Initial Solidification Control of Continuous Casting Using Electromagnetic Oscillation Method

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 ...

Thermal-mechanical behaviour during initial solidification in continuous casting: steel grade effects

A transient finite-element model (CON2D) is applied to compute temperature, stress, and distortion of the steel shell during initial solidification. The model incorporates temperaturedependent properties, thermal shrinkage, phase transformations, and different elastic-viscoplastic constitutive equations for each phase (liquid, d, and c). The effects of sudden metal level fluctuations are simula...

Solidification and Particle Entrapment during Continuous Casting of Steel

Avoiding particle entrapment into the solidifying shell of a steel continuous caster is important to improve the quality of the continuous cast product. Therefore, the fluid flow dynamics in the steel melt and mushy zone, heat transfer and solidification of the steel shell, as well as the motion and entrapment of inclusion particles during the casting process were investigated using computation...

Parallel Dynamic Solidification Model of Continuous Steel Casting on Gpu

Nowadays, dynamic solidification models of continuously cast steel are commonly used in steelworks over the world to control the casting process and to monitor the steel production. Moreover, these models of transient temperature field can also be utilized for optimization of continuous casting, its on-line regulation, or may help operators to solve non-standard or breakdown situations that can...
