Molten steel testing equipment plays a vital role in the steel production process. They can monitor the key parameters of molten steel in real time to ensure the stability of the production process and product quality.
In the pretreatment of molten iron, molten steel testing equipment can be used to monitor the temperature and composition of molten iron. By accurately measuring the temperature of molten iron, it can ensure the smooth progress of fine treatment processes such as desulfurization and slag removal, and provide high-quality molten iron for subsequent converter steelmaking. At the same time, component analysis helps to adjust the supply and demand balance between blast furnace and converter, and achieve uniform mixing of components and balanced control of temperature.
Converter is the core equipment in modern steel production, and its steelmaking process requires strict control of the temperature and composition of molten steel. Molten steel testing equipment can monitor the temperature changes of molten steel in the converter in real time, helping operators to adjust the amount of oxygen blowing and the amount of coolant used in time to ensure that the temperature of molten steel is in the optimal range. In addition, the equipment can quickly analyze the composition of molten steel and guide the addition of alloy materials to meet the specific composition requirements of different steel grades.
Refining outside the furnace is a key link to improve the quality of molten steel, broaden the product range and optimize the metallurgical process. In this process, molten steel testing equipment also plays an important role. They can accurately measure the temperature and composition changes of molten steel during the refining process, helping operators to adjust the refining conditions in time, such as temperature, time, type and quantity of additives, to achieve the expected refining effect.
Continuous casting is the process of continuously casting molten steel into billets, which requires extremely high temperature and liquid level control of molten steel. In the continuous casting process, molten steel testing equipment is mainly used to monitor the liquid level of the tundish and molten pool crystallizer to prevent overflow and leakage accidents caused by improper liquid level control. At the same time, the equipment can also monitor the temperature of molten steel in real time to ensure that the molten steel maintains proper fluidity during the casting process, so as to obtain high-quality billets.
In the steel rolling process, although molten steel testing equipment is not directly used in the rolling process of billets, it still plays an important role in the early preparation stage. For example, when heating billets in a heating furnace, the equipment can monitor the temperature in the furnace to ensure that the billets reach the appropriate rolling temperature. In addition, during the rolling process, the rolling quality of the steel billet and the operating status of the equipment can be indirectly evaluated by real-time monitoring of parameters such as rolling force and rolling temperature.
In the entire steel production process, the temperature of molten steel is a crucial parameter. Whether it is molten iron pretreatment, converter steelmaking, refining outside the furnace or continuous casting and rolling processes, the temperature of molten steel needs to be strictly controlled. Molten steel testing equipment provides operators with important reference information by real-time monitoring of the temperature changes of molten steel, helping them to adjust production parameters in time to ensure the stability of the production process and product quality.
In addition to temperature monitoring, molten steel testing equipment can also quickly analyze the composition of molten steel. This is crucial to ensure the quality and performance of steel products. By real-time monitoring of the composition changes of molten steel, operators can adjust the amount and type of alloy materials added in time to meet the specific needs of different customers for steel products. At the same time, the equipment can also be used for quality traceability and process control, helping steel companies to achieve refined and intelligent management of the production process.
