Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a casting installation and a casting method using the same, and more particularly, to a casting installation that may easily produce a slab for an extremely thick steel material and enhance quality, yielding percentage, and productivity of the slab and to a casting method using the same.
  • KR 2011 0074153 A discloses a vertical casting device comprising a cooling mold, a support, a solidifying unit, a magnetic-field applying and a cooling unit.
  • KR 2010 0085748 A discloses a vertical semi-continuous caster comprising a cooling mold, supporting part, second solidification part, and a magnetic field application part.
  • an extremely thick steel material has a thickness of at least 100 mm, and internal quality such as porosity and mechanical properties such as impact and toughness of the extremely thick steel material are managed with a thickness reduction ratio (slab thickness/product thickness) limited according to an intended use.
  • a thickness reduction ratio latitude/product thickness
  • an extremely thick steel material may be produced through predetermined post-processes such as forging and rolling of an ingot or slab produced by a continuous casting process.
  • An ingot process is, for example, disclosed in KR 2008-0034951 .
  • a continuous casting process is, for example, disclosed in JP 2002-361374 .
  • the ingot is produced into an extremely thick steel material product by a forging process or is subject to an additional rolling process.
  • the extremely thick steel material requiting a high thickness reduction ratio regards the internal quality as an important factor, a slab mostly cast in an ingot is subjected to a forging operation and then produced through a rolling process.
  • producing an extremely thick steel material by using a slab cast in an ingot may correspond to the production of an extremely thick steel material having a high thickness reduction ratio and has an advantage for the production of a small-lot in consideration of a demand characteristic of the extremely thick steel material.

  • the extremely thick steel material is produced by the continuous casting process, i.e., the latter method
  • the extremely thick steel material is produced by a method of rolling a slab subject to a continuous cast.
  • the latter method is excellent in yielding process and thus superior to the ingot process in terms of production costs when compared to the ingot process, there is a problem in that a thickness of the extremely thick steel material is also limited due to a limited slab thickness when steel products requiring a high thickness reduction ratio are produced.
  • the extremely thick steel material is relatively thick compared to a normal slab, it takes a long time until the slab is completely solidified after being cast.
  • a slab for an extremely thick steel material thicker than a general slab produced by a general caster is produced by a conventional casting method in which molten steel is continuous cast and cut, solidification is completed to an inside of the slab and thus the installation of the caster becomes very long for a cutting process, which leads to enlargement of the installation, resulting in consumption of enormous initial cost in terms of production costs.

  • the second stirrer 640 due to a characteristic of the slab transferred to the solidification unit 1b, the slab forms a thicker solidified shell compared to the slab cast in the casting unit. Therefore, the second stirrer 640 uses a frequency of up to 6 Hz and operates until the casting of the slab is completed.

  • the first heater 660 is a device installed so as to be able to move forward and backward in a direct upper region of slab for heating an upper portion of the slab in an outside of the slab and configured to heat an upper portion (tail portion) of the slab transferred to the solidification unit 1b. Since the first heater 660 has similar configuration and effect as in the second heater 340, a detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
  • the above described casting installation 1 may include a transfer unit which transfers the slab from the casting unit 1a to the solidification unit 1b and/or from the solidification unit 1b to the outside of the solidification unit 1b, i.e. a post-process.

