Cooling rate evaluation during solidification in the suction casting process

Solidification and thermal performance analysis of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process

The present paper evaluates the effect of the nozzle characteristics on the heat transfer and phase change of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process. A three-dimensional energy equation and a solidification model are used to drive the governing equation of the phase change and temperature distribution. A linear relation is obtained to predict the temperature-dependent of the...

Control Technology of Solidification and Cooling in the Process of Continuous Casting of Steel

Thermal Simulation of Solidification Process in Continuous Casting

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...

Modeling and Simulation with Experimental Validation of Temperature Distribution during Solidification Process in Sand Casting

The solidification of metals continues to be a phenomenon of great interest to physicists, metallurgists, casting engineers and software developers. It is a non-linear transient phenomenon, posing a challenge in terms of modelling and analysis. During the solidification of a casting in a mould, the heat-transfer between the casting and the mould plays a vital role. This paper attempts to study ...
