Crystallizer Assembly

Applications of crystallizer assembly systems

Crystallizer assemblies are deployed in multi-strand billet casters (100x100-350x350 mm), slab casters (140x300-750 mm), and round billet lines (Ø120-Ø800 mm) for steel grades from low-carbon to alloys. They handle arc radii R4000-14000 mm, enabling long campaigns in integrated mills and mini-mills producing rebar, plates, and wires. Vibration and cooling optimize shell growth, preventing sticking and cracks.

Specifications for crystallizer assembly components

Crystallizer assembly specifications include tube/plate lengths 600-1200 mm, water gaps 4-10 mm with flow >10 m/s, and oscillation modes like trapezoidal waves at 100-300 cpm. Materials feature Cu-Cr-Zr alloys (>350 W/mK conductivity), chrome plating, and rigid frames weighing <5 tons for dynamic stability. Custom designs match billet sizes and caster geometry.

Performance advantages of complete assemblies

Crystallizer assemblies boost steel throughput (300,000+ tons/year per strand) via uniform cooling, reduced inertia (95% less dynamic load), and self-lubrication, extending life >10,000 tons/tube. They cut energy use, downtime, and defects like corner cracks, suiting high-volume steel production for construction, automotive, and energy sectors.

Crystallizer Assembly Attributes

AttributeParameterDescription
Product NameCrystallizer AssemblyComplete mould assembly for continuous casting machines including copper tube/plate, water jackets, and vibration system.
ApplicationCCM billet/slab/round castingTransforms molten steel into solidified billets/slabs through rapid cooling and oscillation.
Main ComponentsCopper mould tube/plate, water jacket, flanges, vibration deviceCopper mould for heat extraction; water jacket for cooling; vibration prevents sticking.
Copper Mould TypesTube (billet/round) / Plate (slab)Tube for square/round billets; plate for slabs with funnel/parallel designs.
Supported Billet SizesSquare 100×100–350×420 mm; Round Ø120–Ø800 mmCovers standard billet ranges; slabs 140×300–750 mm.
Arc Radius CompatibilityR4000–R14000 mmMatches various CCM machine geometries and casting radii.
Cooling SystemNarrow water gap, high-speed water channelsUniform cooling avoids boiling; removes heat efficiently for shell formation.
Oscillation TypesSynchronous (rectangular), negative slide (trapezoidal), self-oscillatingVibration reduces friction, prevents cracks, and aids billet withdrawal.
Vibration FrequencyHigh precision, reduced dynamic loadSelf-oscillating design minimizes weight (95% less gravity force) for stability.
Material StandardsCu-Ag / Cu-DHP copper alloysHigh thermal conductivity with wear-resistant coatings for durability.
Service Life500–1000+ heats (assembly)Dependent on copper mould quality, cooling, and maintenance.
Key RequirementsLight weight, high rigidity, good vibration inertiaEnsures precise oscillation and structural integrity under thermal loads.
CustomizationPer steel grade, capacity (100k–300k tons/year)Tailored for low carbon/alloy steels, site conditions, and OEM specs.
IndustriesSteel mills with CCMEssential for billet/slab production in integrated and mini-mills.
