Billet defects pinhole and blowhole formation, prevention and evolutionJorge Madias
Pin holes as a surface defect, and blow holes as an inner defect, occur in billet / bloom / beam blank casting, particularly for Si-Mn killed steel cast with metering nozzle and oil lubrication. If they are present in abundance or have a large size, they may originate defects in the rolled products. Their characteristics, factors behind their formation, as well as usual processing conditions that promote their occurrence are discussed. Finally, the evolution of these defects during reheating and rolling is analyzed, with industrial examples.

End splitting during long products rolling billet quality of rolling processJorge Madias
End splitting occurs because the material being rolled has not enough ductility to withstand the stress to which it is submitted. This may happens for different reasons. Coarse cracks in the billet end, like central or diagonal cracks, weakens the end, particularly when the plane where are located coincides in part with the symmetry plane between rolls. Hot ductility of steel depends on the one hand of their intrinsic features, and on the other hand, on the temperature at which they suffer the stress, and its speed.
It is important to roll the steel within the range of higher ductility at a given deformation speed. This is more critical for steels with inherent low ductility as those containing high sulfur.
The role of MnS stringers is also clear; having S controlled at the lower level of the specification is favorable. Nevertheless it is worth to mention that if caster condition is proper and excessive thermal/mechanical stresses do not arise, very high Mn/S ratio is not necessary.
Bar ends loss temperature faster. Another factor is roll cooling, it has to be correctly oriented, not excessive and keeping the position along the processing time.
In other factors experimental and modeling results are apparently controversial. There is coincidence in the fact that more friction between bar and rolls promotes splitting, but not in factors like roll diameter and reduction.
On the basis of pilot rolling results, plane, box-box, square to round and oval to round passes are favorable to avoid splitting, while oval to square promotes splitting.
Steel production has evolved over many centuries and new technological improvements are being made daily. The making, shaping and treating of steel are critical to product design, application, cost and performance. Therefore, knowledge of these processes is essential to employees working in producing, supplying and designing iron and steel products. These employees need basic understanding of steel production, making, shaping and treatment to final products. This course will be an introductory journey for those who have non technical background in metallurgical engineering. It is hoped after taking this course; the participants will understand the technical aspects of steel manufacturing, properties and applications.

Route: Primary Route uses Blast Furnace / Basic Oxygen Furnace for steel making, which is a traditional route of steel making. Iron Ore and Coke is main raw material in this process, leading to high Carbon emission in environment. While on the other side Secondary route uses Electric Arc Furnace / Induction furnace for steel making and uses Scrap, Pig Iron and Sponge Iron (HBI /DRI) as key raw materials. Steel produced by Primary route accounted for around 70% of global production and the rest through Secondary route, however after realizing the environmental impact and stringent guidelines laid by Kyoto protocol question arises of “How To Lower Iron and Steel making Carbon Emission”.
billet, rod, or tube are continuous cast, defined
as the continuous solidification and withdrawal
of product from an open-ended shaping mold.
Methods include both vertical and horizontal
casting, depending on product size, shape, and
volume. Casting vertically has certain inherent
technical advantages. The symmetry of cooling
promotes a uniform and predictable solidification
growth pattern and uniform axial loading
on the freshly solidified shell as it is withdrawn
from the mold. In tube or hollow section casting,
the vertical process has particular merit.
The disadvantages of vertical casting are
mostly logistic: difficulty in handling long
lengths of section; cut-off can be more difficult
to engineer and control; and it is generally a
semicontinuous operation. Horizontal casting
requires lower capital investment, is compatible
with lower production rates, and is a continuous
operation.
This article briefly reviews the history and
methods of copper alloy continuous casting;
the information is drawn from the very detailed
and extensive coverage of the subject in Ref 1
and the numerous publications of equipment
supply companies such as Rautomead, SMS
Meer, and so on
The presentation is covered from history to advancements, from defects to their remedies. A little background study is needed to understand the presentation.