  • a device such as the pusher 400 of the casting unit 1a capable of reciprocally moving a predetermined distance may be used for the driving unit 740, and for example, when an actuator is used, the tilting unit 720 may be connected to an end of a piston so as to enable angle adjustment.
  • the device and operating method used for the transfer unit 700 are not limited thereto, and various devices and methods capable of easily transferring the slab may be used when the slab is transferred from the casting unit 1a to the solidification unit 1b or from the solidification unit 1b to a post-process.
  • a casting method includes: providing molten steel to prepare casting; casting the molten steel in a casting unit allowing a passage through which the molten steel passes to be opened or closed; and transferring a slab produced through the casting to a solidification unit.
  • molten steel after refining is completed is accommodated in a ladle 120 and then transferred to the casting unit so as to start casting.
  • the molten steel transferred to the casting unit is supplied to the tundish 140 from the ladle 120, flotation of inclusion is then performed in the tundish 140 for a period of time, and the molten steel is then poured to the mold, thereby performing the process in the casting unit 1a (S100).
  • preparation of the casting is competed in a condition in which the surface plate 220 is positioned in a mold to prevent molten steel poured to the mold 160 from being discharged to the outside (S120).
  • slab is produced (S140).
  • the third stirrer 322 is operated to stir molten steel in the mold.
  • the slab is produced in a size of a maximum thickness of 800 mm, a maximum width of 2000 mm, and cast at a casting rate of 0.3m per minute or less.
  • a reason why the slab is cast at a low casting rate of 0.3 m per minute is that suppressing occurrence of segregation to secure internal quality by casting at a slow casting rate and securing a sufficient thickness of the solidified shell during casting are required as a solidification rate of a slab for the extremely thick steel material is slow unlike a general slab.
  • the third stirrer 322 While the casting is in progress, the third stirrer 322 continually stirs molten steel in the mold and the fourth stirrer 324 continually stirs unsolidified molten steel inside the slab so that solidification proceeds by characteristic of thick slab.
  • the third and fourth stirrers 322 and 324 may refine a structure of slab by continuously stirring molten steel to enhance quality and equiaxed crystal ratio of slab.
  • the slab S1 located in the casting unit 1a is separated from the surface plate by the pusher 400 and supported by the transfer unit 700 to move to the solidification unit (S200).
  • the slab S1 may be transferred to the solidification unit 1b in a state solidification of a surface is advanced to a degree of no deformation.
  • the stirring unit 329 moving upper and lower portions in the casting and solidifying slab returns to its original position so as not to interfere with transfer of the slab S1.
  • a process of finally completing solidification of the slab S1 proceeds in the solidification unit 1b (S300). That is, since the slab S1 is solidified in the solidification unit 1b, a casting process may be performed in the casting unit 1a.
  • the first quality controller 600 provided in the solidification unit 1b descends or ascends to be disposed spaced apart from an outside of slab. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , the first and second stirrers 620 and 640 are disposed outside of the slab for stirring unsolidified molten steel inside the slab S1 to operate until solidification of the slab S1 is completed.
  • the first heater 660 indirectly heats an upper portion of the slab inside each of regions to solidifying the upper portion of slab while heat is suppressed from being released from a side of the upper portion of the slab as much as possible. This may suppress or prevent unsolidified region of an upper portion of the slab from being pre-solidified by indirectly heating a side of an upper portion of the slab to minimize a solidification shrinkage defect such as a pipe. Thus, yielding percentage of slab is enhanced to improve yielding percentage of a final slab.
  • FIGS. 3A to 3F is not limited to a number of times and may be repeated.
  • a process of the casting unit 1a is re-processed in the casting unit 1a and produces another slab S2 to be able to be repeated until obtaining required quantity while the slab S1 is transferred to the solidification unit to perform a process of the casting unit (slab solidification process).
  • the slab Se in the casting unit 1a may finish solidification in the casting unit 1a without being transferred to the solidification unit 1b. That is, the slab Se finishes solidification by using the second quality controller 300 provided in the casting unit 1a and then may be transferred to a post-process (S360).
  • the second heater 340 of the casting unit 1a indirectly heats an upper portion of the slab Se to perform a role of the first heater 660 of the solidification unit 1b.
  • the last produced slab Se may be transferred to a post-process after being transferred to the solidification unit 1b and then completing a solidification process as similarly as the previously produced slabs S1 and S2.

  • Table 1 shows the results of changes in slab thickness and yielding percentage of a finally produced slab in a variety of process conditions for producing the extremely thick steel material. [Table 1] Slab thickness (mm) Yielding percentage (%) Initial stage Middle stage Final stage Comparative Example 1 1500 300 178 52 Comparative Example 2 450 - 150 95 Example 800 300 178 89
  • the slab thickness of the initial stage indicates the thickness of the slab when an additional post-process is not performed on the slab of a completed cast.
  • the slab thickness of the middle stage indicates the thickness of the slab after a forging process beating or pressing the slab and

  • the slab is limited to have a thickness of about 150 mm when used for the extremely thick steel material.
  • the slab in Example is produced through a casting installation according to an embodiment of the present invention, thus being produced through the slab having a maximum thickness of about 800 mm and a maximum width of about 2000 mm.
