Abstract
The aim of the work is to develop a model of the deformation-stressed state of a continuous-cast billet, taking into account its behavior in the continuous casting machine line. A new physical model of the ingot crust bending process in the inter-roller gap has been proposed. The model is based on the regularities of the change in the deformed state of the surface of the crust under the action of ferrostatic pressure. It is established that the crust undergoes a cyclic alternating deformation in the process of moving it across the inter-roller gap. It is shown that the surface of the crust comes into contact with the surface of the roller before approaching the inter-roller gap. This causes the appearance of an anomalous area with a constant curvature of the crust at the final stage of its buckling. The second anomalous deformation zone of the ingot crust is the junction zone of the previous crust and the subsequent inter-roller gap, where the crust instantly changes its curvature. In combination with the flat scheme of the stress-strain state, a physical model is presented, which makes it possible to identify in each of the inter-roller gaps the zone of maximum values of the tensile strain rate. Identifying the zone of maximum values of the tensile strain indicator and comparing it with the maximum allowable one allows determining and correcting the length of the inter-roller gaps of the continuous casting machine.
