包晶微合金钢连铸坯表层原奥氏体晶粒生长行为及高塑化控制研究

The slab surface of peritectic micro-alloyed steel forms coarse prior austenite grains during solidification would result in the slab occur cracks especially for corners, which has become one of the common problems for continuously casting the steel. It is significant to study the coarse prior austenite grains formation mechanism and improve the surface hot ductility in the casting strand. In the present study, the growth behaviors of primary fine columnar grains and austenite grains aggregated from multi-γ fine columnar grains during peritectic phase transformation in continuous casting mold will be studied, and the action laws of Ti and its precipitation on the primary fine columnar grains microscopic solidification and the refinement mechanism of prior austenite grains will be systematically investigated especially. Accordingly, the formation mechanism of coarse prior austenite grains at slab surface and the mechanism of grain refinement by using Ti treatment will be comprehensively revealed. On the basis of this, the behaviors of grains restructuring refinement and microstructure transformation of austenite grains at slab surface will be further studied by coupling the effects of cooling condition of multi-phase transformation and the precipitation of the carbides and nitrides of micro-alloys (e.g. Ti and Nb) at high temperature. The industrial trials will also be carried out correspondingly. The theory and application foundation would be laid for the new technology development and application of peritectic micro-alloyed steel slab corner cracks control.
