Stiffness Analysis and Experimental Verification of Segment Frame of Continuous Casting Machine

Abstract

To verify the stiffness, the natural vibration and the reliability of the continuous casting machine in the configuration of dynamic soft reduction. Firstly, the three-dimensional model of the segment frame was established and the finite element simulation of the structure was carried out. Then, the deviation of the roll gap in the working process of the caster was measured by analog loading test. The results show that the stiffness of the segment frame of the continuous casting machine meets the requirements. Using dynamic soft reduction can improve the centerline segregation of casting slab in the process of continuous casting, which is of important practical significance in the production practice.
