The Cost

The system of automatic feeding of the slag-forming mixture into the mold of the continuous casting machine was investigated in this article. The necessity of using a slag-forming mixture in the process of steel production has been substantiated. The proofs are given that the consumption of the slag-forming mixture significantly affects the cost of the final product. The quality level of the final product depends on the uniformity and consistency of the mixture supply to the crystallizer. Therefore, the actual direction is the automation of the process of feeding the slag-forming mixture into the mold of the continuous casting machine. The description of the developed automatic installation, which implements the supply of slag-forming mixture, is presented. The necessity of using a sensorless electric drive for moving the trolley has been substantiated. A simulation model of a bogie electric drive with a vector control system based on sensorless determination of the angular speed of the engine has been developed. The description of the method for determining the angular speed of the motor based on the known values of phase voltages is given. The simulation of the developed electric drive system in the Matlab Simulink program, confirming the adequacy of the developed system. The introduction of a sensorless electric drive into the system for feeding the mixture into the mold of the continuous casting machine will increase the reliability of the entire system and reduce its weight and dimensions.

Steel Grades

Modern steel plants produce today a large portfolio of various steel grades, many for end-uses demanding high quality. In order to utilize the maximum productivity of the continuous-casting machine, it is sometimes necessary to cast steel grades with different chemical compositions in one sequence. It is important, therefore, to know the possibilities of a specific continuous-casting machine to make the Intermix connections as short as possible. Any interference with established procedures may, however, have a negative impact on the cleanliness of the cast steel. Using physical and numerical simulation tools, it was found that reducing the steel level in the tundish during the exchange of ladles makes it possible to shorten the transition zone. However, when the steel level is reduced, the flow of steel is impaired, which can have a negative effect on the cleanliness of the cast steel and, in extreme cases, may even lead to entrapment of slag in the mold. The cleanliness of cast steel was evaluated using one of the most advanced tools for automatic steel cleanliness evaluation, AZtecFeature (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK), which enables determination of the type, size, distribution, and shape, as well as the chemical composition, of individual types of non-metal inclusions.

The effects of reheating in solid-liquid region on the microstructure of electromagnetically stirred Al alloy have been investigated. The billet of Al alloy was produced at a various casting speed from 200 to 500 mm/min in a continuous casting machine with an electromagnetic stirring device. The microstructure of the billet, which was isothermally reheated in a solid-liquid region during holding for from 0.5 to 15 min, was examined. The roundness and size of primary α phase of electromagnetic stirred Al alloy was measured according to the reheating time. The roundness of primary α phase was obtained a minimum during holding for from 3 to 7 min at a holding temperature of 584°C and was deteriorated at a longer reheating time due to a dominant coalescence. Also the spheroidization of primary α phase during reheating in solid-liquid region was significantly dependent on initial microstructure of the billet.
