Description

Continuous casting method for steel and test solidification device for steel
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for continuously casting steel for preventing breakage and steel leakage (break out) of a cast piece during continuous casting, and a test solidification apparatus for steel.
Background
When continuously casting a subcollector medium carbon steel having a C content of 0.09 to 0.17 mass%, cracking tends to occur on the surface of the cast piece. Specifically, the solidification shrinkage on the molten steel side of the solidified shell caused by the δ - γ phase transition during solidification causes a portion of the solidified shell having a high cooling rate to warp convexly with respect to the surface of the mold, thereby generating irregularities on the surface of the cast piece and causing uneven growth in the solidified shell. In the concave portion of the surface of the cast piece, the heat resistance increases due to the air gap, and the thickness of the solidified shell becomes small, so that strain is generated in the solidified shell, and solidification cracking occurs in the surface of the cast piece. The solidification cracking expands during the secondary cooling of the continuous casting, and grows into longitudinal cracking and transverse cracking. If the degree of solidification cracking of the cast slab is large, there is a risk of steel leakage due to the cracking.
Therefore, the following operations are generally performed in the continuous casting process: for a steel grade of a sub-peritectic carbon region (hereinafter referred to as "fracture risk steel grade") in which solidification fracture easily occurs during primary cooling in a mold, slow cooling in the mold is achieved by using slow cooling mold flux, thereby preventing fracture of a cast piece and occurrence of steel leakage.
If continuous casting is performed using slow cooling mold flux, the thickness of the solidified shell in the mold becomes small, and therefore, there is an increased risk of breakage of the solidified shell immediately below the mold and occurrence of steel leakage. Therefore, in the case of using slow cooling mold flux, it is necessary to reduce the casting speed of continuous casting so that the thickness of the solidified shell in the mold is not reduced.
In the case of continuous casting using slow cooling mold flux unnecessarily for steel grades other than the fracture risk steel grade, it is still necessary to reduce the casting speed of continuous casting, and productivity of continuous casting is lowered. Therefore, from the viewpoint of preventing the breakage of the cast slab and the occurrence of continuous casting failure and achieving an improvement in productivity, it is important to appropriately determine whether or not the molten steel is a breakage risk steel grade, and to continuously cast only the breakage risk steel grade with the slow cooling mold flux.
It is known that the range of carbon concentration corresponding to the peritectic region on the fe—c binary system equilibrium state diagram is actually changed by the influence of other alloy components. In view of these aspects, it is important to properly determine whether the molten steel is a fracture risk steel grade, and to optimize the operating conditions of continuous casting.
As described above, when the fracture risk steel grade is continuously cast, irregularities are generated on the surface of the cast piece. As an index for evaluating the irregularities, for example, the shape of the irregularities on the surface of the cast sheet such as the depth of the vibration marks can be used. Since the mold flux is pressed into the cast slab when the mold descends and the depth thereof increases due to solidification shrinkage occurring inside the solidified shell, the depth of the vibration mark of the fracture risk steel grade increases if the continuous casting conditions are the same.
Patent document 1 discloses a method of measuring the depth of a vibration mark in an on-line manner to prevent the occurrence of a rupturable bleed-out of a cast piece. Specifically, the profile of the surface of the cast piece is continuously detected by a laser range finder provided opposite to the thickness surface of the cast piece at a position downstream of the casting mold, and when the measured recess depth is greater than a reference value, it is determined that there is a risk of occurrence of a breakage-type steel leakage of the cast piece, and the operation condition is changed.
Further, non-patent document 1 discloses a method including: the water-cooled plate was immersed in molten steel in an off-line manner to form a solidified shell on the plate, and the difference in thickness and the interval between the concave and convex portions of the solidified shell were directly measured to evaluate the non-uniformity of the solidified shell.
Further, non-patent document 2 discloses a baseA method for predicting whether a steel grade is at risk of cracking in an alloy composition. Specifically, a simulated Fe-C binary system equilibrium state diagram was calculated as a function of carbon concentration using a thermodynamic program for each steel grade. Then, based on the sub-peritectic regions in these simulated Fe-C binary system equilibrium state diagrams, the lower limit value (C a ) Upper limit value of carbon concentration (C) b ) Is formulated based on the variation of the other alloy compositions. According to whether the carbon concentration of the steel grade is C a ~C b To determine whether the molten steel is a fracture risk steel grade.

