In both continuous casting of steel slabs and direct chill (DC) casting of aluminum alloy ingots, water is used to cool the mold in the initial stages of solidification, and then below the mold, where it is in direct contact with the newly solidified surface of the metal. Water cooling affects the product quality by (1) controlling the heat removal rate that creates and cools the solid shell an...

High temperature deformation behavior of cast 310S stainless steel has been investigated in this study by performing tensile and compression tests at temperatures from 900 to 1200C. Rectangular ingots of which the dimensions were 350×350×100 in millimeter were cast using vacuum induction melting. Phase equilibrium was calculated using the FactSage®, thermodynamic software and database. Thermal ...

Water-cooling plays a major role in extracting heat from both the mold and solidifying metal during the continuous casting of steel and aluminum alloys and is characterized by complex boiling phenomena. Heat extraction rates during water-cooling, which have strong dependence on the metal surface temperature, can rapidly change with time as the strand cools down. Consequently, uncontrolled cooli...

High turbulence at the liquid steel−mold flux interface results in mold entrapments, which can generate nonmetallic inclusions during ingot‐casting process. Those are detrimental to final steel quality. The teeming process ingot casting is typically conducted using uphill method. authors propose a novel alternative method side process, decreases free surface. To define optimum operational condi...

The mandrel reaming forging is of great significance to the billeting ring ingot. Through analysis deformation steel ingot mandrel, it concluded that exists in radial, axial and tangential directions, which are similar rigid zone, active plastic zone passive upsetting theory. Numerical simulation methods used analyze verified has a an directions. At same time, reduction rate found greater impac...
