the surface layer 24 a space is provided, the inner layer 25 of the multi-layer cast piece is formed. These makes it possible to have the component composition in the surface layer and the inner layer to produce a different multi-layer cast piece.
[0026]
 In the above manufacturing method, the flow rate of the molten steel 21 the meniscus 17 in the mold 7 (bath level) is supplied into the mold 7 from the first submerged nozzle 5 so as to be constant (molten steel supply amount per unit time), adjusting the flow rate of the molten steel 22 supplied from the second immersion nozzle 6 into the mold 7. Specifically, the flow rate per unit consumed time be pulled downward solidify as the surface layer 24, so that the flow rate of the molten steel 22 supplied from the second immersion nozzle 6 into the mold 7 are the same in addition, the flow rate per unit consumed time be pulled downward solidify as the inner layer 25, so that the flow rate of the molten steel 21 supplied from the first submerged nozzle 5 into the mold 7 are the same, the molten steel 21 and 22 of the flow rate adjusting respectively. That is, by the amount that is consumed as a solidified shell, the molten steel 21 from the first submerged nozzle 5 supplies the molten steel 22 from the second immersion nozzle 6. These result, in the mold 7, the interface 27 of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 is formed, the strand is divided into an upper molten steel pool 15 and a lower molten steel pool 16.
[0027]
 Here, with respect to the ratio between the flow rates and molten steel 22 of the molten steel 21, will vary with the surface layer thickness and the casting width, the condition of the slab casting, the inner layer flow rate (i.e., the flow rate of the molten steel 21), the outer layer flow rate (i.e., the flow rate of the molten steel 22) is 4 to 10 times the overwhelmingly inner layer flow rate is increased. Therefore, due to the flow of molten steel flowing out from the discharge hole of the first submerged nozzle 5 for supplying a molten steel 21 in the lower molten steel pool 16, it occurs molten steel flow behavior in the mold 7. Specifically, the discharge flow of molten steel 21 forms a lower reversing flow and the upper reversing flow collides with the solidified shell 24 to form a surface layer. Of these, the upper reversing flow is formed, the molten steel 21 in the lower molten steel pool 16 moves upward molten steel pool 15, resulting molten steel of turnover of the lower molten steel pool 16 and the upper molten steel pool 15. If turnover such molten steel occurs, since the mixing of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 is produced, the quality of the multi-layer cast piece is reduced.
[0028]
 To avoid such degradation, the DC magnetic field generator 8, and a DC magnetic field of uniform magnetic flux density across the width of the mold 7 (the direction perpendicular to the short side wall 7a of the mold 7) in the thickness direction of the mold 7 applied so as to pass through the interface 27 to form a DC magnetic field zone 14. Here, a DC magnetic field zone 14, the same range as the core height of the DC magnetic field generating device 8. This is because the DC magnetic field of uniform magnetic flux density This range is applied.
[0029]
 By forming a DC magnetic field zone 14 by the DC magnetic field generating device 8, a description will be given of the principle that it is possible to avoid mixing of the upper molten steel pool 15 and the lower molten steel pool 16.
 Figure 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining the principle of the electromagnetic braking by direct current magnetic field, (a) is a diagram showing a state of applying a DC magnetic field in a mold, (b) is produced by DC magnetic field is a diagram showing the flow of the induced current. Figure 10 (a), when the molten steel 41 medium DC magnetic field 40 produced in the mold crosses, induced current 42 flows by Fleming's right-hand rule. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), since the the mold 7 there is solidified shell 23, an electric circuit of the induced current 42 is formed through the solidified shell 23. Therefore, the molten steel 41 and the induced current 42 flowing in one direction, the braking force 43 in the opposite direction is applied to the molten steel by the interaction of the DC magnetic field 40 is applied (Fleming's left-hand rule) to the flow of molten steel 41. Thus, by the braking force 43 acting on the molten steel 41, it is possible to suppress the upper reversing flow described above, it is possible to prevent the mixing of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 in the mold.
