Influence of calcium consumption and content on the quality of 10KhSND steel made from continuously cast slabs

Abstract

The effect of calcium consumption during out-of-furnace processing and its content in the finished metal on the quality of sheet steel grade 10KhSND, obtained from continuously cast slabs, has been studied. The research is based on the results of evaluating the macrostructure of slabs obtained from a continuously cast billet, as well as after testing the finished metal to determine impact strength, contamination with non-metallic inclusions, and ductile-brittle transition temperature. The paper analyzes the effect of consumption and calcium content in the metal.
