Ltd. Several steel grades were chosen to research, such as, 40Cr and 42CrMo. According to the results of the high temperature mechanical property tests of blooms, the respective temperature curves for controlling the solidification of different steels were acquired, and a simulating software was developed. The model was verified using two methods, which were bloom pinshooting and surface strand temperature measuring experiments. The model provided references for research on the solidifying process and optimization of a secondary cooling system for automobile steel. Moreover, it was already applied to real production. The calculated temperature distribution and solidification trend of blooms had offered a reliable theory for optimizing the solidifying process of blooms, increasing withdrawal speed, and improving bloom quality. Meanwhile, a new secondary cooling system was designed to optimize a secondary cooling water distribution, including choice and arrangements of nozzles, calculation of cooling water quantity, and so on. 2008 University of Science and Technology Beijing.

The influences of the main operating factors includingcasting speed, spray cooling patterns, superheat of melt and slab size on the solidification processwere analyzed and the means of enhancing the slab temperature was brought forward. Raising thecasting speed to 1.3 m/min, controlling the flowrate of secondary cooling water and improving thecooling pattern at the lower segments of secondary cooling zone could improve the slab temperatureeffectively. And the increasing the superheat is adverse to the production of high temperature slab.展开更多

Some characteristics such as fluid flow, solidification and temperature distribution near the submerged entry nozzle （SEN） and the corner of the mold were simulated and analyzed. The result of the calculation indicates that the flow of molten metal forms two big cycling zones in the mold after it flows out of the SEN, and the temperature at the center of the two zones is relatively low. Moreover, there is a small narrow cycling zone near the narrow side of the mold due to casting. The velocity of the surface flow, the turbulent kinetic energy and the F value might reveal the relationship between the fluctuation of meniscus and the quality of the slab to some degree.展开更多

Different approaches were utilized for calculating the thermal conductivity of solid, mushy and liquid steels.

It is found that the approach for calculating the thermal conductivity of solid steel notably influences model predictions.
