- Abstract
This study identifies optimal cooling rates and critical strain thresholds to prevent cracking in Cr12MoV billets during continuous casting through thermoplastic experiments, high‐temperature tensile tests, and a thermal–mechanical coupled simulation model. The result shows that the critical strain (dimensionless) for corner crack propagation at temperatures of 750, 800, and 850 °C are determined to be 0.125, 0.132, and 0.147, respectively. The critical strain for internal crack formation is found to be 0.03. The simulation results indicate that as the billet enters the first straightening roll, the corner strain is 0.035 and the central strain is 0.025. Upon exiting the fourth straightening roll, the corner strain increases to 0.038, while the central strain decreases to 0.021. Through simulation and high‐temperature confocal in situ observation, it can be concluded that a surface cooling rate of ≥5 °C s−1 effectively prevents cracks during the bending and straightening stage of continuous casting.