[0030]
 Note that the magnetic flux density required for mixing suppression, shown in the following equation (1) can be defined in which the following Stewart number St ratio of inertial force and the braking force.
 = St (.sigma.B 2 L) / (pV c ) · · · Equation (1)
 where, St is able to achieve mixing inhibition of the molten steel as long as 100 or more, the molten steel electrical conductivity: σ = 650000 (S / m), molten steel density: [rho = 7200 (kg / m 3 ), the casting speed: V c = 0.0167 (m / s), representative length: L = (2W × T) / (W + T), casting width: W = 0.8 (m), casting thickness: calculating at T = 0.17 (m), the magnetic flux density B for the Purpose of mixing suppression is approximately 0.3 (T). Incidentally, not the upper limit of the magnetic flux density to be particularly limited, it is preferably larger, in the case of forming a DC magnetic field regardless of the superconducting magnet, about 1.0 (T) is the upper limit. 
[0031]
 As mentioned above, to control the supply amount of the molten steel into the mold 7, by performing the electromagnetic braking by direct current magnetic field generator 8, it is possible to suppress the mixing of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 in the mold 7 .
 Meanwhile, using one of the tundish, different molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 of the component composition in the mold 7 is supplied to the manufacture of multi-layer cast piece, in order to suppress the quality degradation multilayer slab , it is necessary to suppress the mixing of the molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 in the tundish 2.
[0032]
 As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional tundish 80 (i.e., tundish weir 4 is not provided), the molten steel injected into a tundish 80 from the ladle 1 via the long nozzle 1a is, tundish 80 flow horizontally in the inner, it flows out from the immersion nozzle 81 provided in the bottom of the tundish down. At this time, than the immersion nozzle 81, in the region 85 away from the ladle 1 of the long nozzle 1a, without causing the molten steel flow, and stagnant molten steel.
 Therefore, the continuous casting apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, during the long nozzle 1a of the ladle 1, and the second immersion nozzle 6 of the tundish 2, tundish 2 first submerged nozzle 5 is to be positioned, and placing these immersion nozzles. Further, the tundish 2, and the weir 4 is provided at a position between the first submerged nozzle 5 and the second immersion nozzle 6. By doing so, the flow of molten steel injected from the ladle 1 of the long nozzle 1a, can be a one-way toward the tundish 2 to the first submerged nozzle 5 and the second immersion nozzle 6. Also, the weir 4, it is possible to suppress the flow of molten steel from the second immersion nozzle 6 toward the first submerged nozzle 5. As a result, it is possible to prevent the molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 is moved to the first holding chamber 11.
[0033]
 Furthermore, in order to prevent the molten steel 22 of the second holding chamber 12 from flowing back into the first holding chamber 11, the area ST of the molten metal surface level 18 of the first holding chamber 11 1 (m 2 ) (viewed from above the tundish 2 in the case where the area of the molten steel 21 of the first holding chamber 11), the area ST of the molten metal surface level 18 of the second holding chamber 12 2 (m 2 in the case of a) (tundish 2 in plan view, the second holding chamber 12 the area of the molten steel 22), molten steel supply amount Q from the first holding chamber 11 into the mold 7 1 (kg / s), the molten steel supply amount from the second holding chamber 12 into the mold 7 Q 2 (kg / s) when a, so as to satisfy the equation (2) below, the molten steel supply amount Q 1 and Q 2 to control. (Q
1 / ST 1 ) <(Q 2 / ST 2 ) · · · (2)
[0034]
 Molten steel supply amount Q 1 and Q 2 when satisfies the above equation (2) is molten metal surface level 18 of the second holding chamber 12 descends faster than the melt surface level 18 in the first holding chamber 11 Therefore, molten steel is supplied from the first holding chamber 11 so as to eliminate the head difference to the second holding chamber 12. Therefore, it is possible to molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12, further to prevent the movement in the first holding chamber 11.
