Abstract High carbon steel is prone to produce macroscopic/semi-macroscopic segregation, and C segregation along casting direction will have a serious impact on the quality of billet. Based on qualitative analysis (macroscopic quality rating and elemental macro content analysis) and relatively simple quantitative analysis (segregation index, mean square error), the existing technologies have judged the degree of segregation of billet in different levels, but with requirement of stricter quality stability standard, especially for the typical raw material of high-level rod-wire steel (e.g. 70 high carbon steel), it is very necessary to introduce a new method to measure the fluctuation characteristics more effectively. In this work, the ARMA (auto regressive moving average) model in the time series is firstly used to study the segregation degree of high carbon steel billet at different positions from the aspects of inherent period and damping rate in terms of the fluctuation characteristics (period and extremum) of C element along the casting direction. The size of the billet is 170 mm×170 mm and the sampling location is in the center longitudinal plane of the billet. The experiment is conducted by considering the effect of cooling strength (conventional cooling and strong cooling) on the fluctuation characteristics. Firstly, it is shown that the inherent period and the damping rate can quantitatively describe the inherent characteristics (periodic and extreme characteristics) of the C element along the casting direction. Secondly, strong cooling makes the average inherent period and the average damping rate of C element time series in the columnar grain region smaller, thus increasing the fluctuation degree and the segregation degree. However, strong cooling makes the average inherent period and the average damping rate of the C element time series in the equiaxed grain region larger, thus decreasing the fluctuation degree and the segregation degree. Finally, the period and the damping rate of the columnar grain region are respectively affected by the dendritic spacing and the temperature gradient, and the period and the damping rate of the equiaxed grain zone are respectively affected by the liquid flow in the solidification process (V-shaped segregation) and local cooling rate. By this research, a new theoretical basis may be supplied for delicacy control of element segregation and related quality fluctuation phenomenon.
