Numerical Simulation and Application of Tundish Cover Argon Blowing for a Two-Strand Slab Continuous Casting Machine

Mathematical Simulation for the Effects of Flow Control Devices in a Six- strand Tundish in Continuous Casting of Steel Billet

The method of continuous casting of steel is now often used in the metallurgical industry, due to the increasing demand for the production of high – quality steel. An important device of continuous casting machine is the tundish, in which a stabilized steel flow has a crucial effect on the quality and efficiency conditions of the continuous casting process. In this study fluid flows in a six – ...

Numerical and Physical Modelling of Steel Flow in a One-strand Continuous Casting Tundish

Constantly increasing customers demands for the production of high and very high-quality steels, promote the intensive technological development of their production. Since the dominating method of global steel production is continuous casting, the tundish has become very important metallurgical unit. Nowadays, tundish is not only a storage vessel which guaranty the continuous casting of steel, ...

Modeling Study of Intermixing in Tundish and Strand during a Continuous-casting Grade Transition

A 1-D, transient mathematical model (MIX1D) has been developed to simulate the final composition distributions produced within continuous-cast slabs and blooms during an arbitrary grade transition. This work applies the model to investigate the effect of process variables on the extent of intermixing during a typical ladle change operation, where mixing occurs in both the tundish and the liquid...
