1前言钢铁生产历史与中国有极大的关系。公元200年已经开发铸铁技术,比欧洲早得多。早在1958年,第一台大方坯连铸机就投入了运行,1971年第一台板坯连铸机投入运行,不比美国、日本或欧洲晚多少。此时,世界上仅有极少连铸机在运行,而就流程本身来说,仍在进行基础研究和开发工作。因此,中国引进连铸是缓慢的;在1958年和1980年之间只建设了25台连铸机(12台板坯连铸机,8台大方坯连铸机和5台小方坯连铸机),总产量约为230万 1 Preface The history of steel production has a great relationship with China. In 200 AD, cast iron technology has been developed, much earlier than in Europe. As early as 1958, the first bloom caster was put into operation. The first slab caster was put into operation in 1971, no later than the United States, Japan or Europe. At this point, there are very few continuous caster machines in operation in the world, and as far as the process itself is concerned, basic research and development work is still going on. Therefore, the introduction of continuous casting in China was slow; only 25 continuous casting machines (12 slab caster, eight bloom caster and five billet continuous casting machines were constructed between 1958 and 1980 Machine), the total output of about 2.3 million
