Numerical Investigation of the Combined Effect of Reactive Cleaning and Active Filtration on Inclusion Removal in an Induction Crucible Furnace

Herein, the combined influence of reactive cleaning and active filtration on inclusion removal is investigated using numerical simulations. Carbon‐bonded ceramic foam filters with effect are inserted into steel melt to remove nonmetallic inclusions. In case cleaning, carbon can dissolve from melt. As a result, reacts oxygen surface form monoxide bubbles. The capture inclusions in terms its effect. A model developed open source library OpenFOAM study efficiency filters. results simulations show that flow field concentration affected considerably by position number used Moreover, highlight significant positive level cleanliness despite short time phase it apparent dominates filtration. findings article prove importance casting industry enhance improve quality.
