Abstract: Numerical and physical simulation on model samples can provide data for various aspects of metal forming, without resorting to time-consuming and costly full-scale tests. This paper presents examples of modeling of the deformation of a slab with a liquid core. The use of soft reduction can enhance the homogeneity of the structure, which improves the quality of cast billets. Mathematical modeling is described here where the fluid layer is taken into account by the influence of boundary conditions in the crust in the form of ferrostatic pressure, which allows calculation of the intensity of deformation, total deformation and strain. It also provides a novel method for studying the process of soft reduction. It is based on a physical model of the slab consisting of a closed solid shell made of a calibrated lead shot and the Wood's alloy. To simulate the liquid molten metal, the interior of the shell is filled with gelatin. This approach can be applied to further studies on deformation processes and the penetration of deformation into complex metallic systems.

Abstract: The key technology of the liquid core heavy reduction rolling mill relates to the roller’s normal life cycle in a bad work condition. It is the guarantee of continuous production. This paper simulated and calculated the two roller types which are built-up welding roller and roll-sleeve type roller, material of the rollers is H13 (4Cr5MoV1Si) which has better synthetical mechanical properties. It also calculated the fatigue life under the steady temperature, stress and strain fields after rolling for five cycles though the strain-life method.

Abstract: The key technologies of heavy reduction on liquid core of thick slab rolling mill are designing the roller structure and the selection of high temperature high strength materials. This paper using finite element analysis method compared the temperature field, thermal stress field and strain field. Two material 2Cr12NiMoWV and 5Cr4W5Mo2V and two structures which is roll-sleeve and built-up welding roll in rolling process are analyzed. The results show that the 5Cr4W5Mo2V roll-sleeve type roller has advantages.

Abstract: A two dimensions (2D) multiphase solidification model is used to study the liquid core solidification in the influence of deformation during soft reduction of continuous casting (CC). The transient transport equations (mass, momentum and enthalpy) for each phase of a thin steel slab CC are solved. Four different cases including of density-temperature function and deformation reduction factor on this CC are simulated. The solidification ending point position of liquid core, temperature, velocity and fracture of liquid and solid phases are compared. Understandings to the deformation and liquid core formation mechanism on soft reduction solidification process of CC are improved.
