Through establishing solidification-heat transfer mathematical model of the super heavy steel ingot, the temperature distribution at different moments in the solidification process of steel ingot has been simulated. Based on the simulated temperature field and the law of solute redistribution, the carbon macrosegregation in the solidification process has been calculated. The results show that, the complete solidification time of the 600T steel ingot is 68.34 hours, and positive segregation of carbon forms in the ingot head, and the concentration of carbon near the upper axis which is higher than 81 percent of the ingot’s height is over 2 times than the average value.

Abstract In order to predict the distribution of shrinkage porosity in steel ingot efficiently and accurately, a criterion R√L and a method to obtain its threshold value were proposed. The criterion R√L was derived based on the solidification characteristics of steel ingot and pressure gradient in the mushy zone, in which the physical properties, the thermal parameters, the structure of the mushy zone and the secondary dendrite arm spacing were all taken into consideration. The threshold value of the criterion R√L was obtained with combination of numerical simulation of ingot solidification and total solidification shrinkage rate. Prediction of the shrinkage porosity in a 5.5 ton ingot of 2Cr13 steel with criterion R√L>0.21 m · °C1/2 · s−3/2 agreed well with the results of experimental sectioning. Based on this criterion, optimization of the ingot was carried out by decreasing the height-to-diameter ratio and increasing the taper, which successfully eliminated the centreline porosity and further proved the applicability of this criterion.
