摘要: 中天钢铁集团原电炉厂率先在220 mm×260 mm矩形坯连铸生产中采用上海大学原创的脉冲磁致振荡(PMO)凝固均质化技术。本文以低碳齿轮钢、中碳工具钢和高碳轴承钢为研究对象,通过工业试验研究了PMO技术对铸坯内部质量的影响,对比分析了拉速和过热度对铸坯等轴晶占比的改善情况以及影响规律。生产实践表明,与单一末端电磁搅拌铸坯相比,经PMO处理后的铸坯,其等轴晶占比增加率平均约50%~100%,且等轴晶占比随拉速、过热度的升高进一步提高。PMO技术在提高铸坯质量的同时较大幅度放宽了连铸工艺窗口,为连铸均质化应用研究提供又一重要技术手段。Abstract: The former Electric Furnace Plant of Zenith Iron and Steel Group was the first to adopt the Pulsed Magneto-Oscillation (PMO) homogenization technology originally developed by Shanghai University for the continuous casting of 220 mm×260 mm rectangular billets. Taking low-carbon gear steel, medium-carbon tool steel and high-carbon bearing steel as research materials, this paper explores the influence of PMO technology on the internal quality of continuous casting billets via industrial trials. The improvement effect and variation rules of casting speed and superheat on the equiaxed grain ratio of billets are comparatively analyzed. Industrial production results indicate that compared with billets treated merely by final electromagnetic stirring (F-EMS), the equiaxed grain ratio of billets processed with PMO rises by 50% to 100% on average. Such growth becomes more prominent as casting speed and superheat increase. While enhancing the quality of continuous casting billets, PMO technology remarkably expands the process window for continuous casting, offering another key technical approach for the research and engineering application of homogenization technology in continuous casting.
