The structure and working principle of continuous casting machine
Continuous casting machine is a kind of equipment for continuous casting of liquid steel into billet, which is composed of crystallizer, transfer mechanism, hydraulic system and control system. Under normal circumstances, the continuous casting machine is composed of a number of molds, each of which has a mold, from which the liquid steel flows, and is continuously cast through a series of transfer mechanisms, and finally forms the blank. The working principle of the continuous casting machine is that the liquid steel is quickly solidified and formed into billets through water cooling in the crystallizer.
The role of continuous casting machine
Continuous casting machine is one of the very important equipment in iron and steel smelting production, its main role has the following aspects:
1. Improve steel production efficiency: The use of continuous casting machine can continuously cast liquid steel into billets, thereby improving steel production efficiency.
2. Improve product quality: Because the continuous casting machine can continuously cast liquid steel into billets, the size and shape of the billets are more uniform, thus improving product quality.
3. Energy saving: The use of continuous casting machine can reduce heat loss, save energy and reduce production costs.
4. Reduce environmental pollution: The use of continuous casting machine can reduce the splashing and sprinkling of high-temperature steel, reduce the emissions of pollutants such as smoke and steam in the air, and have a huge effect on environmental protection.
The importance of continuous casting machine in steel production
Continuous casting machine is one of the important equipment in the modern steel production process, its appearance and application make the steel production process has been greatly improved and improved, and become one of the keys to achieve large-scale and industrialized production in the steel industry. At the same time, the emergence of continuous casting machine has also greatly improved the environmental pollution of steel production, effectively protected the environment, and prevented the pollution of the atmosphere, water and other environments.
Through the introduction of this article, we can know that continuous casting machine is a kind of continuous casting equipment of liquid steel into billet, which has an important role in improving steel production efficiency, improving product quality, saving energy and reducing environmental pollution. Its emergence and application have greatly improved and enhanced the steel production process, and also made great contributions to environmental protection.
