Influence of processing parameters on slab stickers during continuous casting
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this study, the parameters of 44 sticker breakout samples were analysed. The research mainly focused on the steel grades and slab thickness of stickers. Other processing parameters, such as slab width, casting speed, mould fluctuation, heat flux and operation, were also discussed. The results show that the number of stickers of low carbon steel and low alloy steel was 16 and 28, respectively. The stickers of low carbon steel were less than those of low alloy steel regardless of the thickness and width. The ratio of stickers per 1,000 casting heats of 220, 260 and 320 mm thickness slabs was 2.5, 0.5 and 0.6, respectively. The higher casting speed of 220 mm thickness slabs made the casting status unsteady and caused more stickers. From the perspective of width, the stickers were gradually increased along with the increase in width due to the worse mould slag. This study provides a foundation to reduce slab stickers and is helpful for a more efficient technology of continuous casting.
