Реферат | Continuous cast slabs obtained on curvilinear casting machine have an asymmetric macrostructure with reference to their wide faces. This asymmetry is associated with a different coefficient of heat transfer when feeding water from above and from below to wide faces with a small and large radius, respectively. In such complex asymmetric thermo-physical and hydrodynamic conditions of solidification, a centerline segregation of the slab is formed. Slab centerline segregation may be narrow or wide dependent upon the development of the above-mentioned processes. To reveal the slab centerline segregation, the samples were etched with a 15 % aqueous solution of ammonium persulphate for 10–30 minutes. The images of the slab centerline segregation structure and their evaluation were obtained using the Thixomet Pro image analyzer. A wide segregation zone in a slab always leads to a high class of centerline segregation in the plate at any volume fraction of segregation spots in the slab central zone. In the absence of a wide slab centerline segregation, the class of plate centerline segregation is linearly increased with an increase of the volume fraction of segregation spots in the narrow slab centerline segregation. |