Problems to be solved by the invention
However, in the method disclosed in patent document 1, it is difficult to prevent the occurrence of the cast piece cracking by changing the kind of mold flux according to the depth of the vibration mark measured in the continuous casting, and there is a hidden danger that measures for preventing the occurrence of the cast piece cracking are not timely for the type of cracking-risk steel having serious unevenness.
In addition, in the method disclosed in non-patent document 1, the test of immersing the water-cooled plate in molten steel to form a solidified shell on the plate is complicated, and therefore, it is not suitable for evaluating the non-uniformity of the solidified shell for many types of steel.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of a continuous casting method for steel and a test solidification apparatus for steel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Test solidification device of Steel
Fig. 1 shows an outline of a test solidification apparatus 1 used in the continuous casting method of steel according to the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 1, the steel test solidification apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes: a casting mold 2 for producing a test piece by injecting molten steel S and cooling and solidifying the molten steel S, and an injection device 3 for injecting the molten steel S into the casting mold 2.
The mold 2 is a copper container having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a water cooling device (not shown) is provided on a bottom surface 21 thereof. The thickness of the casting mold 2 and the capacity of the water cooling device are designed so that the following cooling capacity can be obtained: when the molten steel S was poured into the mold 2 and cooled to solidify, the cooling rate was set to 10 at a depth of 1mm from the surface layer of the solidified shell on the bottom surface 21 side of the mold 2 cooled by the water cooling device 2 ~10 5 DEG C/min.
In the present invention, the shape of the mold 2 of the test solidification apparatus 1 is not particularly limited, and the width W and the depth D of the bottom surface 21 of the mold 2 are preferably 10mm or more, and more preferably 40mm or more and 60mm or less, respectively. This is based on the following: it is known that the size of the lower surface of the test piece produced by the test solidification apparatus 1 is the same as the size of the bottom surface 21 of the mold 2, and when the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece is measured as described later, the interval between irregularities that can be confirmed by visual observation is in the range of 10mm to 40 mm. The surface roughness of the bottom surface of the mold 2 in contact with the lower surface of the test piece is preferably less than 30 μm in terms of the arithmetic average height of the surface roughness obtained by the method prescribed by ISO25178 "three-dimensional surface texture (surface roughness)". This is due to: as described later, when the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece is evaluated using the arithmetic average height of the surface roughness obtained by the method specified in ISO25178, the shape of the bottom surface 21 of the mold 2 affects the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece.
The injection device 3 includes: from Al 2 O 3 Or a crucible 31 having a bottomed cylindrical shape made of MgO, a high-frequency induction coil 32 for heating and melting the content in the crucible 31 so as to cover the outer periphery of the crucible 31, a tilting table 33 for tilting the crucible 31 while the crucible 31 is fixed and injecting the melt in the crucible 31 into the mold 2, a plurality of thermocouples (not shown) for measuring the temperature of molten steel in the crucible 31, and a temperature display device (not shown) for converting the output voltage of each thermocouple into temperature and displaying the temperature.
Hereinafter, a method of continuously casting steel using the above-described steel solidification test apparatus 1 will be described.
< manufacturing of test cast piece >
In the present embodiment, a steel sample (molten steel) S having the same composition as the target composition of molten steel to be continuously cast is poured into a crucible 31, and the crucible 31 is fixed to a tilting table 33. Further, a high-frequency induction coil 32 is provided so as to cover the outer periphery of the crucible 31, and the steel sample S in the crucible 31 is heated and melted. At this time, the heating of the steel sample S was continued until it was confirmed by visual observation of the operator that the steel sample S was molten, and it was confirmed that the temperature of the molten steel sample S displayed by the temperature display device was in the range of 1590 to 1610 ℃. Here, instead of visual observation by an operator, the output value from the thermocouple may be input to a computer to automatically determine whether or not the temperature of the molten steel sample S has reached a temperature in the range of 1590 to 1610 ℃.
Next, the high-frequency induction coil 32 is moved away from the crucible 31, the tilting table 33 is tilted, the crucible 31 is tilted, and the molten steel in the crucible 31 is testedThe sample S is injected into the casting mold 2. Then, the water cooling device of the mold 2 was operated, and the molten steel (steel sample) S injected into the mold 2 was cooled and solidified to prepare a test piece. At this time, the operation of the water cooling device was adjusted so that the cooling rate of a depth of 1mm from the surface layer of the solidified shell became 10 2 ~10 5 DEG C/min.
