Description

Method for improving center quality of large-section rectangular continuous casting billet
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for improving the center quality of a large-section rectangular continuous casting billet.
Background
As the most common important material applied in daily production and life of people, the quality and performance requirements of steel change along with the continuous development of society. Because key quality indexes such as homogeneity, cleanliness and compactness of the steel material have important influence on the mechanical property of the product, the product performance requirement of the steel material is continuously improved. In order to meet the performance requirements of the steel materials for continuous development and practically promote the upgrading of the production technology of the steel products, a great deal of technical research is started by the majority of researchers to promote the quality improvement of the steel products. For example, in the aspect of controlling the non-metallic inclusions, students gradually develop towards the aspect of refining and utilizing the non-metallic inclusions besides researching to reduce the inclusion grade and improve the quality control level of natural components which can never be completely removed from steel products, and the fine and dispersed non-metallic inclusions can provide an important nucleation core for refining grains, so that the improvement of the product performance is realized; further, for homogenization control of steel products, the study of center segregation (the most serious solute enrichment) of the conventional slab for repairing the defects has been progressing toward full-face homogenization, and the study of the scale has been progressing from macro-homogeneity to semi-macro-homogeneity and micro-homogeneity.
With the continuous upgrading of the continuous casting equipment process technology, the potential played by the continuous casting high-efficiency effect is continuously released, and the large-section continuous casting production plays an important role in the process. For example, steel rails, which are important components for railway transportation infrastructure, are continuously reduced in the number density of railway line welded joints and continuously developed to be long in length in order to meet the requirement of high speed railway transportation; in order to meet the heavy-load freight transportation requirement, the section of a heavy-load line steel rail is increased, and the method is of great importance in breaking through the core technical problem of large-section continuous casting production under the specific equipment process technical environment condition. The difference of local solidification rates of the sections is increased after the sections of the casting blanks are increased, the homogeneity control difficulty is increased, and particularly, the central macro and semi-macro segregation is aggravated, so that the application performance and the tissue regulation of products are seriously influenced. For example, the segregation of carbon and manganese in the center of a high-carbon steel casting blank can generate carbide and martensite precipitation; the center segregation may cause the rail to break in an "S" shape, etc. And for another important component of power transmission, namely a gear, the increase of the section of the gear steel continuous casting billet can improve the rolling compression ratio and promote the refinement and the promotion of the grain structure, but the increase of the section of the casting billet can increase the control difficulty of the homogeneity of the casting billet, influence the regulation and control of the section structure uniformity, even influence the stability of the effect of a heat treatment process and the like.
The casting blank quality control is always an important research field of ferrous metallurgy, the quality improvement control of the interior of a bloom casting blank is a more important and more challenging research item, and a great deal of research on the quality improvement control of the bloom casting blank is carried out by the majority of metallurgy science and technology workers, but the invention does not relate to the method for improving the central quality of the large-section rectangular continuous casting blank.

By adopting the process, the composition of a casting blank solidification structure is improved and controlled, the crystal grain form of an isometric crystal area is changed, the uniformity of the solidification structure and components is improved obviously, and then the center porosity can be reduced by only needing small reduction amount by matching with a reasonable solidification tail end reduction technology, so that the compactness of the casting blank is improved obviously, and the cooperative improvement of the homogeneity and the compactness of the casting blank is realized under the most economical and practical condition. However, the method for improving the center quality of the large-section rectangular continuous casting billet is not related to the invention.

The method can reduce the defects of center segregation, center porosity, center shrinkage cavity and the like of the high-carbon steel continuous casting billet, and effectively improve the internal quality of the continuous casting billet. However, the method for improving the center quality of the large-section rectangular continuous casting billet is not related to the invention.

