The rolling line of each stand should align in the same straight line so that is the production can normally work. If there is light offset of stand rolling line, the guide could be damage caused by uneven wear of the hole pattern; serious offset can directly cause the accident of steel stacking. The meaning…
After pickling the surface of continuous casting billet, it was found that there were mesh cracks on the surface of the billet, and the depth was up to 5mm. What causes the mesh cracks? The main reasons are: (1) The surface of the high temperature casting billet absorbs the copper…
Events Reasons Solutions 1 Rolled parts not bitten into the rolls and steels stacked The end part of a billet is forked To pick out unqualified billet The guide isn’t installed properly To Reinstall the guide The rolling piece in the guide orgroove is blocked To remove away obstructive Not polish new groove after replacenew groove. To polish new groove andregulate the rolling speed 2 Steels piled after the rolling piece have been bitten into the rolls The speed of rolling piece isn’t right. Correctly setting the speed Roll diameter input error To input the correct rolldiameter Tension setting is too small afterchanging rolls and grooves Increase the tension settingappropriately Incomplete grinding after changingnew groove Further grinding of the rolls 3 Steel stackeddue to steel jamming between rolls Motor overload,overspeed,and dropout Check steel temperature,roll size,rolling speed and electrical faults 4 Flying shear 1#,2#steel stacking Flying shear overrun speed is toolow Increase the overrun speedof flying shear Flying shear does not cut the head Check power supply,hotmetal detector Shear blade aging or poor overlap Replace shear blade,adjustoverlap Interrupt flying shear action Checking hot metaldetectors…
The furnace chamber, located above the hearth of an electric arc furnace, is the volume enclosed by the water-cooled panels. This region is essential for charging operations and for completing various metallurgical processes. Like the hearth, the furnace chamber often has a truncated cone shape. Furnace Wall Inclination and Height…
In electric arc furnace design, the hearth refers to the lower section of the furnace that holds the molten steel during melting. This area plays a critical role in both metallurgical performance and structural integrity. Hearth Shape and Geometry Typically, the hearth is designed with a spherical bottom and a…
Heavy shock load If the shock load of the fixed-size machine is too large, it may choose a frequency conversion motor for greatly reducing the impact load, adjusting the speed of the rollers through the frequency converter, and can control speed and stopping with a grating detection installed on both…
The roof of an electric arc furnace is typically designed in an arched, dome-like shape. Depending on the furnace type and size, the weight of the roof can vary significantly—but it is generally very heavy. For example, the roof of a 5-ton brick-lined electric arc furnace may weigh nearly 5…
On Jun. 16th, 2025, Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group (SME Group) held the grand opening ceremony of its new regional office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This milestone marks a new chapter in SME Group’s long-term commitment to the African market, especially in supporting the metallurgical and steel industries across the continent.…
(1) Higher descaling pressure Increasing the descaling pressure can improve the descaling effect, now the descaling pressure can reach 18-22MPa, or even higher. (2) High pressure and high flow rate descaling pumps At the beginning of high-pressure water descaling, piston pumps were used, with low pump pressure, small flow rate…
In electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, the “power level” refers to the rated transformer capacity allocated per ton of steel. Essentially, it indicates how much electrical energy (in kVA) is provided for melting each ton of steel. This metric is a key indicator of the furnace’s technical capability and has…
