The way and speed of steel flux flowing into mould of continuous casting (CC) machine belong to the important parameters characterizing the steel continuous casting process. Such flux causes determined kinds of steel circulation, which together with simultaneous steel crystallization influence the creation of ingots primary structure and quality of its surface. The article presents the results of modelling research which aim was to determine the optimal location of submerged entry nozzle in square moulds (130 x 130 mm and 160 x 160 mm) of CC machine. Such a research was carried out for two different grades of steel (low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel), which feature different parameters of casting.

Abstract This paper is aimed at the investigation of the diffusion boundary layer near the cooled casting surface encountered in the horizontal continuous casting process of carbon steel. The strip casting process is a relatively new continuous casting process. This process makes it possible to produce high-quality flat steel products directly, without using hot rolling. This explains why this process is very attractive for industry. Extensive numerical simulations under equilibrium and nonequilibrium assumptions provide valuable insight into the physics of diffusion boundary layer.

According to ULCS production practice in domestic steel,in combination with laboratorial data, this paper analyzes the influence factors of ULCS carbonization. The statistical results shows that carburization of ultra-low carbon steel is affected by mold flux、continuous casting process and refractory,and some corresponding control measures are put forward.

AbstractThe surface quality of slabs is closely related with the initial solidification at very first seconds of molten steel near meniscus in mold during continuous casting. The solidification, structure, and free deformation for given steels have been investigated in droplet experiments by aid of Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. It is observed that the appearances of solidified shells for high carbon steels and some hyper-peritectic steels with high carbon content show lamellar, while that for other steels show spherical. Convex is formed along the chilling direction for most steels, besides some occasions that concave is formed for high carbon steel at times. The deformation degree decreases gradually in order of hypo-peritectic steel, ultra-low carbon steel, hyper-peritectic steel, low carbon steel, and high carbon steel, which is consistent with the solidification shrinkage in macroscope during continuous casting. Additionally, the microstructure of solidified shell of hypo-peritectic steel is bainite, while that of hyper-peritectic steel is martensite.

The effect of casting speed on slag-inclusion defects in 1050 × 200 mm ultra-low-carbon automobile steel (UAS) slabs was studied by performing nail plate experiments and by monitoring the liquid level fluctuations during the continuous casting process. The number, location, length, and proportion of slag-inclusion defects in hot-rolled coils produced at different casting speeds were analyzed. The results showed that the defects in the hot-rolled coils were mainly owing to the mold protective slag. For the continuous casting speed of 1.6 m/min, the fraction of slag-inclusion defects was the lowest (at 5.3%), and the number of slag-inclusion defects was lower than for the other casting speeds. The length of slag inclusions was under 900 mm. Furthermore, the number of slag-inclusion defects on the upper and lower surfaces was smaller than those for the other casting speeds. At different casting speeds, slag-inclusion defects mainly existed within 100 mm of the edge on both surfaces of hot-rolled coil plates. The fluctuation within the 0–1 mm range was 98.1% for the casting speed of 1.6 m/min, indicating that the flow rate of molten steel on both sides of the nozzle was relatively stable, which helps to control slag-inclusion defects in hot-rolled coils.