The cooling rate is based on the following report in non-patent document 3: when continuously casting a fracture risk steel grade by a practical continuous casting machine, the occurrence of uneven solidification becomes remarkable at a stage where the thickness of the solidified shell exceeds 1mm, and the cooling rate at this position is 10 3 ~10 5 DEG C/min. That is, in the cooling of the molten steel (steel sample) S in the test solidification apparatus 1, the cooling rate at the position where the occurrence of the uneven solidification becomes apparent in the practical continuous casting machine was reproduced.
In addition, if the tilting speed of the tilting table 33 is set to 3 times or more the injection speed (unit: kg/S) of the steel sample S injected into the mold 2 by the tilting table 33 in cooperation with the operation of the water cooling apparatus, the solidification speed (unit: kg/S) of the molten steel S in the mold 2 is set to be 3 times or more, irregularities are likely to be generated on the solidified shell surface when the molten steel S is in the peritectic region, and it is preferable to determine whether or not the steel type is a fracture risk steel type with higher accuracy.
An example of the lower surface of the test piece thus produced by the test solidification apparatus 1 is shown in a photograph in fig. 2. Fig. 2 (a) shows an example of the case where the steel sample S is a fracture risk steel grade, and fig. 2 (b) shows an example of the case where the steel sample S is not a fracture risk steel grade. When the steel sample S was a fracture risk steel grade, it was clearly confirmed that irregularities were generated on the lower surface of the test piece.
Production of test cast piece Using molten Steel in steelmaking Process
In an actual steelmaking process, the composition of molten steel during continuous casting may deviate from a target value. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of determining whether or not the molten steel is a fracture risk steel type, a test cast piece may be produced by collecting molten steel from a ladle containing molten steel to be continuously cast by a sampler, and directly injecting the molten steel into the mold 2 of the test solidification apparatus 1 and cooling the molten steel. In this case, if the sampler for collecting molten steel from the ladle has the function of the mold 2, it is not necessary to prepare the test solidification device 1 separately.
< measurement of surface roughness >)
Next, the height of the irregularities on the lower surface of the test cast piece produced as described above was measured by a measuring device such as a laser range finder, and the surface roughness of the surface roughness was calculated using the arithmetic average height specified in ISO 25178.
The calculation conditions of the surface roughness include measurement and evaluation area, interval between measurement points, and magnitude of cut-off wavelength. In the continuous casting method of steel and the test solidification apparatus of steel according to the present invention, the measurement and evaluation area, the interval between measurement points, and the size of the cut-off wavelength are not particularly limited, and are preferably as follows.
First, for measuring the evaluation area, the center is set to the center of the lower surface of the test piece, and the longitudinal and lateral lengths thereof are preferably set to 10mm or more, more preferably 40mm or more and 60mm or less, respectively. This is based on: it is known that the interval between irregularities which can be confirmed by visual inspection is in the range of 10mm to 40 mm. The distance between measurement points is preferably 10mm or less. The wavelength of the cutoff is preferably 800 μm.
Determination of whether to be a fracture risk Steel grade
Next, when the surface roughness (arithmetic mean height of surface roughness) of the lower surface of the test piece calculated as described above was 60 μm or more, it was determined that the molten steel having the same composition as the steel sample S was a fracture risk steel grade (a steel grade in which the piece easily breaks during continuous casting).
As described above, in the fracture risk steel type, the solidification shrinkage due to the δ—γ phase transition at solidification on the molten steel side of the solidification shell causes the portion of the solidification shell having a high cooling rate to be convexly warped with respect to the mold surface, and irregularities are generated on the surface of the cast piece. Thus, the surface roughness of the test piece was an index of whether or not the molten steel having the same composition as the steel sample S was a fracture risk steel grade.
Further, as for a plurality of types of molten steel, it is possible to use the result of determining whether each molten steel is a fracture risk steel type based on whether the surface roughness of the test piece is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, and establish the carbon equivalent C as follows p Is a relation of (3).
That is, when the surface roughness of a test piece made of molten steel is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value and it is determined as a fracture risk steel grade, the carbon concentration lower limit value (C) of the peritectic region on the balance state diagram of the Fe-C binary system of each component element of the steel grade M is obtained a ) (mass%) and an upper limit value (C) of the carbon concentration b ) Influence coefficient alpha of (mass%) a,M 、α b,M . Then, regarding the various steel grades M, considering that the range of the carbon concentration of the peritectic region is changed by the influence of other alloy components, C is established as shown in the following formulas (1) and (2) a 、C b Is a relation of (3).