[0035]
 Further, in the continuous casting apparatus 100, as described above, the second holding chamber 12 of the tundish 2, by the addition device 50 turns on the wire or the like, a predetermined element molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 or adding alloy (see Figure 1). This makes it possible to the molten steel 21 and the composition of the first holding chamber 11 is different molten steel 22 is prepared in the second holding chamber 12. The amount of such a wire to be introduced into the second holding chamber 12 can be adjusted appropriately according to the amount of molten steel supplied from the first holding chamber 11 into the second holding chamber 12.
[0036]
 Therefore, the tundish 2, since the flow of molten steel from the second immersion nozzle 6 toward the first submerged nozzle 5 can be suppressed, it is possible to molten steel 21 can be inhibited moved to the first holding chamber 11. That is, to suppress the mixing of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 can be held stably the molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 in a single tundish.
 In the second holding chamber 12, for adding predetermined elements or alloys by a wire or the like, for example, a stirring force imparted by Ar bubbling or the like from the bottom 2a of the tundish 2, the molten steel in the second holding chamber 12 22 it is preferred to achieve uniform concentration.
[0037]
 Here, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, it relates opening 10 of the tundish 2, and the molten steel 21 of the first holding chamber 11 through the opening 10 and the molten steel 22 of the second holding chamber 12 is made possible distribution ing. Incidentally, in FIG. 5B (B-B sectional view of FIG. 5A), the code 26 (dot-hatched portion) of the weir 4 shows a portion which is immersed in the molten steel, reference numeral 18, tundish 2 It shows the meniscus of the molten steel of the inner (molten metal surface). That is, reference numeral 26, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the weir 4, of the weir 4 shows a partial overlapping with molten steel 21 and molten steel 22.
[0038]
 Then, the opening area ratio of the weir 4 is preferably 70% or less than 10%. Incidentally, the "open area ratio" of the weir 4, if when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the weir 4 (opening 10 as viewed from a direction for communicating the first holding chamber 11 and the second holding chamber 12 a), and the bottom surface 4a of the area (weir 4 of the opening 10, and the inner surface of the pair of long sides side wall 2c, and area) of a region surrounded by the inner surface of the bottom portion 2a, a first holding chamber of the tundish 2 the area of the molten steel 21 within 11 (i.e., a molten metal surface level 18, and the inner surface of the pair of long sides side wall 2c, and the inner surface of the bottom 2a area of a region surrounded by) means a value obtained by dividing at (%) . In other words, the "open area ratio" of the weir 4, when viewed in cross section perpendicular to the extending direction (direction perpendicular to the surface of the weir 4) of the opening 10, in the first holding chamber 11 the molten steel 21 the relative cross sectional area, which means the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the opening 10 (%).
 By the opening area ratio of the sheathing 4 is 70% or less, it is possible to further suppress the first holding chamber 11 the mixture of the molten steel in the second holding chamber 12. Therefore, the opening area ratio of the weir 4 is preferably 70% or less. On the other hand, if the open area ratio of the weir 4 is less than 10%, the pressure loss in the first holding chamber 11 the molten steel flows into the second holding chamber 12 is increased, there is a fear that the component uneven results. Therefore, the opening area ratio of the weir 4 is preferably 10% or more.
[0039]
 Further, with respect to the shape of the weir 4, as shown in FIG. 6, provided a circular through-hole in the weir 4, the through hole may be openings 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a notch is provided on the weir 4, which may be used as the opening 10. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, immediately below the weir 4, may be provided another weir 4 'at a predetermined interval. In this case, the gap between the weir 4 and weir 4 'becomes the opening 10.
