Continuous casting and rolling technology is an advanced metal processing technology that combines continuous casting and continuous rolling. It is widely used in steel, non-ferrous metals and other industries.
Continuous casting: Liquid metal is injected into a water-cooled crystallizer through a steel ladle. The liquid metal is rapidly cooled and solidified in the crystallizer to form a billet with a certain shape and size. With the vibration of the crystallizer and the continuous descent of the billet, the liquid metal is continuously replenished, so that the billet is continuously solidified and formed.
Continuous rolling: After the billet is pulled out from the bottom of the crystallizer, it directly enters the rolling mill for continuous rolling. During the rolling process, pressure is applied to the billet through multiple rollers to cause it to undergo plastic deformation and gradually rolled into the desired finished product shape and size, such as plates, wires, pipes, etc.
