Evolution of Columnar γ Grain in Low Carbon Steel and Its Refinement by Additional Elements in Thin Slab Casting Simulator

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...

Texture Evolution in Low Carbon Steel Fabricated by Multi-directional Forging of the Martensite Starting Structuree

It has been clarified that deformation and annealing of martensite starting structure can produce ultrafine-grained structure in low carbon steel.  This study aims to investigate the texture evolution and mechanical properties of samples with martensite structure deformed by two different forging processes. The martensitic steel samples were forged by plane strain compression and multi-directio...

Microstructure Formation in Thin Slab Casting

New processes have been developed in the last years to produce near net shape steel products by continuous casting. This work deals with the analysis of the effects of liquid core reduction during the solidification in the microstructure of thin slabs obtained by continuous cast process. An equipment able to simulate the liquid core reduction during the solidification was projected and construc...