[0040]
 As described above, when producing a multilayer slab, divides the strand into two vertically by the DC magnetic field zone 14 formed in the mold 7, the molten steel amount Q consumed by solidification in the respective regions 1 and Q 2 is supplied from each of the first holding chamber 11 and the second holding chamber 12 of the tundish 2 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 9). The amount of molten steel to be consumed by solidification in the mold 7 Q (kg / s), the casting speed V c (kg / s), the slab S the area of the inner layer portion of 1 (m 2 ), the surface layer portion of the cast slab an area S 2 (m 2 ), the density of the molten steel 21 [rho 1 (kg / m 3 ), the density of the molten steel 22 [rho 2 (kg / m 3 When), said molten steel quantity Q, Q 1 , and Q 2 is expressed by the following equation (3) to (5). Q =
  Q 1 Tasu Q  2 · · · formula   (3) Q
1=ρ 1S 1V c  ・・・式(4)
  Q 2=ρ 2S 2V c  ・・・式(5)
[0041]
 Then, in the continuous casting method of the multilayered billet according to the present invention, as the interface 27 of the molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 in the mold 7 is positioned in the DC magnetic field zone 14, the above molten steel quantity Q, Q 1 and, Q 2 to control. A specific control method will be described with reference to FIG.  First, as the molten steel amount Q supplied from the ladle 1 into the tundish 2 is constant, it controls the opening of the sliding nozzle 33a provided in the ladle 1 long nozzle 1a. At this time, by using a weighing device 35a measures the weight of the ladle 1 can calculate the amount of molten steel Q based on the weight variation per unit time. Incidentally, the weigher 35a, disposed directly below the tundish 2, by measuring the weight change of the tundish 2, may be calculated amount of molten steel Q.
[0042]
 By the amount of molten steel Q is constant, (molten metal surface level 18 in the tundish 2 of the molten steel) the molten steel head in the tundish 2 is held at a constant height position. In this state, the flow rate Q of the molten steel 21 to be consumed by the strand lower (lower molten steel pool 16) 1 controls the constant. Specifically, while maintaining the molten steel head in a tundish 2 to a predetermined height position, predetermined by using a table of the opening and the flow rate of the sliding nozzle 33b, constant opening of the sliding nozzle 33b by holding the molten steel amount Q 1 controls the constant. However, amount of molten steel Q 1 only controls the constant, due to lack against molten steel quantity Q supplied to the mold 7, the position of the meniscus 17 of the molten steel melt surface level (in the mold 7 in the mold 7 ) as is constant, by controlling the opening degree of the sliding nozzle 33c, the molten steel amount Q of the molten steel 22, which is component adjusting 2 controls the. As a result, molten steel quantity Q, amount of molten steel Q consumed by strands vertical 1 and Q 2 can be controlled, the interface 27 between the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 shown in FIG. 1 can be stably maintained. That is, molten steel quantity Q 1 and molten steel quantity Q 2 the position of the interface 27 defined by a balance between, can be controlled within a range of DC magnetic field zone 14.
[0043]
 Incidentally, in the above control, problems such as the relationship between the opening and the flow rate of the sliding nozzle 33b is not constant each time is considered. Therefore, by utilizing the casting start, to understand the relationship of the opening and flow characteristics of the sliding nozzle 33b, it may be corrected characteristic. During casting start, since the component adjustment of the molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 that are not, performing cast only in the molten steel 21 discharged from the first submerged nozzle 5. Also at this time, the molten steel head in the tundish 2 is constant, and to control the molten metal surface level in the mold 7 fixed, by adjusting the relationship between the opening and the flow rate of the sliding nozzle 33b, the flow rate correction It can become.
[0044]
 For the case where continuous molten steel from a ladle 1 to the tundish 2 is provided has been described above, for example, in the case of ladle exchange and casting the end, there is no supply to the tundish from a ladle, can not control the molten steel head in a tundish 2 to a constant (according to the molten steel from the tundish 2 into the mold 7 is supplied, the molten steel head is lowered in the tundish 2). However, even in conditions of varying molten steel head in the tundish 2, it is possible corresponding thing be previously obtained relation opening and flow characteristics of the sliding nozzle. That is, molten steel supply flow rate to the mold, because it is defined on the basis of the casting speed and slab size, even if the head in the tundish 2 is changed, performs control to maintain the flow rate of the molten steel 21 to be constant, further , it is sufficient to control the flow rate of the molten steel 22 as the molten metal surface level in the mold 7 is constant.
