Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of high manganese steel continuous casting, in particular to a device and a method for refining a solidification structure of a high manganese steel continuous casting billet.

Background

The demand of 9Ni steel for the ultra-low temperature container of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in China is about 60 ten thousand tons every year, and the demand is very large. Due to the high production cost of the traditional 9Ni steel, the development of low-cost and high-quality steel for low-temperature containers is urgently needed. Therefore, a great deal of research is carried out by people, and the high manganese steel can be applied to the fields of automobiles, non-magnetism, sound insulation, wear resistance and the like, can also be applied to the field of steel for LNG ultra-low temperature containers, and can greatly reduce the production cost. However, because high manganese steel has poor thermal conductivity, coarse columnar crystals can be formed in the continuous casting process, so that segregation is serious, crack sensitivity is enhanced, and the quality qualification rate of casting blanks is reduced. How to refine the solidification structure of the high manganese steel casting blank is the key for improving the quality of the casting blank.

The preparation of materials by using ultrasonic waves is a leading-edge technology of the current material scientific development, the micro solidification dendritic crystals at the solidification front edge of a casting blank are resonated through vibration excited by the ultrasonic waves, the micro dendritic crystals are crushed along with the increase of the resonance strength, and a large amount of new nucleation particles are generated in the process, so that conditions are created for grain refinement. The electromagnetic stirring technology applied to continuous casting production at present can also produce the effect of refining grains, but in terms of mechanism, the electromagnetic stirring refining grains exert force on molten steel by means of electromagnetic force to enable the molten steel to move, and the whole dendritic crystal at the solidification front edge of the molten steel is broken to form a new nucleation core, so that the effect of refining the grains is achieved. In contrast, the ultrasonic wave has better effect on crushing dendrite than the electromagnetic stirring, generates more new nucleus particles and is more beneficial to refining the crystal grains.

The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201910492147.X discloses a method for refining a solidification structure of a high manganese steel continuous casting billet, wherein a nucleating agent of cerium, lanthanum and yttrium is added into a steel ladle, a tundish and a crystallizer in the continuous casting process to realize the refining of the solidification structure of the high manganese steel continuous casting billet. However, cerium, lanthanum and yttrium belong to rare earth elements, and after the cerium, lanthanum and yttrium are added into molten steel, the molten steel is easy to flocculate and flow in a long ladle nozzle and an immersed nozzle, so that the molten steel is not smooth, and even the nozzle is completely blocked and is scrapped, which is a difficult problem in the production process of rare earth steel. In addition, the added rare earth nucleating agent is an external inclusion for steel, and is not beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the steel.

The Chinese patent with application number of 201610965824.1 discloses an ultrasonic refining casting method and device for a plate-shaped steel casting, which comprises a metal mold and an ultrasonic generator, wherein the ultrasonic generator is vertically arranged on an installation plate below the metal mold, and ultrasonic waves are vertically introduced into molten metal from a bottom installation plate to realize the structure refining effect in the solidification process of the casting inside the metal mold. Although this method can refine the solidification structure of a casting, the introduction of ultrasonic waves and the structure of the apparatus cannot refine a continuously cast slab.

In the document "influence of ultrasonic treatment on refined carbon steel solidification structure" (11 years 2012 of special casting and nonferrous alloy), ultrasonic treatment of molten metal is realized by directly introducing ultrasonic waves into molten metal (low carbon steel and high carbon steel) in a graphite crucible to refine the solidification structure, and only solidification ultrasonic treatment of the molten metal in the crucible can be completed, namely the molten metal is in a relatively static state relative to the crucible, and the molten metal is gradually solidified in a flowing state, namely a continuous casting mode, so that the refining treatment of the molten metal solidification structure cannot be completed by the method.

In the document "research on the influence of ultrasonic waves on the solidification characteristics and the structure of metal" (doctor paper of Shanghai university in 2007), ultrasonic waves are introduced from the side surface of the solidified metal, specifically, an ultrasonic wave introduction head is combined with a crucible container containing high-temperature liquid metal to input ultrasonic energy into the solidified metal, so that the purpose of refining the solidification metal structure is achieved. Although the introduction of ultrasonic waves by this method overcomes the conventional disadvantages, continuous casting, which is a method in which the treatment molten metal is gradually solidified in a flowing state, is not yet realized.

And taking the thickness of the continuous casting blank shell 8 when the continuous casting blank shell is discharged from the crystallizer 1 as a reference, wherein the power of the ultrasonic generator 4 is increased by 30-60 kW when the thickness of the continuous casting blank shell 8 is increased by 10 mm.

A method for refining a solidification structure of a high manganese steel continuous casting billet comprises the following steps:

the method comprises the following steps: before producing a continuous casting billet of high manganese steel, adjusting the position of each lead-in head 7 in each ultrasonic lead-in ring according to the section size of the continuous casting billet, so that the top end of each lead-in head 7 and the inner side surface of a supporting roll 10 on the corresponding side in the continuous casting machine are positioned on the same cambered surface;

step two: after a high-temperature continuous casting billet starts to be pulled out of the crystallizer 1, a cooling water nozzle 2 corresponding to a first ultrasonic wave guide-in ring is opened, the pressure of cooling water is adjusted to 0.1-0.4 MPa, and then an ultrasonic generator 4 of the first ultrasonic wave guide-in ring is started; adjusting the power of an ultrasonic generator 4 in the first ultrasonic leading-in ring according to the steel type, wherein the power range is 10-30 kW;

In the continuous casting process, the ultrasonic wave transmitting mode of the ultrasonic wave generator 4 in each ultrasonic wave leading-in ring is independently controlled, and the ultrasonic wave transmitting mode adopts a continuous transmitting mode or a pulse transmitting mode with the intermittent time of 0.5-3 s.

