Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of super austenitic stainless steel production, and in particular to a method for determining the feeding parameters of steel strip during the continuous casting process of super austenitic stainless steel. Background Technology

[0002] Super austenitic stainless steel possesses significantly greater strength and corrosion resistance than ordinary austenitic stainless steel, making it widely used in highly corrosive environments such as marine engineering and petrochemicals. However, super austenitic stainless steel contains a large number of alloying elements, which continuously accumulate in the molten steel during continuous casting, exacerbating segregation in the center of the continuously cast slab and causing intractable inclusion and cracking problems.

[0003] Feeding steel strip into the continuous casting mold can change the traditional solidification method from the surface to the interior in continuous casting. The cold steel strip promotes the solidification of the surrounding molten steel, improving the solidification quality of the continuously cast billet. This method has already been applied in the production of super austenitic stainless steel. In the process of producing super austenitic stainless steel continuously cast billets by feeding steel strip into the continuous casting mold, the feeding parameters of the steel strip are key to controlling the improvement of the solidification quality of the billet. A mismatch between the feeding parameters and the continuous casting machine operating conditions will result in unmelted steel strip remaining in the billet, increasing the risk of cracking and deteriorating the internal quality of the billet. Conversely, overly conservative feeding parameters will limit the cooling effect of the steel strip.

[0004] Patents CN112059132A ("A Method for Improving the Solidification Quality of Cast Billets by Feeding Boron, Magnesium, and Rare Earth Stainless Steel Strip into a Crystallizer") and CN115519082A ("A Method for Suppressing the Segregation of Alloy Elements in the Center of Super Austenitic Stainless Steel Billets") both introduce the application of crystallizer strip feeding technology in the production of super austenitic stainless steel. However, neither of these patents can accurately match the strip feeding parameters. Patent CN105033216A ("A Method for Determining Process Parameters of Crystallizer Strip Feeding in Thick Slab Continuous Casting") provides a method for determining the strip size and feeding speed in the production of ordinary steel using crystallizer strip feeding, but this method is not applicable to super austenitic stainless steel, and the strip oscillation parameters need further matching with the strip feeding amount. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the feeding parameters of steel strip in the continuous casting process of super austenitic stainless steel provided by the present invention includes:

[0032] S101, Obtain the operating parameters and molten steel properties during the continuous casting process of feeding the strip into a super austenitic stainless steel slab; the operating parameters include: billet pulling speed, molten steel superheat, crystallizer size, secondary cooling zone length, liquid core length, crystallizer cooling water flow rate, crystallizer cooling water inlet and outlet temperatures, secondary cooling zone cooling water temperature and spray density, and ambient temperature; the molten steel properties include: molten steel specific heat capacity, molten steel density, molten steel liquidus temperature, and molten steel latent heat.

[0033] The steel strip is vertically fed into the molten steel at a distance of 600mm to 650mm from the submersible nozzle. The width of the steel strip satisfies: 0 < w < 0.1W; the thickness of the steel strip satisfies: 0 < d < 0.3w; the amplitude of the steel strip satisfies: A < 2mm; and the oscillation frequency of the steel strip satisfies: f < 300Hz.

[0034] Where w is the width of the steel strip (mm); d is the thickness of the steel strip (mm); W is the length of the crystallizer (mm); f is the oscillation frequency of the steel strip (Hz); and A is the amplitude of the steel strip (mm).

[0035] The continuous casting machine is a vertical slab continuous casting machine.

[0047] Among them, H mold H represents the height of the crystallizer, in mm; H represents the length of the liquid core, in mm.

[0048] S105, if satisfied, then determine the current preset parameters as the final steel strip feeding parameters; if not satisfied, then return to S102; the current preset parameters include: preset steel strip size, preset feeding speed, preset steel strip oscillation frequency, and preset steel strip amplitude.

[0049] The following is an illustration through specific examples:

[0050] Super austenitic stainless steel continuous casting billets were prepared on a vertical slab casting machine with a crystallizer size of 1280mm × 160mm × 800mm. The operating parameters were: billet speed V = 0.0058 m / s, molten steel superheat ΔT = 40℃, and crystallizer cooling water flow rate Q. w =110 kg / s, temperature difference Δt between inlet and outlet of cooling water in the crystallizer w =44℃, liquid core length H=9800mm, secondary cooling zone length H sec =5800mm, cooling water spray density W in the secondary cooling zone w =1.2L / (m 2 ·s), secondary cooling zone cooling water temperature T w =25℃, ambient temperature T b =30℃.

[0051] The composition (wt%) of the molten steel is: C: 0.04, Mn: 3, Cr: 24, Ni: 22, Mo: 7, N: 0.5, Cu: 1.1, with the balance being Fe. The parameters of the molten steel calculated by thermodynamic software are: specific heat capacity of molten steel c... p =793 J / (kg·℃), molten steel density ρ = 7292 kg / m³ 3 Liquidus temperature of molten steel T l =1390℃, latent heat of molten steel L=284500J / kg.

[0052] Based on the heat transfer theory of molten steel to molten steel strip phase transformation and the heat transfer theory of cooling water to molten steel, the steel strip dimensions and feeding speed satisfy the following:

[0053]

[0054] The preset values ​​are: steel strip width w = 30mm, steel strip thickness d = 4mm, and feeding speed v = 0.2m / s.

[0055] According to the regression model for the width of the fine-grained region, the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the steel strip satisfy the following:

[0056] 650.42+2.75f+826.98A-9.12ΔT≥0.4W=512.

[0057] The preset values ​​are: steel strip oscillation frequency f = 60Hz and steel strip amplitude A = 0.5mm.

[0058] Then we have:

[0059] -32.1699+106.3707v-0.08353ΔT+0.32396w+3.70091d-0.0477f-14.4123A=0.21733<0.0013H mold =1.04.

[0060] With the steel strip width w = 30mm, steel strip thickness w = 4mm, and feeding speed v = 0.2m / s preset again, we have wdv = 24 < 25.6; with the steel strip oscillation frequency f = 60Hz and steel strip amplitude A = 0.2mm preset, we have 650.42 + 2.75f + 826.98A - 9.12ΔT = 616.02 > 512.

[0061] at this time:

[0062] -32.1699+106.3707v-0.08353ΔT+0.32396w+3.70091d-0.0477f-14.4123A=4.54102.

[0063] Because 4.54102 > 0.0013H mold =1.04 and 4.45102 < 0.0007H = 6.86.

[0064] Therefore, the final feeding parameters are determined as follows: steel strip width w = 30mm, steel strip thickness w = 4mm, feeding speed v = 0.2m / s, steel strip oscillation frequency f = 60Hz, and steel strip amplitude A = 0.2mm.

[0065] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0066] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