3. Earlier 1950s steel was poured into stationary
moulds to form ‘ingots’ since then “continuous
casting” has evolved to achieve improved yield,
quality, productivity & cost efficiency
Continuous casting may be defined as teeming of
liquid metal in short mould with a false bottom
through which partially solidified ingot
(billet ,bloom or slab) is continuously withdrawn at
the same rate at which metal is poured in the mould.
Which are subsequently rolled to get finished
products.
4. Three main types of machines are in use in practice
namely
Vertical mould
Vertical mould with bending
Curved mould or S-type
5. This type of mould is very
tall and hence needs either a
tall shop or a large pit to
accommodate the equipments.
The problem is acute if high
casting speed are employed
& consequence longer cooling
zone is required.
Used for large and medium sections
It is easy to repair and restart the machine.
6. It is a modification over the vertical design to reduce
the overall height of the machine.
The roller apron and pinch rolls are similar to those
in vertical machine.
After the product emerges from the pinch rolls it is
bent to obtain the discharge horizontal.
A horizontal set of straightening rolls becomes
necessary.
Heavy sections being difficult to bend .
30% height is saved by this design.
7.
8. This is the latest design now almost universally
adopted for continuous casting of almost all sections
like billets, blooms and slabs.
Characteristics-
The mould is itself curved mould.
The strands comes out of the mould in curvilinear
fashion with a fixed radius.
It is bent before entire cross-section is solidified.
The curved strand is in fact straightened after it is
fully solidified.
10. Ladle
Tundish
Mould
Dummy bar
Roller apron
Withdrawal rolls
Bending and straightening rolls
Cooling sprays
Cutting devices
Auxiliary electrical and/or mechanical gears to help
run the machine smoothly.
11. Ladle & turret-
Steel from EAF or BOF is tapped into a ladle and
taken to the continuous casting platform.
The ladle is raised into a turret that rotate the ladle
into the casting position above the tundish
12. Tundish-
Shroud
Turbo blower
Mono block Stopper rod
SEN
It is a container which collects liquid steel from ladle
through shroud.
Here a turbo blower is fixed which converts the turbulant
flow of liquid steel to laminar flow.
Then by opening the stopper rod metal flows through the
submerged entry nozzle.
13.
14. Mould
It is made of copper, copper & silver(cu 99.95%) due to
its high thermal conductivity.
Nickel plate is used inside the mould to protect the
mould wall from eroding.
Mould of 220mm to 300mm thick and 2500mm wide
900mm height is used.
Now a days the mould width is decreased at any time
when required during casting.
4500 -5000 ltrs/min of water is flow through the mould.
Life of the mould is about 1000 heats.
15.
16. Dummy bar-
To begin with, the bottom of the mould is temporarily
Closed by what is known as dummy bar.
It lead the product through the roller apron and
withdrawal rolls.
The head of dummy bar is supposed to nearly close
the bottom of the mould and whatever gap is left is
packed with asbestos to obtain a temporarily fully
closed bottom of the mould.
17. Withdrawal rolls-
These are one or two pairs of rolls meant to finally grip
the ingot and pull it out at a pre fixed rate without
deforming the product.
The pressure exerted by rolls on product should neither
be excessive to cause deformation nor less to allow
slip.
Bending & straightening rolls-
Single bending roller is used in vertical mould with
horizontal discharge machine.
In s-type machine multi point bending rollers are
used.
A straightening roller table is provided for straighten
the product.
18. Cutting devices-
Torch cutter with 4 torches(two for normal cutting
& two for sample cutting in line)
Oxy-fuel cutter is used , where LPG or acetylene
are used as fuel.

21. To start a cast the mould bottom is sealed by a
steel dummy bar which is held in place
hydraulically by the straightener withdrawal units.
The gap between the mould bottom and the
dummy bar head is filled by asbestos. After that
chiller & steel rods are provided for rapid
solidification of the steel and it stick to the dummy
bar head.
The steel is partially solidified in mould and
producing a steel strand with a solid outer shell
and a liquid core.
22. In this primary cooling area once the steel shell has a
sufficient thickness about 10-20mm, the straightener
withdrawal units are started and proceeds to
withdraw the partially solidified strand out of the
mould along with the dummy bar. Liquid steel
continues to pour into the mould to replenish the
withdrawn steel at an equal rate.
The withdrawal rate depends on the cross-section,
grade, quality of steel being produced and may vary
from 30 cm to 100cm per minute.
Casting time is typically 45 minutes to 90 minutes
per heat to avoid excessive ladle heat losses.
23. Open exiting the mould the strands enters a roller
containment section and secondary cooling chamber
in which the solidifying strand is sprayed with water
to promote solidification. This area preserves cast
shape integrity and product quality.
Once the strand is fully solidified and has passed
through the straightener withdrawal units the
dummy bar is disconnected. Following the
straightener the strand is cut into individual pieces of
the following as-cast products: slabs, blooms, billets,
rounds or beam blanks depending on machine
design.
24. Mould stroke in the range of 5-10 mm.
Frequency of stroke , which is 150-200/min
Casting speed normally in the range of
2m/min
Negative strip time .1-.2 sec
Total cycle time of the order of .3-.4 sec
Positive strip time .15-.3% of cycle time
Powder consumption in the range of .17-
.40kg/m2 of strand area.
25.
26.
27. Break out
Edge cracks
Longitudinal cracks
Primary scales
Random surface defects arising due to fluctuations of
surfaces
Variations in width
Non-uniform thickness and flatness
Non-uniform microstructure in either direction
Segregation
Slag particle sticking the surface- entrapment of lubricant
slag particle at the surface.
30. Sprue, runner, riser etc. are not used. Hence ,
no waste metal this leads to casting yield.
Process is automatic
Product has good consistent soundness.
Mechanical properties are very high and very
reproducible.
31. Not suitable for small quantity production.
Continuous and efficient cooling of mould is
required, else, centre line shrinkage develops.
Requires large floor space.
32. Continuous casting has evolved from a batch
process into a sophisticated continuous process.
This transformation has occurred through
understanding principle of mechanical design ,
heat transfer , steel metallurgical properties and
stress strain relationships, to produce a product
with excellent shape and quality.
In recent year the process has been optimized
through careful integration of electro-mechanical
sensors, computer-controls, & planning to provide
a highly automated system designed for new
millenia.
