Steel Section Production Methods

Hot rolled sections are characterized by large production scale, high efficiency, low energy consumption and low cost. Rolling sections uaually applies the following methods: Ordinary rolling method The 2-hi or 3-hi mill produces steel section, its pass pattern is made of the groove of the two rollers, can produce simple, shaped and longitudinal rolling cycle section section steel.…

Tundish and Refractory Material

Tundish is an important equipment for continuous casting process, its refractory lining mainly includes heat insulation layer, permanent layer and working layer. (1) The main function of the insulation layer is thermal insulation, usually with asbestos board insulation bricks or light castables, aluminium silicate fibre mats, and nano-microporous insulation boards plus…

Octagonal Casting Billet

The geometrical characteristics of the octagonal billet lie between those of a square cross section and a round cross section, with the respective advantages of a square billet and a round billet,  the billet leaving the mould has excellent structural rigidity and can significantly restrain the bulging deformation of the shell. Because of…

Unshaped Reasons of Wire Coil

The main reasons for the poor circle formation of wire out of the laying head are as follows. (1) Too much tension between mills (2) There is a deviation on water-cooled section alignment, nozzle conduit is worn to cause the unstable operation of the mill. (3) Roll ring of pinch roller is worn badly. Inappropriate clamping force of the…

Quality Control of HRC Surface

The entrapped slag is one of the main defects on the surface of ultra-low carbon steel hot-rolled coil, the overall macroscopic morphology of the defect is black color or black – white  strip, and there is obvious difference with the base sheet, intermittent distribution along the rolling direction, the length varies, often accompanied by warping…

Steel Industry Rolls Out New Standards

On 25 February 2023, the China Iron and Steel Industry Association (CISA) issued 15 group standards, including “Technical Requirements for Intelligent Factory Central Control in the Iron and Steel Industry”, covering areas such as intelligent manufacturing in the iron and steel industry, steel plates, refractory materials, “leader” evaluation requirements, etc.…
