Precision Steel Vertical Continuous Casting Technology

Precision steel casting technology was originally used in a vertical continuous casting machine, which is an important part of the production of ingots, can greatly save operating costs. Curved new caster caster is improved, since it is possible to further lower the production cost savings, thus playing an increasingly important role. However, when the production of precision steel tubes and high quality requirements, leave ingot casting and vertical directions, and remains today the preferred solution. Prevent bending and straightening force reduction, high cleanliness, the production of precision steel or billet uniform homogeneous, these are the salient features of vertical continuous casting technology.

Series of high-alloy steel casting critical in the traditional arc caster is very difficult, because such material is very strong, for precision steel crack also very sensitive, which means that such materials bending caster and straightening area, can not be easily bent from the vertical to the horizontal direction. To ensure that meet the most stringent quality requirements and development needs of continuous casting new types of steel, a steel construction of an annual output of 270,000 tons of a single stream vertical slab caster. The continuous caster capable of casting a broad and highly specialized range of products, including high-alloy and ultra high alloy steel, special steel and stainless steel. This caster machine height of 40 meters, metallurgical length 13.6 meters. Slab thickness of 150 and 200 mm, a width of 600 to 1,300 mm. According to different grades and thickness to be cast, the casting speed varies between 0.7 to 1.3 m / min.

This unique caster following advanced technology and special packages designed to ensure reliable operation of the equipment, and produce high-quality slabs.

Precision steel vertical continuous casting machine can cast almost all types of steel, particularly those of steel can not be cast on a curved casting machine. These special requirements of steel casting machine has good flexibility. Through continuous improvement and continuous upgrading of modern technology, the application vertical continuous casting technology may extend to more steel grades and product specifications section, but also to improve the quality and productivity of precision steel tubes.
