The numerical method was employed to investigate the effect of rotating magnetic field on the flow field in the SEN and the mold under different slide-gate opening ratios. Numerical results showed that when the slide-gate opening ratio is smaller than 100%, the flow field in the SEN and the mold become asymmetry and there is an obvious circulation under the slide- gate in the SEN. With increasing exciting current, the divergent angle of liquid steel at the SEN outlet increases, the impact depth of liquid steel in the mold decreases. With increasing slide-gate opening ratio, the impact depth of liquid steel in the mold increases and the required exciting current to weaken the bias flow should increase.展开更多

In this paper, electromagnetic swirling flow in nozzle technology is proposed to control the flow field in mold.This technology can drive molten steel to rotate inside the submerged entry nozzle by electromagnetic force, therebycontrolling the flow field. This research shows that it can reduce the impact of molten steel on the bottom of nozzle andpartly reduce the negative pressure at the upper part of nozzle outlet which is even eliminated by optimizing the structureand angle of nozzle. The area of heat flux of the mold wall becomes larger, and the crest value of heat flux gets lower thanthat without swirling in nozzle and any nozzle optimization. The meniscus fluctuates smoothly, and the flow velocity at thetop surface is within a reasonable range. The temperature field distribution in the mold is uniform which was beneficial tothe growth of equiaxed crystal and decreased element segregation.展开更多