Since the liquid high manganese steel liquid 9 is completely wrapped by the continuous casting billet shell 8, the ultrasonic waves cannot be directly introduced into the interior thereof. The invention uses the continuous casting billet shell 8 as an intermediate carrier to realize the introduction of ultrasonic waves into the continuous casting billet. The introduction method comprises the following steps: the ultrasonic generator 4 is started, and the amplitude output by the ultrasonic generator 4 cannot meet the requirement of ultrasonic input, so that an amplitude transformer 5 with an amplitude amplifying function is arranged between the ultrasonic generator 4 and the leading-in rod 6. The ultrasonic energy of the introduction rod 6 is introduced into the inside of the shell 8, and is required to be in direct contact with the cast strand, but if the front end of the introduction rod is in direct contact with the shell 8, the friction between the front end of the introduction rod 6 and the shell 8 is increased in the case where the shell 8 is continuously moved downward, and it is inevitable that the introduction rod 6 and the shell 8 are simultaneously damaged. Therefore, the invention is provided with a high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant spherical leading-in head 7 at the front end of the leading-in rod. In order to prevent the introduction rod 6 from being deformed by heat generation due to self-heating by high-frequency vibration during operation of the introduction rod 6 and to reduce the ultrasonic wave introduction efficiency, the cooling water shower head 2 is provided above the introduction rod to perform water cooling treatment. In addition, because the temperature of continuous casting billet is relatively higher, in order to prevent that high temperature heat radiation from causing the damage to supersonic generator, set up guard plate 3 between continuous casting billet and supersonic generator.

After the liquid high manganese steel liquid 9 is injected into the crystallizer 1, the side surface of the continuous casting billet can form a solidified continuous casting billet shell 8, and with the continuous downward movement of the continuous casting billet shell 8, after the continuous casting billet leaves the crystallizer, under the continuous cooling of the surface of the continuous casting billet shell 8, the heat conduction has strong directivity from inside to outside, and obvious columnar crystals can be formed inside the continuous casting billet shell 8. The columnar crystal inside the continuous casting billet shell 8 continuously grows towards the inside of the continuous casting billet without the intervention of an external field to form a developed columnar crystal area, thereby reducing the quality of the continuous casting billet.

In order to improve the equiaxed crystal of the continuous casting billet, the columnar crystal inside the continuous casting billet shell 8 of the crystallizer needs to be crushed. However, the continuous casting slab is different from a die casting billet, the continuous casting slab continuously moves downwards after being discharged from a crystallizer, and the ultrasonic generator is limited by the structure inside the continuous casting machine and cannot move downwards along with the continuous casting slab synchronously, so that the continuous casting slab can only play a role at the position where the ultrasonic generator is arranged when being subjected to ultrasonic treatment. In order to enable the continuous casting billet to fully receive ultrasonic waves and refine the solidification structure of the continuous casting billet, the invention implements multi-point surrounding type ultrasonic treatment on the continuous casting billet out of the crystallizer.

In order to realize the multi-point surrounding type ultrasonic treatment, a plurality of ultrasonic leading-in rings are arranged from top to bottom along the continuous casting billet withdrawal direction. Along with continuous casting billet constantly moves downwards and is pulled out, the thickness of continuous casting billet shell 8 is also constantly increasing, correspondingly, each ultrasonic wave leading-in ring ultrasonic generator's effect power also gradually increases. In order to enable the solidification structure of the continuous casting billet to be refined by ultrasonic waves to the maximum extent, ultrasonic wave leading-in devices which are arranged in a ring mode are arranged in the range from the outlet of the crystallizer to the straightening section of the continuous casting billet.

The following examples are carried out on the premise of the technical scheme of the invention, and detailed embodiments and specific operation processes are given, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the following examples.

According to the formulaCalculating the power of the ultrasonic generators from the second ultrasonic wave leading-in ring to the eighth ultrasonic wave leading-in ring as follows: 45kW, 70kW, 100kW, 120kW, 160kW, 200kW, 220 kW;

step four: and after the continuous casting slab is pulled to the continuous casting slab straightening section, sequentially starting the ultrasonic generators in the third ultrasonic wave leading-in ring to the eighth ultrasonic wave leading-in ring. In the continuous casting process, the ultrasonic generators in the ultrasonic wave leading-in rings adopt a pulse emission mode with the intermittent time of 2 s;

step five: before the continuous casting is finished, namely after the tail of the continuous casting blank leaves the leading-in head of the first ultrasonic leading-in ring, all the ultrasonic generators are closed, the pressure of cooling water is reduced to 0.1MPa, and after the tail of the continuous casting blank leaves the pulling and straightening section, all the cooling water nozzles are closed, namely the refining treatment of the ultrasonic waves on the continuous casting blank is finished.
