Abstract:Steel strip casting process adopts a pair of copper roll to complete the sub-rapid solidification of molten steel, and direct casting and rolling to produce a near final product that meets the requirements of the size and properties. The cooling rate of strip casting is about 1 000 ℃/s and the thickness of the product is 1-2 mm. It has obvious advantages in the production of thin specification steel by eliminating the reheating and repeated hot rolling procedures. However, the thickness of the strip is very thin, and thus its surface quality (such as dents, micro cracks, etc.) is difficult to control and repair later. How to reduce the surface defects of strip has become one of the bottlenecks in the development of this new technology. The formation mechanism and control measures of surface defects during strip casting of low carbon steel, stainless steel, and TWIP steel are mainly reviewed. The surface defects of cast strip mainly originate from the initial solidification process of liquid steel in the casting roll, and are affected by various factors such as steel composition, roll separation force, inclusions, casting roll, protective atmosphere, etc. Therefore, appropriate strip continuous casting process parameters should be adopted for different steel types.