[0045]
 As described above, conditions molten steel head in the tundish 2 is not held constant (e.g., molten steel supply runs out conditions from the ladle) even, as described above, molten metal surface level 18 of the first holding chamber 11 area ST 1 (m 2 ), the area ST of the molten metal surface level 18 of the second holding chamber 12 2 (m 2 ), molten steel supply amount from the first holding chamber 11 into the mold Q 7 1 (kg / s), molten steel supply amount from the second holding chamber 12 into the mold 7 Q 2 when a (kg / s), so as to satisfy the above equation (2), molten steel supply amount Q 1 and Q 2 a according to 1 area ST of molten metal surface level 18 of the holding chamber 11 1 , the area ST of the molten metal surface level 18 of the second holding chamber 12 2 to adjust.
[0046]
 Molten steel supply amount Q 1 and Q 2 when satisfies the above equation (2) is molten metal surface level 18 of the second holding chamber 12 descends faster than the melt surface level 18 in the first holding chamber 11 Therefore, molten steel is supplied from the first holding chamber 11 so as to eliminate the head difference to the second holding chamber 12. Therefore, molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12, it can be suppressed that moves the first holding chamber 11, as a result, also in the molten steel supplied absence from the ladle, the first holding chamber 11 it can be of the molten steel 21 and suppress the mixing of the molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12.
[0047]
 Incidentally, as described above, divides the strands up and down by a DC magnetic field, amount of molten steel supplied to the upper pool than the DC magnetic field zone are decreased in comparison with the amount of molten steel supplied to the lower pool. Therefore, as a means to equalize the solidification of molten steel in the mold 7, it is preferable to dispose an electromagnetic stirrer 9 to melt surface vicinity of the mold 7. Thus, it is possible to impart a swirling flow in the horizontal section, to equalize the flow of molten steel and the solidification in the circumferential direction.
[0048]
 As described above, according to the continuous casting apparatus 100 according to this embodiment, the ladle 1 of the long nozzle 1a, the first submerged nozzle 5 of the tundish 2, and Tan order of the second immersion nozzle 6 of the dish 2 in, since the arrangement of these immersion nozzle (i.e., between the first submerged nozzle 5 and the second immersion nozzle 6, since no place ladle 1 of the long nozzle 1a), in the tundish 2, taken it is possible to generate a one-way flow of molten steel directed from long nozzle 1a of the pan 1 to the first submerged nozzle 5 and the second immersion nozzle 6 of the tundish 2. Also, the weir 4 is provided, since the partition the tundish 2 into a first holding chamber 11 and the second holding chamber 12, the molten steel in the second holding chamber 12 is moved to the first holding chamber 11 it is possible to prevent. Further, since the addition of certain elements to the molten steel in the second holding chamber 12, the second holding chamber 12, it is possible to produce a different molten of molten steel and component composition in the first holding chamber 11. Accordingly, in one tundish, the molten steel of a different chemical composition, can be maintained while suppressing their mixing. As a result, in the manufacture of multi-layer cast piece using one of the ladle and one tundish, it is possible to suppress the quality degradation.
[0049]
(Second Embodiment)
 Next, a description will be given continuous casting apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0050]
 Figure 11 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a continuous casting apparatus 200 according to this embodiment. In the first embodiment described above, the tundish 2, shows the case where the first holding chamber 11 by the weir 4 is divided into a second holding chamber 12. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 11, the tundish 202 of the continuous casting apparatus 200 according to this embodiment, the first holding chamber 211 and the second holding chamber 212, communicated with the communicating pipe 210, communication around the pipe 210, the DC magnetic field generator 240 is located.
[0051]
 DC magnetic field generating device 240, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12A, has a pair of solenoid coils 241 and 242. And these solenoid coils 241 and 242, and opposite to each other, so as to surround the communicating pipe 210 is disposed outside of the communication pipe 210.
