After the molten steel in the ladle is refined by argon blowing through porous bricks, it will be continuously cast. The role of continuous casting is to continuously cast the refined molten steel to produce steel products: qualified steel ingots or billets. The molten steel produced from the converter is transferred to the ladle, and after being refined by argon blowing through porous bricks, it will be cast into billets of the corresponding shape according to the steel plant's production process and requirements. The main equipment of the continuous casting section includes a turntable, intermediate vessel, crystallizer, cooling nozzle, flame cutter, etc.
After the steel in the ladle is refined by continuous argon blowing through the porous bricks, it is sent to continuous casting. The purpose of continuous casting is to continuously cast the refined steel to produce steel products: qualified ingots or billets.
The steel water received from the converter is refined by argon blowing through porous bricks, and then cast into billets of corresponding shapes according to the production process and requirements of the steel plant. The main equipment of the continuous casting section includes a turntable, intermediate vessel, crystallizer, cooling nozzle, flame cutter, etc.
The quality of ingots or billets is largely related to whether the continuous casting process is smooth. The steps of continuous casting are as follows: After refining, the argon-blown porous brick ladle is transported to the turntable. After the turntable rotates to the pouring position, the steel is poured into the intermediate vessel, and then the steel is distributed to each crystallizer through the nozzle. The crystallizer is one of the core equipment of the continuous casting machine, which is a forced water-cooled bottomless ingot mold that allows the steel to quickly take shape. The main function of the crystallizer vibration device is to make the crystallizer vibrate up and down, which is conducive to demolding. The straightening machine has the same function as the crystallizer vibration device. It can pull out the castings from the crystallizer, and after cooling and electromagnetic stirring, cut them into slabs of a certain length.
