Abstract

In this paper, by using the commercial finite-element software of ProCAST, unidirectional solidification processes in 23t steel ingot were simulated. Emphasis is placed on analysis of required time for complete solidification of steel ingot and temperature distribution about ingot and side wall during the solidification process. By comparing simulation values and measured values of side wall during the solidification process, the simulated results conclusively demonstrate that our developed model is feasible and valuable.
