Algorithm for Prevention of Molten Steel Sticking onto Mold in Continous Casting Process
نویسنده
چکیده
Major loss in terms of time and money in modern steel production are due to inefficient execution of the continuous casting process. The lack of monitoring and control by means of computer systems, over manual execution, for example, i.e. the inefficient continuous casting process operation, may often cause delays in workflow performance, raise the percentage of scrap material and, in extreme cases, may even cause equipment damage which should, in turn, affect even more seriously the production workflow schedule. An efficient and effective process of continuous casting, calls for an adequate algorithm 1 that would be applicable in a computer system. Such an algorithm would enable a software system to monitor the ongoing process in real time and apply mathematical equations on the data collected 2 . The software system must be designed thus to inform the system operator on corrective actions to be taken and even to execute them itself. The achievement of this goal requires the application of a new methodology, empirical data and theoretical models needed for solving practical problems – in order to achieve optimal results.

In the conventional continuous casting of steel, either mold powder or oil can be added to lubricate the mold from sticking to the solidifying steel shell. The mold powder melts to form a molten slag or flux layer, and also acts to protect the molten steel from oxidation, to insulate the molten steel from heat loss, to absorb inclusions from the molten steel, to regulate heat transfer to mold w...
متن کاملFormulation of Mold Level Control Model by Molten Steel Flow Analysis Method
This paper describes activities relating to mold level control in continuous casting process as case examples of our process control solution business, in which we clarify and evaluate the process phenomena and design the control system. Initially, a mold level control model has been formulated by fluid flow analysis technique that evaluates molten steel flow in the mold quantitatively. The mod...

Semi-Solid Casting (SSM) is a new process that could produce globular structures with mechanical properties. The cooling slope method (CLM) is a one of this process that was employed to produce the A360 feedstock. In this method, The dendritic primary phase in the conventionally cast A356 alloy has transformed into a non-dendritic one. In this paper, The molten alloy with the temperature (PT) o...
متن کاملTransient Fluid-Flow Phenomena in the Continuous Steel-Slab Casting Mold and Defect Formation
Phenomena associated with the turbulent flow of molten steel in a continuous casting mold are responsible for many defects in the final product, including surface slivers, frozen meniscus hooks, captured inclusions that enter the mold from upstream, and mold slag entrapment. Animations of some of these transient flow phenomena are presented from Large-Eddy Simulations of a typical slab caster w...
متن کاملMolten Steel Level Control of Strip Casting Process Monitoring by Using Self-Learning Fuzzy Controller
The twin-roll strip casting process is a typical steel-strip production method which combines continuous casting and hot rolling process. The production line from molten liquid steel to the final steel-strip is shortened and the production cost is reduced significantly compared to the conventional continuous casting. The twin-roll strip casting process can produce 1-5 mm thin steel strip direct...
