The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a large
ingot through electromagnetically-controlled self-
inoculation treatment. The method comprises the steps as follows: (1) a Y-shaped double-phase conveying
nozzle is adopted for
molten metal casting, and an electromagnetic device I is arranged on the outer side of the straight section of the double-phase conveying
nozzle; an electromagnetic device II is arranged on the outer side of an
ingot mold riser; (2) an
ingot mold and the double-phase conveying
nozzle are preheated before
casting; (3)
argon shielding is performed during
casting, an inoculant is added when the liquid level of
molten metal rises to 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the height of an inner cavity of the ingot mold, meanwhile, the electromagnetic device I is started, and the electromagnetic device II is started when the liquid level of
molten metal rises to the height of the ingot mold riser line; and both the electromagnetic device I and the electromagnetic device II run at the
low frequency; (4) after casting is completed, the electromagnetic device I is
shut down, the electromagnetic device II s adjusted to run at the
intermediate frequency from the
low frequency, and heat insulation is performed on the ingot mold riser part by the aid of the
Joule heating effect of the intermediate-frequency
magnetic field until the ingot is solidified. With the method, the solidification structure of the steel ingot can be refined, the center segregation can be reduced, the center
porosity can be reduced, and thus the inner and outer quality of the ingot can be improved.
