The metallurgical performances in a mold cavity were investigated using a conventional bilateral-port nozzle or a swirling flow nozzle (SFN) plus with in-mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) for bloom continuous casting (CC) process. To this end, a coupled model of electromagnetism, flow, and heat transfer was developed. Meanwhile, corresponding plant trials were conducted to evaluate the influence of a melt feeding mode on the internal quality of an as-cast bloom in Shaoguan Steel, China. Under the case of the SFN plus with M-EMS, a novel opposite stirring mode in the bloom CC mold cavity can be observed. A swirling flow in the anti-clockwise direction generated by the SFN, and the other swirling flow in the clockwise direction induced by the M-EMS were formed in regions with distances ranging from 0 m to 0.11 m and 0.218 m to 1.4 m from the meniscus, respectively. As compared to the case of the bilateral-port nozzle plus with M-EMS, the opposite stirring mode in the mold cavity can promote the melt superheat dissipation, improve the casting soundness and the componential homogeneity, inhibit the mold level fluctuation, and also be beneficial to prevent slag erosion for the nozzle external wall at the meniscus. Here, the fluctuation range of carbon segregation along the casting direction is reduced from 0.16 to 0.06, and the magnitude of mold level fluctuation is reduced from 5.6 mm to 2.3 mm under the adoption of SFN plus with M-EMS, respectively.

AbstractTo investigate the formation of one kind of typical inter-dendritic crack around triple point region in continuous casting(CC) slab during the operation of soft reduction, fully coupled 3D thermo-mechanical finite element models was developed, also plant trials were carried out in a domestic continuous casting machine. Three possible types of soft reduction amount distribution (SRAD) in the soft reduction region were analyzed. The relationship between the typical inter-dendritic cracks and soft reduction conditions is presented and demonstrated in production practice. Considering the critical strain of internal crack formation, a critical tolerance for the soft reduction amount distribution and related casing parameters have been proposed for better contribution of soft reduction to the internal quality of slabs. The typical inter-dendritic crack around the triple point region had been eliminated effectively through the application of proposed suggestions for continuous casting of X70 pipeline steel in industrial practice.

Immersion Nozzle

Swirling flow in an immersion nozzle is effective on improving quality of casting block and casting speed in continuous casting process of steel. However, a refractory swirl blade installed in the nozzle is liable to cause clogging, which limit the application of the process. In this study a new process is proposed, that is a rotating electromagnetic field is set up around an immersion nozzle to induce a swirling flow in it by Lorentz force. New types of swirling flow electromagnetic generator are proposed and the effects of the structure of the generator, the coil current intensity and frequency on the magnetic field and on the flow field in the immersion nozzle are numerically analyzed.

A model on non-sinusoidal oscillation of continuous casting mould was established to study the pressure in flux channel. The effects of oscillation parameters on the pressure in flux channel were researched. The non-sinusoidal oscillation parameters were optimized. When the casting speed is 1.8 m·min-1, the optimized oscillation parameters are: non-sinusoidal factor (α) is 0.198, oscillation amplitude (s) is ±4mm and oscillation frequency (f) is 165min-1. When the casting speed is 2.0 m·min-1, the optimized oscillation parameters are: α is 0.186, s is ±4.5mm and f is 155min-1. These optimized oscillation parameters are proved applicable in practice.

Heat Transfer By Radiation

AbstractThe paper presents the results of research concerning the influence of radiative heat transfer on the strand and mould interface. The four models for determining the heat transfer boundary conditions within the primary cooling zone for the continuous casting process of steel have been presented. A cast slab - with dimensions of 1280×220 mm - has been analysed. Models describing the heat transfer by radiation have been specified and applied in the numerical calculations. The problem has been solved by applying the finite element method and the self-developed software. The simulation results, along with their analysis, have been presented. The developed models have been verified based on the data obtained from the measurements at the industrial facility.
