[0003] Because this type of steel has a high alloy content and low high-temperature strength, dimensional deviations cannot be corrected by large width reduction during rolling, resulting in the billet being scrapped directly due to unqualified shape.

[0016] With the actual drawing speed maintained at 0.8 m / min for 50 seconds, the potter's wheel was controlled at 0.60 m / s. 2 The third preset acceleration increases the actual pulling speed to 1.0 m / min.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, controlling the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone to spray cooling water onto the billet according to a preset water spraying scheme includes:

[0018] The cooling equipment corresponding to each section in the secondary cooling zone is controlled to spray cooling water onto the billet according to its own preset water spraying scheme.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, based on the aforementioned scheme, the secondary cooling zone near the crystallizer sequentially includes: a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, a fourth zone, a fifth zone, and a sixth zone. Controlling the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone to spray cooling water onto the billet according to a preset water spraying scheme includes:

[0020] The cooling equipment in the second zone is controlled to spray cooling water onto the billet at a rate of 650 L / min;

[0021] The cooling equipment in the third zone is controlled to spray cooling water onto the billet at a rate of 680 L / min;

[0028] Secondly, this application provides a billet production apparatus, comprising:

The preset water spraying scheme optimizes the cooling intensity of the first section of the secondary cooling zone, enhances the initial solidification ability of the billet surface shell, suppresses bulging deformation caused by the static pressure of molten steel, and avoids the risk of surface cracks caused by uneven cooling. Furthermore, for the key node of pulling speed control in the initial casting stage, the preset pulling speed scheme optimizes the staged acceleration and holding time, reduces the negative impact of the "lifting effect" of the ingot head on the ductility of the billet, and enables the billet shell to quickly form a uniform structure in the early stage of solidification, avoiding local over-width. It achieves precise control of billet dimensions under complex working conditions, and is especially suitable for special steel grades with high silicon and aluminum content, effectively reducing scrap rate caused by billet mismatch and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0047] 1. Crystallizer; 2. Cast billet; 3. Secondary cooling zone. Detailed Implementation

[0048] This application provides a billet production method that solves the technical problem that billets in the prior art are prone to "gourd-shaped" defects.

[0049] The technical solution of this application embodiment is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0050] This application provides a billet production method, including: after molten steel is injected into the crystallizer, controlling the billet puller to pull the billet produced in the crystallizer through a secondary cooling zone at a preset pulling speed; during the process of the billet passing through the secondary cooling zone, controlling the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone to spray cooling water onto the billet according to a preset water spraying scheme; and in the event of defects in the billet, controlling the actual amount of water sprayed by the cooling equipment to increase to a target amount. It can be seen that this application significantly improves the billet yield and production stability by regulating the secondary cooling regime and the synergistic effect of the pulling speed during continuous casting. The preset water spraying scheme optimizes the cooling intensity of the first section of the secondary cooling zone, enhances the initial solidification ability of the billet surface shell, suppresses bulging deformation caused by the static pressure of molten steel, and avoids the risk of surface cracks caused by uneven cooling. Furthermore, for the key node of pulling speed control in the initial casting stage, the preset pulling speed scheme optimizes the staged acceleration and holding time, reduces the negative impact of the "lifting effect" of the ingot head on the ductility of the billet, and enables the billet shell to quickly form a uniform structure in the early stage of solidification, avoiding local over-width. It achieves precise control of billet dimensions under complex working conditions, and is especially suitable for special steel grades with high silicon and aluminum content, effectively reducing scrap rate caused by billet mismatch and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0051] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0052] First, it should be clarified that the term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0053] In the continuous casting production of certain special steel grades (such as those with high silicon and aluminum content), an abnormal phenomenon often occurs in the cast billet: the central dimension is excessively wide, while the head and tail dimensions are within acceptable limits. This is commonly known as a "gourd-shaped" defect. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the defect manifests as the slab 2 near the head ( Figure 1The width of a section on the left side (as shown in the dashed box) significantly exceeds the process requirements, while the head and tail areas are of normal size, resembling a gourd shape, which severely restricts subsequent rolling processes. Because this type of steel has a high alloy content and low high-temperature strength, dimensional deviations cannot be corrected by large width reductions during rolling, resulting in billet 2 being directly scrapped due to its unqualified shape. This not only affects production planning and cost control but also exacerbates resource waste.