 In the tundish 202 of the continuous casting apparatus 200, as described above, since the first holding chamber 211 and the second holding chamber 212 are communicated with each other by the communicating pipe 210, as in the case of the first embodiment, the it is possible to suppress the molten steel 21 within a holding chamber 211 and the mixing of the molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 212. Similarly to the case of the first embodiment, the opening area ratio of the communicating pipe 210 is preferably 70% or less than 10%.
[0052]
 Then, in the continuous casting apparatus 200, as described above, the solenoid coil 241 and 242 for generating a magnetic field is arranged around the communicating pipe 210 to the communication pipe 210. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12A, the solenoid coil 241 and 242, as magnetic fields, each generating face each other, the direction of the applied direction or winding current is adjusted. With such a magnetic field of opposite directions, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, in between the solenoid coils 241 and 242, the magnetic field lines 245 of the outward (or inward) is formed radially. When such magnetic force lines 245 molten steel medium traverses, when viewed in cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the communication pipe 210, the electrical circuit along the circumferential direction is formed. Then, the formation of this electric circuit, the molten steel of the communicating pipe 210 induced current 246 flows along the circumferential direction. As a result, the molten steel flowing through the refractory made of the communicating pipe 210 can be securely braked, further inhibiting the mixing of the molten steel 22 with the molten steel 21 in the first holding chamber 211 within the second holding chamber 212 be able to. Incidentally, in FIG. 12B, reference numeral 250 indicates the direction of the molten steel flowing communicating pipe 210.
[0053]
 Here, explaining the reason for placing the two solenoid coils 241 and 242 to the communicating pipe 210. Figure 13 is a view corresponding to FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a state of applying a DC magnetic field to the molten steel 41 surrounded by refractory 44. As described above, in FIG. 10, since the molten steel 41 is surrounded by a solidified shell 23, due to application of a DC magnetic field can form an electrical circuit of the induced current through the solidified shell 23, the molten steel 41 it is possible to form the induced current 42 flowing in one direction during. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the molten steel 41 may be enclosed by a refractory 44, the refractory 44 since no current flows, it is necessary to form an electrical circuit in the molten steel 41. In this case, the molten steel 41 in the vicinity of the inner surface of the refractory 44, current and reverse current flowing through the central portion of the molten steel 41, namely, a force to accelerate the flow, the braking force does not act as a result. Therefore, only by one arranged solenoid coil in refractory made of the communicating pipe 210, it is impossible to exert a braking force to the molten steel of the communicating pipe 210. Therefore, the continuous casting apparatus 200, are arranged two solenoid coils 241 and 242.
 Since a method of manufacturing a multi-layer slab using a continuous casting apparatus 200 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
[0054]
 (Third Embodiment)
 will now be described continuous casting apparatus 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
[0055]
 Figure 14 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a continuous casting apparatus 300 according to this embodiment. In the first embodiment described above, the first submerged nozzle 5 provided in the first holding chamber 11 of the tundish 2, it shows the case where the second holding chamber 12 of the tundish 2 provided with a second immersion nozzle 6. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 14, the continuous casting apparatus 300 according to this embodiment, the second submerged nozzle 6 provided in the first holding chamber 11 of the tundish 2, the second holding chamber of the tundish 2 12 in that is provided with a first immersion nozzle 5, differs from the continuous casting apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment has the.
[0056]
 That is, in the continuous casting apparatus 300 according to the present embodiment, through a second immersion nozzle 6 of the first holding chamber 11 of the tundish 2, molten steel 21 in the first holding chamber 11 is discharged into the mold 7, Tan through the first submerged nozzle 5 of the second holding chamber 12 of the dish 2, molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 is discharged into the mold 7. As a result, when performing manufacturing multilayer slab using a continuous casting apparatus 300 according to this embodiment, the surface portion of the piece cast by molten steel 21 in the first holding chamber 11 is formed, which is component adjustment , the inner layer portion of the piece cast by molten steel 22 in the second holding chamber 12 is formed. Since a method of manufacturing a multi-layer slab using a continuous casting apparatus 300 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

Defining the flow rate of the molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 from the surface layer thickness D.
