High casting speed coincides with the development trend of billet continuous casting, which significantly changes the casting characteristics. A mathematical model of the billet mold, which includes multiphase fluid flow, transient heat transfer, and solidification during ultra-high speed of the casting process was developed. The model is first applied to investigate the flow field of molten steel in the mold, studying the influence of steel flow upon the melting and flowing behavior of mold flux. The temperature and velocity distributions of the flux pool that formed above the molten steel surface are described. A parametric study on the melting temperature and viscosity of mold flux on liquid flux thickness and flow velocity is then carried out. Finally, the model is used to derive the relationship between interfacial tension and level fluctuations. The predictions provide an improved understanding of the melting and flowing behavior of mold flux in the billet mold and give the guidance for the design and optimization of mold flux for ultra-high speed of billet casting.

Steel Flow

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.

Steel Flow

The transient numerical model combined with the volume of fluid (VOF) approach is employed to investigate the steel/slag interface behavior under multifunction electromagnetic driving in a continuous casting slab mold. Here, electromagnetic stirring (EMS) and electromagnetic braking (EMBr), respectively, are chosen as flow multifunction control technologies in the upper and lower areas of the mold. The computational models are validated with measurement results. The results show that multifunction electromagnetic driving changes the flow pattern, which has the potential to simultaneously meet the requirements of the steel flow in the regions above and below the nozzle, ensuring the uniformity and activity of the molten steel in the upper region of the mold and avoiding the excessive depth of the impinging jet. After EMS, the steel forms a deflected circulation flow at the steel/slag interface, and the surface velocity distribution is more uniform. EMBr still has the function of stabilizing the meniscus when multifunction electromagnetic driving is applied. Taking wave height and wave amplitude as evaluation criteria, the influence of EMS and EMBr on the steel/slag interface can be evaluated and controlled to some extent by observing the key points.

In the paper, flow status and solidification status of molten steel in inner-outer couple cooling mold in the filling process are simulated by using fluid dynamics software Flow-3d, and obtain distributing diagrams of flow field and temperature field and free-surface shape diagrams in the filling process. Influences of flow field and temperature field of filling process on solidification are analyzed in the slab continuous casting. It is indicated that inner cooler can improve molten steel flow status, which is favorable to inclusion in molten steel floating up, quicken the solidification rate of molten steel in the mold.
