Formation mechanism of linear defects on edge of continuous casting and rolling coil

Edge linear defects in hot rolled coils are related to defects in continuous casting slab, rolling process and equipment, etc., resulting in difficulties in determining defect origin process and effective control of the edge linear defects. In order to ascertain the formation mechanism of linear defects, scanning electron microscope, optical microscope and pickling were used to characterize the typical linear defects and characteristics of cracks in slab edges and corners of the hot-rolled sheet of a company′s Q355 and Q235 steel hot-rolled plates. The results show that the surface and cross section of the linear defect contain Ca, Si, and K and Na components in mold flux of continuous casting, with iron oxide/inclusion layers, thick oxide dot layers and high temperature oxidation characteristics such as decarburization and grain growth, in addition, Q235 continuous casting slab has corner cracks. Therefore, the mold flux inclusions/subcutaneous inclusions of slabs formed in continuous casting mold are the main causes of linear defects in hot-rolled coils;and the differences of these defect characteristics such as surface width, crack extension depth, and inclination angle of linear defects, mainly relate to the thickness of the rolled product and the depth of the transverse cracks at the corners. The key countermeasures of controlling linear defects in hot-rolled coils is to optimize the liquid steel level control of the continuous casting mold, the viscosity of the mold flux, and the secondary cooling process, in order to reduce the incidence of subcutaneous inclusions and cracks at the corners of the continuous casting slab.
