Influence of mould level instability on the unevenness of solidified shell deformations during continuous casting

The influence of mould level instability during continuous casting on the unevenness initial solidified shell in hypo-peritectic steels has been investigated. Water model experiments and in-plant revealed that instability, which increases with increasing speed, is related to longitudinal cracking resulting from solidification shell. A numerical considers effect was developed used simulate formation deflections. calculation results show an increase non-uniform infiltration flux On other hand, decreases due mild cooling. Overall, plant tests calculations dramatically affects air gap
