The Development of Steel Band Feeding for HSLA Heavy Plates

Feeding Steel Strip Technology in Continuous Casting Process: A Review

“…When the strip narrow side toward the nozzle, it shows a small disturbance to the flow field. Meantime, the steel strip exhibits a faster melting speed, Habu et al [16] 1981 I 0.5-1.0 0.2-1.0 5-15 -Nosochenko et al [17] 2003 III ---Strip composition Isaev [18,24] 2005, 2016 III 1.5-3.0 -5-20 -Li et al [31] 2007 I 5-9 0.1-0.2 10-50 -Li et al [25] 2011 II 3.0-14.6 0.025 10-50 -Xie et al [28] 2018 I -0.055-0.077 -Feeding method Niu et al [29,30,41] 2018, 2019, 2020 I 2.0-4.0 0.1-0.3 10-50 Feeding method Reproduced with permission.

“…[25] 3) Steel strip feeding into continuous casting mold. [17,18,24] For category I, h is defined to predict the melting behavior of the steel strip. For category II/III, strips were immersed in lowvelocity molten steel/continuous casting mold for a fixed time and then lifting strips to measure the morphology of strips.…”

“…On the premise of matching the composition of the slab, the strip melting point should be lower than the temperature of molten steel to ensure the complete melting of strips. Nosochenko et al [17] and Isaev et al [24] investigate the melting behavior of Reproduced with permission. [30] Copyright 2020, Springer Nature.…”

“…Melting condition of strips with different carbon contents. [17,24] strips with a thickness of 1.2-1.8 mm. [18] Figure 7 shows the evolution of strip thickness with different d 0 .…”

“…For the next 40 years, scholars carried out pilot tests and applied this technology in some steelworks. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] They observed that excessive feeding ratio R would deteriorate the inner quality of slabs, and the semi-melting strip is the principal reason for this deterioration. Therefore, parameters affecting the strip melting behavior and R became the research emphasis.…”
