Abstract  

Continuous casting is a critical process in the modern iron and steel manufacturing industry. The solidification segregation of continuously cast strands largely affects the yield rate, performance, and service life of steel products. National strategic drives have imposed increasingly stringent demands on the requirements for iron and steel materials. So, macro- and meso-scopic segregation in the solidification of continuously cast strands has become increasingly prominent as the types of alloying elements increase and strand sections continue to be enlarged. This paper elaborates the segregation distribution characteristics in the transverse and longitudinal sections of continuously cast strands and clarifies the formation mechanisms of subsurface segregation, white banding, segregation in the columnar-to-equiaxed transition region, V-shaped segregation, and central/centerline segregation. It also analyzes the generation modes of melt flow and the mechanism of solute segregation cooperatively induced by the melt flow and solidification structure. The paper further identifies the main factors influencing different types of solute segregation and introduces the technical principles and development status of electromagnetic stirring and mechanical reduction. The importance of refining the solidification microstructure for homogenization control is emphasized. Finally, the paper outlines key research directions for high-homogenization control theories and technologies for ultralarge-section continuously cast strands of high-alloy steels, providing a reference for high-quality continuous casting production of base metals for large structural components.

Key words:  continuous casting      solidification      macro- and meso-scopic segregation      formation mechanism of segregation      homogenization control      control with external field
