连铸钢包下渣数值模拟及剩钢控制预警系统开发

Numerical simulation of slag entrainment in continuous casting ladle at HBIS Hansteel and development of residual steel control early warning system

  • 摘要: 针对连铸钢包浇注末期因科氏力诱发钢水下渣导致汽车面板夹杂缺陷的问题,本文通过建立基于k-ε湍流模型与VOF多相流耦合的数值模拟方法,系统研究了钢包浇注过程中钢水下渣的动态行为及其影响因素。研究表明,钢水下渣过程可分为初始凹陷、锥形旋涡形成、湍流卷吸、爆发性下渣4个阶段,其中通钢量是影响临界下渣液面高度的核心因素,其与临界液面高度呈显著正相关,而钢包包龄、渣层厚度及钢渣黏度影响可忽略。基于此,本文构建了融合通钢量、拉速、包龄等多参数的钢包临界剩钢预测模型,并提出临界剩钢量计算方程,其预测误差小于3%。进一步开发了智能化剩钢控制预警系统,通过实时采集工艺参数实现下渣前精准预警。工业应用表明,该系统使钢包剩钢量减少2 t/包以上,下渣率降至0.5%,夹杂缺陷发生率降低0.1%,显著提升了汽车面板钢的纯净度与表面质量,同时降低了生产成本,经济效益显著。

     

    Abstract: Addressing the issue of inclusion defects in automotive panels caused by slag entrainment in molten steel due to coriolis forces during the final stage of continuous casting ladle pouring, this paper systematically investigates the dynamic behavior and influencing factors of slag entrainment in the molten steel during the ladle pouring process by establishing a numerical simulation method based on the k-ε turbulence model coupled with the VOF multiphase flow model. The research reveals that the slag entrainment process can be divided into four stages: initial depression, formation of conical vortices, turbulence entrainment, and explosive slag entrainment. Among these, the steel throughput is the core factor affecting the critical slag entrainment level, showing a significant positive correlation with the critical level. Factors such as ladle age, slag layer thickness, and steel slag viscosity have negligible effects. Based on this, a prediction model for critical remaining steel in the ladle is constructed, incorporating multiple parameters such as steel throughput, casting speed, and ladle age. Additionally, a calculation equation for critical remaining steel is proposed, with a prediction error of less than 3%. Furthermore, an intelligent remaining steel control and early warning system is developed, enabling precise early warning before slag entrainment through real-time collection of process parameters. Industrial applications demonstrate that this system reduces the amount of remaining steel in the ladle by over 2 tons per ladle, lowers the slag entrainment rate to 0.5%, and decreases the incidence of inclusion defects by 0.1%. This significantly enhances the purity and surface quality of automotive panel steel, while reducing production costs and achieving significant economic benefits.
