Continuous casting machine production process. High-temperature molten steel continuously poured into one or a group of water-cooled copper crystallizer, molten steel along the periphery of the crystallizer gradually solidified into a billet shell, to be the liquid steel level rises to a certain height, the billet shell solidified to a certain thickness of pulling the straightening machine will be pulled out of the billet, and by the secondary cooling area water cooling to make the billet completely solidified by cutting device according to the requirements of the steel rolled and cut into sizes. This makes the high temperature steel directly poured into the billet process is called continuous casting.
In accordance with the continuous casting machine casting the size and shape of the section to distinguish, continuous casting machine can be divided into billet continuous casting machine, small billet continuous casting machine, large billet continuous casting machine, round billet continuous casting machine, shaped section continuous casting machine and thin billet continuous casting machine. In the billet continuous casting machine also includes rectangular billet continuous casting machine, usually casting section or equivalent section area greater than 200 × 200mm billet called billet, section or equivalent section area less than 160 × 160mm billet called billet, width to thickness ratio greater than 3 rectangular billet called slab.