[ math 3]

[ mathematics 4]
Figure BDA0004113287370000092
Then, when determining whether or not the new molten steel (target steel) is a fracture risk steel grade, C is obtained from the composition of the target steel by the above formulas (1) and (2) a 、C b Based on the obtained C a 、C b And the carbon concentration C (mass%) of the target steel, the carbon equivalent C of the target steel was obtained by the following formula (3) p Instead of making this determination based on the surface roughness of the test piece (mass%).
C p =0.09+{(C-C a )/(C b -C a )}×(0.17-0.09)···(3)
At the carbon equivalent C p In the range of 0.09 to 0.17 mass%The target steel is located in the peritectic region, and can be determined as a fracture risk steel grade.
< selection of mold powder >)
Next, based on the above-described determination as to whether or not it is a fracture risk steel grade, it is selected which of the slow cooling mold flux and the strong cooling mold flux is used for continuous casting.
The slow cooling effect of the solidified shell by the mold flux can be obtained as follows: powder slag (powder slag) flowing into a gap between a casting mold and a solidified shell of a continuous casting machine is cooled and solidified on a surface of the casting mold, thereby forming a slag film, and a heat transfer resistance (heat transfer resistance) increases due to crystallization in the slag film. The composition of the covering slag is SiO as main component 2 And CaO, and Li added for adjusting the viscosity of the mold flux and the precipitation of crystals 2 O、Na 2 O、F、MgO、Al 2 O 3 Etc. A common seed crystal precipitated in the slag film is kyanite (Cuspidine: 3CaO.2SiOSiO) 2 ·CaF 2 )。
In order to suppress surface cracking of the cast slab, it is effective to achieve slow cooling of the solidified shell in the vicinity of the molten steel surface, and therefore, in order to impart an effect of suppressing longitudinal cracking to the mold flux, it is necessary to slowly cool the solidified shell by precipitating crystals instantaneously after the powder slag flows into the gap between the mold and the solidified shell.
Since it is considered that the mold flux having a high crystallization temperature and crystallizing out the gun stone as primary crystals has a function of slowly cooling the inside of the mold, such a slow cooling mold flux is used for a steel grade at risk of breakage and the casting speed is reduced, and occurrence of breakage and steel leakage can be reliably prevented, whereas productivity is maintained for a steel grade without risk of breakage by not using a slow cooling mold flux and not reducing the casting speed.
Specifically, when the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece calculated as described above is 60 μm or more, it is determined that the molten steel having the same composition as the steel sample S is a fracture risk steel grade, and continuous casting is performed using slow cooling mold flux suitable for preventing fracture. As slow cooling mold flux, in particularIn other words, a material comprising SiO may be used 2 CaO as a main component, caO relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) A slow cooling mold flux of 1.0 or more and less than 2.0, a crystallization temperature of 1100 ℃ or more, and a crystallized kyanite as primary crystal.
The reason why the constituent components of the mold flux are set as described above is as follows. In CaO relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) If the amount of the gun-shaped crystal is less than 1.0, the amount of the gun-shaped crystal precipitated in the slag film becomes insufficient, and the crystallization temperature becomes too low, so that a slow cooling function for preventing longitudinal cracking and transverse cracking cannot be imparted to the mold flux. In addition, caO is relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) When the amount is 2.0 or more, the crystallization temperature of the mold flux increases, the crystallization of the mold flux is excessively accelerated, friction between the mold and the cast piece increases, and steel leakage is likely to occur.
In addition, when the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece calculated as described above is less than 60 μm, it is determined that the molten steel having the same composition as the steel sample S is not a fracture risk steel grade (a steel grade in which the piece is less likely to fracture during continuous casting), continuous casting is performed using strong cooling mold flux suitable for increasing the casting speed of continuous casting. As the strong cooling mold flux, a mold flux containing SiO may be used 2 CaO as a main component, caO relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) Strong cooling mold flux of 0.7 or more and less than 1.0 and crystallization temperature lower than 1100 ℃.
The reason why the constituent components of the mold flux are set as described above is as follows. In CaO relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) If the amount is 1.0 or more, the amount of the gun crystal stone precipitated in the slag film increases, and the crystallization temperature becomes too high, so that the mold flux is given a slow cooling function, and the casting speed needs to be reduced. In addition, caO is relative to SiO 2 Mass ratio (CaO/SiO) 2 ) If the melting point of the mold flux is less than 0.7, the inflow amount into the mold is decreased, and there is a risk of occurrence of adhesive steel leakage (sticking breakout).
