To solve the nozzle clogging issue in the continuous casting process of 253MA steel, a method of modifying solid inclusions to liquid phases is proposed. The CALPHAD technique was employed to predict the liquid region of the Al2O3-SiO2-Ce2O3 system. Then a thermodynamic package based on the extracted data during the phase diagram optimization process was developed. This package was then used to compute the appropriate aluminum addition, which was 0.01% in 253MA steel. The Si-Al alloy was chosen as the deoxidant according to the thermodynamic analysis. The solid inclusions were ultimately modified to liquid phases at 1500 °C when cerium was added through the equilibrium experiments in a MoSi2 tube furnace.

AbstractTo figure out the reason causing ladle nozzle clogging during a continuous casting process (or CC for short) for the silicon steel and get away to solve it, this paper studied the theoretical calculation of flow rates during casting, inclusions around the slide gate where ladle nozzle clogging happened, and Ca-treatment on refining units for producing the silicon steel. The results showed that: The bigger diameter of a nozzle or less nozzle clogging can guarantee an enough flow rate for reaching the target casting speed. Ladle nozzle clogging can be predicted by analyzing the percentage of a slide gate being opened. Al2O3 and its composite inclusions were the main ones which cause the nozzle clogging during the CC process of the silicon steel. Ca-treatment could transform those high melting point inclusions into C12A7 by adding Si-Ca wires and prevent the ladle nozzle clogging of the silicon steel.

Swirling flow in an immersion nozzle is effective on improving quality of casting block and casting speed in continuous casting process of steel. However, a refractory swirl blade installed in the nozzle is liable to cause clogging, which limit the application of the process. In this study a new process is proposed, that is a rotating electromagnetic field is set up around an immersion nozzle to induce a swirling flow in it by Lorentz force. New types of swirling flow electromagnetic generator are proposed and the effects of the structure of the generator, the coil current intensity and frequency on the magnetic field and on the flow field in the immersion nozzle are numerically analyzed.

It was analyzed by strain-induced precipitation model that Nb(C,N) precipitation in micro alloy steel slab was effected by strain rate during continuous casting process. The results are as follows: The changing of casting speed could effect the time for 5%precipitation of Nb(C,N), which was decreasing with increasing casting speed at certain temperature and strain rate. Slab strain and strain rate were too small in bending zone and leveling zone. The effect of slab strain rate on Nb(C,N) precipitation could be ignore when Nb(C,N) precipitation in continuous casting process was studied.
