    Abstract:

    By using the method of the thermal simulation experiments and energy spectrum analysis, this paper has studied the influence of the cooling rates and the initial temperature of liquid steel on full equiaxed crystallization behavior in solidification of 40Cr steel strand. The results show that the full equiaxed grain can be gained when the proper cooling rate was adopted, when the cooling rate in the surface of corundum crucible is increased from 3.83 oC/min to 8.6 oC/min, the average grain size of solidification structure is decreased from 8.76 mm2 to 2.01 mm2, and the distribution of chromium elements in the half height cross-section of specimen is uniform, the maximum difference of microsegregation rate is decreased from 0.274to 0.181. With the initial temperature of liquid steel increasing, the average grain size of 40Cr steel increases, when the initial temperature of liquid steel is increased from 1496¡æ to 1508¡æ, the average grain size of solidification structure is increased from 2.01 mm2 to 5.10 mm2, the influence of the initial temperature of liquid steel on the microsegregation of chromium is not significant. These results may provide some experimental basis for the analysis of the solidification behavior and influence factors in the central region of the continuous casting for chromium steel.