[0054] In existing technologies, the root cause of the gourd-shaped defect is closely related to the deficiencies in the design of the secondary cooling system and the speed control strategy. On the one hand, the cooling intensity of the traditional secondary cooling zone (especially the first 2-6 zones) is insufficient, resulting in slow secondary growth of the billet shell after the narrow face of billet 2 leaves the crystallizer 1, and the shell is thin and cannot effectively resist the static pressure of molten steel. Since the wide face of billet 2 is supported by rollers and is not prone to bulging, while the narrow face lacks a supporting structure, the thin billet shell bulges outward under the pressure of molten steel, forming a localized over-width area. On the other hand, there are defects in the speed control during the initial casting stage: the initial speed increase process is too slow, and the traction effect of the billet mill on billet 2 is insufficient. Instead, the "lifting effect" inhibits the extension of billet 2 along the casting direction, exacerbating the bulging of the narrow face. As the casting speed gradually stabilizes, the synergistic effect of the secondary cooling system and the casting speed thickens the billet shell and enhances its ductility. Subsequently, the width of billet 2 returns to normal, ultimately leaving an over-width area at the head of billet 2. Existing technologies fail to effectively coordinate the dynamic matching of secondary cooling intensity and casting speed. They are unable to quickly form a uniform shell during the initial casting stage, and it is also difficult to suppress narrow-face deformation through casting speed optimization, resulting in frequent gourd-shaped defects.

[0055] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a method for producing cast billets. For example... Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flow chart of a billet production method provided in an embodiment of this application, including steps S1-S3.

[0056] Step S1: After the molten steel is injected into the crystallizer, the billet pulling machine is controlled to pull the billet produced by the crystallizer through the secondary cooling zone at a preset pulling speed.

[0057] Step S2: During the process of the billet passing through the secondary cooling zone, control the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone to spray cooling water onto the billet according to the preset water spraying plan.

[0058] Step S3: In the event of defects in the billet, control the actual amount of water sprayed by the cooling equipment to increase to the target amount.

[0059] Regarding step S1, after the molten steel is injected into the crystallizer, the billet pulling machine is controlled to pull the billet produced by the crystallizer through the secondary cooling zone at a preset pulling speed.

[0060] like Figure 3As shown, the billet 2 produced by the crystallizer 1 is pulled through the secondary cooling zone 3 by a billet puller (not shown in the figure).

[0061] In continuous casting equipment, the heat exchange process formed by the molten steel in the crystallizer 1 through the closed-loop cooling water of the crystallizer 1 is usually called primary cooling. The cooling process of continuing to spray water on the billet 2 after exiting the crystallizer 1 until the transverse section of the billet 2 is completely solidified is called secondary cooling. The area from exiting the crystallizer 1 to complete solidification of the billet 2 is called secondary cooling zone 3.

[0062] It should be noted that the silicon content in the molten steel is ≥1.0%, and the aluminum content is ≥0.1%. After the molten steel is injected into the crystallizer 1, it quickly forms a thin shell (cast billet 2) upon contact with the cooling wall of the crystallizer 1, and is then output from the outlet of the crystallizer 1. After the cast billet 2 leaves the crystallizer 1, it is pulled by the billet puller through the secondary cooling zone 3. The secondary cooling zone 3 accelerates the thickness of the thin shell growing on the outside of the cast billet 2 by spraying cooling water, allowing the cast billet 2 to further solidify.

[0063] Furthermore, in the process of controlling the billet puller to pull the billet produced by the crystallizer through the secondary cooling zone at a preset pulling speed, the method includes steps S11-S13.

[0064] Step S11: Control the potter to start and increase the actual pulling speed to the first preset pulling speed with the first preset acceleration;

[0065] Step S12: When the actual pulling speed is maintained at the first preset pulling speed for a duration of the first preset pulling speed, control the potter to increase the actual pulling speed to the second preset pulling speed with the second preset acceleration.

