Formation of Phosphorous Surface Inverse Segregation in Twin-Roll Cast Strips of Low-Carbon Steels

 The formation of phosphorous surface inverse segregation (SIS) in twin-roll cast strips of low-carbon steels was studied. High phosphorous strips were fabricated by using a pilot twin-roll strip caster and a melt/substrate contacting apparatus, respectively. Solidification structures of strips were observed and analyzed, and phosphorus distributions along longitudinal sections of strips were investigated and discussed. The results showed that solidification structures of all strips were columnar grains, either integrated or coarse in the strip made by the melt/substrate contacting apparatus or damaged in some degree in cast strips; and that during cast strip solidification, enrichment of phosphorus occurred between columnar grains, and the average phosphorus concentration near the surface in the strip with 015% of phosphorus was measured to be about 027% which was obviously higher than that in the bulk.     

Numerical Simulation of Filling Process During Twin-Roll Strip Casting

The modeling and controlling of flow and solidification of melt metal in the filling process is important for obtaining the optimal pool level and the formation of the solidified metal layer on the surface of twin-rolls during the twin-roll strip casting. The proper delivery system and processing parameters plays a key role to control flow characteristics in the initial filling stage of the twin-roll strip casting process. In this paper, a commercial CFD software was employed to simulate the transient fluid flow, heat transfer, and solidifications behaviors during the pouring stage of twin-roll strip casting process using different delivery systems. A 3D model was set up to solve the coupled set of governing differential equations for mass, momentum, and energy balance. The transient free-surface problem was treated with the volume of fluid approach, a k–? turbulence model was employed to handle the turbulence effect and an enthalpy method was used to predict phase change during solidification. The predicted results showed that a wedge-shaped delivery system might have a beneficial impact on the distribution of molten steel and solidification. The predicted surface profile agreed well with the measured values in water model.     

Analysis of surface microcracks in low-carbon steel produced via twin-roll strip casting

In this study,morphological and microstructural analyses were conducted on net-shaped microcracks appearing on the surface of low-carbon steel manufactured via twin-roll strip casting. The fractograph and microscale distribution of elements in the cracked region were also analyzed. Results revealed that the cracked surfaces were characterized by slight pits,along with inclusions composed of manganese and silicon oxide distributed along both the sides of the cracks. Fractograph analysis revealed that the crack and smooth dendrite surfaces were oxidized. These phenomena indicate that microcracks on the cast strip surface form at the hightemperature stage of the solidification process during twin-roll casting and rolling. Microcracks were present in each region with pits in the cast strip and extended along the dendrite interface because of the combined effects of phasechange stress,thermal stress,mechanical stress,and fractional crystallization during the solidification process.

Solidification modelling of microstructure in twin-roller thin strip casting of stainless steels

The influence of process parameters on the dendritic microstructure of thin strips cast by the twin-roll method is analyzed in the framework of a one-dimensional solidification model and compared with experimental results. As a relevant characteristic the secondary dendrite arm spacing Λ₂ as a function of the distance x from the roll surface is investigated. The difference between the local dendrite arm spacing near the strip surface and the strip centre, respectively, increases with the strip thickness and only depends on the casting temperature to a small extent. An increase in the strip/roller heat transfer coefficient due to a rising casting velocity or possibly enhanced roll-separating forces leads to a decrease in the dendrite arm spacing. The effect of a sudden decrease in heat transfer during the solidification process, on the Λ₂(x) characteristics, e.g. by a local separation of the solidified shell from the roller surface, is discussed.     

The microstructures of strip-cast low-carbon steels and their response to thermal processing

The as-cast microstructure and its modification when subjected to heat treatment is examined for strip-cast low carbon steels. The local solidification rate in the twin-roll strip casting process is estimated to. be 590 to 850 °C/s, and the primary and secondary dendrite arm spacings are approximately 17 to 25 and 10 μm, respectively. The as-cast structure is predominantly Widmanstätten ferrite and, thereby, differs from the conventional hot-rolled sheet. It is suggested that the as-cast morphology is a result of the large initial austenite grain size and the cooling rate and is not a unique characteristic of rapid solidification of strip casting. By restricting the austenite grain size and cooling rate, polygonal ferrite morphology probably can be produced during strip casting. The response to heat treatment depends on the presence of aluminum; with a moderate amount of aluminum, the A1N precipitates in the as-cast structure inhibit the subsequent grain boundary movement and may affect the subsequent recrystallization behavior.
