Abstract
Application of vibration impact at the outer arc side of a billet with a central linear liquid fraction of 25% -35% at 9.5 m from the meniscus. The results show that the impact vibration with low frequency and high impact energy can not only reduce the central porosity degree of the billet from 1.532 to 1.169, but also compact the liquid core, improve the central porosity and promote the heterogeneous nucleation of the molten pool. High frequency and low impact energy can not only increase the proportion of mixed crystal zone by about 8 %, but also reduce the central carbon segregation index from 1.08 to 1.04. Meanwhile, the two kinds of impact vibrations increase the area ratio of the central carbon segregation index in the range of 0.95-1.05 from 56.32% to 70.26% and 80.17%, respectively, and uniform the central carbon distribution of the billet.
