磁场对超高速薄板坯保护渣调控机制研究

Study on regulation mechanism of magnetic field on mold flux for ultra-high speed thin slab continuous casting

  • 摘要: 在全球“双碳”战略背景下,超高速薄板坯连铸技术因其显著的节能减排优势和产品质量优势成为钢铁工业绿色转型的重要方向。然而,高拉速(6~8m/min)导致钢液流动不稳定、保护渣润滑不足等问题,制约技术发展。电磁制动(EMBr)技术通过施加磁场抑制钢液湍流,但磁场同时作用于保护渣的特性尚未明确。本研究系统探究了超高速薄板坯保护渣的理化性能在磁场作用下的演变规律。研究发现,碱度R=1.67,黏度为0.22Pa·s,熔点为1 042℃,含Na2O-Li2O-F助熔体系的薄板坯保护渣具有优异的工艺适配性,满足高拉速对快速熔化和均匀润滑的要求。而在0~90mT的磁场作用下显著影响保护渣结晶行为:随磁场强度的增加,晶核出现的时间提前,延长结晶区间,抑制晶体生长,并使凝固体积膨胀23%。微观表征表明,磁场促进Ca0.87Mn0.19Mg0.94Si2O6相择优生长,占比提升5.2%,并诱导硅酸盐网络从无序向有序转变。水淬实验结合XRD/拉曼光谱证实,磁场通过抑制熔体流动改变溶质传输,进而调控保护渣的凝固收缩特性和微观结构。本研究首次揭示了电磁场环境下超高速连铸保护渣的性能演变机制,为开发适配EMBr技术的保护渣提供了理论依据,对推动超高速连铸技术工业化应用具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: In the context of the global "dual carbon" strategy,ultra-high speed thin slab continuous casting has become a key technology for the green transformation of the iron and steel industry,owing to its significant advantages in energy saving,emission reduction,and product quality.However,high casting speeds(6-8m/min)lead to issues such as unstable molten steel flow and inadequate lubrication by mold flux,which hinder further development.Although electromagnetic braking(EMBr)technology can suppress molten steel turbulence through applied magnetic fields,its specific effects on mold flux properties remain unclear.This study systematically investigates the evolution of physicochemical properties of ultra-high speed thin slab mold flux under magnetic fields.The results indicate that a mold flux with a basicity(R)of 1.67,viscosity of 0.22 Pa·s,melting point of 1 042℃,and a Na2 O-Li2 OF flux system exhibits excellent process adaptability,meeting the requirements of rapid melting and uniform lubrication at high casting speeds.Under a magnetic field intensity ranging from 0 to 90 mT,the crystallization behavior of the mold flux is significantly influenced:increasing magnetic field strength advances nucleation time,prolongs the crystallization interval,inhibits crystal growth,and increases solidification volume expansion by 23%.Microstructural analysis reveals that the magnetic field promotes preferential growth of the Ca0.87Mn0.19Mg0.94Si2O6 phase,increasing its proportion by 5.2%,and induces a transition in the silicate network from a disordered to an ordered structure.Water quenching experiments combined with XRD and Raman spectroscopy confirm that the magnetic field alters solute transport by suppressing melt flow,thereby regulating the solidification shrinkage behavior and microstructure of the mold flux.This study reveals,for the first time,the performance evolution mechanism of ultra-high speed casting mold flux under an electromagnetic field,providing a theoretical basis for developing mold fluxes compatible with EMBr technology and contributing to the industrial application of ultra-high speed continuous casting.
