The Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process has opened up a new channel for the continuous casting of billets in industry. It can use the advantages of low cost and low energy consumption to greatly reduce the costs of downstream products and make more sensible use of the national energy.
The Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process refers to the process of using continuous casting technology to produce lingshaped billet bloom after solidification. Generally, the blooms are produced by 1-5 meters.
At present, the traditional method of producing lingshaped billets is blooming before continuous casting. This method is time-consuming and energy-consuming. It will cost a lot of energy to make all lingshaped billets with continuous casting technology. So we must take full advantage of the technology to make the most of the energy.
The Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process is to make use of the characteristics of continuous casting technology to produce lingshaped billet bloom with the guiding of certain external force and to finish the production of lingshaped bloom with the combination of the end forming process.
First of all, the starting material of the Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process is composed of pig iron, scrap steel, casting additive and some other materials. Through proper proportioning and alloying treatment, a proper amount of molding materials of different characteristics, chemical compositions and proper combinations of steel and non-steel materials, such as alloy materials, are prepared.
Then, the billet in the continuous casting machine is continuously produced and steadily advanced, and the mold of lingshaped billet is processed for each section under the effect of the guiding force. When the casting material reaches the billets required, the external force and the forming process are used to form lingshaped billets. The billet size can be controlled to meet the requirements of the downstream product by adjusting the speed of the continuous casting machine and the size of the mold.
The Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process is a profitable and environmentally friendly process. Compared with the traditional process, it can greatly reduce the energy consumption in the production process, reduce the production time and cost, and improve the product quality of the billets.
In order to make the Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process popular in the industry, it is necessary to continuously improve its process quality and stability, so as to reduce production losses and improve the service life of the equipment.
The Chinese lingshaped billet blooming process is expected to become the main production method of lingshaped billet in the future. It has great potential to improve the efficiency of the whole production process and reduce the cost of downstream products. It is also an important part of the Made in China 2025 strategy.
