Secondary cooling is one of the important techniques of continuous casting. A mathematical model for heat transfer during solidification in continuous casting was established in researching on influence of the solidifying process on slab quality. The dynamic secondary cooling system has been analyzed with consideration of the principles, nozzles arrangement method and mathematical model of solidification process. The model was applied on some continuous casting machines. It indicates that the dynamic cooling model is better than conventional ones.

Heat Transfer Simulation

A 2D mathematical Model for heat transfer during solidification in the secondary cooling was established on researching the process of beam blank continuous casting. Meanwhile, the boundary conditions of heat transfer was subdivided into four parts, which is the radiation, spray cooling, heat conduction through roller and water accumulated evaporation in secondary cooling zoon, and improved the results accuracy. Moreover, heat transfer simulation software was designed and developed by a 2D mathematical Model based on FLUENT. The secondary development language UDF (User Define Function) and Scheme (a dialect of LISP) of FLUENT were used during the development. The software provided a platform for researching on the solidification and optimization of a secondary cooling system for a caster machine of beam blank.

Efficient secondary cooling water control level slab continuous casting process and quality are closely related. Casting solidification heat transfer model is the basis of process control and optimization, heat transfer model based on determining the secondary cooling system is the most widely used method for casting production process can be simulated. However, when considering the many factors affecting the production and input conditions change significantly, real-time and strain of this method is not guaranteed. Therefore, the artificial intelligence optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms, neural networks, fuzzy controllers, introducing continuous casting secondary cooling water distribution and dynamics of optimal control methods, the rational allocation of caster secondary cooling water and dynamic control is important.

Mathematical model of heat transfer on solidification is established combined with the practical production situation of the continuous caster. The thickness of solidified slab shell in secondary cooling spot is determined by nail-shooting experimentation. Heat transfer coefficient on different secondary cooling zone is modified by nail-shooting result, thus the accuracy of the mathematical model is ensured. Comparing practical result with that calculated by mathematical model, it shows that modified model can simulate the heat transfer and solidification process, which can provide accurate end solidification spot and serve for soft reduction.

Multiphase Fluid

Multiphase fluid flow involving solidification is common in many industrial processes such as extrusion, continuous casting, drawing, etc. The present study concentrates on the study of air gap formation due to metal shrinkage on the interfacial heat transfer of a continuous casting mold. Enthalpy method was employed to model the solidification of continuously moving metal. The effect of basic process parameters mainly superheat, withdrawal velocity, mold cooling rate and the post mold cooling rate on the heat transfer was studied. The results of cases run with air gap formation were also compared with those without air gap formation to understand the phenomenon comprehensively. The current study shows that there exists a limiting value of Pe above which the effect of air gap formation on the overall heat transfer is negligible.
