Application of the Dynamic Soft-Reduction Technology on the No.4 Slab Continuous Caster of Bayi Steel

Abstract:

The revamping & upgrading work has been done smoothly for the old soft-reduction system of the No.4 slab continuous caster in Bayi steel, as a result, all the segments (include both arc segments and level segments ) now have the dynamic soft-reduction function, which have been put into the industrial application successfully. Through the production practice, we can see that, after the revamping project, the dynamic soft-reduction function could be applied normally both in the arc segments and in the level segments for the No.4 slab caster, the whole soft-reduction process has been conducted steady and smoothly, the precision of roll gap control is good, the L2 model always makes an exact trace for the casting process and has the advanced algorithm, the L1 program has the reasonable control function and the reliable execution. When the soft-reduction action was executed in the unbending segment (Seg.7), there was no internal crack taking place for all the slabs, and the internal quality of slab such as center segregation was improved obviously, which had shown the metallurgical effect of the dynamic soft-reduction technology fully.