[0066] Step S13: When the actual pulling speed is maintained at the second preset pulling speed for a period of time that reaches the second preset pulling speed, control the potter to increase the actual pulling speed to the third preset pulling speed with a third preset acceleration.

[0067] For example, such as Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of the drawing speed curve of a potter's wheel provided in an embodiment of this application. The horizontal axis represents time (in seconds), and the vertical axis represents drawing speed (in m / min). It can be seen that controlling the potter's wheel to start at 2.40 m / s... 2 The initial preset acceleration increases the actual drawing speed, reaching the initial preset drawing speed of 0.4 m / min after 10 seconds. After running at the initial preset drawing speed of 0.4 m / min for 40 seconds, the potter is controlled to move at 0.48 m / s. 2 The second preset acceleration increases the actual drawing speed, reaching the second preset drawing speed of 0.8 m / min at 90 s. After running at the second preset drawing speed of 0.8 m / min for 140 s, the potter is controlled to move at 0.60 m / s. 2The third preset acceleration increases the actual pulling speed, reaching the third preset pulling speed of 1.0 m / min at 160 s.

[0068] It is understood that the duration of maintaining a certain drawing speed (including the first preset drawing speed, the second preset drawing speed, and the third preset drawing speed) refers to the time period during which the speed at which the billet 2 is drawn out of the crystallizer 1 remains constant. For example, the first preset duration is 30 seconds, and the second preset duration is 50 seconds, i.e. Figure 3 The pulling speed curves corresponding to 10s-40s and 90s-140s.

[0069] Regarding step S2, during the process of the billet 2 passing through the secondary cooling zone 3, the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone 3 is controlled to spray cooling water onto the billet 2 according to a preset water spraying scheme.

[0070] The cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone 3 includes multiple nozzles that spray cooling water evenly onto the surface of the billet 2 to increase the growth rate of the billet shell.

[0071] Furthermore, controlling the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone 3 to spray cooling water onto the billet 2 according to a preset water spraying scheme includes:

[0072] The cooling equipment corresponding to each section of the secondary cooling zone 3 is controlled to spray cooling water onto the billet 2 according to its own preset water spraying scheme.

[0073] For example, the secondary cooling zone 3, located near the crystallizer 1, sequentially includes: a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, a fourth zone, a fifth zone, and a sixth zone. For instance, Figure 3 The secondary cooling zone 3 is divided into six sections from right to left by dotted lines: the first section, the second section, the third section, the fourth section, the fifth section, and the sixth section. The section closest to the crystallizer 1 is the first section, and the section farthest from the crystallizer 1 is the sixth section.

[0074] Specifically, the cooling equipment in the second zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 650 L / min; the cooling equipment in the third zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 680 L / min; the cooling equipment in the fourth zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 550 L / min; the cooling equipment in the fifth zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 420 L / min; the cooling equipment outside the sixth zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 390 L / min; and the cooling equipment inside the sixth zone sprays cooling water onto the billet 2 at a rate of 260 L / min.

[0075] It should be noted that the interior of the sixth zone refers to the side of the sixth zone that is close to the center of the billet or the subsequent fan-shaped section. In this area, the billet has partially solidified and has a lower cooling requirement. Excessive cooling should be avoided to prevent surface cracks.

[0076] The outer part of the sixth zone refers to the side of the sixth zone closest to the front fan-shaped section or the equipment shell. The temperature of the billet in this area is relatively high, and cooling needs to be strengthened to accelerate the thickening of the billet shell and prevent the static pressure of the molten steel from causing bulging deformation.

[0077] Regarding step S3, in the event of a defect in billet 2, the actual amount of water sprayed by the cooling equipment is increased to the target amount.

[0078] The defects that occur in the billet 2 include at least one of the following: the actual width of the billet 2 exceeds the preset width and cracks appear on the surface of the billet 2.

[0079] Oversized defects (gourd-shaped defects) refer to the actual width of the billet exceeding the preset process requirements (preset width), which is usually manifested as a bulge in the middle (due to insufficient strength of the billet shell to resist the static pressure of molten steel).

[0080] Surface cracks refer to cracks (such as corner cracks or transverse cracks) that occur on the surface of the cast billet due to uneven cooling or abrupt temperature gradient changes.

