This invention provides a
system and method for controlling the surface quality of bearing steel produced from small-section cast billets, belonging to the field of iron and steel
smelting technology. It includes spray nozzles, an
infrared temperature measuring device, and a control module. The control module is used to predict the billet shell thickness distribution and surface thermal
stress distribution in real
time based on the real-time surface temperature of the corner and center regions of the billet, combined with the real-time
casting speed and the real-time superheat of the
molten steel, using a solidification thermal stress
coupling model. Based on the billet shell thickness distribution and the surface thermal
stress distribution, and again combined with the real-time
casting speed and the real-time superheat of the
molten steel, it predicts in real time the target cooling water
deflection angle and target cooling
water flow rate of the corresponding spray nozzles in the corner and center regions of the billet. The
system controls the spray nozzles to adjust the opening of the flow regulating valves and the mechanical
deflection angle in real time according to the predicted target cooling water
deflection angle and target cooling
water flow rate, thereby spraying cooling water onto the billet. This invention achieves precise control of the cooling intensity and cooling range of the cast billet.
