Continuous casting process technology is an important development direction of modern metallurgy. It has many advantages, especially high product quality, large production capacity and low energy consumption. Today, a brief introduction of the characteristics of continuous casting process technology is given as follow.
1. Good production sign
Continuous casting process technology is a process in which molten steel is poured from the furnace and then directly cast from the ladle into a pre-set mold in the continuous casting machine. The real-time temperature and pressure data of the whole process can be monitored, the different parameters can be adjusted, and the production sign can be improved.
2. High quality
Continuous casting process technology produces ingots with higher cleanliness and fewer casting defects than conventional casting, especially for small steel. The continuous casting system also puts an end to the use of scrap steel, resulting in a higher quality product.
3. High productivity
Continuous casting process technology has a higher productivity than traditional casting methods. The casting speed is fast, the output is large, and the labor intensity of the workers is lower. Moreover, the production efficiency of continuous casting machine is higher than that of steel rolling mill.
4. Low energy consumption
Due to the addition of a large amount of heat generated during the casting process and the shorter casting time, the total energy consumption of the process is greatly reduced. Compared with traditional casting methods, the labor intensity of workers is reduced and the energy consumption is remarkable.
5. Simple maintenance
The continuous casting process is mechanized and automated, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, and can be programmed and maintained by computer. Even the on-site staff only need to press the button for operation and maintenance.
To sum up, the continuous casting process technology has the advantages of good production sign, high quality, high productivity, low energy consumption and simple maintenance. In the face of the increasing demand for steel products in the market, the continuous casting process is undoubtedly an important choice to meet the requirements.
