The turbulent flow of molten steel and the superheat transport in the mold region of a continuous caster of thin steel slabs are investigated with transient large-eddy simulations and plant experiments. The predicted fluid velocities matched measurements taken from dye-injection experiments on full-scale water models of the process. The corresponding predicted temperatures matched measurements ...

IN order to remain competitive in the worldwide market for continuously cast steel, steel producers are finding it increasingly important to implement process control improvements. Through superior production process monitoring and control, producers are improving steel quality and are meeting customers’ requirements for steel size, grade, quantity, and properties at the lowest cost. Computer m...

Two types of high-speed twin-roll casters and a single-roll caster equipped with scraper were proposed. One the is vertical-type caster, other an unequal-diameter caster. The can cast strip at speeds up to 120 m/min. casts 60 superior point conveyance strip. A without center-line segregation 40 use copper alloy roll non-use parting material enable casting. Since loads these are smaller than 0.1...