  = K√ D (H / V C ) · · · (6)
[0061]
 For flow control of the molten steel 21 and molten steel 22 performs cast only in the molten steel 21 at the start of casting was confirmed the opening of sliding nozzle for supplying the required molten steel flow. Thereafter, as the molten steel head in the tundish 2 is constant, after controlling the injection amount from the ladle 1 at a constant and controlled sliding nozzle opening degree constant. Further, the molten steel 22 was controlled to molten metal surface level is constant.
[0062]
 Ladle 1 is the molten steel supplied to the tundish 2, and a low-carbon Al killed steel. That is, the molten steel 21 is a low carbon Al-killed steel. On the other hand, Tan in the second holding chamber 12 of the dish 2, 0.3 mm thick (containing Ni particles in the interior: 420 (g / m)) iron wire crimped mild steel plate addition rate 3 with a wire feeder ( It was added at m / min). That is, the molten steel 22 becomes plus the iron wire molten steel 21. Incidentally, (added at an addition rate of iron wire of the 3 (m / min)) addition of the iron wire is equivalent to the addition of 0.5% Ni to the molten steel 21.
[0063]
 To investigate the Ni concentration distribution in the multilayer slab, with respect to the surface of the density distribution, the 8mm from the surface (the center of the surface layer thickness), both short sides a central position (2 places), 1/4-width position (4 positions ), and were taken to analyze samples at ½ width position (two positions) was investigated concentration. As for the inner layer of the density distribution, for 40mm from the surface (slab 1/4 thickness), both short sides a central position (2 places), 1/4-width position (positions 4), 1/2 width position (2 an analytical sample was investigated collected concentration at the point). Note that the surface layer thickness, the site collected analytical sample, the target area from the surface to 40 mm, a sample was cut out in substantially the same position taken analytical sample, to investigate the concentration distribution in the thickness direction at EPMA, the concentration of the added element to determine the thickness is high.
[0064]
 Obtained for analysis, based on the following criteria, table lining of separation was evaluated the uniformity of surface concentration. Slab surface concentration C O (%), the billet inner concentration C I (%), ladle concentration C L (%), and concentration was added into the tundish C T surface separation calculated from (%) X O and (%), circumferential average value C of the cast slab surface layer thickness M (%), and standard deviation sigma (%) concentration uniformity Y the following expression obtained from (7) and with (8) I was determined.

[0065]
 In Example 1, conducted an experiment of changing the opening area of the tundish 2 (open area ratio of the sheathing 4) by changing the depth of the weir 4 tundish 2, surface separation X O and concentration uniformity Y investigated. Incidentally, 0.4 flux density applied to the mold 7 (T), 450 positions the braking region of the interface 27 (mm), 0.4 the stirring flow velocity by the electromagnetic stirring device 9 in the mold 7 (m / s ) and the. The results are shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B. Incidentally, FIG. 15A, the opening area ratio and the surface layer separability X O is a graph showing the relationship between, FIG. 15B is a graph showing the relationship between the opening area ratio and the concentration uniformity Y.
 As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the opening area ratio of less than 10%, since the concentration uniformity Y is lowered, it was confirmed that the density uniformity is lowered. On the other hand, if the open area ratio is 70%, since the mixing of the molten steel 21 and the molten steel 22 in the tundish 2 has occurred, the surface layer separability X O with drops, confirm that drops density uniformity Y did. In contrast, if the open area ratio is 70% or less than 10% surface layer separability X O becomes 0.9 to 1.0, the concentration uniformity Y becomes 0.1 or less, the degree of separation and uniformity I was able to both obtain a good slab.
[0066]
 
 Next, as a second embodiment, by varying the flow rate balance of the molten steel 21 and 22, changing the position of the interface 27 with respect to DC magnetic field zone 14, the position of the interface 27 with respect to DC magnetic field zone 14, surface separation X O was investigated the effect on and density uniformity Y. Incidentally, the opening area ratio of the sheathing 4 of the tundish 2 and 40 (%), and other conditions were the same as in Example 1. The results are shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B.
