Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of continuous casting of shaped billets, in particular to a method for improving the internal quality of a super-section shaped billet. BACKGROUND

[0002] H-beams are widely used in the fields of construction and bridges, and in recent years, customers have increasingly demanded super-large specifications and super-high performance of H-beams. As a near-net shape product, a super-section shaped billet has an incomparable advantage in the rolling production of super-large specification H-beams, and therefore it is of great significance to research and develop the quality control technology of super-section shaped billets.

[0003] In the rolling production of super-large specification H-beams, it is difficult to improve the internal quality of the rolled material, especially to meet the flaw detection requirements of high-end customers for H-beams, which increases the production difficulty exponentially. The traditional method for eliminating the core shrinkage and porosity defects of the billet is to use large compression ratio rolling in the rolling process, but this method increases the rolling cost and limits the size of the H-beam rolled material, which cannot meet the production requirements of super-large and super-thick specification H-beams. Therefore, the key to solving the problem of improving the internal quality of super-large and super-thick specification H-beams is still to produce super-section shaped billets with excellent core quality.

[0004] To improve the internal quality of large-section billets and reduce shrinkage and porosity defects, the currently widely used technology is the billet pressing technology, that is, a pressing roller is arranged at a position before the end of the solidification of the billet to press the billet to different degrees to reduce the defects such as porosity and shrinkage. This technology has achieved good application results in thick slab, square billet and round billet, and can significantly improve the internal quality of the billet. However, due to the complex geometry of the shaped billet, it is difficult to apply the pressing technology, and currently there is no excellent application case and mature pressing technology in the shaped billet continuous casting. The research work on improving the quality of the shaped billet is mostly concentrated in the optimization design of the copper plate internal cooling water channel, the adjustment of the crystallizer cooling water volume and the optimization of the secondary cooling process. These research works have obvious effect on improving the external quality of the billet, but cannot fully meet the demand for improving the core quality of super-large specification shaped billets.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The present application provides a method for improving the internal quality of a super-section beam blank, as shown in Figure 1 The super-section beam blank is in the shape of H, and the left and right sides of the H-shaped blank are referred to as narrow faces, which are divided into a left narrow face 5 and a right narrow face 6 in the figure, and the upper and lower sides of the H-shaped blank are referred to as wide faces. The narrow faces are two parallel planes, and the wide faces are two symmetrical concave surfaces, which include a web 1 recessed in the middle, wing tops 2 protruding on both sides, a bevel 3 connecting the web 1 and the wing tops 2, and an R angle 4 formed by the intersection of the bevel 3 and the web 1. In use, the specific method is as follows:

[0021] A plurality of pairs of special-shaped pinch rolls are arranged on the narrow face of the super-section beam blank, as shown in Figures 1-2 The pinch rolls are located in a region 1 m to 5 m before the solidification end, each pair of pinch rolls is spaced apart by more than 0.5 m, the pinch amount of each pair of pinch rolls gradually increases along the direction of drawing the blank, and the total pinch amount is more than 5% of the width of the wing top 2 of the beam blank.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2 The roll diameters at both ends of the pinch roll are consistent with the roll diameters of the pinch rolls clamping the narrow face of the beam blank, which can minimize the amount of modification work on the casting machine; the middle part of the special-shaped pinch roll is designed as a unique drum-shaped or other locally protruding shape, and the highest point of the protruding center is aligned with the center line of the narrow face of the beam blank; the arc-shaped protruding design of the plurality of pairs of pinch rolls realizes multi-segment local pinch of the narrow face of the beam blank, thereby reducing the core shrinkage and porosity in the triangular area of the beam blank, improving segregation, and achieving the goal of improving the internal quality of the beam blank.

[0023] The middle part of the pinch roll provided in the embodiment is a unique drum-shaped design, the center of the drum body 9 is aligned with the center line of the narrow face of the bloom, the drum faces 10 on both sides are symmetrically distributed along the center of the drum body 9, and the drum face spacing L is designed according to the cross-sectional size of the bloom and the solidification characteristics of the steel grade; in the embodiment, L=310mm, and the waist narrowing amount (the difference between the maximum diameter D1 of the drum body and the diameter D2 of the drum face) of the four pairs of pinch rolls is respectively set to 10mm, 20mm, 30mm and 40mm.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the present application realizes multi-section local pressing of the narrow face of the bloom during the continuous casting process by using the arc-shaped protruding design of the middle part of the drum body 9 of the pinch roll, thereby reducing the core shrinkage and porosity of the triangular area of the bloom, improving the segregation, and achieving the purpose of improving the internal quality of the bloom.

[0025] In summary: the method for improving the internal quality of the bloom provided by the present application realizes local pressing of the narrow face of the bloom by multi-section local pressing design, without changing the roller mechanism of the narrow face of the caster, and only needs to replace the conventional cylindrical clamping roll with a specially designed drum-shaped or other shape of local protruding pinch roll, which can automatically realize local pressing of the narrow face of the bloom, and the scheme is feasible. Secondly, the multi-section local pressing process of the narrow face of the bloom designed based on the method of the present application can significantly improve the internal quality of the bloom of the super large section bloom. In addition, the drum-shaped or other shape of pinch roll specially designed based on the method of the present application is simple and convenient to process, and only needs to be slightly adjusted to the processing program of the original cylindrical clamping roll to realize it.

[0026] The above is only one of the more optimal schemes based on the method of the present application, which can significantly improve the internal quality of the bloom of the super large section bloom and greatly improve the flaw detection qualification rate of the corresponding super large and thick H-shaped steel.

[0027] Based on the method of the present application, various structure parameters of the pinch roll including but not limited to drum-shaped, bowling pin-shaped, and rugby ball-shaped can be designed to realize the function of local pressing of the narrow face of the bloom. All methods and equipment for improving the internal quality of the bloom by local pressing of the narrow face of the bloom during the continuous casting process based on the method of the present application belong to the protection scope of the present application.
