Characterization and Modeling of Ladle Teeming Process

Abstract:

In the continuous casting process, significant amounts of molten steel are left in the ladle during teeming as an established practice to avoid vortexing funnel formation in the end of the teeming process, preventing the ladle slag to be carried over to the tundish. Thus, it was the objective of this work to experimentally and numerically analyze the funnel formation in ladle teeming process. Experiments were designed and carried out to verify the numerical results.
