Continuous Casting
Continuous casting, also known as billet casting, is the process of heating metal until it liquefies. The molten steel is solidified into "semi-finished" billets, billets, or slabs for subsequent rolling in finishing mills. Molten metal is cast through a mold. The casting will continue to travel down, its length increasing over time. New molten metal is continuously fed to the mold at the correct rate to keep up with the solidified casting. This process has been developed for the production of steel, especially in modern steel mills for steel and hot rolling.
The production process of continuously casting high-temperature molten steel into a slab with a certain cross-sectional shape and a certain size is called continuous casting.
The equipment required to complete this process is called continuous casting equipment. The electromechanical-hydraulic integration of casting equipment, continuous casting machine body equipment, cutting area equipment, dummy bar collection, and conveying equipment constitutes the core equipment of continuous steel casting, which is customarily called a continuous casting machine.
A general continuous casting machine consists of a molten steel carrying device (ladle, turntable), a tundish and its replacement device, a mold and its vibration device, a second cooling zone clamping roll and a cooling water system, a drawing leveler, a cutting device, Ingot device, and other components.
Continuous Casting Machine Production Process:
The high-temperature molten steel is continuously poured into one or a group of water-cooled copper molds, and the molten steel gradually solidifies along the periphery of the mold into a billet shell. The billet is pulled out, and the billet is completely solidified by water spray cooling in the secondary cooling zone and is cut to length by the cutting device according to the requirements of rolling.
This process of directly pouring high-temperature molten steel into billets is called continuous casting.
Its appearance has fundamentally changed the ingot-rolling process that has dominated for a century. Because it simplifies the production process, improves the production efficiency and metal yield, saves energy consumption, greatly reduces production cost, and has the advantage of good billet quality and other advantages.
In today's steelmaking enterprises, whether it is long-process steelmaking or short-process steelmaking, the equipment of continuous casting machines is almost inevitable.