Examples
The steel grades a to d (medium carbon steel) shown in table 1 were fed and melted 1 to 2 times respectively by a converter and a vacuum degassing apparatus (secondary refining), and poured into a water-cooled mold of a vertical bending type continuous casting machine via a tundish (tunstand). Then, while strong cooling mold flux a or slow cooling mold flux B having the composition shown in table 2 was supplied to the surface of molten steel in the mold, continuous casting was performed at the casting speed shown in table 3, and cast pieces were produced.
By visually observing the surface of each cast piece obtained as a result of the above, it was confirmed whether or not surface breakage of the cast piece occurred. Specifically, the length of the crack was measured, and when a crack having a length of 10mm or more was confirmed, it was determined that the surface of the cast piece was broken.
Meanwhile, according to the continuous casting method of steel of the present invention, it was determined whether or not each of the steel grades a to d was a fracture risk steel grade based on whether or not the surface roughness of the lower surface of the test piece was 60 μm or more (inventive example). Further, by the method disclosed in the above-mentioned non-patent document 2, it was determined whether or not each of the steel grades a to d was a fracture risk steel grade (comparative example).
In the present example, molten steel was collected from a ladle containing molten steel to be continuously cast by a sampler, a test piece was produced from the molten steel, the height of irregularities on the lower surface of the test piece was measured, and the surface roughness of the surface roughness was calculated using an arithmetic average height Sa specified in ISO 25178.
In the comparative example, as disclosed in non-patent document 2, the lower limit value (C) of the carbon concentration in the peritectic region of each of the steel grades a to d was obtained by the following formulas (4) and (5) a ) (mass%) and an upper limit value (C) of the carbon concentration b ) (mass%).
C a =0.0896+0.0458×Al-0.0205×Mn-0.0077×Si+0.0223×Al 2 -0.0239×Ni+0.0106×Mo+0.0134×V-0.0032×Cr+0.00059×Cr 2 +0.0197×W···(4)
C b =0.1967+0.0036×Al-0.0316×Mn-0.0103×Si+0.14×11Al 2 +0.05×(Al×Si)-0.0401×Ni+0.03255×Mo+0.0603×V+0.0024×Cr+0.00142×Cr 2 -0.00059×(Cr×Ni)+0.0266W···(5)
Wherein Al, mn, si, ni, mo, V, cr and W in the formulas (4) and (5) are the contents (mass%) of the above elements.
Then, based on these lower limit value (Ca) (mass%) and upper limit value (C) b ) The carbon concentration C (mass%) of each of the steel grades a to d and the carbon equivalent C (mass%) were obtained by the following formula (6) p0 (mass%).
C p0 =0.17+{(C-C b )/(C b -C a )}×(0.17-0.09)···(6)
In the comparative example, at carbon equivalent C p0 When the content is within the range of 0.09 to 0.17 mass%, the steel grade is judged to be a fracture risk steel grade in the peritectic region.

The surface roughness Sa of the test cast pieces of the steel grades a and b was 60 μm or more, and in the present example, it was determined as a fracture risk steel grade. Based on this determination, it was confirmed that if continuous casting was performed using slow cooling mold flux B with casting speed Vc set to 1.6m/min, cracking of the cast slab could be suppressed. On the other hand, the carbon equivalent C of the steel grades a and b obtained by the above formula (6) p Outside the range of 0.09 to 0.17 mass%,in the comparative examples, steel grades a and b were judged as steel grades without risk of cracking. Based on this determination, it was confirmed that cracking of the cast slab occurred when continuous casting was performed using the strong cooling mold flux a with the casting speed Vc set to 2.0 m/min.
The surface roughness Sa of the test piece of each of the steel grades c and d was smaller than 60. Mu.m, and in the present example, it was determined that the steel grade was not a fracture risk steel grade. Based on this determination, in the case where continuous casting is performed using the strong cooling mold flux a and the casting speed Vc is set to 2.0m/min, breakage of the cast piece does not occur, and productivity can be improved without lowering the casting speed Vc. On the other hand, the carbon equivalent C of the steel grades C and d obtained by the above formula (6) p In the range of 0.09 to 0.17 mass%, in the comparative examples, the steel grades c and d were judged as fracture risk steel grades. If based on this determination, it is necessary to perform continuous casting using slow cooling mold flux B and setting the casting speed Vc to 1.6 m/min. However, in practice, as described above, even if continuous casting was performed using strong cooling mold flux a and casting speed Vc was set to 2.0m/min, cracking did not occur in the cast pieces, and it was confirmed that productivity was unnecessarily impaired if slow cooling mold flux B was used and casting speed Vc was reduced based on the judgment of comparative example.
