Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent production of medium and heavy plates driven by furnace grouping technology, and specifically relates to a data model-driven method for grouping low alloy medium and heavy plate continuous casting furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] The hot-charging and hot-feeding process for medium and heavy plates refers to a green and efficient production method in which continuously cast billets are directly fed into the heating furnace in the rolling zone after manufacturing without being cooled offline. Once heated to the target temperature, they are rolled. As an important technology for energy conservation and emission reduction in the steel industry, it has always received widespread attention. The advantages of this production method include high billet entry temperature, high heating efficiency, low furnace gas consumption, and strong production continuity. It is of great significance for improving the production efficiency of medium and heavy plates, enhancing quality assurance capabilities, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0003] Low-alloy medium and heavy plates with strength ranging from 235MPa to 420MPa are characterized by small batches, diverse specifications, and short delivery cycles. They are widely used in construction, urban bridges, wind turbine towers, boilers and pressure vessels, shipbuilding, and other fields, holding an important position among medium and heavy plate products. Over the years, most steel mills in my country have continuously improved their quality assurance capabilities for this type of product. To further improve production efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and decrease energy consumption, most medium and heavy plate production lines adopt hot-charging and hot-feeding processes, which effectively improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and shorten delivery cycles.
[0004] However, under hot charging and delivery conditions, the design of furnace grouping for the continuous casting process of low-alloy medium-thick plates still relies mainly on manual experience and offline methods. This is labor-intensive, and the design principles for continuous casting process grouping are simply determined based on a single alloying element, resulting in a very crude process. For example, the furnace grouping plan for continuous casting is determined by the decreasing or increasing content of C or Mn. The strength and toughness of the rolled product, the specifications of the rolled steel plate, and other constraints during billet assembly are not considered, leading to numerous problems such as poor continuity of the rolling process, large leaps in the rolling process, high energy consumption, low equipment utilization, low production efficiency, and unsuitable mechanical properties. Therefore, under the fast production pace, the hot charging and delivery process cannot effectively support the improvement of key technical indicators and is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale customized production of personalized medium-thick plate products. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a data model-driven method for grouping furnaces in hot-charging and hot-delivery continuous casting of low-alloy medium-thick plates.

[0063] This invention proposes a data model-driven method for grouping heats in continuous casting of low-alloy medium-thick plates. Considering key data such as order weight, smelting cost index of customized steel grades, and delivery time difference index, a characteristic value model for the heat grouping sequence in the continuous casting process is constructed. Based on these characteristic values, the heat sequence position of each customized steel grade during the casting period is determined. In the rolling process, a characteristic value model for the in-furnace billet grouping sequence is established, integrating key data elements such as the width and thickness of the rolled steel plate, strength and toughness grades, and rolling process. This model determines the sequential position of all billets in the order during the casting period, effectively avoiding large jumps in quality grade, size specifications, and rolling process parameters during the hot-charged continuous casting billet rolling process, thereby improving the continuity and stability of production.
[0064] When applied to actual production, this invention can take into account multiple highly relevant factors, such as the C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, Nb, V, and Ti elements contained in the smelted steel, order weight, smelting cost of customized steel, delivery time, product strength and toughness grades, steel plate thickness and width specifications, and rolling cycle during the rolling process. It can construct a grouping model for the hot-feeding and hot-charging continuous casting process of low-alloy medium-thick plates, replacing the relatively crude furnace grouping method for the continuous casting process of low-alloy medium-thick plates that relies on manual experience.
[0065] Under hot charging and hot delivery process conditions, this invention can improve the continuity of the rolling process for products with strength of 235MPa-420MPa, reduce rolling process jumps, improve equipment utilization, significantly improve production line efficiency and product quality control capabilities, and significantly enhance the ability to customize personalized medium and heavy plate products on a large scale.

[0148] Embodiment 1 of this invention proposes a data model-driven method for grouping furnace batches in continuous casting of low-alloy medium-thick plates. Considering key data such as order weight, smelting cost index of customized steel grades, and delivery time difference index, a characteristic value model for the furnace batch grouping sequence in the continuous casting process is constructed. Based on the characteristic values, the furnace batch sequence position of each customized steel grade during the casting period is determined. In the rolling process, a characteristic value model for the in-furnace billet grouping sequence is established, integrating key data elements such as the width and thickness of the rolled steel plate, strength and toughness grades, and rolling process. This model determines the sequential position of all billets in the order during the casting period, effectively avoiding large jumps in quality grade, size specifications, and rolling process parameters during the hot-charged continuous casting billet rolling process, thereby improving the continuity and stability of production.

It constructs a grouping model for the hot-delivery and hot-charging low-alloy medium-thick plate continuous casting process, replacing the relatively crude furnace grouping method for low-alloy medium-thick plate continuous casting process that relies on manual experience.
