Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a condition to use powder for preventing the flow-out of molten steel from the top of a cast slab caused by CO2 at the time of drawing out after completing the casting in a continuous caster to operate under a condition, in which metallurgical length from a molten steel meniscus in a mold to fully solidified position of the cast slab is <=15 m. SOLUTION: This casting method restricts the supply of SiO2 into molten steel side from a powder fused layer by using powder having <=20% liquid phase ratio at 1200 deg.C. In this way, amount of CO2 gas generated by a reaction between C in the molten steel and SiO2 in the powder, is restricted, and simultaneously, the molten steel drawing rate can largely be secured, so that flow-out of the molten steel from the top of the cast slab can be markedly reduced.

2. Description of the Related Art In continuous casting, molten steel may flow out from a tail end of a slab (generally referred to as a slab top) at the time of drawing after completion of casting due to blowing or squeezing. Conventionally, the blowing of molten steel has been caused by steam explosion when spray water for accelerating solidification of the slab enters the molten steel at the top of the slab. In addition, when unsolidified molten steel is squeezed out by pressing the slab from the roll of the continuous casting machine, or when the slab top moves from the curved portion to the horizontal portion of the continuous casting machine, The dripping of solidified molten steel has also been attributed to the outflow of molten steel.

[0003] When the molten steel flows out of the slab top, the preparation time until the next start of casting is prolonged due to the processing of the metal remaining in the machine, and the productivity is remarkably impaired. There is a problem that equipment such as a roll of a casting machine is damaged.

To solve this problem, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 59-76652 discloses a method for preventing molten steel from flowing out by, for example, inserting an iron plate to form a solidified layer on an unsolidified surface of a slab top. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9-10899 discloses a method for preventing spray water from entering by inserting a red-hot refractory into a slab top at the end of casting and securing a predetermined distance between the upper end of a solidified shell and an unsolidified molten metal surface. It is indicated in the gazette. However, these techniques have a metaradical length of 15
m, the meta-radical length is 15 m
When casting was performed under the following conditions, the outflow of molten steel from the slab top was not completely prevented.

One of the reactions between the molten steel component at the molten steel-powder interface and the component in the molten powder is as follows.
And the reaction of SiO 2 in the powder produces CO gas.
Normally, in the case of killed steel, the amount of generated CO gas is not an amount that impairs the operation and quality, and the gas flows out of the system via powder, so that there is no problem during casting.

However, during the drawing after the casting is completed, the powder melted layer solidifies from the upper part as the temperature decreases, and the gas generated from the solidified layer deteriorates, and the gas gradually accumulates in the slab. If the gas pressure in the slab becomes high to some extent, the gas may break through the solidified or semi-solidified layer of the powder and flow out with the molten steel. This phenomenon is particularly likely to occur when the metaradical length is 15 m or less. The present inventors have newly found.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, in continuous casting, molten steel is cooled by molds 1 and 1a, and a slab consisting of a solidified layer 2 on the outer periphery and an unsolidified molten steel layer 3 on the inner side is continuously formed. The solidification is accelerated and completed by drawing and then spray cooling water. Generally, powder is used in continuous casting for the purpose of lubrication between the molds 1 and 1a and the slab, deaeration and heat insulation of the unsolidified molten steel layer 3, absorption of nonmetallic inclusions, and discharge to the outside of the system. The unmelted layer 4 and the molten powder layer 5 are formed in a mold. C, which is a molten steel component, and SiO 2, which is a molten powder component, generate CO gas by a reaction represented by the following equation.

However, as described above, during drawing after the end of casting, the powder melted layer solidifies from the upper part as the temperature decreases, and the gas generated gradually decreases in the slab as the gas release property decreases. It accumulates. The present inventors have found that when the gas pressure in the slab increases to some extent, the gas may break through the solidified layer or semi-solidified layer of the powder and flow out with the molten steel.

Thus, the use of a powder containing no SiO 2 makes it possible to prevent the reaction of the formula (1), but it is important to contain SiO 2 in order to satisfy the melting characteristics of the powder. . Therefore, it is desirable to suppress the supply of SiO 2 from the powder molten layer to the molten steel side to reduce the amount of CO gas generated by Equation 1 to such an extent that molten steel does not flow out of the slab top. That is, the powder molten layer gradually changes to a solid-liquid coexisting phase and a solid phase with a decrease in temperature, but as the liquid phase ratio of the powder at the time of drawing is lower,
The supply of SiO 2 to the molten steel side can be suppressed, which is advantageous for preventing the molten steel from flowing out of the slab top.

First, the present inventors placed powders listed in Table 1 on molten steel melted in a crucible in an experiment and allowed them to cool, and examined the amount of generated CO gas. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the smaller the liquid phase ratio of the powder at 1200 ° C., the smaller the amount of generated CO gas. In particular, the liquid phase ratio is 20
% Or less, it was found that the amount of generated CO gas was small, which was advantageous for suppressing the outflow of molten steel. Thus, the method of the present invention was completed.

Further, in the range of about 1100 to 1300 ° C., since the liquid phase ratio of the powder generally does not largely change,
The liquid phase ratio at 00 ° C. can be treated as a representative index.

At the time of drawing, the unsolidified molten steel surface goes down due to volume shrinkage accompanying solidification inside the slab.
Finally, when the solidification is completed, the solidified surface has a certain distance from the slab top (hereinafter, this distance is referred to as the amount of hot water). The shorter the meta-radical length, the shorter the unsolidified length of molten steel in the slab at the end of casting, so the smaller the volume shrinkage due to solidification during drawing. For this reason, the continuous caster having a shorter metaradical length has a smaller amount of hot water, and the molten steel is more likely to flow out when the molten steel is blown out. Especially in a continuous casting machine with a metaradical length of 15 m or less, CO
The outflow frequency of molten steel caused by the gas increases, and the effect of the present invention can be expected.

[Example] 250 mm thick and 1000 to 2000 mm wide
The frequency of molten steel flowing out from the top of the slab due to CO gas was investigated when the carbon steel slab was drawn using a continuous caster having a different metaradical length. Drawing was performed at a speed of 0.42, 0.70, 1.20, and 2.25 m / min with meta-radical lengths of 9, 15, 26, and 48 m, respectively, and the occurrence frequency of molten steel outflow with respect to the number of times of drawing was indexed. As a result, as shown in FIG.
It was clarified that the smaller the liquid phase ratio of the powder was, the smaller the powder phase ratio was.

When attention is paid to the difference in the metaradical length, the shorter the metaradical length, the higher the frequency of molten steel outflow, especially when the metaradical length is 15 m or less. It is desirable to use a powder having a liquidus ratio at 1200 ° C. of 20% or less to prevent molten steel from flowing out of the slab top during drawing.
