Production of continuous-cast pipe blank without large nonmetallic inclusions

Аннотация

The quality of metal in continuous-cast pipe blanks is investigated, for different steel-production technologies. The presence of large nonmetallic inclusions is largely due to disruptions in the continuouscasting technology. Other significant factors are nonoptimal modification of the nonmetallic inclusions and problems in ladle treatment. Measures ensuring acceptable content of nonmetallic inclusions are developed and tested.
