The invention discloses an intermediate-frequency induction and
directional solidification ingot casting process and equipment utilizing the same, which are used for producing extra-thick plates capable of guaranteeing
internal quality of ingots and meeting requirements of the
compression ratio. The intermediate-frequency induction and
directional solidification ingot casting process includes that after being subjected to external refining,
molten steel is delivered to an
ingot casting platform by the aid of steel ladles and then used for casting, is poured into
tundish through a long
nozzle,and then is poured into a water-cooled crystallizer in a protected manner after flowing through a slide
nozzle and an embedded
nozzle; a vibration device of the crystallizer vibrates to start intermediate-frequency coils arranged outside the water-cooled crystallizer, heating of induction current and
electromagnetic stirring effect are realized to control
stop time, power and frequency of the induction coils at different positions of steel ingots so as to control
internal quality of the steel ingots; a drawing device of a water-cooled underpan is started to draw the steel ingots from the water-cooled crystallizer, and finally the steel ingots are sent to be rolled. According to the distribution characters of an induced
magnetic field in an intermediate-frequency electric
induction furnace, inverted-V type segregation of the steel ingot is avoided. Gas
impurity can be removed according to the
electromagnetic stirring principle. Excellent feeding capacity of steel ingots is guaranteed, and the steel ingots casted by the process have compact insides and are free of segregation and low in
impurity by the aid of an upper heat center utilizing
induction heating. Due to better head feeding, the yield and production efficiency of steel ingots are improved.
