Abstract
A mold simulator was developed to replicate the mold oscillation and casting speed conditions of a continuous caster on the lab scale. A mold was designed incorporating fiber optics to capture internal temperature gradients and transient heat transfer phenomena during the initial solidification of steel. Casting parameters (casting speed, oscillation stroke and oscillation frequency) were investigated using the mold simulator. Solidified steel shells and mold thermal data were collected and characterized after initial solidification to investigate the impacts of mold oscillation on shell growth and mold heat transfer.
