A production method for solving the problem of transverse cracks at the ends of 130mm square cross-section 3SP steel
continuous casting billets is disclosed. This method includes converter primary refining,
continuous casting, and billet inspection processes. The generation of transverse cracks at the ends of the 130mm square cross-section
continuous casting billets is suppressed by controlling key process parameters in the converter charging process, the deoxidation and alloying process at tapping, and the continuous
casting process. In the converter process, when
smelting 3SP steel, ladles with low
sulfur content (S) are selected, requiring the charging molten iron [S] to be ≤0.030%, and the
molten steel [S] to be ≤0.022% after converter primary refining. In the converter deoxidation and alloying process, the [Mn] content of the
molten steel is controlled to be ≥0.55%, ensuring an Mn / S ratio ≥25, and the tapping temperature is 1650℃-1680℃. In the continuous
casting process, the
tundish baking temperature is ≥1050℃, the superheat during continuous
casting is controlled to be 20℃-35℃, the
electromagnetic stirring current in the crystallizer is 200-250A, the frequency is 2.5-4HZ, the casting speed is controlled to be 2.9-3.5m / min, and the specific
water content is controlled to be 1.2-1.4L / kg. This invention effectively suppresses the generation of transverse cracks at the ends of continuously cast billets and improves the
internal quality and overall yield of the billets by optimizing the key process parameters of the converter and continuous casting processes.
