Transient Fluid Flow Phenomena during Continuous Casting: Part II-cast Speed Change, Temperature Fluctuation, and Steel Grade Mixing

Abstract

Many complicated phenomena are associated with transient stages during the continuous casting process, especially inside the casting mold cavity. a deep understanding of the phenomena and optimized control over the process ensure the high-quality product and low costs. This work presents a three-dimensional numerical simulation of transient fluid flow phenomena during steel continuous casting. in the Part II, the process of casting speed change (increase or decrease), temperature fluctuation, and steel grade mixing in a slab mold were investigated. the phenomena, such as flow pattern, inclusion removal fraction, temperature variation, top surface profile, and steel transportation, were addressed to evaluate the process and enhance product quality. © 2010 ISIJ.