Continuous casting, i.e. continuous casting of steel, is a process in which molten steel releases sensible heat and latent heat and gradually solidifies into a shaped cast slab in a continuous state. Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a continuous casting plant 100 for continuous casting. As shown in fig. 1, the continuous casting apparatus 100 may include a ladle 105, a tundish 110, and a mold 120. In addition, the continuous casting apparatus 100 includes a secondary cooling zone 125 and a withdrawal and straightening zone 130. Molten steel from ladle 105 enters tundish 110 and then enters crystallizer 120. The molten steel entering the mold 120 is solidified in the mold to form a cast slab having a slab shell and a liquid core. And then the casting blank with the liquid core enters a secondary cooling area 125 to be continuously cooled, the blank shell uniformly and stably grows, the liquid core is gradually solidified towards the center, and finally the casting blank is completely solidified. Particularly for large-section running casting blanks, the higher central quality of the casting blank lays an important basic condition for improving the quality of the base metal of the product, and meanwhile, positive conditions are provided for fine regulation and control of the structure in the application process of the product. Based on the above, the inventor of the invention aims to improve the center quality of the large-section rectangular continuous casting billet.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method for improving the center quality of a large-section rectangular continuous casting slab, as shown in fig. 2, comprising:
s1, setting a first area aiming at the wide surface of a casting blank;
s2, setting a second area aiming at the narrow surface of the casting blank, wherein the first area and the second area respectively comprise at least one subarea;
and S3, configuring different water distribution schemes for each subarea (so as to implement forced cooling with the cooperation of wide and narrow surfaces).
In addition, the method of the present invention further comprises:
s4, placing an induction heating device at a fifth distance before the withdrawal and straightening area, i.e., the present invention may also include an electromagnetic rewarming technique before withdrawal and straightening, as described elsewhere in the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first region and the second region may be set with the mold liquid level as a reference. Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of crystallizer liquid level 121, and the first and second zones may be located in secondary cooling zone 125. To optimize billet center mass, the area of broad and narrow face coverage in the secondary cooling zone 125 may be differentiated. For example, a first zone may start at a first distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121 to end at a second distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121, and a second zone may start at the first distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121 to end at a third distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121. The first distance can be 800-1000 mm, the second distance can be 6000-8000 mm, and the third distance can be 10000-12000 mm. In one embodiment, the first distance is 900mm, the second distance is 7500mm, and the third distance is 11000 mm.
The first zone and the second zone may each comprise a first partition, a second partition, a third partition and a fourth partition, and the second zone further comprises a fifth partition, and different water distribution schemes may be configured for the first to fourth partitions of the first zone and the first to fifth partitions of the second zone. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first zone and the second zone may divide the first zone to the fourth zone from a zone at a first distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121 to a second distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121, and the second zone may divide the fifth zone from a zone at a second distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121 to a fifth distance from the crystallizer liquid level 121. In one embodiment, the first zone and the second zone may be divided into a first sub-zone to a fourth sub-zone from a zone which is 900mm away from the liquid level of the crystallizer to a zone which is 7500mm away from the liquid level of the crystallizer, and the second zone is divided into a fifth sub-zone from a zone which is 7500mm away from the liquid level of the crystallizer to a zone which is 10000mm away from the liquid level of the crystallizer.
In the embodiment of the invention, for the total water amount of the first area and the second area, the water distribution scheme of the first area can be 14% -16% of water distribution, the water distribution scheme of the second area of the first area can be 12% -14% of water distribution, the water distribution scheme of the third area of the first area can be 11% -13% of water distribution, and the water distribution scheme of the fourth area of the first area can be 5% -7% of water distribution; the water distribution scheme of the first subarea of the second area can be 14-16% of water distribution, the water distribution scheme of the second subarea of the second area can be 9-11% of water distribution, the water distribution scheme of the third subarea of the second area can be 9-11% of water distribution, the water distribution scheme of the fourth subarea of the second area can be 8-11% of water distribution, and the water distribution scheme of the fifth subarea of the second area can be 8-10% of water distribution; the specific water amount may be 0.28 to 0.64L/kg of steel, preferably 0.28 to 0.42L/kg of steel. Because the wide and narrow surfaces of the casting blank have heat transfer characteristic difference, the areas corresponding to the wide and narrow surfaces are partitioned, and the quality of the center of the casting blank can be improved by utilizing the heat transfer characteristic difference of the wide and narrow surfaces. For example, after the first to fourth partitions of the first and second regions are cooled, the temperature of the cast slab is considerably lower than that of the cast slab immediately after entering the secondary cooling zone, and the amount of cooling water required at this time is low.
