| 要旨 : 水島製鉄所第１製鋼工場に設置された2基のブルーム連鋳機により高級線棒および継目無鋼管用素材の連鋳を進めてきた。第１連鋳機は昭和43年に稼働し，8ストランドで200×220〜250×300mmの4サイズのブルームを鋳造している。また昭和48年に稼働した第3連鋳機は，ビームブランクおよびブルームの兼用機であり，ブルームサイズは高級鋼の鋳造を目的として，300×400mm，240×400mmの大断面モールドを採用した。高級鋼に連鋳法を適用するにあたり，ひび割れ，気泡欠陥，表層直下の内部割れ，非金属介在物，中心偏析などの鋳片欠陥が問題となったが，モールドパウダー，冷却水，溶鋼温度などの操業条件の検討によりこれら欠陥は解消され，高級鋼の工程的連続鋳造を達成した。 |
| Synopsis : The No.1 Steelmaking Shop of Mizushima Works has in operation two unique units of continuous bloom casters; one being an 8-strand curved type caster with mold size ranging from 200×220mm to 250×300mm, having been in service since 1968 as the biggest of its kind at that time with high productivity, and the other a 4-strand curved type caster that was commissioned in 1973 and produces not only blooms but also beam blanks for H-shapes. Blooms cast in the latter extend 300×400mm and 240×400mm in cross section with beam blank 120×400×460mm in web thickness, flange width and web height, respectively. Such largeness of blooms offer great advantage in quaranteeing the reliability of products, especially the internal quality of high grade steels such as for machine structural use, piano wire, steel tire cord, seamless tubes and so on. As a result of positive efforts promoted using these two casters in applying CC-process to killed steel in recent years, almost all the steel grades of bars, wire rods, round billets and structural shapes can be produced through CC-process at present. During the application of CC-process, various problems had to be faced; surface defects such as hot shortness cracks, pinholes, subsurface cracks, slag inclusions, center segregation and non-metallic inclusions. These defects have, however, all been solved by suitable countermeasures, details of which are reported in the paper. |
