SME Group provides customizing steelmaking-CCM solutions according to the different specifications of customers’ required billet, slab and bloom, etc.
During the continuous casting process, the high-temperature molten steel is continuously poured into one or a group of water-cooled copper crystallizers, and the molten steel is gradually solidified into billet shells around the crystallizer. When the liquid steel level rises to a certain height and the billet solidifies to a certain thickness, the billet is pulled out by a straightening machine, and the billet is completely solidified by spraying water in the secondary cooling zone. The billet is cut to a length by a cutting device according to the requirements of steel rolling.
Continuous casting machines can be divided into many types according to the structure and process. Common continuous casting machines include vertical continuous casting machine, bending continuous casting machine, horizontal continuous casting machine and so on. Vertical continuous casting machine is the most common one, its structure is simple, suitable for the production of thicker slab. The curved continuous casting machine can produce a wide slab, suitable for special needs production. Horizontal continuous casting machines are suitable for slab production where high surface quality is required. These different types of continuous casting machines have a wide range of applications in industries such as steel and non-ferrous metals, and can meet the production needs of different materials and specifications.
Slab continuous casting is a technology of continuous casting steel with slab as the main product. The slab whose width to thickness ratio is greater than 3 is called slab. Continuous casting steel slab is mainly used for rolling flat plate (thick plate, medium plate, sheet, strip coil). Generally, the slab size cast by continuous casting machine is: thickness 150 ~ 250mm, width 1000 ~ 1800mm; The slab can be 600mm wide and 120mm thick. Thin slab with a thickness of less than 100mm.
Continuous casting machine provided by SME Group will completely satisfy the requirements of customers and the conditions of existing production lines of customers.
