چکیده
Q. Yue, C. B. Zhang: School of Metallurgy Engineering, Anhui University of Technology, Ma’ anshan, China. X. Z. WANG: School of Mechanic Engineering, Anhui University of Technology, Ma’ anshan, China Fluid flows in a two-strand tundish for slab continuous casting were performed with mathematical simulation methods. The molten steel flow velocity fields in the tundish with a turbulence inhibitor, dam, and weir were numerically calculated. Simulation results showed that the tundish with a turbulence inhibitor with no opened holes has similar flow characteristics to the tundish with dam and weir. These results are essential to optimizing the turbulence inhi bitor, dam and weir parameters for slab continuous casting tundish.

متن کاملIntermixing Model of Continuous Casting during a Grade Transition
To investigate the composition distribution that develops in continuously-cast steel during a grade change, an efficient, accurate, and user-friendly computational model has been developed. The model is fully transient and consists of three submodels, which account for mixing in the tundish, mixing in the liquid core of the strand, and solidification. The first submodel of mixing in the tundish...