[0081] Specifically, by using a laser width measuring instrument or an infrared thermometer to monitor in real time, if an overwidth or crack signal is detected, the actual water volume sprayed by the cooling equipment is increased to the target water volume (for example, the total water volume of the first 6 zones is increased from 2739L / min to 2950L / min, as shown in Table 1). This enhances cooling, accelerates the thickening of the billet shell, and suppresses bulging or cracking.

[0082] Table 1. Target Water Volume for the First Six Zones of the Secondary Cooling Zone

[0083] Secondary cooling area Target water volume (L / min) Original actual water volume (L / min) Second Division 650 570 Third Division 680 640 Fourth Division 550 520 Fifth Division 420 410 External of the Sixth Division 390 339 Internal of the Sixth Division 260 260 total 2950 2739

[0084] The following provides a specific embodiment to detail a billet production method provided in this application.

[0085] In the process of applying the billet production method provided in this application, a production line designed multiple sets of orthogonal experiments to obtain the optimal preset casting speed scheme and preset water spraying scheme. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0086] Table 2. Schematic diagram of partial measurement results from multiple orthogonal experiments.

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] In Table 2, the variables are the increase in total water volume in the secondary cooling zone (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15%), casting speed (0.4 / 0.8 m / min), and casting speed holding time (20-90 seconds). The observed indicators are the billet overwidth (in mm) and crack length (slight or greater than 5 mm). It can be seen that when the total water volume in the secondary cooling zone increases to 7.5%, the billet overwidth phenomenon is significantly reduced to below 27 mm, and there are no cracks; when the total water volume increases to more than 10%, slight cracks appear at the corners (corner cracks of the billet). Therefore, increasing the total water volume in the secondary cooling zone to 7.5% is the preset water spraying scheme.

[0090] With a 7.5% increase in the total water volume in the secondary cooling zone, it is evident that the billet overwidth is relatively small (below 27 mm) under two conditions: holding the casting speed at 0.4 m / min for 30 s and at 0.8 m / min for 60 s, and holding it at 0.4 m / min for 20 s and at 0.8 m / min for 50 s. Furthermore, considering that a short holding time at the low casting speed (0.4 m / min) would affect the stability of successful initial casting, the preset casting speed scheme was set to holding it at 0.4 m / min for 30 s and at 0.8 m / min for 50 s.

[0091] After implementing the above-mentioned preset casting speed and preset water spraying scheme, the maximum extra width measured in the middle of the billet is 17mm, which meets the requirements for the width of the rolled steel in the subsequent process.

[0092] In summary, this application provides a billet production method, including: after molten steel is injected into the crystallizer 1, controlling the billet puller to pull the billet 2 produced by the crystallizer 1 through the secondary cooling zone 3 at a preset pulling speed; during the process of the billet 2 passing through the secondary cooling zone 3, controlling the cooling equipment in the secondary cooling zone 3 to spray cooling water onto the billet 2 according to a preset water spraying scheme; and in the event of defects in the billet 2, controlling the actual water volume sprayed by the cooling equipment to increase to a target water volume. It can be seen that this application significantly improves the yield and production stability of the billet 2 by regulating the secondary cooling system and the synergistic effect of the pulling speed during the continuous casting process. The preset water spraying scheme optimizes the cooling intensity of the first section of the secondary cooling zone 3, enhances the initial solidification ability of the billet shell on the surface of the billet 2, suppresses bulging deformation caused by the static pressure of the molten steel, and avoids the risk of surface cracks caused by uneven cooling. Furthermore, for key aspects of casting speed control during the initial casting stage, the staged acceleration and holding time were optimized in the preset casting speed scheme to reduce the negative impact of the "lifting effect" of the ingot head on the ductility of the billet 2, enabling the billet shell to quickly form a uniform structure in the early stage of solidification and avoiding local over-width. Precise control of the billet 2 dimensions was achieved under complex working conditions, especially suitable for special steel grades with high silicon and aluminum content, effectively reducing the scrap rate caused by billet mismatch and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0093] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide, as follows: Figure 5 The billet production apparatus shown includes:
