Industrial Application of the Packaged Soft-reduction Technology for Slab Continuous Casting
Based on the conception of integration and optimization of process,mechanical,electric and hydraulic system,the advanced CISDI packaged soft-reduction technology for slab continuous casting with our full intellectual property rights has been developed successfully,which consists of the metallurgical process models with strong function and advanced arithmetic,the segment equipments with optimized structure and high strength,the basic automation program with full inspection and control function,the reliable stable hydraulic system and automatic system.It contains two control modules,viz.,the static soft-reduction function dynamic soft-reduction function,and three gap-adjustment modes,viz.,the position-control mode,pressure-control mode soft-clamping mode.From the opinions of equipment protection and production safety,some functional mechanism such as segment ordinal action,gap self-adapting adjustment,and forced protection for breakout prediction have been adopted.The whole system has been put into the industrial practice on the No.6 slab caster of Liu steel,which has shown the smooth caster operation,the steady running of system,and the good metallurgical effects on improvement of internal quality of slab like center segregation and center looseness.
