Solidification in Copper Continuously Cast in Graphite Moulds
Authors
Abstract:
A mathematical model of heat transfer in continuous casting copper slabs capable of producing experimental data has been constructed and validated against experimental data provided by the management of Copper Refineries Ltd., Townsville plant in Australia. It has been used to predict the effects of major casting variables; metal temperature, casting speed and metal conductivity. The results can be expressed most conveniently through their effects on predicted depth of liquid pool.

SOLIDIFICATION MODELING AND DENDRITE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS IN A HORIZONTAL CONTINUOUSLY CAST BRASS BILLET
Abstract: The horizontal continuous casting process has received a significant attention for near net shape casting of non ferrous metals and alloys. Numerical Simulation has been widely used for process design and optimization of continuous casting process. In the present study, a 3-dimensional heat flow model was developed to simulate the heat transfer and solidification in a horizontal b...

The solidification behavior and structure of continuous casting high rail U71Mn bloom, under different secondary cooling conditions and superheat, were numerically investigated using the Cellular Automaton-Finite Element (CAFE) model implemented with ProCAST software. Nail shooting and macro etch experiments of the bloom samples under different cooling conditions were conducted to verify the mo...

This work is focused on the effect of pouring temperature on the thermal-microstructural response of an eutectic spheroidal graphite cast iron (SGCI). To this end, experiments as well as numerical simulations were carried out. Solidification tests in a wedge-like part were cast at two different pouring temperatures. Five specific locations exhibiting distinct cooling rates along the sample were...

full textAssessment of Surface Defects in the Continuously Cast Steel
The development of continuous casting to produce semi-finished products is now so far advanced that almost any grade of steel can be continuously cast, and in the most appropriate cross section for further shaping. High quality finished products can only be produced by using defect free slabs, blooms or billet. The removal of defects is either performed selectively by removing the specific defe...
full textEvaluation of microstructure and hardness in repair with OAW method in copper DHP moulds
The surface of continuous casting moulds with high number of castings may be worn or destructed. As result, an approach for increasing these moulds life is necessary. In this project, the goal is the restoration of the DHP copper sample. In this project, the destruction of the copper sample is done by creation of groove using a CNC machine. The restoration of the sample is done using OAW and fi...
