Introduction of Continuous Casting Machine

The production process of continuously casting high-temperature molten steel into a slab with a certain cross-sectional shape and a certain size is called continuous steel casting.

The equipment required to complete this process is called a complete set of continuous casting equipment. The electro-hydraulic integration of steel casting equipment, continuous casting machine body equipment, cutting area equipment, ingot bar collection, and conveying equipment constitutes the core part of continuous steel casting equipment, which is customarily called continuous casting machine.

Continuous casting machine production process. The high-temperature molten steel is continuously poured into one or a group of water-cooled copper molds, and the molten steel gradually solidifies into a billet shell along the periphery of the mold. When the steel liquid level rises to a certain height, the billet shell is solidified to a certain thickness, and then the drawing and leveling machine will The billet is drawn out, and the cast billet is completely solidified by spraying water in the secondary cooling zone and is cut to length by the cutting device according to the rolling requirements. This process of directly pouring high-temperature molten steel into steel billets is called continuous casting. Its appearance has fundamentally changed the steel ingot rolling process that has been dominant for a century. As it simplifies the production process, improves the production efficiency and the metal yield, saves energy consumption, greatly reduces the production cost, and the advantages of good steel billet quality have been rapidly developed. For current steelmaking enterprises, whether it is long-process steel-making or short-process steelmaking, the equipment of continuous casters has almost become inevitable.

Continuous casting machines can be classified in various forms. According to the structure and shape, the continuous casting machine can be divided into vertical continuous casting machine, vertical bending continuous casting machine, arc continuous casting machine with straight section, arc continuous casting machine, multi-radius elliptical continuous casting machine, and horizontal continuous casting machine. With the development of continuous casting technology, research on wheeled continuous casting machines, especially thin slab continuous casting machines, has been carried out.

If distinguished according to the size and shape of the section cast by the continuous casting machine, the continuous casting machine can be divided into slab continuous casting machine, billet continuous casting machine, bloom continuous casting machine, round billet continuous casting machine, and special-shaped section. Continuous casting machine and thin slab continuous casting machine. The billet continuous caster also includes the rectangular billet continuous caster. Usually, the cast slab with the casting section or equivalent section area greater than 200×200mm is called the bloom, and the cast slab with the section or equivalent section area less than 160×160mm is called the billet. A rectangular blank with a width-to-thickness ratio greater than 3 is called a slab.

　　 If it's distinguished by the number of slab streams that the continuous casting machine can cast under the same ladle, it can be divided into single-strand, double-strand, or multi-strand continuous casters.
