Continuous casting machine overview
Continuous casting is a process in which high temperature molten steel is continuously cast into a slab with a certain section shape and a certain size.The equipment needed to complete this process is called continuous casting equipment. The electromechanical and hydraulic integration of pouring equipment, continuous casting machine body equipment, cutting area equipment, inducer bar collecting and conveying equipment constitutes the core part of continuous casting equipment, which is traditionally called continuous casting machine.
Continuous casting machine composition
Continuous casting machine is a production process that directly casts molten steel into billets with a certain cross-sectional shape and specification.The continuous casting machine is mainly composed of a tundish, a mold, a pinch roll, a tension leveler, and a leveling roll. The tundish mainly stores a part of molten steel to ensure continuous casting of steel, reduce the impact force generated during crystallization after molten steel injection, stabilize the steel flow and shunting, and separate slag and non-metallic inclusions under the molten steel belt. The mold is a bottomless water-cooling device, which forces the ingot to cool rapidly and specifies the shape of the slab. The pinch rollers mainly prevent the billet from bulging due to the effect of the internal steel hydrostatic pressure, and play a guiding role in the movement of the billet. The tension leveler is to pull the billet forward. The straightening rollers are mainly used to straighten the surface of the slab.
Continuous casting machine further simplifies the production process, and can directly obtain a slab with a certain cross-sectional shape, eliminating the need for full-molding ingot casting, demoulding, soaking, and blooming. It can save metal and has a high yield. It can save energy, improve labor conditions, improve production efficiency, good quality and low production cost.
Continuous casting machine advantages
- According to the principle and advantage of continuous casting industry manufacturing, during the whole manufacturing process, the molten liquid metal is rapidly cooled by the crystallizer and the secondary cooling equipment to form the steel with compact and uniform microstructure, which improves the mechanical properties from the microstructure.It is difficult to ensure the uniform structure of the upper and lower parts of the casting in ordinary die casting.
- It is not necessary to cut off the head and tail when rolling like ordinary cast steel, which can save metal and even increase the yield of steel production to more than 99%.
- The principle of continuous casting determines that this kind of manufacturing process is simpler, which eliminates the molding and other molding preparation processes, reduces the land area occupied by the production and reduces the labor intensity.
- It is easy to implement mechanization and automation production mode in continuous casting production. Large-scale continuous casting production ensures the balance and stability of product quality, and directly connects continuous rolling production seamlessly to the end of the continuous casting production line to form a continuous casting and rolling production line.Continuous casting and rolling make steel production faster and more efficient.
