Abstract This paper is aimed at the investigation of the diffusion boundary layer near the cooled casting surface encountered in the horizontal continuous casting process of carbon steel. The strip casting process is a relatively new continuous casting process. This process makes it possible to produce high-quality flat steel products directly, without using hot rolling. This explains why this process is very attractive for industry. Extensive numerical simulations under equilibrium and nonequilibrium assumptions provide valuable insight into the physics of diffusion boundary layer.

AbstractTo figure out the reason causing ladle nozzle clogging during a continuous casting process (or CC for short) for the silicon steel and get away to solve it, this paper studied the theoretical calculation of flow rates during casting, inclusions around the slide gate where ladle nozzle clogging happened, and Ca-treatment on refining units for producing the silicon steel. The results showed that: The bigger diameter of a nozzle or less nozzle clogging can guarantee an enough flow rate for reaching the target casting speed. Ladle nozzle clogging can be predicted by analyzing the percentage of a slide gate being opened. Al2O3 and its composite inclusions were the main ones which cause the nozzle clogging during the CC process of the silicon steel. Ca-treatment could transform those high melting point inclusions into C12A7 by adding Si-Ca wires and prevent the ladle nozzle clogging of the silicon steel.

To solve the nozzle clogging issue in the continuous casting process of 253MA steel, a method of modifying solid inclusions to liquid phases is proposed. The CALPHAD technique was employed to predict the liquid region of the Al2O3-SiO2-Ce2O3 system. Then a thermodynamic package based on the extracted data during the phase diagram optimization process was developed. This package was then used to compute the appropriate aluminum addition, which was 0.01% in 253MA steel. The Si-Al alloy was chosen as the deoxidant according to the thermodynamic analysis. The solid inclusions were ultimately modified to liquid phases at 1500 °C when cerium was added through the equilibrium experiments in a MoSi2 tube furnace.