In addition, according to the embodiment of the invention, the forced cooling is also prepared through low superheat degree casting to promote the molten steel to be rapidly cooled, crystallized and solidified so as to effectively inhibit solute elements from being macroscopically diffused, migrated and gathered at the center of the casting blank. In one embodiment, the superheat degree of molten steel in the casting process of low-superheat-degree casting can be controlled to be 10-30 ℃. Furthermore, continuous casting electromagnetic stirring is adopted to interfere dendritic crystal growth, and center segregation control is improved; the length of the liquid core is shortened through rapid cooling solidification, the macroscopic morphology of the liquid core molten pool is changed, and feeding is improved; more importantly, induction heating is carried out after solidification is finished, so that the temperature of a casting blank is ensured to be in a plastic temperature range during withdrawal and straightening, as described in other parts of the invention.
In addition to the differentiated secondary cooling zone width and width coverage, the center quality of the cast slab can be improved by combining the electromagnetic stirring process and solidification end reduction, as described in detail below.
The method further comprises the step of arranging a second cold electromagnetic stirrer at a fourth distance from the liquid level 121 of the crystallizer, wherein the fourth distance can be 5000-6000 mm. The two-cooling electromagnetic stirrer can be combined with a crystallizer electromagnetic stirrer arranged in a crystallizer, thereby improving the solidification process and obtaining good casting blank quality. Through the combined mode, the electromagnetic stirring control is carried out on the crystallizer section with electromagnetic interference, a circumferential rotating flow field is formed in the crystallizer, the scouring of the molten steel flow of the submerged nozzle on the solidified shell is weakened, and the uniformity of the shell is improved; and the secondary cooling section adopts secondary cooling electromagnetic stirring to scour and melt dendritic crystal structures, so that the molten steel nucleation and crystallization in the central area are promoted to be rapidly solidified. In one embodiment, the current intensity of the electromagnetic stirrer of the crystallizer can be 50-200A, and the current frequency can be 2.4 Hz; the current intensity of the secondary cooling electromagnetic stirrer can be 200-400A, and the current frequency can be 6.0-7.0 Hz.
The method further comprises the step of arranging induction heating equipment at a fifth distance in front of the withdrawal and straightening area 130 according to the specific condition of the temperature evolution distribution of the casting blank, wherein the fifth distance is an area of 500-3500 mm. The induction heating equipment is arranged to supply heat to the casting blank, and the temperature of the casting blank is increased to a plastic temperature area for straightening and withdrawal, so that cracks in the straightening and withdrawal process are avoided.
The method of the present invention further comprises setting a position at which the solidus line of the solidified shell reaches the center as a reference point; and carrying out tail end pressing on one or more groups of rollers before and after the reference point. Wherein the pressing down of the end of the solidification section of one or more groups of rollers in front of and behind the reference point comprises: and performing tail end pressing of the solidification section on the three groups of rollers before the reference point and the two groups of rollers after the reference point, wherein the pressing amount of each roller is 10-15%, 15-20%, 25-30% and 15-30% in sequence along the blank drawing direction.
After the molten steel passes through the crystallizer to form a blank shell, the blank shell still comprises a liquid core, and after passing through the secondary cooling area, the liquid core is gradually solidified from the periphery to the center. The position where solidification reaches the center of the cast slab may be set as a reference point, and one or more sets of rollers before and after the reference point are subjected to end reduction of the solidified section. The subsequent steps of the continuous casting process may be performed later, for example, in one embodiment, the casting superheat degree may be 20 to 30 ℃ and the continuous casting drawing speed may be 0.40 to 0.72 m/min.
The method is particularly suitable for producing high-quality casting blanks with the section sizes of 280mm multiplied by 380mm, 320mm multiplied by 410mm and 360mm multiplied by 450mm, and can effectively optimize the center quality of rectangular continuous casting blanks with the sections of 280mm multiplied by 380mm, 320mm multiplied by 410mm and 360mm multiplied by 450 mm. It should be understood, however, that the above cross-sectional dimensions are merely exemplary and that the method of the present invention is equally applicable to producing billets of other cross-sectional dimensions.
The method, the use and the technical effects thereof of the present invention are further illustrated by the following examples.
