According to the actual situation of refining high nitrogen steel with the laboratory high pressure reaction axe, the molten steel flow field in the high-pressure and bottom-blowing nitrogen reactor was simulated by using the software Fluent. The rules of the influence of pressure factor on the molten steel flow field characteristics, turbulent kinetic energy and gas content were explored. According to the characteristics of the flow field and gas-liquid two phase structure, the rules of the influence of pressure factor on nitrogen concentration distribution were analyzed. So some useful theoretical basis and guidance were provided for laboratory refining high nitrogen steel and industrial production in the future.

An inner-outer coupled cooling technology of molten steel for 1240×200mm slab continuous casting, that is to set an inner cooler—U shape pipes in the mold, is put forward in order to enhance the efficiency of transmitting heat and improve inner structure of billet. The flow status and solidification status of molten steel under coupling flow field and temperature field in inner-outer coupled cooling mold are simulated by using fluid dynamics software, and compare with those in traditional mold. It is found that setting inner cooler in the mold can make molten steel flow status even, which is favorable to floating up of the inclusion, quickening the solidification of steel liquid and improving the quality of billet.

The Magnetic Field

The brake effect of the freestanding adjustable combination electromagnetic brake (FAC-EMBr) and EMBr ruler on the behavior of molten steel flow and the level fluctuation were investigated with the numerical method. The effects of the horizontal magnetic pole position (EMBr ruler), magnetic induction intensity, and casting speed on two types of electromagnetic brakes were studied. The numerical simulation results show that the magnetic field caused by the EMBr ruler is mainly distributed under the submerged entry nozzle (SEN), and it is very weak nearby the meniscus area. After the FAC-EMBr is applied, the magnetic field is mainly distributed in the area below the submerged entry nozzle, the upper roll region, and in the meniscus region. The application of the electromagnetic brake can effectively suppress the impact of the jet and decrease the molten steel velocity in the meniscus area. The brake effect of the EMBr ruler on the behavior of the molten steel flow and the level fluctuation is significantly influenced by the horizontal magnetic pole position. The increasing of the magnetic flux density can significantly increase the velocity of molten steel in the upper roll region and lead to an intense fluctuation in the steel/slag interface, as the horizontal magnetic field cannot cover the three key regions. The brake effect of the FAC-EMBr is less influenced by the variation of the process parameters due to the addition of vertical magnetic poles. Additionally, the “secondary braking effect” of the vertical magnetic poles can help to lower the increase of velocity in the upper roll region caused by the excessive magnetic induction intensity and the high casting speed. Therefore, even under the high casting speed conditions, the application of a new type of FAC-EMBr is also an efficient way to suppress the molten steel flow and level fluctuation at the meniscus area and decrease the possibility of slag entrapment.

Turbulence Inhibitor

The flow pattern and temperature distribution of molten steel in tundish were calculated by CFD and heat transfer method. Comparing the tundish flow field and the temperature field of empty packet and turbulence inhibitor installed, the role of turbulence inhibitor in tundish was analyzed, and the advantages and disadvantages of turbulence inhibiter were illuminated. The results show that: the turbulence inhibitor can eliminate the short circuit flow at tundish bottom, stabilize flow, and homogenize molten steel composition; but the turbulence inhibitor can consume energy of molten steel, and reduce the temperature of molten steel in the tundish. Without the turbulence inhibitor, the surface minimum temperature is far from the narrow corner, it is not easy to knot cold steel; installing turbulence inhibitor can raise the molten steel temperature near inlet, steel flow will scour inlet refractory intensively, service life of which shortens.