 In FIG. 16A and 16B, when the interface position is 300 ~ 500 (mm), the interface 27 will be located in a DC magnetic field zone 14. As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the case of controlling the position of the interface 27 to the DC magnetic field zone 14, the surface layer separability X O becomes 0.9 to 1.0, the concentration uniformity Y is 0.1 or less next, it was possible to obtain a good cast strip in isolation and uniformity both.
[0067]
 
 Next, a third embodiment, in the mold 7, by changing the stirring flow velocity by the electromagnetic stirring device 9, to investigate the surface layer of the two short sides of the thickness, the thickness of the width center portion of the surface layer, It was investigated the relationship between the stirring conditions. Open area ratio of the tundish 2, and 40% in the same manner as in Example 2. Other conditions are the same as in the first embodiment. The results are shown in Figure 17.
 As shown in FIG. 17, in the condition of not applying electromagnetic stirring, molten steel is likely to stagnate, but variation in the surface layer thickness is increased, imparting 0.3 (m / s) or more of the swirling flow in the molten metal surface near it has been found that it is possible to uniformize the circumferential distribution of the surface layer thickness by.
[0068]

 Next, as Example 4, using the continuous casting apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment was manufactured a multilayer slab width 800 (mm) × thickness 170 (mm). At this time, the inner diameter φ of the communication pipe 210 made of refractory material and 100 (mm). Changing the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated by the two solenoid coils 241 and 242 disposed around the communicating pipe 210, the change in the magnetic flux density surface layer separability X O was investigated the effect on and density uniformity Y. The other conditions are the same as in Example 1. The results are shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B.
[0069]
 As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, under the condition that no magnetic field was applied, the surface layer separability X O becomes 0.9 or more, the concentration uniformity Y has a 0.1 or less, with increasing flux density, separation and uniformity and it was confirmed that further improved.
[0070]
 
 Next, as Example 5, using a continuous casting apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment, when the molten steel head in the tundish 202 is lowered with the lapse of time, the surface layer separability X O and it was investigated concentration uniformity Y. That is, in the above first to fourth embodiments, a case of manufacturing a multilayer slab while continuously supplying molten steel into the tundish from a ladle, in Example 5, above equation (2) to verify the effect of satisfying, while continuously supplying molten steel into the tundish from a ladle and conditions for producing a multi-layer slab (i.e., molten steel head tundish certain conditions), from the ladle discontinue the supply of molten steel condition for the production of multi-layer cast piece (i.e., conditions under which the molten steel head tundish is lowered with the lapse of time) out and the surface layer separability X O were investigated and concentration uniformity Y.
[0071]
 Specifically, the capacitance between the first holding chamber 211 and the second holding chamber 212 prepares different tundish 202, molten metal surface level of the area ST of the first holding chamber 211 1 Yu, and the second holding chamber 212 the area of the surface level ST 2 were different. Then, the molten steel supply amount from the first holding chamber 211 Q 1 (kg / s) of molten metal surface level of the first holding chamber 211 area ST 1 (m 2 divided by the (Q in) 1 / ST 1 and), molten steel supply quantity Q from the first holding chamber 211 2 (kg / s) of the melt-surface level of the area ST of the second holding chamber 212 2 (m 2 divided by the) (Q 2 / ST 2) By changing the magnitude relationship between investigated the separation and uniformity. Incidentally, the magnetic flux density applied to the communicating pipe 210 in the tundish 202 is constant at 0.1 (T), the other conditions were the same as in Example 4. The results are shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B. Incidentally, FIG. 19A, as the molten steel head in a tundish 202 is constant, shows the results of the case of producing a multilayer slab while continuously supplying molten steel from a ladle 1 to the tundish 202, FIG. 19B shows the results of the case of producing a multilayer slab discontinue the supply of molten steel from the ladle 1.
