Numerical Simulation of Slab Broadening in Continuous Casting of Steel

Continuous Casting of Steel

Continuous casting is used to solidify most of the 750 million tons of steel produced in the world every year. Like most commercial processes, continuous casting involves many complex interacting phenomena. Most previous advances have been based on empirical knowledge gained from experimentation with the process. To further optimize the design and improve the continuous casting process, mathema...

Effects of High Cooling Rates on the Improvement of Continuous Steel Casting Microstructure

A. Mahmutović, University of Zenica, Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials, Zenica, Bosna and Herzegovina This paper has r esearched into the infl uence of trace elements in st eel, combined with new casting pr ocesses, on the microstructure and micr o-segregation phenomenon in the case of struc tural steel. Thermocalc sof tware has been applied for calculation of steel phase. In the paper, close...

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 – ...

Control issues in continuous casting of steel

Continuous casting plants are highly complex plants whose performance requires reliable mold level control system. Several effects greatly influence the surface quality of the final product and if these are not suppressed sufficiently by the mold level control system, than the production speed, hence the productivity has to be lowered. This paper analyses the most important disturbance and thei...
