Improvement of carbon segregation in cast bloom and heredity in hot-rolled bar
2021
In this study, the effect of mechanical soft reduction on carbon segregation in the continuous casting of 300 × 400 mm 42CrMo alloy structural steel blooms was comparatively investigated by adjusting the casting speed, which was systematically optimized through numerical simulation. When the casting speed is 0.60 m · min−1 , during the soft reduction process, the central solidification structure of the bloom becomes dense, and carbon segregation is improved. Moreover, the distribution of carbon in the samples before and after rolling was analyzed. Combined with the soft reduction process, the uniformity of carbon across the cross section of the bloom /bar distinctly improved for casting speeds of 0.50 m · min−1 , 0.55 m · min−1 and 0.60 m · min−1 , this was predominantly reflected in the core areas. The effective segregation length proportion of the bloom and rolled bar is approximately 40%. This phenomenon fully verifies the heredity characteristics of the elements in the rolling process.
