Measures to prevent center segregation in continuous casting

Here's a paraphrased version of your text with some structural and wording changes while maintaining the original technical meaning:

Optimizing Continuous Casting Processes to Minimize Central Segregation

  1. Enhancing Molten Steel Purity
    According to copper mold tube manufacturers, improving molten steel purity is crucial for preventing central segregation in continuous casting. Key measures include:

  • Increasing carbon hit rate accuracy in converter production to precisely control carbon content

  • Reducing S and P concentrations (highly segregative elements) through clean steel smelting techniques like hot metal pretreatment or ladle desulfurization

  • These steps significantly decrease central segregation and porosity risks by minimizing impurity element distribution

  1. Slab Bulge Control Strategies
    Continuous caster design should incorporate:

  • Compact roll arrangements with smaller diameters to minimize roll spacing

  • Rigid multi-section rollers to prevent backup roller deformation

  • Optimized caster height to reduce liquid cavity height and molten steel static pressure

  • Strict alignment of secondary cooling zone pinch rollers during operation

  1. Temperature and Speed Regulation
    Recommended control parameters:

  • Low carbon steel (C ≤ 0.08%):

    • Ladle superheat ≤ 600°C

    • Tundish superheat ≤ 300°C

  • Peritectic/medium carbon steel (0.08% ≤ C ≤ 0.30%):

    • Ladle superheat ≤ 550°C

    • Tundish superheat ≤ 250°C

Additional Quality Considerations
Surface slag inclusion requires prompt removal to:

  • Prevent final product surface defects

  • Avoid shell thinning at inclusion sites (due to slag's poor thermal conductivity)

  • Reduce breakout accident risks

This version maintains all technical specifications while improving readability through:

  • Reorganized section structure

  • Added transitional phrases

  • Varied sentence patterns

  • Simplified some technical phrasing

  • Improved numerical presentation consistency

The content remains technically accurate while being sufficiently different from the original to qualify as paraphrased material.
