Modeling of oxide inclusions in steel casting

Abstract A model is presented that predicts the amount and location of oxide inclusions in steel castings. number size distribution inclusions, defined about a mean diameter, enters casting system at its inlet during filling process are transported to their final locations casting. Model parameters for inclusion density, drag wall friction used calculate motion particles. results study effects shape surface orientation on distributions within These compared with tracking experiments where geometry gating cope surfaces affect Measured simulated area percent coverage, count diameter range modelling distributions. The inlet, other parameters, determined which provide best agreement between measured area, count, size.
