Review Article on Physical and Numerical Modelling of Sen and Mould for Continuous Slab Casting
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the years, considerable efforts have been made to study the performance of Submerged Entry Nozzle (SEN) and mould of continuous slab caster. Numerous physical and numerical modelling studies have already been carried out and reported in the literature to study the fluid flow behaviour inside the mould. Based on the extensive literature search, a summary of these is presented here. For the sake of convenience, the studies have been categorized into two major groups, e.g., physical modelling and numerical modelling. In each of these categories, a large number of publications on various aspects have been reported. Sufficiently reliable numerical models are also currently available and these also allow one to carry out full scale predictions and useful engineering design calculations.

Physical Modeling of Steel Delivery during Thin Slab Continuous Casting
A full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (SEN) was constructed. On the basis of the dimensionless Reynolds and Froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. In order to determine the optimum ope...
متن کاملAn Investigation on Mold Powders Properties Consumed in Iran
This paper describes the work done between IUST and two Iranian steelworks to evaluate and review the performance of mould fluxes in current use for continuous casting. Calculations have been performed to compare actual values of powder consumption, viscosity and break temperature of the fluxes in current use with required values derived from published empirical rules for casting conditions....

In this investigation a new model was developed to calculate gas pressure at the melt/foam interface (Gap) resulting from foam degradation during mould filling in the Lost Foam Casting (LFC) process. Different aspects of the process, such as foam degradation, gas elimination, transient mass, heat transfer, and permeability of the refractory coating were incorporated into this model. A Computati...
متن کاملImpact of the Density of the Mould Powder on Thickness of the Layer of Liquid Slag in the Continuous Caster Mould
The demand of highest possible effectiveness is put on all production processes, while the highest quality is demanded from products. These requirements are particularly justifi ed in the steel industry, due to high cost of technical equipment assembly and production cost. In such conditions continuous processes are of signifi cant meaning, since they facilitate maximum utilization of productio...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Heat Transfer for Steel Continuous Casting Process
Heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. A heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. The model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the con...
