The Stability

AbstractThis paper presents research on the mould slag formed on the basis of two mould fluxes. In the conducted industrial experiments, slag was sampled in equal time intervals between adding subsequent portions of mould flux. The research focused on the an evaluation of the stability of slag parameters by assessing the change in its liquidus temperature. It was shown that a mould flux needs to be assessed individually taking into account the casting process parameters and the steel cast grade.

Mould Flux

Heat transfer of the mould flux between the mould and the strand is very complicated, especially for the high carbon steel thin slab continuous casting. In this research the orthogonal experiment has been carried out, and the results showed that: the effect for the heat flux form strong to weak is: R>Na2O>F>MgO>BaO. and in the experiment range, with the R increasing, when the R, Na2O content and the F- content are increasing, the heat flux would be decreasing; with the MgO content increasing, the crystallization temperature would getting fluctuant; with the BaO content increasing, the heat flux would getting fluctuant, when its content is around 6%, the heat flux is reach its summit.

It was taken as typical steelmaking fluorine-containing slag systems with the remelting electroslag, continuous casting mould flux and refining slag. The volatilization behaviour of each slag system was analysed by thermogravimetric (TG) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The results showed that the remelting electroslag volatilized significantly above 1300°C and the volatiles were mainly CaF 2 , MgF 2 with a small amount of SiF 4 and AlF 3 ; the continuous casting mould flux volatilization was divided into two stages, in the first stage (500°C∼800°C), CaF 2 and Na 2 O reacted to form NaF, and in the second stage (greater than 1200°C), the CaF 2 evaporation was highlighted; for CaF 2 -CaO-based refining slag, the volatilization was the most significant at the eutectic point 84% CaF 2 –16% CaO, and the volatility can be reduced by adding 5% SiO 2 . This research will be guiding significance for the composition and performance control of fluorine-containing slag and metallurgical environmental protection in the steelmaking process.

Continuously Cast

Occurrence of defects like crack on the surface of the cast products has long been recognized as a critical challenge for steelmakers in the continuous casting. Cracks on the surface can severely reduce yield and required further operations like salvage and scarfing. Depending on the severity of defect slabs can be diverted or in worst cases a slab can be rejected altogether if the defect cannot be removed by surface conditioning. Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) produces continuously cast slabs as feed material for plate mills and hot strip mill. Sometimes the slabs produced through continuous casting are faced issues intermittently due to presence surface defects like midface longitudinal cracks (LC) and transverse edge crack (EC) etc. A systematic investigation of the operating parameters of these casters e.g. monitoring of oscillation parameters, slabs and mould flux, simulation and analysis of fluid flow inside mould, steel chemistry and role of dissolve gases in steel. Based on the investigation critical parameters responsible for crack formation have been identified and key areas identified where modification need to be done. Modifications has been done in terms of mould flux addition practice, optimization of the grade chemistry, optimization of process route, optimization of casting speed, checking of strand thermal profile, mould & machine allignment etc. It was observed that the crack incidences are significantly lower after the modifications were done.
