美《国际金属加工》1981年第4期报道:长期以来人们想把连铸与轧制直接结合起来,但是,由于传统的连铸机浇铸速度低,进而导致温度下降,因此妨碍了直接轧制的进行。目前日本的日立公司研制了一种回转式连铸机,用之浇铸钢坯。其操作速度是传统连铸机的2～3倍。这种连铸机可以使用立式和水平式两种轧机进行直接轧制,完全凝固后可进行切割。 The United States “International Metal Processing” 1981 the fourth period reported: people want to have a direct combination of continuous casting and rolling, but because of the traditional casting machine casting speed is low, which led to the temperature drop, thus impeding the direct rolling To carry out. Currently Japan’s Hitachi has developed a rotary caster, the use of cast billet. Its operating speed is 2 to 3 times that of traditional continuous caster. This continuous casting machine can be used both vertical and horizontal rolling mill for direct rolling, can be completely solidified after cutting.
