Updated Research Result on Transverse Corner Crack of Slab

Abstract:

To introduce feature and microstructure of edge crack of rolled coil, character and distribution of transverse corner crack of continuous cast slab (hereafter referred to as transverse corner crack), trace out rolling process of defective continuous cast slab, transverse corner crack of slab causes edge crack of rolled coil, the corner inclusions of slab and rolling process are also significant factors. To give some suggestions to resolve two dimensional heat transfer and high cooling intensity about control of transverse corner cracks. Inclusions cause stress concentration to lead to edge cracks of coils. Edge cracks of coils are related to transverse corner cracks of slabs, but not an exact one-for-one relation. Tiny transverse corner cracks may be removed by scarfing or furnace. Uneven or low temperature of the edge of rolled piece cause uneven extension of edge metal to form “fold”, namely “edge filament”. By research and practice, the quality of slab has been substantially improved in Shougang Qiangang.
