Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of steelmaking, and in particular to a method for improving the castability of molten steel. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main purpose of continuous casting round billets with a diameter of more than φ700mm is forging and processing key components of wind power or large-scale mechanical slewing supports. High purity of steel is required, so the deoxidizing element aluminum in the steel needs to be controlled within a certain range to ensure low oxygen content in the steel. However, in order to ensure the mechanical processing performance of the steel, the sulfur content in the steel cannot be controlled too low and needs to be controlled within a certain range. Therefore, this type of steel belongs to the type that requires sulfur and aluminum element control.

[0003] For example, CN101147961A discloses a continuous casting process for producing extra-large round billets on an arc-shaped continuous casting machine with a radius of R12-14m: the molten steel from the steelmaking furnace is poured into a ladle, which is then hoisted onto the ladle turret of the arc-shaped continuous casting machine with a radius of 12-14m. The molten steel is then poured into a tundish, where the superheat of the molten steel is 10-25°C. The molten steel flows into a crystallizer and gradually condenses into a steel shell along the periphery of the crystallizer. An electromagnetic stirring device is used outside the crystallizer for stirring, and the pulling is started. The straightening machine and the crystallizer vibration device allow the round billet with the liquid center to enter the arc-shaped guide section, and 3-5 straightening machines are used for 3-5 point straightening. The 3-5 straightening machines are used to implement light reduction at the end of the solidification of the round billet, with a total reduction of 10-20mm. After the round billet is straightened and completely solidified, it is cut into fixed-length round billets and hoisted to the slow cooling pit for slow cooling for more than 24 hours. On the existing R12-14m arc continuous casting machine, it is possible to produce extra-large round billets of φ500-φ700mm.
